Yamcha and the others enter the Pendulum room in order to experience how strong the Saiyans are and is transported to Planet Vegeta 100 years into the past. Despite their best efforts, they are easily defeated by Scarface and Shorty. When they are transported back to the Pendulum Room, Yamcha and the others feel incredible fear and woe, but become even more determined to become as strong as possible to defeat Vegeta and Nappa.

====World Martial Arts Tournament====
In Age 774, seven years after the defeat of Cell, Yamcha planned to attend the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament alongside the friends and family of Goku. Goku planned to have Fortuneteller Baba resurrect him for twenty-four hours so that he could participate in the competition and see everyone for the first time since his death. Unlike in previous tournaments, Yamcha didn't intend to take part himself as he believed there would be no point due to the power gap between him and the Saiyans. Yamcha sat with Chi-Chi during the flight to Papaya Island and explained the reason why he wasn't entering to her.
While everyone waited outside the tournament arena for the event to begin, Goku arrived using his Instant Transmission. Yamcha was among those who immediately rushed to his side and hugged him. He smiled upon seeing the first meeting between Goku and his second son Goten, who had been born months after the Cell Games. During the junior division Yamcha spectated alongside Bulma and Chi-Chi. As the main competition was about to begin, he tried in vain to break up an agrument between Bulma and Chi-Chi over who would win between Goku and Vegeta.
Just prior to the first match between Krillin and a large brute named Pintar, Yamcha assured Krillin's young daughter Marron that she dind't have to worry about him due to his strength. Later, when Gohan's love interest Videl (who was also Mr. Satan's daughter) entered the ring for her match, Yamcha had a conversation with Chi-Chi about the relationship between Videl and Gohan. He later covered Marron's eyes after Videl had seemingly accidentally killed her opponent Spopovich.
==Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!==
Two years after the defeat of Majin Buu, Yamcha was invited to attend a pre-opening gala for a hotel Mr. Satan had been working on ever since the world had been at peace. Alongside the residents of Kami House and the Son household, Yamcha was flown to the party by Videl. During the banquet, Yamcha and the Z-Fighters sensed an individual with a powerful energy signature approaching the hotel. Heading towards the entrance, they discovered a new Saiyan and a strange alien accompanying him. To everyone's surprise, Vegeta revealed that the Saiyan was his younger brother Prince Tarble.
Tarble sought his brother's help, as a duo of powerful aliens named Abo and Kado who had worked under the late Frieza were terrorizing his planet and he was powerless to stop them. Despite Abo and Kado being as powerful as Frieza was, Yamcha and the Z-Fighter didn't think they sounded threatening and decided to draw lots on who would get the chance to fight them. They drew lots by pulling raddishes out of a field and seeing whose was the largest. Ultimately however, Yamcha lost and Trunks was the one who won. The Z-Fighters then returned to the hotel entrance, where Abo and Kado arrived to confront them.
Yamcha and Krillin gave Trunks and Goten encouragement as they prepared to fight the aliens. After Abo and Kado fused in order to level the playing field against Goten and Trunks, the boys did the same and merged into Gotenks. During the fight, Gotenks used Yamcha's Wolf Fang Fist technique against Abokado. As the fight raged on, Abokado began firing waves of energy blasts that struck Mr. Satan's hotel and caused parts of the building to collapse. Yamcha quickly donned his gi and used his Spirit Ball technique to save Bulma, Puar, and Oolong from falling rubble. After the villain was defeated, Yamcha and his friends enjoyed what remained of the feast in the remains of the hotel.

===Battle of the Gods Saga===
Some time after Goku's battle with Kid Buu, Yamcha and Puar are seen flying to Bulma's birthday party, which is being held on a cruise ship. There he encounters Krillin and his family, and later Tien and Chiaotzu. When Beerus arrives, Yamcha is the first to introduce himself, but exaggerates his power, claiming to be the strongest on the ship and gives him a rough slap on the back (which deeply worried Vegeta). Beerus simply shrugs it off.
Yamcha later joins the crowd when Beerus is eating octopus balls served by Krillin, with one containing wasabi. Everyone chants for the deity to take a bite. During Goku's battle with Beerus, he is aboard Bulma's space pod to get a better view of the fight. In the end, Goku is defeated but Beerus ends up falling asleep before he can destroy Earth.
===Universe 6 Saga===
Yamcha is seen traveling with Goku and the rest of their friends to a nameless planet, where the Universe 6 and 7 Gods of Destruction Selective Martial Arts Competition was about to begin. Yamcha is a bystander and watches from the stands. He witnessed the first match between Goku and Botamo, he was later shocked when Goku was defeated by Frost. During the match between Vegeta and Cabba (he pointed out the similarities between Cabba and a young Goku, when the two first met and fought long ago), he showed doubt that Vegeta was rid of all his sinister qualities, but dismissed it when he realized that Vegeta was trying to push the young Saiyan to his limit. Yamcha witnesses the entire tournament and was present when the wish with the Super Dragon Ball was made afterwards, and they all returned back home to Earth.
===Potaufeu Saga===
Yamcha attends the Universe 7's victory party held by Bulma, and like everyone else is tasked with keeping Monaka's secret safe. After Goku's fight with "Monaka" (a costume worn by Beerus), Yamcha accidentally slipped word that the real Monaka had passed out from the fight (much to everyone's frustration, with Beerus getting angry). Goku simply believes that Monaka has the ability to clone himself. The party then commences.
===Goku Black Saga===
During the Universe 6 vs. Universe 7 baseball match, Yamcha is Universe 7's captain and takes over pitching after Goku almost gets ejected from the game, due to destroying the field. Yamcha reveals his new technique titled the "Wolf Fang Pitching Fist", where he effortlessly struck out Universe 6 for the first half of set 1 (impressing everyone). Universe 7 steps to bat with Yamcha up first, he tells Vegeta that he won't lose to him at baseball, and Vegeta throws the ball which hits Yamcha in his ribcage. Yamcha walks to 1st base, which shocked Vegeta (who thought the rules was to hit the opponent). Goku steps up to bat and Vegeta puts all of his power into the pitch causing the two to transform into their Super Saiyan Blue forms. Taking advantage of the distraction, Yamcha immediately runs to 2nd base, however Vegeta notices the sneak attempt and Goku overpowered Vegeta's pitch. Yamcha runs back to 1st when Botamo catches the ball, and throws it to Goten, who failed to catch the ball, Yamcha makes another break for 2nd base, but was struck by both Vegeta and Champa at the same time and he still made it to 2nd base and was allowed to stay due to being attacked.
When Gohan hits the ball, and Yamcha makes a run to 3rd base, Botamo and Auta Magetta used teamwork to catch the ball, but Champa once again intervenes and throws the ball at Yamcha's spine causing the latter to fall on the ground while still managing to reach 3rd base. While Yamcha proclaimed that he won't lose at baseball, Champa merely taunts him for being a wuss and soon Beerus (irritated by his brother for playing dirty and attacking Yamcha) steps in and the two gods fight. Everyone reached Bulma's shield to protect themselves, except for Yamcha who bravely dashes for home base during the ki barrage storm that was flying off Beerus and Champa, destroying the entire area. The fight is stopped by their attendants and Vados points out to Champa that Universe 7 won the match, pointing down and showing Yamcha at home base. Yamcha had survived the ki barrage storm and states that he is going to take a different kind of walk off collapsed from his injuries.
===Universe Survival Saga===
Yamcha appears at Capsule Corporation, congratulating Bulma on her newborn child. He later overhears Goku and Gohan recruiting fighters for the upcoming Tournament of Power, and becomes convinced that he will be recruited also, and heads home waiting for Goku to ask him.
Later at his house with Puar, Yamcha is rehearsing his lines of initially refusing Goku's offer to join in the Tournament of Power and then show up at the last minute, all the while waiting for Goku to appear. He and Puar are seen in bed watching television until Master Roshi and Oolong arrive, the former asks for Puar to transform into a beautiful young girl to overcome his weakness for the Tournament of Power; in the meantime a downtrodden Yamcha asks of what his chances are for getting invited, and Oolong responds with a maybe.
Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong appear behind the Capsule Corp. building watching on as Goku and the others leave for the Tournament of Power. After everyone has left, he mentions that the fate of their Universe is in their hands.
===Galactic Prisoner Saga===
Several months after the Tournament of Power, the Z-Fighters were warned by the Galactic Patrol that the Moro Corps, a gang of magically-enhanced escaped alien convicts led by the ancient wizard Planet-Eater Moro, were planning to plunder and decimate Earth in two months time. A sizeable division of Galactic Patrolmen were sent to protect the Earth, and Yamcha and the other Z-Fighters were temporarily deputized to help bolster the defence force. On the day of the attack, the Z-Fighters seperated and headed to various places around the world that were being raided by the Moro Corps.
Yamcha, having sensed the location of some Moro Corps members, flew off with the support of a small Galactic Patrol detachment. He eventually tracked down three convicts to a city, where he began fighting them as his Patrol supporters watched on. Partway through his fight he sensed Gohan and Piccolo faraway winning their own battle with the android OG73-i. Turning his attention back to the three convicts, Yamcha quickly defeated them and had his Patrolmen restrain them before they could pose a threat again. Sensing more rampaging convicts, Yamcha flew off in search of another fight.
Eventually, Yamcha met his match when he faced off against a lizard-like alien who proved too much for him to handle alone. Tien and Chiaotzu arrived to support him, at which point the convict introduced himself as Zauyogi—a powerful and high-ranking member of the Moro Corps. Despite fighting together, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu were still at a disadvantage against Zauyogi. Fortunately, Goku arrived using his Instant Transmission and defeated Zauyogi with a single blow. Yamcha suggested to Goku that he should help everyone else instead of them, as they had the situation under control.
Later, as Goku desperately fought against Moro after the defeat of every Moro Corps member, Yamcha and the other Z-Fighters arrived on the scene. Alongside the other Z-Fighters, Yamcha gave his energy to Vegeta who in turn gave it to Goku in the hopes that he could power up and defeat Moro once and for all. The energy proved to be too little and Yamcha despaired that the Earth would be destroyed by Moro. However, seemingly out of nowhere a giant sphere of divine energy revitalized Goku and allowed him to power up. With his newfound strength, Goku was able to kill Moro and save the Earth.
Yamcha and the other Z-Fighters flocked to Goku's side and congratulated him on his victory. Later on, Yamcha attended a party celebrating the defeat of the Moro Corps held at Mr. Satan's estate. During the celebrations, he sat with Tien, Chiaotzu and Puar.
