"**The Case of Being Reincarnated as Yamcha**" (転生したらヤムチャだった件, *Yamcha Datta Ken*) is the first chapter of *Dragon Ball Side Story: The Case of Being Reincarnated as Yamcha*.

## Summary

A young man is walking down the street with his friend, talking about the *Dragon Ball* Live Attraction at the UMJ — "Dragon Ball The Real". They lament the lack of any girls to bring to the event, and the young man mentions he came in first in a *Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle* tournament the other day, using Yamcha. His friend mentions a girl with a short skirt, and the young man goes to check her out, only to fall down the stairs after losing his balance, losing consciousness.

When the young man wakes up, he quickly discovers that he has become Yamcha. At first believing he's at the Live Attraction, he remembers the accident and realizes that lots of stories have this same set-up, and he's been reborn as Yamcha. He immediately begins to lament being reborn as Yamcha and not Son Gokū or Vegeta. Seeing Oolong, he then sees Bulma, and realizes how cute she is. Remembering that Bulma and Yamcha become a couple after this, the reborn Yamcha decides to make sure that he stays true to Bulma, so they don't break up in the future. Yamcha tries to fit in as best he can, going with the flow of the 'super realistic anime'.

With the Pilaf debacle over, Bulma makes plans to go back to the Western Capital, and they both turn down Gokū's offer to gather the Dragon Balls again next year. Throwing a Hoi Poi Capsule, Yamcha tells Gokū he'll see him at the Tenkaichi Budōkai next year. However, remembering he is due to die with the arrival of the Saiyans, he decides to go with Gokū to train with Muten Rōshi and become the strongest Earthling. He tells Bulma he can't come with her, but implores her to wait for him while he becomes stronger. Hanging onto Gokū, the reborn Yamcha sets off with him into his own adventure in the Dragon World.

Time passes by, and the reborn Yamcha confronts the Saiyans with his friends. With the Saibaimen against him, Yamcha tells Vegeta that he'll fight all six. Despite Kulilin's warnings, and Vegeta's mocking, the Saibaimen attack, but Yamcha holds his own against all six. On Vegeta's orders, they all jump-rush Yamcha, proceeding to blow themselves to smithereens. Yamcha, however, survives handily, impressing Piccolo and the others. He remembers how he went to visit the Saichōrō, and that knowing the story in advance is a huge advantage.

After Kame-Sennin is discontent by Gokū's inability to differentiate pretty women from all other women, the turtle hermit sends the young boy to look for another girl yet again.

After the turtle hermit's failed attempt to grope the mermaid, Gokū notices a boat heading to the island during his "training" session with Kame-Sennin. Emerging from the boat, a boy by the name of Kulilin arrives from a faraway east village to inform Kame-Sennin of his intentions to become one of the turtle hermit's disciples.

Kame-Sennin initially denies Kulilin's request, but Kulilin then bribes the master with a smutty magazine. After Gokū and Kulilin's brief interaction, Kame-Sennin then gives Kulilin his conditions in finding a "Pichi Pichi" gal, leading the turtle hermit to be impressed by Kulilin's ability to differentiate pretty women from others. Kame-Sennin then instructs Kulilin to ride with Gokū on his Kintoun to search for a beautiful woman. However, through Kulilin's inability to get on the Kintoun, it is revealed that Kulilin intends to train with Kame-Sennin for impure desires, or in other words, to impress girls.

In the room of the eight, all are highly disturbed by the stench of one of the fighters who goes by the name of Bacterian, who is known to have never taken a bath since the day he was born, and uses his stinky smell to purposely get opponents to put their hands over their noses and render their hands useless in combat.

Tenshinhan, however, mourns the loss of his friend, and how he can never be revived by the Dragon Balls again. Piccolo begins to formulate a strategy, to which Vegeta overhears, but does not do anything to prevent, rather wishing them luck. Piccolo replies that once Gokū arrives, things will be different, a statement which interests Vegeta. Nappa lunges, drawing the attention of the fighters. Tenshinhan prepares an attack but Kuririn and Piccolo launch their assault. Gohan, however, is too scared to follow, leaving Piccolo and Kuririn to continue the attack with blasts that Nappa dodges.

The assault merely managed to make Nappa angry, but Tenshinhan releases a massive Kikōhō from the ground, promising to avenge Chaozu and then join him in death. The blast, however, left Nappa unscathed and Tenshinhan falls to the ground in death. Severely panicking, Kuririn shouts for Gokū.

## Summary

As the Saiyans race towards Earth, Gokū continues his training with Kaiō. Gathering *ki*, Gokū has to track a moving brick and destroy it, which he succeeds in doing. Kaiō compliments Gokū on mastering the "Genki Dama" in such a short time, and explains that the technique gathers life energy from everything, and condenses it and releases it. He goes on to add that on Earth, Gokū can gather an even larger amount of energy, and can also drawn on the tremendous energy of the sun, and as such, needs to be careful left he destroy the planet he's trying to protect. As such, Kaiō instructs Gokū to save the Genki Dama as a last resort.

Gokū agrees, deciding to make do with the Kaiōken; Kaiō realizes Gokū's battle is tomorrow, and that he failed to take into account the time it would take Gokū to get back to Earth, which would be two days. Kaiō rushes Gokū to contact his friends and revive him with the Dragon Balls. Touching Kaiō's back, Gokū reaches out with his mind to speak with Muten Rōshi, filling him in on everything, and Rōshi informs the group to get the Dragon Balls.

Kaiō fixes Gokū's ripped clothing, replacing the weighted clothes with lightweight cloth made from resistant fiber that can deflect minor attacks, and on the back, his own character is emblazoned.

Gokū then proceeds to break out of Gilan's Guruguru Gum, acknowledging his tail for giving him extra strength in order to do so.

"**Last Chance for Hope**" (ＨＯＰＥへのラストチャンス, *Kibō e no Rasuto Chansu*) is the twenty-first chapter of the *Dragon Ball Super* manga, and of Part IV of the manga.

## Trivia

* There is likely a reference to the *Star Wars* franchise within this chapter. The scene where Gowasu tried to talk down Gokū Black and have him take his hand is reminiscent of the scene in *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*, when Han Solo tries to reason with his son. The way Gowasu and Han are stabbed (while reaching for Black and Ben respectively, and in the torso by an energy blade) and fall to their presumed death from a great height is also identical.

"**Speed**" (スピード, *Supīdo*; *Viz* "Goku vs. Tenshinhan, Part 2") is the one hundred seventy-seventh chapter of the *Dragon Ball* manga.

## Summary

Despite running low on breath, Tenshinhan tells Gokū that, while he may be even stronger than before, his speed — the most important thing in a battle — has remains stagnant. Tenshinhan proves this by taking the battle back to the sky, and pushing his speed even further; while Gokū's eyes can keep up, his body can't. Nearly avoiding a ring out, Gokū notes that Tenshinhan was holding back, but the latter merely says he was observing Gokū's movements.

Gokū asks Tenshinhan if he can remove his clothes, and the latter agrees. As Gokū removes them, they thud to the ground, making Tenshinhan suspicious. He discovers the shirt is ridiculously heavy — the boots and wrist pads too — and Gokū explains this was part of his training with God. As Kuririn removes the clothes from the ring, Gokū explains they're about 22 kilograms each.

With his weights removed, Gokū's speed increases, and he showcases this by removing Tenshinhan's *obi*.

## Summary

Nappa withstands the Kikōhō, leaving Tenshinhan for dead and the remaining Dragon Team members in a hopeless state. Kuririn desperately calls for Gokū, something not lost on Vegeta. Nappa decides to kill them, only agreeing to leave Piccolo "more or less" alive so he can tell them more about the Dragon Balls. Piccolo notes that he has no confidence he can win in a fight against the Saiyans, leaving Kuririn more hopless than ever.

Back on the Castle of God, God himself is wondering where Gokū is. He can also detect that he has little time left to live, and concludes that this must mean Piccolo is due to die.

The Nameccian in question urges Kuririn to take the battle against the Saiyans to the ground,
as Nappa is too accustomed to aerial combat. Nappa lunges for Piccolo and Kuririn, but Vegeta orders him to stop, and directly asks the Dragon Team if "Son Gokū" is really Kakarotto. Kuririn confirms he is, and the others vouching for Gokū inspires Vegeta to wait three more hours.

Nappa disagrees, and moves in for the kill, under Vegeta unders him to fall in line. The larger Saiyan heeds the orders of the smaller, and Vegeta grants them their three hour boon. Piccolo realizes how much stronger than Nappa Vegeta must be. Nappa isn't too keen on letting the Dragon Team live for as long as three hours, but Vegeta explains that its only so he can get revenge on Kakarotto for being a Saiyan traitor.

Son Gokū races towards Earth from the Afterworld as everyone hopes for him to make it, but three hours pass without him making it in time.

He gathers his energy and shoots it at Gokū. This energy is transformed into 20,000 volts when it hits Gokū. Just as Gokū is about to give up, he glimpses the full moon and transforms into a Giant Monkey again.

With split-second thinking, Kuririn tells Gokū they can revive God with the Dragon Balls, which gives Gokū the reassurance needed to prepare his technique.

As the battle commences, Giran lands a strong attack on Gokū, but the young boy is shown to be unaffected by the hit, much to the monster's surprise. Gokū then retaliates by landing a critical blow to Giran and throwing him out of the ring to attain victory, but this fails as the monster simply uses his wings to fly back and avoid a ring out.

Instead, he, God, must do it, and that he has learned a few things from humans. Joking that he is going to fight himself, Shen makes his way to the ring.

As the match begins, Piccolo tells Shen that his goal is Gokū, and the former is merely an obstacle in his path. Shen knows this is because Gokū would interfere with Piccolo's plans, and resolves to not give the demon the opportunity.

Vegeta explains that Nameccians, in addition to their above average battle power, has mystical abilities, and believes Piccolo to be the one who created the Dragon Balls.

Cabba sees Gokū and Vegeta and notes they are Saiyans. Cabba explains that he is also a Saiyan like them, which shocks Gokū and Vegeta. Vegeta asks what planet Cabba hails from, to which he replies planet Sadal; Vegeta is surprised that planet Sadal still exists in the 6th Universe and explains that the 7th Universe's planet Sadal was destroyed due to an internal conflict and afterwards, the 7th Universe's Saiyans pilfered another planet, naming it planet Vegeta. Cabba is astounded by the differences with their respective universes. Gokū asks Cabba about his tail, but Cabba replies that the 6th Universe Saiyans used to have tails long ago but not anymore.

After the team begins arguing, an annoyed Beerus steps in and stops the argument, declaring that Monaka will go last while they figure out the orders they will go in. Gokū decides to go first, then Piccolo and next Vegeta.

The martial arts tournament between the 7th Universe and the 6th Universe begins; the first match is between Botamo from the 6th Universe facing Gokū from the 6th Universe. The match begins with Botamo managing to give Gokū trouble. After Gokū is hit, Beerus criticizes Gokū for playing around, although Gokū mentions that he ate earlier and as a result is unable to fight properly. After jogging off the food, Gokū resumes the battle with Botamo but this time Gokū is easily able to evade Botamo's attacks; Gokū then attacks Botamo at extraordinary speed which overpowers and nearly rings out Botamo. Champa is surprised that the tables have turned and fears he miscalculated the strength of the 7th Universe. However, Champa's fears wear off after remembering Botamo's "specialty".

Botamo gets up and prepares to counter attack.

Using the Tenka-Ichi Budōkai as motivation, Gokū and Kulilin diligently work hard during their training regimen for seven months. Still having a desire to learning fighting techniques, while running away from a dinosaur, Gokū figures the only way Kame-Sennin would teach them how to fight is if both he and Kulilin prove their strength by being able to move a huge boulder. While Kame Sennin was impressed with the boys' progress, one month before the tournament, Gokū and Kulilin are both able to shock Kame-Sennin by being able to push over a huge boulder.

Afterwards, Kame Sennin claims he has nothing more to teach the young boys, and reveals the basics of the Kame Sen Martial Arts were encompassed within the training the boys had been doing over the course of seven months. For the last month, Kame-Sennin has Gokū and Kulilin wear 40 kilogram shells on their backs, leading the two young boys to wonder if all of the repetitive activities would allow them to enter the Tenkaichi Budōkai while working in the fields.

As the day of the tournament arrives, Kame-Sennin has Gokū and Kulilin take off the turtle shells from their backs. Much to the boys' surprise, they realize they can move much more freely than ever before after losing the extra weight.

* Zamasu

The **Black Power Ball** is a Ki Manipulation Technique utilized by Zamasu.

## Usage

The technique takes the form of green energy spheres with black cores. The strongest version of this technique uses one hand and can be enlarged several times. Black attempted to use this technique to kill Trunks, who was in his Super Saiyan form, a testament to the attack's power. He later used the larger version of this ability to attack Son Gokū—the force of the attack was successful in driving Gokū out of the Western Capital all the way into a nearby desert. As a Super Saiyan Rosé, the green color of this technique becomes a vibrant pink instead.

The Zamasu of the future uses this same technique, however, the *ki* is indigo with a black core.

## Trivia

* While this technique wasn't named in the anime, it was named in *Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle*.
	+ In the video card game illustration, the energy sphere is shown in indigo color like his future self and rather than green color depicted in the anime. It was also formed differently, charged similarly to the Black Kamehameha, though the game treats it as a different technique.
