One of them is Yamchawho began as a fearsome master of RogaFufuKen until he was humiliated by a young Goku, who knocked out a tooth by giving him one of those kicks.

Despite being reduced to a punching bag, Yamcha has won the little heart of the fandom of the dragon sagabut it lacked an even greater impulse to achieve being one of the highlights by the public.
Although he has two moments where he was able to shine like a hero; the first being defeating a wolf in the Martial Arts Tournament and the second defeating the Invisible Man, Uranai Baba’s lackey (albeit with the help of Master Roshi), still wasn’t enough for Yamcha to stand out more.
In chapter 4 of Dragon Ball Z, Yamcha is shown playing professional baseball for the first time.
He continued to persevere and that “little push” that he so longed for finally arrived. Yamcha had reinvented himself as a prominent Taitans baseball player since Dragon Ball Z.
In dragonball Super Yamcha is shown to have pursued his career in baseball, a very popular sport in Japan. In chapter 70, the warriors of Universes 6 and 7 play a match, Yamcha being the absolute dominator of the diamond. Thanks to Yamcha winning the duel with her sporting talent and her death at the hands of a Saibamen being parodied, her character tore it up on Twitter.
