[Source]. In the three years following the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, Yamcha kicked his training into high gear, at the cost of his relationship with Bulma. Pushing him so far he gained his iconic cheek and eye scars and growing his hair out similarly to his days as a desert bandit, he barely recognized Goku, much less Chi-Chi. Breezing through the prelims yet again, he made it all the way to the quarter-finals before being embarrassed by Hero, an unsuspecting desk worker secretly possessed by Kami. However, despite getting upset like a younger Yamcha may have, he simply congratulated "Hero" and watched the rest of the tournament from the sidelines. Tired of being the lowest rank of the world's greatest fighters, Yamcha retired and joined professional baseball, signing under the Taitans as number 00. Despite being paid tens of times higher yearly than in his best years in the tournament, he missed dueling his friends. However, when Goku was killed by the sudden invasion of Raditz, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yajirobe were transported by Kami to train in hopes of preparing for Vegeta and Nappa.
