"The Strong Villain of the Desert, Yamcha" (つよくて悪い砂漠のヤムチャ, Tsuyokute Warui Sabaku no Yamucha; FUNimation "Yamcha the Desert Bandit") is the fifth episode of the Dragon Ball anime.
Summary[]
Bulma forces Oolong to join their group, thinking that his shapeshifting ability will come in handy. Their boat runs out of gas, so they have to walk through the desert. Yamcha, a dangerous bandit, is said to live in this desert. While they walk through the desert, Yamcha and his shapeshifting cat Pu'ar ambush them. Gokū and Yamcha begin to fight. Yamcha thinks he has won after he uses his Wolf Fang Wind Style Fist, but Gokū is able to get up. Just as Yamcha is about to attack again, he sees Bulma. Yamcha gets nervous around girls, so he panics and runs away.
