Editing Yajirobe (section)

===Dragon Ball===

====King Piccolo Saga====
Yajirobe is introduced as a samurai mountain hunter with a fierce appetite. His first encounter with Goku takes place when Goku stumbles upon Yajirobe’s Prairie after being badly beaten by Tambourine. Goku eats a large fish that Yajirobe was saving, sparking a brief confrontation where they discover each other’s strength and resilience. As they fight, [[Cymbal]], a demon under King Piccolo, arrives, demanding Yajirobe’s Dragon Ball. The two play Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who will fight Cymbal, with Yajirobe winning. He quickly defeats Cymbal with his sword, slicing him in two before cooking and eating him.

Later, Tambourine attacks Yajirobe to avenge Cymbal’s death. Goku steps in to defeat Tambourine, seeking revenge for his earlier defeat. After Tambourine’s death, King Piccolo arrives. Recognizing Piccolo’s power and legacy, Yajirobe hides, giving Goku his Dragon Ball. Yajirobe watches as Piccolo brutalizes Goku, stopping his heart temporarily. After checking on Goku, Yajirobe revives him with water and carries the injured Saiyan up Korin Tower, with Bora’s help, where Goku heals with a Senzu Bean.

In the meantime, Yajirobe consumes several Senzu Beans, expanding his stomach immediately, not knowing that a single bean satisfies hunger for ten days. Yajirobe also encourages Goku not to drink the Ultra Divine Water, which increases power but causes severe pain; Goku drinks it regardless, gaining immense strength. Yajirobe briefly watches Goku battle King Piccolo in Central City but deems it too risky to stay nearby.

When Goku defeats King Piccolo, Yajirobe returns to catch the wounded Goku as he falls and takes him to Korin Tower for healing.

====Piccolo Jr. Saga====
Yajirobe later dons a disguise to compete in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, though he fails to qualify after losing to the disguised Kami in the preliminaries. After the Tournament, he assists Goku by providing him with a Senzu Bean.
