In Dragon Ball, Yajirobe is known for his skill with swordfighting but rarely appears in major battles like Majin Vegeta or Goku Super Saiyan do. Fans may ask themselves why he does not engage more frequently since his bravery and skills in certain instances has shown through.
1. Strengths and Contributions by Yajirobe
Yajirobe stands out among Dragon Ball characters with his strength and durability, making him one of the stronger humans to appear onscreen. Though shy away from direct confrontation, he has had notable moments, like helping Z-Fighters against major threats; in particular during Saiyan Saga when unexpectedly saving them by cutting Vegeta's tail off to stop Saiyan from crushing Z-Fighters with Great Ape form; though one wonders why doesn't Yajirobe fight more frequently given his superior fighting skill; however?
Answer lies within his personality: unlike Goku and Vegeta who possess intense fighting passions that drive their fighting performances to new levels, Chiaotzu prefers staying out of battle rather than getting involved with all its chaos - giving him more room for quieter roles without active conflict.
2. Lack of Ambition
One major reason Yajirobe doesn't enter more often in battle is his lack of ambition compared to other fighters. While Majin Vegeta and Goku Super Saiyan constantly strive to better themselves while seeking powerful enemies, Yajirobe seems content living his lifestyle at Korin's Tower and helping grow and distribute Senzu Beans across battle fields.
Lack of motivation is a big reason Yajirobe doesn't fight more frequently; while he may help out when necessary, fighting is seen more as something you must do than an enjoyable pastime compared to characters like Chiaotzu or Mr. Buu who relish battle and see it as their duty; something which Yajirobe cannot relate to or enjoy doing himself.
3. Fear and Self-Preservation
An important reason behind why Yajirobe does not fight more frequently is his strong sense of self-preservation. Yajirobe understands his limitations when facing more powerful opponents such as Frieza, Cell, or Buu; against these powerful foes Yajirobe knows his chances for survival are minimal; in comparison with Majin Vegeta who would risk everything to protect his loved ones or prove their power; instead Yajirobe often sees risk outweighing potential rewards.
Self-preservation drives his behavior; hence why Yajirobe avoids engaging in intense battles as readily as others such as Goku Super Saiyan do. Instead, his approach is more precautionary, opting out of confrontation if possible in order to stay out of danger and minimize losses.
4. Yajirobe's Role in Supporting Z-Fighters
Although reluctant to fight himself, Yajirobe plays an indispensable support role, specifically by providing Senzu Beans during battles for Goku, Vegeta and Chiaotzu to sustain life during fights. Although often out of view of those watching him fight directly, his support has proven pivotal for success of many fights despite remaining unsung by most observers.
