How many times has Yamcha been killed in the anime?

Yamcha has been killed twice...he died twice, you might say. In this series, that in no way means it is the end for him because characters can be killed more than once. He's doing pretty good though because Android 17 died two times also you might count that he died four times total if you count the timelines separately. The storyline gets very intense, and you don't want to watch because he might die again for all you know.

They can die multiple times, so one death is never final That keeps every fan on the edge of his seat, which is what this series is right about. So, Yamka has been killed twice and died twice, but he could undoubtedly die again and still be in the series. That is how Dragon Ball Z works, and it is fascinating to watch it all unfold and to keep up with the storyline behind it all.
