Taitan's Head Coach - Dragon Ball Z -
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time, we're looking at the man who will do anything to win, the Taitan's Head Coach!
Story
The coach of the baseball team, Taitan. Thinking very highly of Yamcha, he hires him to play part time.
Trailing six to three at the top of the ninth inning and down two outs, the coach erupts in applause when the batter is hit by a dead ball, allowing his player to get on first base.
Giving a pep talk to Yamcha, who is already on fire with three consecutive home runs, the coach excitedly tells him, "We got two men on for you hot-shot! You can bring ‘em in, can't you?", adding, "Hey, it's worth a bonus... Well, what d'ya think?"
Eager to load the bases for Yamcha's turn at batting, he resorts to outlandish hand signals, urging the next batter to hit it even if he gets hurt in the process.
First Appearance
"Dragon Ball Z" Episode 10
Trivia
He's surprised by Yamcha's demand!
After mentioning the bonus, Yamcha demands 20,000 Zeni, and the head coach, flustered but unable to refuse, reluctantly agrees.
