Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha

A single-issue self-contained story from Viz Media, this 2018 one-shot reimagines the original Dragon Ball through the eyes of a modern fan who wakes up as the perpetually unlucky supporting character Yamcha. Written and drawn by dragongarow LEE (with additional scripting by Stefan Koza), the comic is a playful, meta-commentary on the classic series' tropes and fan expectations. It matters as a concise, affectionate homage that explores what it means to be a minor player in a world of superhuman heroes.
