Haha, that's brilliant! Perfectly represents the characters' relationships. :lol:

I see "Page 1" there, are there more pages?

Page 2 makes fun of the more ridiculous fan pairings you see on the internet:

Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

OK then. Could you send me a link to that page, as well as all the other pages (if any), please?

Edited my original post. I misread it, but the description on DeviantArt says it's satirizing the fan-made pairings.

Or, y'know, rape then murder.
Ya, that sounds like something that he would do. Like another poster stated, rape is usually associated with pillaging and brute behavior throughout history, and those qualities are associated with Saiyans in DBZ. Now of course, we are thinking way too hard about this, but if I had to make an educated guess, knowing what I do about Human history and associating that with DBZ, I would say Vegeta was most likely not a virgin.
I agree. I think that rape and stuff still happened between Saiyans, and on other planets with sexually compatible races they were conquering (we saw members of Freeza's army, Recoom and Jheese that looked similar to Earthlings), because of their sadism and savagery.
IMHO such a behaviour would make them just strong humans with tails and transformation, not different race with different biology and culture. Armies killing and raping everything that moves are too familiar to our nature, while soldiers with no sexual desires would be more alien and therefore scarier to us. Army that has no feelings towards us, becouse they treat humans like animals in every possible way.
Besides that would stop plague of slavefics and bad hentai

I'd imagine Nappa and Raditz were your typical "IMMA RAPIN EVERYBODY HERE" while Vegeta was more like, "Sex is for the weak who can't control their primal urges."

Where's "like it" button?
One tiny modification: Nappa seems to be a kind of tutor to Vegeta. I'd rather image him covering his ears while there are dirty jokes around and protecting from all "PG" scenes in films and reality :mrgreen:

Would Vegeta's royalty status prevent him from "Rapin' Everbody Out Here"? It would be like the Queen of England getting down and dirty with a donkey. :lol:

Same question as Rocketman, why? Why wouldn't Vegeta want to rape the inhabitants of the planet he's conquering, if they're sexually compatible with him? Rape's about power and sadism, which fits Vegeta perfectly, and his royal status doesn't matter, because he doesn't even act like a prince anyway. He just acts like an spoilt brat who throws a tantrum when things don't go his way.

I really can't imagine Vegeta being a virgin by the time he meets Bulma

I'll repeat again: it would humanize him too much.

Wow. What a shift in direction this thread has taken... :shock:


Anyways, I've often wondered about the possibilities of anyone from the main cast sleeping with Chi Chi, whilst Goku is off battling, training, or whatever the hell it is that he does when he's away; she must be one lonely housewife.

I hope you're not implying that rape isn't inhuman.

I actually think that, after he was dumped by Bulma, Yamcha had an affair with Chi-Chi.

No it doesn't. Having him be above rape is what humanizes him. Notice what jjgp said. Why can Raditz and Nappa be rapists but not Vegeta? Because the other two are straight villains who die fairly quick.

Vegeta hangs around, moves from villain to anti-hero to hero, starts a family, grows a moostache and gets embarrassed by his daughter; we're expected to cheer for him, if sometimes only because he's allied with the good guys; he's many people's favorite character, especially if they dislike Goku's "retarded = good" schtick. So obviously he can't be a rapist. The other Saiyans can be, but not Prince Vegeta (or Bardock for that matter). No sir.




The Yamcha/Chichi affair is crap. I speak as an expert on ChiChi.
