Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
I doubt it, aside from them being co-students at the crain dojo and becoming best bros there, chiaotzu looks way too much like a kid. Like i get hes old technically, and based off of those weird doll things but he looks 11. Heck hes smaller than gohan at age 11. Thats just.... i dunno old people with kid looking people seems like a bad idea to try and use that as the first gay heros in mangas.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Otaku don't apply real-world logic characters, hence why so many of them ignore the fact that Chaozu basically never ages or seems to change in height. Applying real-world logic to the conversation--as western fans often do in contrast to Otaku--will do nothing of value.

Man I really canβt stand topics like this.. not because of the subject matter itself but because theyβre started with the purpose of βTehe watch me get some shit startedβ as opposed to trying to have a productive conversation.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Tien and Chiaotzu are just close friends and asexuals.
Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Tenshinhan and Chaozu have more romance scenes together than Gokuu and Chi-Chi. Remember that extremely gay music that played during Tenshinhan's death? And those flashbacks? Super gay.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Tien and Chaozu are clearly older/younger brother dynamic... itβs a really old trope and makes sense. I know that some anime is really a senseless crap with sexual torture and liquid drinking for weird people, but Dragon Ball is shonen from time, where there wasnβt much weird stuff going on and also as this series was for mainstream audience. Imagine Akira Toriyama including LBGT romance in shonen manga, that has a clear moments of making fun from homosexuality (General Blue, the leather wearing guy on Tenkaichi Budokai). Letβs face it, 80βs and 90βs were like it and homosexuals had to fought and still fight for rights.
They are like Ikki and Shun in Saint Seiya, but not related to each other.

Did Tien and Chiaotzu make out?

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

They fucked each other's souls during their deaths in the Saiyan arc.

No but neither did Goku and Chi Chi since Chi Chi has a no kissing rule when they make future scholars

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Most likely a fat no. Doubt Toriyama would even think about that no matter how bad a select few would wanna believe otherwise

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Reminder: Nobody in this thread seriously thinks Toriyama meant for Chaozu and Tenshinhan to be a men-loving-man couple.

At least there hasn't been anything which would suggest to me that was his intention when creating them. I suppose it's open to interpretation as to their relationship, but nothing strikes me personally as that being the case.
DB collection related goals as of now:
1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done)
2.) Collect rest of manga
3.) Get rest of Daizenshuu (2-7)

I mean, like, g*sh, look at all the Goten x Trunks books out there. Even 'nominally' heterosexual characters can have their 'ownership' taken by the queer community for their own purposes. That is what makes Japanese fandom of Japanese media so much fun.SuperSaiyaManZ94 wrote: βMon Feb 17, 2020 12:50 pmAt least there hasn't been anything which would suggest to me that was his intention when creating them.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
I mean yes the characters' relationships can be interpreted in that fashion if they desire to, because even if it's not explicitly written as such by Toriyama himself i'm not saying it can't.JulieYBM wrote: βMon Feb 17, 2020 12:55 pmI mean, like, g*sh, look at all the Goten x Trunks books out there.

I never really saw them that way, I always saw their relationship as more like siblings.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
The depiction of Tenshinhan's death scene in the 1989 cartoon is more romantic and sorrowful than any scene between Gokuu and Chi-Chi and Vegeta and Blooma, the two main couples in the franchise. This ripple effect it's had on how people interpret Tenshinhan and Chaozu is surely incredible.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
I guess it's possible but there's not really anything that indicates that their relationship is romantic, although Toriyama doesn't care to put romance in this series anyway even between characters that are married.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Which I am grateful for... I am no fan in pointless sex scenes in movies (which are mostly normally portrayed) and well, I am not fan of this weird Japanese otaku anime romance in anime... Last time I remember interesting and believable relationships is the old UC Gundam and Yu Yu Hakusho, as the old fart that I am, but hell, this weird hentai moe c**p nowadays. Gosh, it is the same cringe I have during Star Wars Episode II when Anakin is outright stalking predator with weird dialogues, but at least, he is not drinking Padme's urine...

Moe has existed in the Japanese animation and comics scene since the 1970s. Women and men were writing and drawing comics about cute girls before most of us on this form were even born.
Shit, moe is older than Dragon Ball.
