Bold to assume either of them have cocks.

Are you sure about that? Mime boy is the only person Tien ever thinks about.

They have a big brother/little brother relationship. We’ve seen no evidence Tenshinhan experiences romantic or sexual love. But platonic love towards Chaozu? Absolutely

I always thought one of their earliest scenes, when Tien chastises Chiaotzu for his childish antics towards Krillin succinctly illustrated their big brother-little brother dynamic. Like it really doesn't have to be anything deeper than that :lol:
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!

I think its awesome and heartwarming that a platonic friendship is the only relationship Ten Shin Han needs.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

I never really saw anything more than that, nothing that would suggest Tien likes/loves Chiaotzu that way as some people seem to interpret. As a brother of sorts yes but not in a romantic or sexual sense.
DB collection related goals as of now:

Tbh the Tenshinhan vs Lunch story is barely touched upon in the manga. We get some subtle points in part 1 that Lunch has a thing for Tenshinhan, Roshi mentions she went looking for Ten after the 23rd Budokai and that's it... she never appears or is mentioned again.

Iirc Toriyama mentioned he wanted to have Tenshinhan appearing married to Lunch in the end of GT but that wasn't well received or something like this.

Lunch didn't stand up too much, but I kinda wish we had seen more from her. It's a little intriguing that she was never mentioned again after Roshi slight mentioning her when Bulma went to visit him after the 5 years.

It's worth noting that Tenshinhan stated after the Cell events that they'd likely never meet each other again... which ended being true discounting Super. So I think Tenshinhan prefers pursuing the path of a lone warrior and the hardships of living alone with Chaozu than to bond with people. That's the way he is.

Cohabitation? Yes. Marriage? Well, it was the 1980s...

The irony of saying this to a bisexual woman currently dating a lesbian woman is a lot for me to process right now.[/sitcom sass]
