Tenshinan Spin-off a good idea?

G'day to my fellow Dragon Ball nerds,

I have been pondering for the last few months with one of my mates weather or not a spin-off series for Tenshinan would be a good idea or not. I think it would be because after the Saiyan arc, his character development for almost completely forgotten about and there was much more direction Toriyama could have gone in with him (but that would interfer with Goku).

Personally I would love to see a series of any kind the delves a little deeper into his character weather it explores his past in the Tsuru (Crane) school or his own adventures in outer space to discover what race he comes from. It could also be an excellent opportunity for Choazu and Lunch (only as eye-candy) to be used a little more, plus I'd love see plenty more of this hunk with no shirt. Saikyo Jump should have been a using spin-off storyline of this manner rather than Dragon Ball SD. What do the rest of you think?

A Ten-Shin Haan spin off would be so awesome.

Just imagine the kind of adventures him, Chaozu and Lunch could have had. It would have been action packed and funny too because of Ten and Lunch.

Hmm... Needs work.

Sure. Tenshin is cool, he has a sidekick and even his own Amy Rose.

They can do all sorts of Craney stuff.

The only character who deserves his own spin-off is Muten Roshi.

I'd prefer a Krillin spin-off. Out've the whole non-Saiyan Z-Warriors, he seemed to be the coolest.

If it's a spin-off detailing Tenshinhan and Lunch's "relationship", then I'm all for it.

I'd also like to have a manga detailing Tenshinhan and Chaozu's backstory. It's one of the backstories I'm most interested in; how they were taken in by Tsuru-sennin and Tao Pai Pai, their training under them, etc.

Hell,yeah! I'm also for the backstory thing but I´d just like a Tenshinhan-Lunch-relationship story much more (though Chao Zu has to be in it)

Oh hell yeah. Tenshinhan, Chaozu, and Lunch are three of my favourite characters in the whole series. It'd be great if they got a backstory. I'd really love to know where they came from, how Tsuru-sennin and Tao Pai Pai took them in, etc.

I'd like a short series seeing how Yamucha met Pu-erh, their backstory, adventures in the desert, etc.

Piccolo Daimao, how can you separate Tenshinan's and Chaozu's training from any sort of backstory? I'd love to know what factors made them the con-artists and mercinaries they came to be in the series and Tsuru-Senin and Tao Pai Pai shaped them this way through their training. I'd also like a deeper look at what qualities had in their back story which made them so redeemable by the end of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai. Was there always a side to Tenshinan and Chaozu that made them dispise the teachings of the Tsuru martial arts school? I'm just glad that Toriyama didn't give Tenshinan and Chaozu the same "emo" flashbacks that Kishimoto gives most characters in Naruto.

But a spin-off back story is pretty much the right way to go about.

Other characters that deserve spin-offs in my mind are Future/Time Patrol Trunks and Tarble.

I think they thought monkeys running around beating the shit out of each other and charging their power was more interesting. Still, I would like the see if he actually did anything after Z.

I could be a great show I think.. They can place it right after the whole Majin Buu thing or right after Cell. Like OP, they could have him go to space for kicks with Chiaotzu and Lunch. It would be too much like GT though.. Another idea I wouldn't mind would just be Tien and Lunch having some romantic moments.

-People beating the shit out of each other.

OR

-Yamcha getting laid

Tough choice, tough choice.

Not with Hirotaka Suzuoki dead, it's not a good idea.

#16's VA did an okay job in Kai, but mostly because Tenshinhan is almost a nonentity in it.

Aw shit, I meant the kind of training they did in the mountains after they left Tsuru-sennin, which I can't imagine would be that exciting. Sorry I didn't clarify. But I'm all for backstory that details their training under Tsuru-sennin and Tao Pai Pai, etc.

Yeah a Tenshinhan Spin-off would be a good Idea. But do you know what would be even better? A Ginyu Force or Saiyaman Spin-off.

How old are you? Not a bad idea but I'd put that idea forward to Saikyo Jump management with the younger age group they terget. I don't say this to insult your taste but I reckon they are characters designed for younger audiences (if you were to base a whole series of them).

I'm pretty sure that was a joke.

But if you already knew that then my apologies
