pregnant? That is too far!
I generally dislike pairings with age differences and with the same sex because noone of the heroes are really shown homosexual, you know?
But I would accept Chao-zu and Zarbon since they are gay in a way.
They even portrait Chao-zu as a home-wife in the anime where he cooks food for everyone. His explenation is that he cooks for Tenshinhan when he is training. Like an old-fashioned wife.

Reminds me of the various Goku Mpreg on DeviantArt and Y!Gallery, often when Vegeta is the father.
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEPY!

I don't really mind most fan pairings, I'm certainly guilty of enjoying a good share of non-canon pairings for other series; Dragonball is one of the few series where I don't really wander away from canon too much off into yaoi land ^_- I guess I could say I'm a bit annoyed by GokuuxVegeta, since it seems pretty out of character for both of them. Most other pairings I find more amusing than irritating (and I mostly only stick to reading pairings that I already enjoy, anyway).
Some non-canon pairings that I find intriguing include TenshinhanxYamcha (I've been watching the 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai episodes recently....holy crap, that was some hot rivalry/sexual tension ^_^), and one-sided NappaxVegeta (like, Nappa is in love with Vegeta but knows he can never have him....soooo out of character, but watching Season 1 made me think of it as a possibility ^_^)

It's actually quite a common thing in fanfiction, especially written by teenage fangirls. (Big suprise there!)
Worst pairing I've ever seen? Pan and Mr. Satan. I kid you not. ><
I'm not a big user of internet memes, but that was a case where I wanted to yell, "KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
Jerseymilk: "Can I tell you something?"
B-kun: "What?"
Jerseymilk: "I see Fangirls."

All these fetishes...

This reminds me of that Mr. Satan gets a powerful artifact and goes insane fanfic that appeared at the end of a dream that had its own otherwise independent plot (though it was db related, hence seeing a fanfic at the end). There was a scene near the beginning where Kuririn and Tenshinhan were coming up out of a barrel of cream or something... and it was supposed to suggest Yaoi-ness, but it turned out they were looking for something that KameSen'nin had dropped.
And, yeah, I'm seeing the term Sexual Tension thrown around in ways that prove to me that I don't know what it is. Though I probably shouldn't ask since I'd probably start seeing it everywhere.

I just remember one pairing that I really hate. Goku/Trunks, come on just because one kid from the future respects him, does that mean that they have to be together?
[quote="SSj Kaboom talking about Future Gohan in BT3"]I feel sorry for Future Gohan.

I'll admit that Mirai Trunks and Mirai 18, within the normal universe, is definately out there. But with the proper twisting it's more easily made believable than some others. I'd believe a Trunks/18 pairing before a Trunks/Goten one, for example.
Sorry, that was years ago at FF.net. They'd have removed it by now ever since they put in that stupid "no NC-17" rule.
And I must admit, that last bit really threw me for a loop. You'd buy Mirai Trunks and Mirai 18 before "normal" Trunks and Goten? Well, obviously, I completely disagree with THAT sentiment

but I really am interested in hearing why you feel that way.

I think that GokuxVegeta tops the list of anime pairings I hate with the heat of 1,000 suns, followed closely by AsukaxRei and EdxAl/Roy/Envy/Anybody else who's not Winry

. I only will read gay stuff if it's intended to be funny and the author's intent is "These characters would never do this, so let's see what happens in the situation."
Also, for TrunksxPan, there's a 14 year difference. I know that happens, but it still strikes me as all kinds of weird.

PiccoloxPrincess Snake: Not the grossest, but it simply does not make sense. Besides, Piccolo is neither male or female.
ChichixPan: No comment.

I never would have made that connection... I came to hate that scene in the anime. ><; No wifey stereotypes plz. XD Plus, I always imagine Tenshinhan doing all the cooking, sewing, etc.
..And just because Chi Chi x Pan was brought up... what do you all think of Bulma x Chi Chi?

Agreed. Admiration does not have to equal romantic love. Sometimes, I think society places way too much importance on sexual love, as being the only legit form of love.
I tend to like platonic relationships best. ^^

You know I wouldn't be suprised if it was up on AFF.net now though....okay why am I even speculating on this?

Gohan/Lime: Ok, seriously, if you don't like Videl that's fine. But... LIME!? You could at least pick someone who's in the manga people. >>
I don't really agree about your opinion. I used when I was younger to write a little fic about these pairing...a kind of puppy love if we can say! My fanfic take place just after the Cell Games and anyway...It was juste...cute and stupid at the same time lol!
Like most of people, I cannot stand homosexual relationships...But the weirdest pairing I have ever seen is Master Roshi/Goku....Oh Come on...T_T Imagination have limits sometimes...

I feel there are no further romantic relationships between currently existing characters to pursue.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

I have to agree with Thanos6... Trunks and Goten actually have a great relationship and are practically glued at the hip up until GT! Mirai Trunks killed 18! Trunks/Goten is way more likely. Goten has girlfriends but they always dump him, and Trunks is there to pick up the pieces XD.
This AMV is how I think of the Trunks/Goten pairing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_xyVg42v6g
Oh yeah and this is the Super Z Series:
http://members.aol.com/juuhachigouda/dbszfic.html
It's pretty much what spawned the Mirai Trunks/Mirai 18 pairing...
kinoko wrote:..And just because Chi Chi x Pan was brought up... what do you all think of Bulma x Chi Chi?
I'm okay with Bulma x ChiChi... *cough* I actually attempted writing a Mirai ChiChi/Mirai Bulma once. But the only real non- Goku/Chichi romance that I REALLY enjoy is....
Piccolo/ChiChi
OK before you all yell "He's asexual!!", there are other ways to do *things* you know! And the stories were extremely well written.

Hmm, Jersey's probably right, it's probably been moved to AFF.net. What's the name of it? >>
Anyway, it boils down to the way their existing 'relationships' feel. Trunks and Goten comes off as 100% platonic best friends, nothing will ever happen there, ever, without a lot of AU personality shifting. Meanwhile, they say there's a fine line between love and hate. I see it as taking a lot less shifting for something to come up between Trunks and 18.

Yes. A thousand times yes. Thank you for that

! Also observe the cover of the new DVD singles release:

Oh, one other pairing that I really don't like is Mirai Gohan/Mirai Bulma.

Awesome new cover-art, I just jumped in my seat at that beauty. *_*
Yamcha's Scott Hall/Razor Ramone haircut in the last of DBZ and his GT cameos has always irked me. No doubt one of the worse hair style of the series, did Meri catch this?
Thanos' theory has just been kicked up a whole new level.

It's just creepy, for crying out pete. I mean, Trunks has at least a good ten years on Pan, who is supposed to be, like, 12 or something in GT. Ugh.
Just so you know, Toriyama supposedly is in favor of a "Trunks / daughter of Tenshinhan and Lunchi" pairing.
