Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Can't think of any other reason as to why Chiaotzu STILL lives with Tien instead of living his own life eventhough he's in 40s I believe.

No, i don't think there's really anything there to show that in any way, neither in the manga or anime.
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)

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Not really, if anything I'd say them still hanging around is a case of eternal status quo.
Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
No, everything we've seen points to them just being best friends/having a brother relationship.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
I think it's more like a brotherly bond. Also, for all we know, Chaozu can't take care of himself and needs Tenshinhan.
Looking for these rare items/information:
Any information or recordings pertaining to Dragon Ball Z's syndicated run on WAWB

No.
As posts apparently require a minimum of 10 characters, however, I need to write this sentence as well.

No, they are not. They just are heterosexual life partners.

Those boys just have a good, old-fashioned bromance going on. Props to them for making it work that long.

Lunch had a crush on Tien but I don't remember Tien showing any romantic feelings towards Lunch. Either way, Lunch got removed from the series so her and Tien are not together.
Who?

As mentioned above Chiaotzu has Ran Ran, a doll.
Poor Chiaotzu.

That would be strange. They're just close friends.

Chaozu is like Pikachu to what Pikachu means to Satoshi. A friend, a pet, a mascot you can trust to be by your side. However, romanticism between the two? That's some freaky shit.
Chaozu and Tenshinhan are friends.

Tien is a monk (who are suppose to be asexual depending on the religion), but he way he completely disregards Launch yet is overly concerned with Chiaotzu does make it plausible that he's gay.

You know, the contrarians who think DB should be a Slice-of-Life series, the folks who worship Pre-Raditz Dragonball uncritically, the folks who downplay and often flat-out deny that Dragonball is an action series, the folks who try to push that false argument that none of the serious moments in the series were mean't to be taken seriously, etc.
Dragonball doesn't have a single tone. It has both silly and serious moments, both humor and drama, just like real life. The idea that a work of fiction should be only all-comedy or all-serious is unnatural and frankly, retarded.

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
If anything Tenshinhan's probably asexual but either way, their love for each other definitely comes off as brotherly and not romantic. It just so happens that they have better chemistry than pretty much every other DB couple but that's not surprising given that Toriyama has straight-up said that he doesn't like writing loves stories.
