Have you ever had a crush on a DB character as a kid?

I know this question seems ridiculous and weird, but i want to know if i'm not the only person here that had a crush on a fictional character. Oh and by the way I had a crush on 18, Videl, and Pan :lol:

Substitute Pan for Bra or Bulma and you've pretty much hit the nail on the head for me...

My brother used to crush on Mai and Young Adult Chi-Chi

Bulma, Bulma, Bulma, Mai, Snow, Colonel Violet, Fairy, Maron, Mrs. Brief, Launch, that giant fan girl, Princess Snake (NC), Princess Snake's servants, Mermaid, Zangya, Miss Hamilton, Videl.

These are all the ones I thought were cute, I think Toriyama's artstyle is good for it.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

When I was a wee lad, I had a thing for the GT incarnation of Pan. In my defense, I was under the impression that she was 14 thanks to the dub, and I myself was anywhere from 13 to 16 during that period. I still like her as a character and think she's got a cute design, but it's not a 'crush' thing anymore. Cuz that'd just be creepy.

Nowadays, the only ones I really have a 'crush' of sorts on are Videl and #18. Videl is easily my favorite girl in Dragon Ball, she's just got it all going on for her - she's cute, she's sexy, she's badass, and she's an enjoyable character. #18 it's mostly her looks I'll admit, which is why she's in second.

Oh, and I guess I kinda like Erasa, Videl's friend. But we don't really get enough of her for me to say fully one way or the other.

I always liked Videl when I was a kid, preferred her with long hair though. But then to be honest I think most girls look good in Toriyama's style. He just has a really appealing art style, that I can't seem to copy :cry:.

When I was a kid I had a crush on Android #18. I thought she was so cool compared to the other women in the story because she was a fighter and she was gorgeous. Now that I am older I am able to appreciate the character more from a design perspective.

I used to print fan art of sexy Trunks from fan websites and posted them up on my bedroom ceiling. :D

An unhealthy obsession for Trunks. That sounds familiar.... :think:

I think just about every female fan has or has had it bad for Trunks at some point in time. He was one of my girlfriend's favorites too. :lol:

I didnt really think any of Toriyama's women characters were "cute" until recently.. Recently being the last few years or so, thanks to me having a much more open mind and a few forum members here.

My first cartoon crush was Kikyo from Inuyasha. Me being a we third grader at the time, I saw the episode where she was resurrected and that was the first time I laid eyes on a naked chick.. so yeah.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

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.

Well, I was 12-13 when Young Adult Goku made his first appearance. I held a DB watching gathering with the other neighbor girls for that particular episode at my place because I heard the rumors of him actually growing up. We all squealed when he appeared. The other girls weren't even anime fans that much, but we all thought he was cute and SO FREAKING HOT. My ovaries exploded. :shifty:

Later on, I started to like Vegeta, specially during the last part of the Buu Arc.

And for those Trunks' pictures: Yes and yes. :mrgreen: I had a deal with my younger sister: She got to "keep" Trunks and Teen!Gohan, and I had Vegeta and Goku. Fair is fair.

When I was a little girl, I had the biggest crush on Adult Gohan (Buu Saga)....son of a bitch!

When I became a teenager, I had a crush on Future Trunks because of his attitude and appearance. It helps that he's a nice guy.

I don't think I've ever really had a crush on a fictional character, Dragonball or otherwise.

Of course, I have difficulty making any kind of connection even with real people if I only talk to them online and never actually meet them, so I guess it makes sense that feeling much of anything for a fictional person who I literally cannot ever meet in-person wouldn't happen.
