Dating (some of) the Z-Fighters…

Goku:

You probably met while training! Maybe you met at a tournament and put up a valiant fight against him, or you ran into him in a remote yet gorgeous training spot outdoors. Either way you hit it off immediately! If you aren’t a fighter, then you probably were set up on a blind date through Bulma lmao

You aren’t able to spend much time together, but when you’re on dates or training together you feel like you’re in heaven. He makes you feel so incredibly special: I like to think that since the Cell Saga, he’s learned that not everyone is inherently a fighter and that’s okay! He makes sure to take an interest in your interests no matter what they are 

Cooking. Lots of cooking. Or eating takeout. I’d say you can look forward to leftovers but I doubt there’ll be any lmao

Lots of laughter, whether intentional or not. Mans is a huge goofball and always tries to make you laugh, but some of his funniest moments are just him acting as his usual self hehe, he's so nonchalant when telling you stories about his past you can't help but laugh at how casually he describes getting shot and dying lmao

His love language is definitely touch! He’s very clingy so get ready for cuddles in the middle of the night after a looong training session, arms wrapped around your waist as you cook breakfast, or even just holding your hand as you walk down the street together!

I feel like he’d absolutely LOVE theme parks as a date, but he’d definitely force you to go on the biggest rollercoasters / death drop rides so be warned

Also enjoys any type of outdoorsy activity with you! Rock climbing, nature walks, even just fishing with you! Be ready to cook whatever he catches though

Despite not always being present he’s a 10/10 BF hehe

Vegeta

Cracks knuckles

You’d probably have to be the first one to make a move if you saw him at a coffee shop or a party and found him cute, even after you give him your number he waits like two weeks to text you

Once you two start dating though he switches his attitude REAL quick

He’d never admit it, but unlike Goku, he definitely prioritizes your dates and pleasing you over training. He’ll be in the middle of sparring with Goku and remember that you two have a date soon and make up a lame excuse to leave (probably claiming he’s hurt Goku enough for the time being or something along those lines) before dipping lmao

I love the headcanon that Saiyans love strong women because even if you’re not physically strong, if you’re snarky enough you and geets are gonna have LOTS of fun

Bullying is his love language.It’s constant but if you try and return it at all he’ll get all defensive and pissy 

Can talk about your inferiority all day but you make a single height joke? Nope. He’s done he’s out go apologize to him Right Now

Actual love language is quality time! He’s not great with words or PDA but will always go shopping with you or take you out to eat. And don’t you dare think about paying how could you even think to damage his ego like that

Very cuddly in private though, won’t ask for it he’ll just sit at the edge of your shared couch/bed and stare at you until you go over to him and wrap your arms around him, running a hand through his hair. 

If you’re an artist do NOT draw him/paint him/etc. unless you want his ego to increase exponentially

Krillin

I feel like If You Are A Woman, then you’re Krillin’s type. 

Absolutely the type to make you food / homemade gifts to express affection even if they’re not great. You love them all anyways! He tries to make your favorite meal one day and it tastes burnt and raw but you can’t let him know that so you eat absolutely as much as you can without puking

You probably met by both being friends with either Bulma or Chi-Chi and therefore spent a lot of time at Kame house. Definitely a friends to lovers situation

Which adds an even more stable ground to your relationship! You’ve got friendship and history that makes your relationship even better, inside jokes that date back to before you were dating

Like Goku, he’s also a huge joker. Probably even more than Goku, but definitely more purposeful with his jokes and with

One of his go-to jokes is trying on brightly colored wigs and it never fails to leave you howling

Will literally do anything you ask him to, he just wants to make you happy. You need him to drive you somewhere? Hes on his way. You need cuddles? Always. You need to vent? Hes all ears.

pleasepleasePLEASE dont take advantage of this trait

Piccolo

HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT…. Even though Piccolo is akin to plants in that he’s green and only requires water to survive, there are certain types of plants that do reproduce sexually! 

Piccolo absolutely values intellect and morality over looks but hes a tough nut to crack so you’d better be in it for the long haul

Lots of your dates are just sitting under trees together meditating, reading or sitting in silence 

Piccolos love language is absolutely gift giving and hes amazing at it. He knows what you want/need before you do. You wake up one morning and think to yourself about how you could use a cute new outfit and by the end of the day there’s a new dress on your bed that looks amazing on you. He also LOVES making you breakfast in bed, or any meal really if you’re too exhausted from your day to cook.

Don’t get me wrong, he can be intimate. He’s just emotionally constipated alright ! But when he opens up you better be ready to listen bc not many get that privilege 

Absolute freak in bed 

You have to be willing to get along with Gohan. Non-negotiable. If you start dating while Gohan’s a kid, you absolutely go on dates together with Gohan tagging along like your adopted child. If he’s older, then the three of you regularly get together to catch up and maybe act as adoptive grandparents to Pan!

Fun Dragon Ball headcanons

Goku and Vegeta are experienced with video games because of their sons. They even sometimes play them together. Goku's favorite is Sonic the Hedgehog and Vegeta's Mortal Kombat. Vegeta is usually the victor in their matches.

Bulma makes up to Vegeta by letting him give Bulla a middle name. He picks Eschalot of course. He chooses this name after a famous Saiyan princess. Princess Eschalot was known as the ideal Saiyan princess: strong, intelligent, brave, beautiful, and a fierce warrior. She refused to marry and decreed that she only would if the suitor beat her in combat. Not only did she defeat each and every one, she even killed them.

The gang sometimes go to Yamcha's baseball games. The kids even have his baseball cards.

Piccolo's favorite water is from watermelons. Dende's is coconut.

Trunks and Bulla are grossed out when they learn their mother and Uncle Yamcha used to date.

Goku sometimes stops by Tien's school to observe or participate in lessons.

Goku and Chichi planted their own apple tree in their backyard shortly after they married. It's still there all these years later.

Vegeta is very approving towards Mai as a match for Trunks, especially since finding out she was an assassin.

Goku likes to bring Chichi souvenirs from his adventures. They could be a stone from a foreign planet, a seashell from the ocean, or a flower from the mountains.

Vegeta is a secret Taylor Swift fan. He listens to her music when he's training or thinking by himself.

The children like Broly and love to play with him.

Goku can be a jealous husband in a subtle way. If he notices a man checking Chichi out or trying to flirt with her, he will hold her hand and refer to her as his wife or use endearing names towards her.

As far as the public is concerned, Vegeta's a cryptid. Everyone knows his name and recognize him as Bulma Briefs' husband, but that's about it. Nobody knows who exactly he is, where he came from, or how he and Bulma met and got together. It's even more difficult since journalists are too scared of him to approach him for an interview.

Since he can remember, Goku has had dreams where he is floating in a yellow void, surrounded by large shadows of people and muffled voices. Most of the time, he sees and hears a small and friendly woman, a large man with a deep voice, or a short child who likes to knock on glass. Goku doesn't realize until many years later that these are memories of his time in his incubator and the people he was seeing/hearing were his parents and young Raditz.

"Hungry like a Saiyan" or "eat like a Saiyan" are common metaphors among certain alien races.

Krillin stays in touch with his Buddhist roots. He visits temples, even his old temple where he was raised. He sometimes brings 18 and Marron with him.

While it's not shown, Launch does stay in touch with everyone.

Chichi speaks fluent Cantonese and Mandarin. She personally teaches Gohan and Goten from a young age. Goku has even picked up some terms here and there. When she’s angry enough, Chichi will curse in either language.

dragon ball headshots and headcanons if you squint

[jemcore]

how the dragon ball z characters would respond to “what are your pronouns?”

“he/him, thanks for asking!”

“what, do i not look like a girl?! she/her, obviously!”

“…”

“do not ask me ask such foolish questions. i am a male, obviously. the only surviving male offspring from a line of royal-blooded saiyans, true heir to the throne!”

“errmm… he?”

“i’m a dude.”

“i’m goku!”

[saikyo-rat]

There’s something about Krillin that radiates transmasc swag (and not its not because he’s short):

Like this is just the average wardrobe of a trans guy.

[chestnutisland]

Really quick sketch doodles.

[re-reclass]

Before Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero confirmed Bulma was just doing it herself, this was my headcanon about why she seemed to have gotten younger in the recent series.

[cherryrainn]

Hello! If it's alright, I would like to request some headcanons for Cooler, Cell, and Krillin (I couldn't find if you had a character limit - if so then just Cell would be fine). They get into a dangerous situation with their S/O and their S/O makes the decision to sacrifice themselves so their partner can escape. S/O tells them "I love you" before shoving them out of the way and taking the hit for them. You can choose whether S/O lives or dies, for fun. Thank you!

━━ ✧ 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬

─ ✩ 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 ; cooler + reader, cell + reader, krillin + reader

─ ✩ 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 ; of course i can do this for you! i love writing for dragon ball. not like this is important but it's been a giant comfort for me for years. thank you for your request.

─ ✩ 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 ; death, loss, violence

─ ✩ 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐆 ; none

𝘊𝘖𝘖𝘓𝘌𝘙 ♡

cooler is usually the confident and strong one in the relationship, but when you both find yourselves in a dangerous situation, he's momentarily taken aback. he quickly assesses the situation and tries to come up with a plan to get both of you out safely.

as the danger escalates, cooler's worry for you becomes more evident. he might not show it on the surface, but his eyes keep searching for you, making sure you're alright.

when you make the decision to sacrifice yourself to save him, his heart sinks. he's not used to feeling helpless, and he struggles against your decision.

"no, y/n, we'll find another way. we can both make it out of this."

you hold his face in your hands, your gaze sincere. "cooler, i love you. i want you to get out of here and be safe. don't you dare forget me, okay?"

before he can protest further, you push him out of harm's way, taking the hit meant for him. time seems to slow down as you lock eyes one last time, the intensity of your love reflected in your gaze.

cooler's heart shatters as he watches you take the hit, his roar of anguish filling the air. he fights against the force that separates you, struggling to reach you even as he's pushed away.

the aftermath is a blur of pain and anger for cooler. he's consumed by guilt, feeling like he should have been the one to protect you.

if you survive, he'll be there by your side, his usual aloof demeanor shattered as he clings to you as though you might disappear at any moment. he's seen as a conqueror, a warrior, but this vulnerability is something only you've ever brought out in him.

if you don't survive, cooler is consumed by grief. his walls shatter, revealing a raw pain that he's never allowed himself to see. he'll visit your resting place often, silently sharing his thoughts and regrets.

𝘊𝘌𝘓𝘓 ♡

cell's suave and charming exterior belies the dangerous being he truly is. his obsession with perfection and power is a driving force in his life, but his feelings for you create a unique conflict within him.

when the dangerous situation unfolds, cell's initial reaction is one of calculating analysis. he evaluates all possible outcomes, seeking the most advantageous solution.

when you announce your decision to sacrifice yourself to save him, cell's voice wavers with a mixture of disbelief and urgency. "no, y/n, i can overpower this threat myself."

you lock eyes with him, conveying your love and determination with a simple "cell, i love you. i need you to escape and make it out of here. remember me and stay strong."

before he can fully react, you shove him out of harm's way, positioning yourself to absorb the danger meant for him. he watches in disbelief as you take the hit, unable to comprehend your sacrifice.

as you fall to the ground, your breathing labored, cell roars in anger and frustration, his power surging as he fights against the force that separates you. he can't reach you in time, and the realization that he couldn't protect you tears at his very being.

emotions he's never truly understood start to swirl within him. guilt, a sense of loss, and a growing understanding of the depth of his feelings for you leave him shaken.

if you survive, cell's usually precise façade wavers. he struggles to control his emotions around you, his usual self-assuredness replaced with vulnerability.

if you don't survive, the anguish he experiences is intense. his usually composed exterior shatters, revealing a broken being grappling with a pain he never thought he'd feel.

𝘒𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘓𝘐𝘕 ♡

krillin is known for his heart of gold and unwavering loyalty. he's deeply devoted to you and treasures the love you share.

when danger looms, krillin's protective instincts kick into high gear. he's determined to shield you from harm, even if it means putting himself in danger.

when you express your intention to sacrifice yourself to save him, krillin's heart sinks. "no way, y/n, there's got to be another way. we can figure this out together," he pleads, his voice tinged with desperation.

you cup his face in your hands, your eyes locking onto his with a mixture of determination and love. "krillin, i love you. i want you to be safe, no matter what. promise me you'll live."

before he can react, you push him out of the way, absorbing the hit meant for him. he watches in horror as you crumple to the ground, the weight of the situation crashing over him.

krillin's heart races as he rushes to your side, his hands trembling as he tries to assess the damage. he's overwhelmed with a mixture of gratitude and guilt, unable to believe that you would sacrifice yourself for him.

emotions swirl within him as he holds you, feeling helpless and desperate. he wishes he could've done something to prevent your sacrifice, to protect you as you've always protected him.

if you survive, krillin clings to you as though you might disappear at any moment. he's a whirlwind of emotions—relief, gratitude, and a renewed determination to cherish every moment with you.

if you don't survive, krillin is consumed by grief. he blames himself for not being able to protect you, and he visits your resting place often, quietly sharing his thoughts and regrets.

☮ - goku and kuririn?

☮ - friendship headcanon Goku and Krillin used to lay under the stars and just randomly talk about life and philosophize about life's Big Questions and come up with goofy answers to make themselves laugh. They still do to this day.

[dragonballwish]

For the ask game– how bout ☮ for Goku and krillin? And ⁠■ for Gohan?

☮ - friendship headcanon

goku and krillin are really good at reconnecting after years of not seeing each other. krilllin probably was the one to explain the concept of "small talk" to goku, who would have no idea about that as a societal norm, and krillin would be really good at asking goku questions about what he's been up to. goku is more the type to just parrot those questions back, but i think he would also be good at listening and asking further questions when he wants to know more or if he generally doesn't understand something. krillin is patient and would explain everything to the best of his ability <3

■ -  Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon

gohan is messy and unorganized at his core, but chichi has beat (metaphorically) the concept of organization and tidiness into him to the point that its second nature to put things where they belong. as an adult, I think his living space is more akin to organized chaos. gohan knows where everything is and goes but they're all messy piles on his deskspace or filing cabinets overstuffed, and stacks of books that only don't reach the ceiling because he almost toppled them and he's unwilling to let it get damaged because of his carelessness. videl helps with some stuff but she doesn't attempt to mess with his papers and such because she doesn't want to accidentally misplace anything.

Random Tenkaichi Budokai Headcanons:

-In addition to the prize money, every winner receives their own championship belt. Tien and Goku are the only champions to not receive belts due to the tumultuous events following the 22nd and 23rd Budokais, respectively.

-Promotional photos of the champion are usually taken a few hours after the final match when the prize money is awarded. Goku is the only champion to not have promotional photos taken. Photos were taken of Tien but were never released due to Krillin's murder at the hands of Tambourine.

-The announcer's name is Ken. While he is on friendly terms with members of the Dragon Team and knows the truth about the Cell Games, he is often not invited to Capsule Corp functions because nobody can remember his name.

-While the majority of the modern Budokais have been filmed, the 24th Budokai is the first to be widely televised. Prior to this, official broadcasts were aired on syndicated television or radio. Many fans have also recorded their own footage.

-Bootleg tape trading of fan recordings of previous Budokais is a pastime among super fans who often manage to find different perspectives and angles of their favorite matches.

-While most casual Budokai fans consider Mr. Satan to be the GOAT, many diehard fans still prefer previous fighters like Goku, Jackie Chun, and Tien. There is also a growing number of younger fans who love to revisit the fights from the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Budokais.

-There is growing skepticism among super fans as to Mr. Satan's role in the Cell Games.

-There is a Budokai Network which airs the previous Tenkaichi Budokais along with original content like interviews, documentaries, pre/post shows for the new Budokais, and of course, a reality series featuring Mr. Satan. Whenever the network requests an interview or to use the likeness of any member of the Dragon Team, it must be vetted and approved by Capsule Corp's legal team.

-Yamcha sometimes appears in documentaries as a talking head due to his experience in previous Budokais and his historical knowledge of the sport.

-There is a convention that occurs the day before every Tenkaichi Budokai called Budokon. Fans can buy merchandise, trade tapes, and do meet and greets with previous competitors. Frequent guests usually include Bacterian, Giran, Ranfan, Man Wolf, Panput, Jewel, Mighty Mask, Killa, and King Chappa.

-Panput is notorious for overcharging fans for photos and autographs. Also, do not mention Goku or Mr. Satan in his presence.

-There is a Tenkaichi Budokai Hall of Fame where former champions, competitors, and other notable figures are inducted. Notable inductees include Mr. Satan, Goku, Tien, Jackie Chun, King Chappa, Krillin, Yamcha, and Namu. Goku, Jackie Chun, and Tien, did not attend their own respective ceremonies due to their whereabouts being unknown. Yamcha and Krillin are the only members of the Dragon Team to attend their own HOF inductions.

-Ranfan is the first female fighter to be inducted into the HOF, followed by Chi Chi and 18.

Doodles-

This is a little nonsense... I don't know what to call it. Headcanon? AU? What if? I don't know, none or all of above. A little crossover nonsense. What if Dragonball characters were weapons like in Soul Eater?

Goku/Kakarot would be a big ass hammer. Simple, strong, effective. Everything is a nail, just hit it.

Vegeta would be an axe. Pretty similar to Goku, but sharper and edgier.

Buu would be a prank gun. Sometimes it just fires a "BOO!" flag, other times it hits you faster and harder than you imagine. Best handled by Mr Satan.

Chichi would be a frying pan. Domestic, hard, efficient, buena para romper los huevos. Fun fact: Goku can only wield it if he's not in super Saiyan form.

Krillin would be a swiss army knife. Small, resourceful and reliable.

Others:

Beerus would be big, heavy bazooka (or maybe even a rocket launcher). Wide range destruction, difficult to handle, even if you can fire it, watch for the RECOIL. Whis seems to be the only who can lift and handle it apparently effortlessly.

Shin would be a bow/arrow. Single target, precise, requires some calmness from its wielder. Works best from a distance, not the best option for short range combat/melee.

Zamasu would be some biohazard/chemical weapon. Meant to kill human targets, leave the rest intact.

First I thought Frieza would be something poisonous too, gas grenade? But I'll leave it as a flamethrower.

I forgot what I thought for Gohan and Piccolo...

Oh well.

Feel free to discuss and/or add your own.

[yourfaviseverything]

Krillin from Dragon Ball Z is intersex!
