History HoYay / DragonBall

*** After Goku and Vegeta's first fight, Krillin is poised to kill Vegeta, and Goku begs him to let Vegeta live. The original Funimation dub had him talking about compassion and mercy, but Kai shows that fighting Vegeta excited him and got his heart racing. It makes it sound like the fighter in Goku basically fell in love at first fight.

** We all know 18 is into Krillin too, so maybe Krillin is just an android/cyborg magnet.

*** All of Super episode 100 is [[{{Pun}} MAXIMUM]] LesYay for Caulifla and Kale. First of all, just as Kale is about to be taken out of the tournament, Caulifla swoops in and saves her -- not unlike how Krillin saved Eighteen in the episode before. Then after beating on the two people who hurt her protege, Caulifla gives Kale some encouraging words of how much she believes in her, even lifting her chin up gently, to which Kale smiles and holds her hand. And then, when Kale goes Super Saiyan Berserk, what triggers her transformation? [[spoiler: The fear that Caulifla and Goku were getting a little too close while they sparred. And she relentlessly hunts after him in order to MurderTheHypotenuse.]] But after [[spoiler: getting knocked out by Jiren]] Caulifla catches her again, and when she's discussing with Hit what their next plan is, she's casually tying Kale's hair up for her, before carrying her away to safety. Honestly, with the Pride Troopers and Ribrianne being shoutouts to Super Sentai and the Magical Girl genre, it wouldn't be far-fetched to say Kale and Caulifla are such to the Yuri genre. Especially if you take Kale's context of OneeSama to that of LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs and LightNovel/StrawberryPanic.

** Don't forget that during the Buu Saga, when Trunks and Goten were asleep, Trunks accidentally put his foot on Goten's head. Goten's response? Take his foot ''and start to lick it!!'' Trunks starts laughing.

** This doesn't BEGIN to cover Black's relationship with Zamasu. He's shown to have formed a rather long embrace with Zamasu when they first met after agreeing to pursue the same goals. The two are also shown to be perfectly in sync, covering each other and performing combined attacks not unlike a BattleCouple would. They also are shown to be living in a log cabin where the two enjoy tea and each other's company for no other reason than they want to. That's not even getting into the ecstatic glee they have on their face when they're about to fuse. Or the fact that despite how amazing stubborn the two are, they frequently listen to and agree to what the other says.

* A very rare LesYay example appears in episode 92 of ''Super'', as Caulifla refuses to join the tournament unless Kale joins as well, making it clear that the two are close. With some people questioning why someone as meek and fragile looking as [[ShrinkingViolet Kale]] would join [[JapaneseDelinquent Caulifla's]] gang, the revelation that the two are quite close makes it come off as a lover supporting and partaking in her girlfriend's interests.
** Taken even further in episode 93. Kale literally blushes at the sight of Caulifla going Super Saiyan, but when Cabba does it she looks so disinterested and even annoyed. Then when they're trying to bring out Kale's hidden power, Caulifla is clearly upset at trying to hurt Kale's feelings in order to trigger her into Super Saiyan form, and Kale becomes a ClingyJealousGirl because she's afraid that Cabba is stealing Caulifla away from her. [[spoiler: It escalates into something like MurderTheHypotenuse when she transforms into Super Saiyan Berserk and tries to kill Cabba.]] It literally took Caulifla reassuring her that she didn't like Cabba, as well as complimenting her, to calm her down... and into Caulifla's arms with them both smiling peacefully.

[[caption-width-right:311:Fusion: you'll never need a wife again!]]

** The Abridged series took this [[UpToEleven and ran with it]].

** Like with Dende farewell, ''Webvideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' took it UpToEleven in a short parody where Goku hiring Hit is akin to a man cheating on his wife with a ''prostitute''.

* While canonically their relationship is more ParentalSubstitute and child, Piccolo and Gohan have quite a number of fans of TeacherStudentRomance that like the MentorShip vibe they have. Of course, it's not that hard to imagine a PrecociousCrush on a young Gohan's side when he's singing a song literally called, "I '''love''' Mr. Piccolo" (Piccolo-san '''daisuki'''). It also helps Piccolo had a major case of the ''tsuntsun'' {{tsundere}} until all that time with Gohan mellowed him out.

*** According to ''Dragon Ball Online'', they're still together, teaching martial arts, well into their 30s.

*** In one of the DB Super endings they are still shown sleeping on one bed, they must be sleepy after they do their “Fusion Dancing” together.
* If the [[http://db.schuby.org/daizex/viewtopic.php?t=10196 published character bios]] are to be believed, Chaozu and Tenshinhan's respective favorite foods are... Tenshinhan and Chaozu. Yes folks, '''they like eating each other.'''
** No. Tenshinhan's favorite food is jiaozi, and Chiaotzu's favorite food is tenshindon. They are the foods their names are puns of, but the names are quite different enough to be obvious that they refer to the foods, not each other. It's still funny.
** Don't get started on those two! They are if anything, worse than Goten and Trunks!

* There's also the fact that most of the characters in the show are male and more importantly nearly all the fighters are male and the entire plot of the show (especially when you get to DBZ) revolves around guys with big muscles beating the crap out of each other while causing varying degrees of clothing damage.
* In addition, there is a ridiculous amount of random crotch-shots in DBZ, especially of Vegeta.
