I feel like Vegeta’s answer covers most of what I’d usually say here. I don’t feel like this is the same for Goku, but Vegeta’s relationship with both Frieza and Zarbon in the Studio is very much based on a role-reversal of their canon dynamics. Beyond that, I thought it’d be fun to show the contrast between these two while Vegeta answers.
So for a few different reasons I’m always hesitant to say two characters are a “couple” in the Studio if they aren’t in the source material. Even ones like Nanami and Tiana or whatever I usually just present them more as fuck buddies. The one exception is the handful of characters who I feel like are presented as a couple in the source material, but just aren’t confirmed (usually because it was taboo to do canon gay couples until fairly recently). Yuji and Inosuke, being from different series, obviously don’t fit into that, and I also just don’t know if I see their dynamic as romantic. They definitely feel to me more like friends who happen to fuck, like it’s easier to picture them goofing around than being heartfelt I guess. Anyway, I figured I’d try and answer this in their own words, with a little eye candy to boot.
This is a pretty simple one, but one I thought might be fun to see. Canute’s talked before in Asks about enjoying ceding control and responsibility, and how he’s found that liberating in the Studio. I think this goes along with that, where even if Thorfinn’s a bit rough with him he won’t mind since that’s part of letting your partner take control.
So this is a bit of a follow-up to an older Ask with Azula (which is why I included her here). That Ask focused on Mai trying to not make noises, but still letting out cute sounds in spite of herself. I think the idea here was to see her pushed beyond that, so Ty Lee attacks her weak point for massive damage.
A pretty simple one here, but one I hope some of you will enjoy.
These two have really grown on me as a pair. Not much to say on this one, but I thought it’d be cute to see them again.
I combined these two Asks, since the answers I felt best fit both were the same. Oliver has a lot in common with the teen versions of Trunks and Goten, I think. Beyond the super strength and flying, these versions of Trunks and Gohan also spent some time as super heroes in the manga so I feel like they have plenty to bond over.
This is an Ask I’d considered doing for a few months now, but always went with something else first. I think Nobara and Yuko have a really cute dynamic in their limited time on screen together, so putting them back together here in the Studio seems like it could be fun.
