Dragon Ball Z is both anime and manga. The anime was adapted from the manga and they share the same story and characters, but presented in different mediums.
Yes, they are. In the novels, there are often more detailed descriptions of the characters' thoughts and feelings. For instance, when Gohan is in a tough battle, we might get a more in - depth look at his fears and determination in the novels compared to the anime.
The 'Dragon Ball Z Graphic Novel' and the anime have both similarities and differences. In terms of story, they are mostly the same, but the graphic novel may present the story in a more compact form. The anime is all about the action and movement, with great voice acting and music that enhance the mood. However, the graphic novel can offer a different kind of visual experience. The art in the graphic novel might be more detailed in some aspects as the artist has more control over each frame. Also, the graphic novel can be a great way to catch up on the story if you don't have time to watch all the anime episodes.
One great Android 18 fanfiction is 'Android 18's New Life'. It shows her adapting to a peaceful life after the battles in Dragon Ball Z. The story focuses on her relationships with the other characters, especially her family life with Krillin and their daughter. It's really heart - warming to see her in a different light than just a fighter.
There are no such inappropriate 'Straight Shota' stories in the official Dragon Ball Z canon. Dragon Ball Z mainly focuses on epic battles, power-ups, and the adventures of Goku and his friends to protect the Earth from various villains.
One alternative is to focus on character backstories. You could write about the early days of Piccolo, how he came to be the way he is. Another option is to do crossovers with other non - sexual universes. Maybe a story where the Dragon Ball Z characters meet characters from a magical anime world and they have to work together to solve a problem. Also, you can write about the relationships between the characters in a platonic way, like the deepening of the friendship between Gohan and Krillin.
