Another theme is friendship. Since both Naruto and Dragon Ball Z have strong themes of friendship, when they cross over, the fanfics often explore how Naruto and Bulma can become friends. They come from different worlds but end up having to rely on each other, which is a great way to show the power of friendship across universes. In some fanfics, they also make new friends together from both universes.
Well, I've read a fanfic that involves time - travel, where Naruto travels to the Dragon Ball Z universe and meets Bulma when she was younger. They end up going on adventures together, with Naruto teaching her some ninja skills and Bulma showing him the wonders of her advanced technology. It's a great read for fans of both series.
The plot might involve a villain who has the ability to steal both ki and chakra. This forces Goku and Naruto to team up. Goku, with his Super Saiyan forms, provides brute strength, while Naruto, with his various jutsu like Rasengan and his Sage Mode, offers strategic combat skills. They would have to combine their powers in unique ways to defeat this new threat.
It could also be a fanfic centered around their friendship. Android 18 might initially be cold towards Bulma, but as time goes on, they start to bond. Bulma could introduce Android 18 to the joys of normal life, like shopping or going to the beach. And Android 18 could protect Bulma from threats that her scientific work sometimes attracts. In the end, they become inseparable friends, changing the way the other characters view Android 18.
Well, in many Dragon Ball Z fanfics about Vegeta and Bulma, their relationship is a key aspect. Vegeta starts off as this aloof and somewhat arrogant Saiyan. Bulma, on the other hand, is used to getting her way. But as they spend more time together, they start to understand each other better. Vegeta begins to care for Bulma and their family, which is a huge change from his initial self - centered attitude. And Bulma supports Vegeta in his battles, not just as a spectator but as an important part of his life.
One possible fanfiction could be about Bulma helping Gohan with his studies. Since Bulma is super smart, she could tutor Gohan in advanced science and technology. This would not only strengthen their friendship but also give Gohan new knowledge that might come in handy during his battles. For example, understanding the principles of energy and mechanics could help him better strategize against his enemies.
Common themes in 'Dragon Ball Z Raditz x Bulma fanfic' often include the clash of their different worlds. Raditz comes from a warrior - based Saiyan culture, and Bulma from a more technologically advanced Earth culture. So there could be a theme of how they learn from each other. Also, themes of love against all odds can be present, as their relationship would be quite unorthodox in the context of the original Dragon Ball Z story.
It's hard to say who the 'best' are, but there are some well - known authors. Some fans really like those who can capture Vegeta's complex personality accurately. For example, authors who show his internal struggle between his Saiyan nature and his new life on Earth. Others might prefer authors who write really good family - centric stories about Vegeta, Bulma and Trunks.
One great 'Naruto' and 'Dragon Ball Z' fanfic is 'The Ninja and the Saiyan'. It combines the unique powers of both universes in an exciting way. The main character, who has traits from both Naruto and Goku, goes on an adventure to save both worlds from a common threat.
One idea could be a crossover where Goku and Naruto meet. Maybe they start off as rivals, each thinking their own world's way of fighting is superior. But then they face a common enemy that forces them to combine their powers. For example, a powerful demon that can absorb chakra and ki. They would have to learn from each other's techniques to defeat it.
