Maybe a fanfiction where the characters from the Parallel Saga get transported to another dimension where the rules of ki and power levels are completely different. They would have to adapt and find new ways to fight and survive. This would introduce a whole new set of challenges and character developments.
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.
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.
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.
A Kryptonian in the Dragon Ball Z universe could potentially be a very powerful addition. Their natural abilities like super strength, flight, and heat vision could make them a force to be reckoned with. However, they would also face challenges as the Dragon Ball Z world has its own power scale with ki-based powers. They might have to adapt to the different fighting styles and power sources. Maybe they could learn to use ki in addition to their Kryptonian powers, or they could find a way to combine the two in unique ways.
The Dragon Ball Saga episodes 86-90 referred to the Japanese manga artist Akira Toriyama's manga work, Dragon Ball, which was also known as Dragon Ball Super. It was based on the adventures of Goku and his friends, telling the story of their battle against evil forces.
One interesting crossover could be a battle between Hulk's brute strength and Goku's Super Saiyan power. Maybe in the fanfic, they start off as rivals, with Hulk misunderstanding Goku as a threat to Earth. Their fight would be epic, with Hulk's limitless rage against Goku's increasing power levels. It could also explore how their different universes' power systems interact.
