Least to most likely Dragon Ball character to become a streamer
FUCK this is a good question ok
goku & vegeta: would never become streamers vegeta thinks its a waste of time and also hes way too awkward/shy and goku 1) would get bored and 2) would not be able to talk to a camera for hours a day. the only way in which i can envision them ever getting on a stream would be in a world where goten and trunks have made it big on twitch and decide to host a huge charity stream with the theme: our jacked dads who tried to kill each once other play STREET FIGHTER. the setup is simple: they get vegeta and goku who have touched video games maybe like 4 times in their entire lives, let them work through the street fighter tutorial and ask their respective sons any questions that they have for like 5 minutes and then let them have at each other. they'll play three games and best of three wins. trunks and goten have a 5 dollar bet going that their respective dad is going to win and their egos are on the fucking LINE like this is IT the 15 minute dad training period is INTENSE whoever loses will be humiliated for ever and ever. idk what most of their stretch goals for charity are but the final one is We bait our dads into fighting FOR REAL which is like a bazillion dollars.so while its not going to be a long stream it WILL be one to remember so they hype it up like fucking crazy in the lead up theyre dropping lore hints about the insane history their dads have like its going to be crazy their fans are so fucking excited And so the big day comes and holy shit theyre both so bad at video games goten and trunks are desperately trying to coach their dads so they can win the five dollar bet but its not looking good. in the end because the first two games are spent more than anything trying to figure out controls trunks and goten give up and tell them just fucking button mash button mash like your life DEPENDS on it <- and then goku and vegeta both accidentally destroy the controllers in the first 2 seconds of the game and the entire chat goes CRAZY. trunks returns with spares and they decide to just wipe the slate clean and let this new game be the first of the three. and thus the true battle begins Neither goku nor vegeta have any clue what theyre doing but the speed of their button mashing is unmatched it truly is a nail biter like never seen before idk who wins in the end its probably goku and then vegeta gets mad and demands they have a REAL fight and so even though they havent met the stretch goal it doesnt really matter since their dads baited themselves into a fight i guess so they move everything to the gravity room and televise the most insane mma fight the world has ever seen. goes down in twitch history
bulma: shes been banned from social media by the capsule corporation board for years even if she wanted to the future of her streamer career is not looking bright. <- but also she doesnt really strike me as a streamer type of person like i dont think she would really like playing for an audience like that. she would absolutely get ragebaited in chat constantly
krillin: ok i dont think he would be very likely to stream i think he just plays video games casual style but one time marrons watching him play in the living room and shes like "you know dad youre pretty good. you could make money if you wanted to" which is of course 18s trigger word and she spawns right next to both of them and is like How does that work. Explain it to me. and marron tells her about twitch streaming to her mom and 18 is like krillin All of the money of twitch could be ours. <- in the end krillin never gets huge but he amasses a dedicated tight-knit fanbase so its a fun side hobby for him. maybe we can all pray that it becomes a sufficient source of money that he can quit his day job
yamcha: i think hes found a nice side job in twitch as a live baseball commentator (<- negotiated a deal to stream games through old contacts and the power of bulma). hes been off the field for years but has discovered a genuine love of the sport following his quiet retirement from fighting. since he was phenomenal during the year in which he was active, a bunch of his old fans immediately jumped at the chance to support him financially and also just hear from him again in general. hes just a very likeable and down to earth guy so his fanbase has been growing at a steady pace and his streaming future is bright
zamasu: he has desperately been trying to make it big as a political commentator streamer for YEARS but hes insane and really rude to all of his followers and even worse to everybody else somehow so hes amassed a loyal 6 yesmen who feed into his delusional ego and insane worldview. he still doesnt recognize any of their names and will continue to not do this in the future
trunks (+ goten): ok ive already gone on record for this one but we'll do it in more detail this time. obviously as children goten and trunks spend like an ungodly amount of time watching youtube together and one day trunks is like dude we HAVE to start a channel we can be youtube FAMOUS (theyre 7 and 8 years old) and goten is like Trunks-kun youre a GENIUS <- they get like an hour into a fnaf 1 lets play (split into 3 parts) with an average of 2 views each before somehow goten accidentally spills the beans to chichi and she gets so mad (internet safety, horror games) and bans them from EVER uploading anything to youtube again and bulmas like Yeah im not fighting for you guys on this one Sorry kids. so their youtube fame dreams are dashed. flash forward 8 years later trunks still really wants to get into content creation but the problem is 1) he doesnt want to be recognized by people he knows if he flops/before he succeeds and 2) he wants to get famous without being accused of being a nepo baby. and then he realizes he can be a VTUBER so he spends a good 2 months really trying to break into the scene. bulma starts getting random several hundred dollar paypal charges on her credit card and she asks trunks what the hell hes doing and he gets really embarrassed and starts dodging the question like crazy and shes like Is this porn. and the problem is the truth (vgen commissions for his twink vtuber persona) is somehow more embarrassing so he kind of just stares at her and shes like You can literally find porn online for free stop wasting my money on this shit. and walks out. he finds some more discreet avenues for acquiring streaming equipment and gets his rig set up and locks in. he flakes on goten for like a month straight because hes trying to make it big on twitch but he wont tell goten what hes doing (its embarrassing because hes flopping) and one day goten gets mad cuz thinks hes being shafted for some girl and shows up to trunks house only to catch him in middle of streaming for an audience of approximately 0 people. trunks then tries to rope goten into doing this with him (his longterm plan is to fujobait like nobody has fujobaited before) but goten is still traumatized from the first time they tried doing youtube and also its been like 3 weeks since vegeta caught them smoking weed so hes kind of still on thin ice with his mom right now so the answer is a definitive No. and trunks is like FUCKKK Are you sureeee...... with big pleading puppydog eyes because fujobaiting with goten is his last chance and goten is like Yes Im sure. and so trunks streamer dreams come to a grinding halt once again. better luck next time champ
ok shorter answers from least to most again these are all just from the heart
piccolo: he has better things to do. NEXT
17: also has better things to do. NEXT
tienshinhan: also also has better things to do. NEXT
gamma 1: also also also has better things to do. NEXT
chichi: she strikes me as someone really big on privacy and internet safety and would be absolutely AGHAST at putting your face online for something like twitch. i think if goten and gohan combined their powers though they might be able to explain to her its not the end of the world and maaaaaaaaaybe would be able to convince her to show up for a guest star episode in goten and trunks twitch streamer universe
gohan: hes way too shy to ever attempt one of his own but in goten and trunks twitch streamer universe i think he shows up as a recurring guest star
whis: the thing is i could 10000% see him becoming a food influencer but like twitch i dont think would be the way to do it. he would have a crazy huge following on tiktok and instagram though
videl: i think she'd be open to the idea but would never go out of her way to do any sort of streaming like she dgaf
satan: someone on his staff runs a twitch to livestream all of his fights for sure but for some reason i just cant really see him actively streaming himself other than like the occasional MISTER SATAN CHARITY STREAM like i think he prefers more traditional media appearances. but also he would fucking love making tiktoks so maybe its just the length idk ill have to ponder on the reasons more but i dont think he would want to run a twitch stream more than like twice a year
18: the thing about 18 is she loves money but dont think she would like gaming and streaming enough when she can just make krillin do it for her. and as much as the db shonenbros are obsessed with her i dont think she would do well on twitch in general she has like 0 charisma so i think even if she did try she would realize it was a lost cause early on and stop
dende: it might be possible to convince him to try his hand at streaming cozy games #tbh
frieza: i cant justify this in any way but like i feel like it would be possible to convince him to start a twitch. i dont know what he would play i dont know what he would do i just feel like it would be possible
beerus: whis cannot let him find out what streaming is because at first beerus would say Ugh this is such a stupid earthling thing Who even cares How ridiculous but then somehow champa would find out about it and then bait him into a fight to see who can get the most twitch followers in a month and beerus would try but hes so easily ragebaited that he becomes functionally a twitch lolcow and then he blows up the entirety of universe 7 so basically it cant happen.
ginyu force: i can easily envision a world where they have a twitch channel with three absolutely obsessed diehard fans. nobody else gaf
gamma 2: at the point where hes no longer supposed to be under nda absolutely he would try to get into streaming he tries SOOOO hard to get gamma 1 to join him and 1 is like No. and 2 is like Pleaseeeee please please pleaseeeeee and 1 is like No. i feel like he would start out with fighting games but at some point gets hooked on gachas and at that point can no longer be saved. i do think his charm and cuteness would allow him to succeed and find a moderately large fanbase
jaco: i can 100000% see him trying to start one but also i think it would go nowhere because nobody wants to see his ass #sorry #truthnuke he would get embarrassed and try to wipe it off the face of the universe but his coworkers would find out about it before he could and then make fun of him until the end of time
pilaf gang (ogdb): they start a twitch channel as a step in some elaborate insane plot to catch goku and get completely fucking sidetracked when the channel unexpectedly goes platinum and go through the influencer lifecycle in the span of like a week
radditz: dont question me on this i know it in my soul he would be a flop fps streamer. he has crazy one sided beef with cheelai because she keeps running into him on every game he plays and beating his ass but she never recognizes him
cheelai: fps streamer shes got a militant gigantic fanbase several of whom have given half their life savings to her. brought broly and lemo onto one of her streams once and they went on suicide watch. in general shes just really fucking good at these games like its ridiculous. ragebait everybody and then beat their ass is more or less her motto
