Learner Tien Comes Of Age On The Big Stage
Coached by fellow Southern Californian Michael Chang, the sky is the limit for Tien, who is still relatively new to the ATP Tour and very much a work in progress.
“I think he’s a very special individual,” his coach Michael Chang told ATPTour.com this week. “He thinks a lot more than most players out on the court. He’s very much a fighter that people don’t see until they get into the thick of it…

My DBZ Hot take of the day:
The DBZ Fandom really doesn’t do enough with Tien past as an a student of a martial arts assassin school.
So many unanswered questions:
Did Tien ever have to kill anyone as a student?
What happened to the other students?
What kind of non assassination related education did they get (cause Chiaotzu didn’t seem to have the most basic of math skills?)

If I wrote Dragonball What I would change: The Humans
The main 3 normal humans part of the Z fighters, and lets face it aside from Krillin, these guys get the shaft by being made irrelevant.
Krillin at least gets a hot wife and loving family. Tien, who dedicated his life to Martial arts barely gets anything and he never even gets close to super saiyan, while Yamcha…. well anyway.
This is one of my Main gripes with dragonball, if you aint a saiyan or some kind of alien you are basically SOL.
So I would change some things to make the Human’s stand out a bit more.
First thing I’d do?
[[MORE]]TEACH THEM ALL THE KAIOKEN!
Its a technique that can multiply the power of the user for a brief period of time and as we seen with Goku, the stronger you get the more of a multiplier you can use. You’re telling me the time Tien, Yamcha (and even piccolo) spent on King Kai’s planet NONE of them learned the Kaioken?
Its still one of the biggest missed opportunities for the Z fighters, Especially for Master of mastering techniques TIEN. (remember how he mastered and REFINED the Mafuba to be non lethal? Performing the Kamehameha? So many techniques) Having them learn the Spirit Bomb might have been too much so I get that, but come on.
And from there I say we can divide things up. The Kaioken becomes the Gate way for each of the Humans to improve and grow.
Now for this next part, I will be going into what each Human does in order to keep them Somewhat Relevant.
Tien: Limit breaker
Now a lot of people who are in the fandom go, “Is Tien even human?” and I will be honest with you, that is kind of vague. I couldnt find Toriyama ever explicitly stating if he wasnt or not even though the videogames are vague about it. So for the sake of the Post and with how DBZ treats him, he’s human.
But you may have noticed I gave Tien the Title of Limit breaker. Thats because Tien’s whole shtick is breaking the limitations of techniques and skills he has used, The Mafuba, The Kikoho. Tien takes techniques and refines them to a point where they are effective and DONT kill him. So thats what he would do with the Kaioken, he would find a way to master the Kaioken in a way that leave little to no drawback. I can see Tien using Kaioken times 50x or even 100x with the Kikoho? Imagine the scene with imperfect Cell with Tien using a Kaioken on top of the Kikoho? A Kaioken Kikoho!
Imagine, multiform technique, plus Kaioken, plus Kikoho.
Tien may not be able to kill a main villain, but having something like that in his pocket would be amazing.
Just giving Tien would give the fans what they want.
Next,
Yamcha: Wild side
Yamcha was always more of a man on the wild side, so I imagine Yamcha would want to dig into his more instinctual nature. He is not a technique genius like Tien, but something he could do is focus on honing his instincts, combining them with his Kaioken, I would love to see Yamcha become like that universe 2 Kakunsa. using more animal like fighting style, maybe even becoming able to morph his body to animals when using techniques. Puar is his best buddy, maybe he learned how to do some partial transformations, since its something that can be learned. Combine that with the Kaioken and you got a real wild animal, plus it just gives something unique for Yamcha to have.
Now lets go with the other bald human,
Krillin: Endless Potential
So I actually had a BUNCH of ideas for Krillin. Because Krillin is the human Z fighter that actually seen the most action and has the most experiences, so I wanted to give Krillin multiple Path ways. Originally I was just gonna have him go (way of the monk) where he becomes a true successor to Roshi, but Roshi still showed he had plenty of life and with Roshi still alive it didnt make sense for him to go that path for me, so I made some other pathways.
and want YOU the reader to vote on his path. so lets start with first one.
Krillin: the Magician
The Experience on Namek, with his potential getting Unlocked did more than just boost his power, the Unlock actually helped Krillin Realize something, Magic is something he is capable of!
Now how would he even learn magic, he is a martial artist, well Roshi happens to have a witch sister, Fortuneteller Baba would be the perfect teacher. Imagine Krillin coming back to earth after being revived (and learning from King Kai the Kaioken) he goes to train with Fortuneteller Baba. Heck maybe even learns some magic from Kami. (Im not saying he gets to make dragonballs but how cool would it be if Krillin could do some magic.)
Plus it would make his relationship with 18 even funnier as she is a cyborg with tech and he’s a magic bald man. There is some funny shenanigans there for sure.
Next idea
Krillin: CapsuleCorp Cyborg
After discovering Dr.Gero’s sublab, Krillin and Trunks found the blueprints to the cyborgs before Blowing it up. But what if this gave Krillin a realization. A way to be able to fight against the Cyborgs. Considering how fast Bulma was able to make a remote for detonating the Cyborgs, and her genius, as well as Dr.Brief’s ability to fix Android 16, it would not be surprising to have them be able to turn Krillin into a Cyborg. I would argue that maybe they couldnt do it in a day, but I think with the time Cell gave them, and a portable lab put in a Hyperbolic time chamber. They could definitively make Krillin a cyborg in a year. And Krillin is made of tougher stuff than ordinary Humans, so his survival rate would be much higher. Would he be stronger than Cell? Hard to say but a normal human made into a cyborg was able to beat a super saiyan that trained like crazy with ease. And in super, Android 17 was training and was able to keep up with Goku who was basically god level at that point. So Krillin has a good chance of at least doing something.
Plus if not during the cell Saga, him doing the process afterward so that 18 wouldnt have to outlive him would actually be kind of a sweet thing. (17 and 18 dont age btw, their cybernetics give them infinite energy) Though I would say this is the least likely, because I can also see 18 being SUPER against this as it was a painful process for her and her brother.
But this leads to my 3rd idea
Krillin: The Comeback kid
Its actually the easiest idea of the bunch, Krillin learned on Namek that Saiyan’s get stronger everytime they almost die. While being a saiyan wasnt appealing to him (he has seen how much Goku eats) but something that was interesting was that ability. The Zenkai boost, in a way, Humans had it too. Heck in dragonball super, tagoma was beaten for 4 months straight and recovered repeatedly strengthening him to the point they needed a super saiyan form just to match him.
Now a lot of ways this could work is that Maybe when elder guru unlocked Krillin’s potential, he supercharged Krillin’s recovery cells to be able to provide boosts everytime krillin recovered. It would actually explain how Krillin shot up in power after facing the Ginyu force and facing Frieza. It actually would make the most sense that Krillin ended up getting some sort of zenkai at that point.
If not, then maybe he makes a wish on Shenron for that ability. It would allow Krillin to evolve in power and keep up with foes after the brutal beatdown’s he gets. And combine that with Experience, have Krillin learn a technique to counter how he was previously beaten down, Krillin has shown to refine techniques, like the solar flare or the destructo disc
This would be the simplest Fix for Krillin. What do you all think

Tien just can’t move on from this pic, even though it’s been years.
Answer
#8. In Secrecy - Tien/Shallan
Set in an ambiguous AU where Tien lives, is a Lightweaver, and is in Urithiru.
I swear I’ve not been ignoring the asks in my inbox I’ve just been busy, mentally ill, and sick.
Shallan was sure that Captain Kaladin was going to kill her.
Kaladin isn’t going to kill you, Veil attempted to reassure Shallan.
Easy words for someone who’s not sneaking out to make out with the long-lost brother of the most prominent Radiant in Urithiru, Shallan bit back.
I would still be dead if he killed you. Not sure if you’ve noticed but we kind of share a body, Veil retorted before abruptly fading out of co-consciousness.
“Shallan!” Shallan shook herself out of her head as the tall, messy-haired mess of a boy she was courting jogged up to her.
Storms, she wanted to kiss him. She’d missed the feel of his soft lips against her own… the little sqeaks he made when she pushed him up against the wall of her quarters… the breathy, adorable way Tien murmured her name like a prayer as he tossed and turned in his sleep.
She couldn’t kiss him right now though. Kaladin didn’t like her, and that meant his men didn’t like her, and they were everywhere. Granted, there was admittedly good reason for that, she had conned him out of his boots when they first met, and she never really addressed… whatever it was that the two of them shared in the chasms. The abrupt end to her engagement with Adolin looked bad from the outside as well, and she had no doubts that Kaladin had bore the brunt of Adolin’s emotion in its wake.
Shallan looked about before subtly nodding towards a hallway. Tien either didn’t notice or didn’t care as he walked up and took Shallan’s free hand, and she sighed in an indulgent defeat. She let the two of them slowly fade into the lightwoven disguises she’d drawn up in anticipation of Tien’s eagerness jeopardizing her safety.
It was endearing, and well-worth it.
Shallan wordlessly dragged Tien down the twisting, turning hallways of Urithiru before opening a doorway and shoving the boy into some sort of utility closet, and quickly blocking off the entrance once the two of them were settled inside.
“Shallaaaan,” Tien sighed. “Do we have to keep us a secret?”
“Well, that depends. How do you feel about your brother skewering the woman you’re courting with his impeccable spear-skills?” Shallan quirked an eyebrow as Tien’s face flushed red. “Stormfather, not like that!”
Tien burst out laughing, and Shallan couldn’t help but join in, letting the lightweaving she’d placed over the two of them fade.
“That,” Tien said, “was an image I could have gone without having in my thoughts.”
“The one time I’m being serious and you, Tien Stormblessed, manage to make it about your brother having relations with me?” Shallan smiled, her freehand going to Tien’s waist and her safehand draping over his shoulder, pushing her body against his and gently shoving him into the wall of the utility closet. “The scholars will marvel at how your mind works.”
Tien smiles as the distance between their lips closes. Tien’s hands gently cup Shallan’s face as she captures his lips in her own.
Mine. Shallan can feel Radiant’s knowing smirk in her head as she deepens the kiss, eliciting a breathy gasp from the boy she has pinned against her.
I wonder, do you think Tien’s spear skills—
Shallan tunes Radiant’s uncharacteristic teasing out as she pulls away from the blushing mess she’s courting, a thin line of spit trailing between their lips as they pant for air.
“It will be a scandal,” Shallan said.
“I’m second nahn.”
“You’re a Radiant, and that’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Well I don’t care,” Tien petulantly huffed.
“You don’t care that your brother and his men will kill me?”
“Shallan,” Tien said as he pulled her into a hug. “You seem to forget one very important thing.”
“Which is..?” Shallan asked the question from where her face was now buried in Tien’s scrawny, barely muscular chest.
“Kaladin Stormblessed loves me, far more than he hates you.”
