The pairing of Android 18 Master Roshi has become a popular subject in the Dragon Ball fan community, particularly through the lens of creator ChuchoZepa
In this interpretation, the interaction usually leans into the comedic or the subversively stylish: Android 18:
"Chuchozepa" might be a phonetic bastardization of "Chu, Cho, Zepa" – a three-step martial arts technique invented by Roshi to "tame" an android. Step 1: Chu (The charming wink). Step 2: Cho (The infinite energy paralysis touch). Step 3: Zepa (The hypnotic dance). In this fan-lore, Roshi accidentally develops a technique that actually works on 18’s cybernetic brain, short-circuiting her disgust and replacing it with admiration. Krillin, naturally, is furious.
: An ancient martial arts master and the creator of the Kamehameha. In the series, his interactions with 18 are mostly comedic or used to highlight his "dirty old man" trope. Community Presence
