There’s nothing like making OCs and writing fanfics that make you want to deep dive into the lore of a fictional species. But here the actual canon lore is rather scant, as is most DB lore, in spite of Saiyans being arguably the most well-tread ground in the series. Some things are awfully surprising that there isn’t a canon for them, or how long it took for there to be one. Going forward without Toriyama around anymore, I’m not sure how any future additions to “canon” will feel or count. RIP ever knowing things like who Vegeta’s mom was or how U7 Saiyans fled Sadala.

On this page I’m highlighting certain canon things and the headcanons they’ve led to for me, personally. I'm going to be formatting this in a way where things are (hopefully) logically grouped together. I'll list the canon tidbits which inspired these thoughts and the headcanons that sprung from them.

As is the nature of headcanons, these are my own thoughts, conclusions, and opinions, and a lot of them are colored by feelings, interests, and other leanings that are specific to me. I don't expect anyone to "agree" with any of these conclusions, this is all just for the fun of exploring fiction and worldbuilding (and a non-zero amount of self-discovery).
