"Kahn, I went through a lot of trouble to arrange this meeting for you today. The girl is not only pretty but also has a good personality. You need to make the most of this opportunity."
Dragon Ball 761, September.
In a mid-to-high-end restaurant in West City, Chichi, wearing light makeup and dressed in formal attire, spoke earnestly.
Next to her, Kahn sat upright in a suit and tie. After adjusting his collar, he replied seriously, "Let's see how it goes when she gets here. If she's not interested, there's not much I can do."
This was Kahn's fifth blind date in the past month. The previous four had failed for various reasons.
"Who knew going on a blind date would be so tough in the Dragon Ball world?" Kahn thought to himself, sighing.
Kahn, a Saiyan, was twenty-five years old and Son Goku's older brother. At the same time, he was also one of the many who had traveled through time.
Twenty-five years ago, Kahn was reborn into the Dragon Ball universe, becoming the second son of Bardock and Gine, born a year before Son Goku. When Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, Bardock sent both Kahn and Goku to Earth.
Though Kahn trained hard over the years, his power level remained weaker than Goku's. While Goku was also a low-level fighter, his protagonist's aura ensured that he could achieve things beyond Kahn's reach.
As for why Kahn was now sitting at a blind date, that was a story that started a little over a month ago.
About thirty-five days ago, Kahn finally unlocked the golden finger he had been waiting for all his life. However, the condition for activating the system was marriage. With no girlfriend in sight, Kahn, knowing that Raditz would arrive on Earth in about a month, feared he and Goku would not survive without the system's boost in power. Thus, Kahn turned to blind dating in a desperate bid to get married quickly.
Some might wonder why Kahn didn't pursue Bulma, but the truth was, it wasn't so simple. He had been close to Bulma in the past, but due to various reasons, they had grown apart. After they first found the Dragon Balls, Bulma had returned home to focus on her scientific research, while Kahn became absorbed in his training. As a result, they didn't see each other for years, and their relationship naturally ended.
Though both Kahn and Bulma still cared for each other, their breakup had been amicable. Kahn had thought about getting back together with her, but after nearly two years apart, it felt too abrupt to rekindle their relationship, let alone ask her to marry him. Besides, Kahn wasn't sure how Bulma felt now.
So, he decided to try blind dating first. If it didn't work out, he would consider reaching out to Bulma again.
As for Chichi? While she was undoubtedly a good wife and mother, Kahn wasn't about to steal his brother's fiancée.
"You're so stubborn! Can't you ease up on your demands?" Chichi sighed, exasperated.
In truth, the women from Kahn's previous blind dates had been quite satisfied with him. Handsome and strong, Kahn exuded masculinity and a sense of security. However, there was one demand they all found impossible to accept—Kahn wanted to get married within a month of meeting. Most of the women wanted several months, if not six, to get to know him before even considering marriage. This was why Kahn's first four blind dates had failed.
"No!" Kahn shook his head firmly. If he couldn't activate the system by marrying before Raditz's arrival, there would be no point in dating at all.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the tallest building in West City, a stunning figure stood tall and elegant. The woman was slender, her delicate oval face seemingly crafted by a divine hand. Her cold, piercing eyes and proud posture were accentuated by a form-fitting uniform, while her silver-white ponytail fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of grace and strength to her appearance.
Beside her, the Grand Priest stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the bustling city below. In a calm tone, he asked, "Vados, are you certain about this? If you get hurt later, don't come crying to me."
"Yes, Lord Grand Priest. I have made my decision." Vados blinked her violet eyes, her voice steady and resolute.
Why was Vados, the Angel of Universe 6, here on Earth? It all began with a precognitive dream she had not long ago.
In the dream, Vados saw herself with her true love. They walked hand in hand down the aisle, deeply in love, and lived a blissful life together.
Intrigued by the dream, Vados began researching love, even interviewing humans from Universe 6 to learn about their romantic experiences. She did her homework thoroughly.
But a few days ago, in another dream, Vados saw her beloved pass away, leaving her heartbroken. She awoke in tears, her heart aching. It was in that moment Vados realized she could not afford to lose this love.
Determined, Vados used her Angel staff to locate the man from her dreams. That man was Kahn.
After finding Kahn's location, Vados approached the Grand Priest to seek permission. Initially, the Grand Priest objected, reminding her of her duties as the Angel of Universe 6. Moreover, in all of history, no Angel had ever fallen in love with a mortal.
But Vados, stubborn as ever, declared that if he didn't allow her to pursue her true love, she would violate the Angel Code of Absolute Neutrality and disappear. Not wanting to lose an Angel, the Grand Priest reluctantly agreed, arranging for a dormant Angel to temporarily take Vados' place.
And now, Vados was on her way to meet Kahn, the man destined to be her true love.
