Artists and writers do not have to create a complex "alternate universe" scenario to justify Roshi's sexual agency; the narrative framework is already provided by Toriyama. The content often depicts Roshi "succeeding" in his canonically thwarted attempts at voyeurism or seduction, resolving the narrative tension of the original work through explicit means.

It feeds on narrative hooks, character traits, and the subversion of taboos.
