Why don't most of the the Z-Fighters use honorifics?

[Fantastische Hure]

Why do most of the active Z-Team not use honorifics? I see this in other series, but rarely ever used in DragonBall it seems.

Goku doesn't use them.

Vegeta doesn't use them.

Even Kuririn doesn't use them (isn't he supposed to be respectful).

Gohan uses them and so does Future Trunks, but no-one else seems to. I don't hear Gohan-kun or Trunks-kun from Goku or Vegeta or Kuririn or most anyone-else for the most part.

Goku uses honorifics all the time. He pretty much calls any deity "-sama" and Kuririn actually gives Bulma and Yamcha of all people honorifics.

 

[Pocket-God]

They're saiyans, they just don't care Fantastische Hure-Sama.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Goku does call Master-Roshi grand-pa-san or something, so yeah maybe but it seems to me like Kuririn ever rarely uses them. He does say Bulma-san, though.

 

[Papasmurf]

Most of Kuririn's allies are either a friend near his age like Goku, or former enemies like Piccolo, Vegeta, or younger kids like Gohan, Trunks and Goten, so he has no real cause to use honorifics with them. He uses a more polite personal pronoun with Roshi and others he reveres, and even addresses his wife with an honorific, so he's not exactly talkin like an asshole or anything.

Isn't kun used endearingly for children or teenager (or at-least people younger than you for the most part, unless said person is already older than teenage years), especially if you know them well?

They don't necessarily need to use it. Honorifics can imply distance as well, which is why it's considered awkward to call a very close friend by -kun.

I thought it was mostly san that implied a distance between people, like saying Oji-san (how do you spell that) to an older person you don't know meaning uncle. Or san just can mean something similar to Mister.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

They may have a pure heart but they lacked of respect except Gohan, Goten and Future Trunks.

In Japan, are you considered an asshole if you don't use those ''san'' and ''sama''?

 

[Jerk Store]

From this moment forward you shall all refer to me as Negan-sama!

Vegeta uses sama on Beerus, Whis and himself. Goku says it here and there, and most of the earth fighters use honorifics frequently.

Vegeta can never surpass Beerus and Whis and will be killed if he disrespect him hence that. :1down

They're assholes

The fact that they don't use honorifics is called out a lot.

 

[DBZAOTA482]

Most of them were never formally educated.

 

[Warmmedown]

I swear they do. Doesn't Vegeta call himself sama? And I thought Krillin says Bulma-san? And I've definitely heard "Muten Roshi-sama". But they're also all really close with each other and I think it often gets dropped with close friends, based on what I've read online and seen in manga/jdrama.
As for talking to Gohan and Trunks - if I remember correctly, in manga parents don't usually use -chan or -kun with their kids and the same goes for in jdrama (not seen many, but watch GTO - lots of convos between parents and their non-adult kids and I don't think they say -kun or -chan. Same in Nobuta Wo Produce).

 

[Son Gokū]

I just don't see much of a point. We got names, so let's just use them.
Always preferred the universal language (English) the best.
