Will the main Characters be happy in their current lives?

Do you think Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Krillin, Yamcha, Chaoz, Androids are happy in their lives in general?

If they want they can add another character.

Everyone is happy except Goku and Vegeta. Goku because he either isn’t the strongest or because he is but is bored by it, while Vegeta is sad because he’s below Goku.

Tenshinhan is probably suicidal at this point.

Tenshinhan is probably suicidal at this point.

Why?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Most of them would be as they'd have achieved their dreams (eg. Gohan being a scholar and family man, Kuririn having married, etc.) or having come to peace with themselves and their role by the end of Z (eg. Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, etc.). The only one who wouldn't be is Tenshinhan seeing as how he can't compete with anyone relevant to the point training for his own sake has lost a lot of meaning and DBO further drives a nail into that coffin with him founding the New Crane School under what's basically "nuh-huh, we can definitely compete with Saiyans and Namekians with the Kikoho!"

If we're talking about currently in Super, Vegeta likely isn't completely happy either when he's regressed to surpassing Goku being his main motivation.

 

[Future Warrior]

Tenshinhan is probably suicidal at this point.

Why?

Cause he's the only human who stuck to his martial arts mentality throughout the entire series of trying to catch up to Goku but in the end it didn't play out for him well, all because of genetics. I don't even blame Kuririn and Yamucha for abandoning that lifestyle. That shit is just unfair.

I strongly believe Tenshinhan gave up on martial arts after the Cell Arc. He already admitted he can't keep up anymore at every turn, and Goku's death was the final nail in the coffin. Granted Goku comes back, but the gap had only gotten bigger by then.

Toriyama has said in a Q&A a few years ago that he and Chaozu became farmers, and both DBS and DBO depict him starting a school. I imagine he's just decided to settle down and pass the best of Tsuru teachings forward rather than focusing on his own strength.

Goku - Yeah. He's more or less a "happy-go-lucky" kind of character in general.
Vegeta - To some extent. While he still thought about competing with Goku by the end of Z, there didn't seem to be any negative energy about it. He also appreciated his family.
Gohan - As an adult, yes. Out of all the Z Fighters (perhaps besides Krillin and Yamcha), peaceful times are something that Gohan would benefit from the most because of his lifestyle.
Piccolo - For the most part. He had his bond with Gohan, and fusing with Kami made him more tranquil.
Tien - He doesn't appear much in the late portion of the series, but based on his interaction with Gohan (during the Buutenks fight), he seemed fine. The series makes it clear that he knows his limits (e.g. declining the offer to train in the RoSaT, and acknowledging a large gap between his power and whoever the top dog is in pretty much every saga), it's mostly a matter of Tien not really having a passion for anything that doesn't involve martial arts.
Krillin - Like Gohan, he's one of the Z Fighters that appreciates a regular life. He was never really obsessed with fighting or being the best anyway.
Yamcha - Same as Krillin, basically.
Chiaotzu - He seemed happy whenever he was with Tien, and spends most of his time with him.
Cyborgs - #17 became a Park Ranger and Super portrays him as being quite passionate about it. He also had a family of his own. As for #18, she ought to be content with Krillin and Marron.
