I have been reading a lot of fanfiction and noticed they all nearly use the
Saiyan bond, bite marks, and telepathic connection for mates. However I cannot
seem to find the source of the information for this.

Is there any reliable info about this?

What is the source of the Dragon Ball Saiyan bond folklore?


According to [a writing about Bulma/Vegeta fandom by
adimra](http://www.adimra.100megs6.com/bvfaq.html), all of this concepts were
born from fandoms and applied to their fanfictions.

Regarding the Saiyan bond and telepathic connection,

> **Is there really a bond? Where did it come from?**

> The bond has become a staple in B/V (ed: Bulma/Vegeta) fanfiction and many

Regarding bite mark,

> Over the years though, the bite mark has come to symbolize a number of

In conclusion, I believe this is just fans' speculation based from shown
evidences on the series.
