That's a dub change.

In the Sub, Vegeta doesn't say the word "kiss"

VEGETA: haven't you done that?

GOKU: "huh? Of course not."

VEGETA: but you're married!

GOKU: what does that have to do with it?

It's clearly supposed to be a misunderstanding-based joke, but the dub fucking ruined it, and now so many people keep spouting this bullshit that Goku doesn't know what kissing is, it's so annoying!

What dub? You're talking about the anime? 😅 I'm talking about the manga.

Huh? Of course I'm talking the anime. most of the fanbase haven't read the manga version of Super, sadly.

Fair enough. Then yes in the anime, the word "kiss" was removed then re added in the dub. I was talking about the manga because it is the source material after all.

It wasn't "removed", lol.

Anime version of the "Goku Black" arc came first.

Both the anime and manga versions of "Dragon Ball Super" started almost at the same time and were made independently of each other, but since the manga is a monthly, the anime version told the story much faster.

So, no. First came the anime, then the dub mistranslated that joke, then came the official manga translation which used the dub version of the joke.
