Glorious What Ifs!! Match Ups You Wish Had Happened

Post by djkalteraphine » Sun Jun 09, 2013 10:03 pm

As the thread title suggests, what are some fights that never happen in the manga, anime, and movies that you'd have liked to have seen go down? And why?

For me, it's Vegeta vs Piccolo. All their interactions are really curt and full of tension. It would have been nice to see them actually throw down, fight it out, and develop a level of respect between each other. (Or it would have been really satisfying if Piccolo had punched Vegeta in the jaw, like, one time.)

SSJ4 Vegeta vs SSJ4 Goku. I know Vegeta would lose but I always wanted to see that final match. SSJ3 Vegeta vs SSJ3 Goku at the 28th Budokai would have also been awesome and probably would be my preferred match.
EDIT: Oh yeah! Cell vs Broly is another one. I wanna see Cell put Broly in his place.

Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Cooler vs Future Trunks (pre-ROSAT of course)

Piccolo vs Vegeta (pre Mecha Arc)

Cell vs Broly (just to see Cell demolish him)

Krillin vs Tien (end of Z)

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Seconding Piccolo vs. Vegeta. Super Vegeta vs. Post-ROSAT Piccolo would be cool.

There was a cool video posted here of Kamiccolo vs. Freeza that I fully endorse (though Namek Kamiccolo would probably be on the level of like...initial SSJ Vegeta, but whatever, details). Also a proper match between Gohan and Vegeta, maybe during the seven years before Buu due to some strife that is caused would be pretty neat. The former because I love the idea of the last Namek (sort of) avenging his entire race (sorry Saiyans, but the universe is probably better off with you guys dead), and the latter because I think Gohan and Vegeta have an interesting, subtle complex relationship for various reasons, and I'd love to see Vegeta's frustrations at Goku's death come to a head with his son.

Kid Boo vs SSJ3 Gotenks or Gohan (for obvious reasons)

Kid Boo (SSJ3 Goku absorbed) vs Gohan (Always thought of this as an alternate ending where Goku does call in Gotenks, Gohan or both.)

Tao Pai Pai vs Muten Roshi (I want to see the Crane vs Turtle rivalry between them)

SSJ3 Goku vs SSJ3 Gotenks or Ultimate Gohan (for obvious reasons)

And some that are listed above.

Vegeta vs Piccolo would have been cool. They should have been pretty close in strength around the Trunks Arc, so that would have been a good time to do it.
I would have also liked to see Kaioshin fight somebody. Maybe Babidi, so he would have a chance to show off his magic as well.
A brief Kibito vs Base Gohan fight at the budokai would have been nice too.

Couldn't agree more. I remember when I first saw DBZ, I got so pumped that Nail was going to throw down with them, only for it to get interrupted when Nail flew by to Grand Elder. Boo.

Yamcha fighting the last four Saibaman. Even if they kill him, it would have been better than being self destructed by one.
Nail vs Recoome, Nail vs Burtur and Jeice
Goku and Piccolo vs 19 and 20

Yamcha and co. vs. Red Ribbon Army
Toriyama sets it up as a quick joke but I feel like the conclusion to this arc would have been a bit more satisfying if the final battle was expanded upon.

The Super Warriors vs. Army of Coolas
The movie is called Clash!! 10,000,000,000 Powerful Warriors but they only fight one.

And I agree with Vegeta vs. Piccolo. More fights between the main cast would have been great even if it was just for training since they don't really interact any other way.

King Cold vs. King Vegeta (with swords)
BT3 off meds | The final fight

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

A real sword fight in the show would have been cool. Toriyama seems to flirt with swordplay a lot in DB, but never gives us two people throwing down with swords. Shame.
