What if Freeza was sent to Earth as a baby and hit his head?

He really overpowered and if he actually trained with roshi and the others. Frieza would be Beerus Level by the time of saiyan saga.

Freeza's too evil to become good with a simple head injury.
Here's what happens: He charms his way into a rich family then secretly murders them all after they give him a small loan of a million dollars. Then he runs for King of Earth (which I think is a democratically elected position) and preaches the politics of fear against anthropomorphic animals and other such minorities, while promising to "Make Dragon World Great Again!"

What-If Gt worlds, movies characters, and non-canon anime characters existed in super now? Would goku actually search for these guys for the multi-universal tournament? Or be lazy and use only the people he knows on earth?

It depends, does Goku know about all of these powerful fighters? And even if he did know about them I seriously doubt he would recruit villains.

What if Dragon Ball Z ended with a match with Pan and Bra fighting each other with homages to the most iconic fights in the series, and Goku and Vegeta passing the torch to them, and then that gets followed up by an anime focusing on them?
Caulifla best girl! :)

I think that would have been a good ending. Honestly would have loved to see goku and vegeta get old. Be part their primes and fight each other one last time.

More Hyperbolic Time Chamber What-If
What if Tien joined Goku when he trained to defeat Cell in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
also what if Piccolo and Tien took the last couple days left in the chamber and trained? Would they be anymore help against Cell?

Tien would become more powerful. Maybe 10% final form Frieza. And piccolo and tien would be a little bit more useful. Especially during the beam clash. Tien might be able to get cell of guard with his tri-beam

What if Toppo was the fifth hero of U7 during the tournament? How would that have turned out for the arc?

What if Vegeta decided to head back to Earth instead going to Namek?

Well, without his tail Vegeta can't become Oozaru, but he became stronger due recovering his injuries and I don't know if Goku also became stronger after recovering from the battle, my bet is that Vegeta would lose again but would be another hard match.

He'd arrive long before Goku received his senzu bean, and with both Kuririn and Gohan in space, the Earth's only line of defense would be Yajirobe.

...

So with that in mind Vegeta can basically do whatever he wants. But with his current character progression in mind, would he really be satisfied just blowing a helpless Kakarot into smithereens from his hospital bed? Hard to decide, Vegeta certainly wasn't very honorable, but it's also true that he might want to settle the score with Goku.

I actually believe it would take Vegeta too long to get to Earth, Goku would be ready for him when he got there.

If Goku and Vegeta fight on Earth again, Gohan and Kuririn would be dead on Namek. It is possible that Vegeta and Goku would go to Namek together since Vegeta would need Goku's help to defeat Freeza. Goku may have gone SSj seeing his son and his best friend dead.

So after the battle ended, it took 10 days for Bulma to repair the spaceship, right? And I guess a day in between Vegeta leaving and finding the spaceship? When did Vegeta arrive on Freeza Planet 79 (I can't fucking believe I know which number planet he landed on off the top of my head. I feel like a horrible nerd)? We need to figure out the distance and how much time it would take to deduce the outcome of this scenario.

It took Vegeta about a day to heal and reach Namek I believe, I thought it said the trip was 18 days from Earth. Either way Goku recoved in a little over 30 days I belive.

What if Yajirobe wasn't a lazy bitch?

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
