The All-Purpose "What-If " Thread

[Hellspawn28]

What if Universe 7 Kaioshin was the Kaioshin of Universe 10 and Gowasu was the Kaioshin of Universe 7? Would Gowasu do a better job on stopping Babidi and Dabra?

Nah, chances are that Gowasu would potentially do an even worse job than Shin.

Another Future Trunks Saga "What if" scenario. What if Trunks and Gohan trained with Vados?

We would get too extra Super Saiyan Blue's which would be a great help in the future.

What if starting from it's debut during the Majin Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z, the movies, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super, the Super Saiyan 3 transformation didn't drain much power as in canon?

Goku would have more time on Earth. Would this make a difference to the plot? IIRC he was supposed to have 24 hours but ultimately left before nightfall. Did the entire Boo arc happen in one day? I don't remember any night time scenes. Or was Piccolo training the kids while Fat Boo rampaged for a couple days?

In the case of the former, Goku would be around for Gotenks' battle with Boo. On the surface this sounds good, maybe he can help, but it means Elder Kai wouldn't restore his life. So after the Boo arc concludes, whether Goku is the one who saves the day or not, he would have to leave forever.

And with no Super Saiyan God... Beerus takes out the solar system.

Although depending on exactly how things go down, it's possible that under these circumstances, Fat Boo wouldn't be around either. So Beerus can gorge on pudding and then slumber...

Vegeta either asks Whis for training anyway, or Freeza wipes them out next year...

If the Boo arc DIDN'T take place over one day, then everything would go the same way. Goku would just arrive with Gohan and the Kais later.

Goku fights Buu as a Super Saiyan 3, this time it's easier for him. besides that not much changes in the end.

The Gotenks fight takes place the day after Goku went back to Earth, he'd probably have to leave right before the fight actually happens.

Goku lost most of his time on Earth from using SSJ3, he had less than an hour left after he used it. When he goes back to the lookout Uranai Baba tells him he only has 30 minutes left. He probably only spent 4 or 5 hours in the living world all things considered.

Gotenks' fusion would last much longer. Normally when he uses SSJ3 the time is cut to 5 minutes, but now he'd be able to sustain it for the full 30 minutes. If that's the case then Buutenks would be far more of a threat, and once he absorbs Gohan he would have the power of both Gotenks and Gohan. Even Super Vegetto would have to put some effort into beating him.

What if characters who don't normally do anything during the Buu ark all of a sudden gained a significant power boost, such as
Krillin=cell games Goku
Tien=70%cell games Goku(Neo Tri beam/ki ko ho more than equals things out anyway ).
Videl=65% cell games Goku
Chioutzu=35% cell games Goku.
Yamcha only =30% cell games Goku because he's Yamcha.
Piccolo=evil Buu but still gets hit by Dabura's spit.

Kuririn: Would probably beat Dabura
Tenshinhan: Still gets raped by Buutenks.
Videl: Beats Spopovich and that's it.
Chaozu: Makes no difference.
Yamcha: Makes no difference.
Piccolo: Effortlessly kills Buu by himself.

1) What if Vegito from the Future Trunks Saga had stayed fused for the whole hour? And was summoned again by the merger of Goku and Vegeta to deal with the Universe Survival Saga?

2) What if Goku, Trunks, and Goten had achieved Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan God just the day before that they had first met both God of Destruction Beerus and Whis in the Battle of Gods Saga?

kid Buu gets destroyed by ssj3 Goku.

1) How badly does the "Most Feared Majin" get destroyed by Super Saiyan 3 Goku in this scenario?

2) Would this same energy efficient version of the Super Saiyan 3 transformation allow Little Goku (GT) to stand a better chance against the Tuffle Super Saiyan form of the wicked Baby Vegeta too?

1) What if in Age 778 in the Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks Television Special Timeline, Future Gohan and the young preteen Future Trunks had met with Future Whis and were trained by him?

2) What if instead of following their destructive impulses set by their creator, Future Android 17, Future Android 18, and Future Imperfect Cell openly rebelled against their programming and befriended the Future Z Fighters? With the three even going so far as to not go after the Future Goku, if they had helped in the journey to Future Namek to revive him, and then trained with him?

3) Would Future Gohan or even Goku Black himself have just stood there if either of them had been present during Spopovitch's torture of Videl in the latter two's match of the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament? If not, what would either of them have done to save Videl from the crazed Spopovitch?

[TheGreatSaiyaman]

What if Gohan fought against Vegeta in the finals at the 25th WMAT?

[TheUltimateNinja]

What if Gohan fought against Vegeta in the finals at the 25th WMAT?

He'd get destroyed.

[MasenkoHA]

What if Goku stayed dead at the end of the Cell saga and Gohan took over as the lead?

What if 19 and 20 were the real Androids?


What if 4Kids actually dubbed Dragon Ball Z Kai rather than just air a heavily censored Funi dub on their own programming block?

What if #18 didn't throw the match to Mr. Satan in the 25th world martial arts tournament?

[Ki Breaker]

What if goku becomes the new Zeno with all his multiverse busting power

[Noah]

What-if Gohan and Future Trunks trained in the new improved RoSaT and were to go along with Goku and Vegeta to battle against Black and Zamasu in the future?

[miguelnuva1]

What if Yamacha said he was the one that defeated Cell instead of Hercule?
