1) Super Perfect Cell, would have settled things with Gohan before and after the Tournament of Power, with their first encounter being something similar to a warm-up for the son of Goku, while the Bio-Android would have had a pretty good idea for how high he would have to push himself in order to get his sweet revenge a bit easier for him on a Gohan infinitely more powerful than himself at the moment, and after training for the first time in his life, especially in the Room of Spirit and Time, Super Perfect Cell would have closed the gap between himself and Gohan, before having reestablished his superiority over one of the ones who defeated him to the point where he would be able to take on Jiren.

2) Sorry if I offend you or anything, but by any chance, do you know any Spanish? As a rather eccentric YouTuber had almost finished a series of videos dedicated to something very similar to your question.

What if Goku went through reincarnation? What would his living person's name be?

1) What if Piccolo, Dende, Cargo, and Nail had been hybrids of the two main types of Namekians? Being completely half a member of the Dragon-Clan and also being half a member of the Warrior-Type? How would this have changed their lives? If the four of them had been born as completely healthy hybrids?

They would score more wins than Krillin but probably less than Roshi.

That's actually an interesting scenario. Cargo could probably survive a bit longer during the Namek Saga and while Nail's story would have been probably the same, they could probably stall a bit longer against Frieza, or at least they could have survived a bit longer.

The most interesting is probably Piccolo Jr., as he would probably have some healing skills either during the end of DB or early DBZ sagas, which would make him probably more useful and could change some of the battles for the better (or the worse, if we check the whole big picture).

Fusion would definitely be more easier between some of the namekians.

Also, some key moments that could have probably changed:

- Piccolo being more relevant against Raditz and the other saiyans thanks to being able to heal
- Cargo survives and goes with Dende
- Even when Dende dies, Cargo could probably survive (once again), thus providing additional healing (or Cargo dies this time, but Dende's still alive)
- They help to evacuate the planet more easily
- Cargo comes to Earth with Dende when Goku asks them - one of them becomes the Guardian, while the other the Guardian's protector
- Being able to fight, they'd probably stall smaller enemies and/or being able to help during different sagas
- Piccolo could work like a "mini-Senzu Bean" during several arcs
- Hypothetical Goku x Dende (or Goku x Cargo?) fusion could probably be something actually worthy
- Dende-Cargo Fusion, either by Namekian way or by the Dance?

The thing is, that it wasn't such a scenario that they *had* to recruit him, because their life was not on the stake that time. Yeah, they'd have move to a different universe, but it doesn't seem to be that bad as a "worst case scenario" after all the crap that happened in DBZ.

But even if they do, I don't think it'd have been different aside from the fact that he'd probably wanted to fight both Frost and Cabba, and humiliate both of them. The question is that if they allowed him to do so or not.


My question is: What if Gohan had a twin sister?

Not much would change really. He would most likely underestimate Hit like Vegeta did and be taken out in a similar way.

Frieza would actually accept it. Since it meant killing someone looking like Goku. However I feel he would attempt to torture Black. Which in turn would make Black stronger. He'd probably kick Frieza's ass. But having Frieza there to assist them against M. Zamasu, would work out pretty good.

What-If Jiren was in universe 7? And instead trained under Roshi, and was goku's rival, instead of krillin? How much would things change?

What if Zamasu was the North Kai in Universe 7 instead of North Kaio?
My guess? One of two possibilities...

1: He'd start his "zero mortals plan" WAY earlier after seeing Freeza's empire and the Saiyans going around destroying entire civilizations basically unchecked for so many years. Everybody in the 7th Universe would die unless Beerus (or some other universe's God of Destruction) got involved and Hakai'd him out of existence before he got around to the "track down the Kaioshins and kill them so the Gods of Destruction also die" part. Since Zamasu is a SSj2-level fighter his power would be far beyond anything that existed in the 7th Universe at this point (even including the Kaioshin and demons like Dabura), so he'd probably not worry about immortality or gaining a more powerful body like he did after meeting Goku. This missing peice of the plan would be how he ends up defeated -- he'd probably move on to wiping out other universes after the 7th was gone, expecting his power to be unmatched in other universes too, until eventually some god-level fighter like Toppo or Jiren crossed paths with him and stomped him into dust with zero effort.

2: Seeing somebody else pull the "kill EVERYONE no matter what" thing on multiple planets the way Freeza did would push him to being against that sort of thing on principle, and he'd turn out to be less extreme than the Zamasu we know. He'd still be a more active Kaio than the North we knew and actually go out fighting rather than being a distant observer and only sometimes getting indirectly involved... but he'd focus on exterminating Freeza's empire specifically, rather than all mortals regardless of whether they're genocidal psychos or not. We might see a bit of his potential for crazy if he decides to wipe out the entire races that Freeza's army was made up of or something along those lines -- like tracking down Cold, Cooler, etc. or wiping a planet full of Jeice/Salza-type aliens just because of their association with Freeza's forces. The Ta(r?)ble special and Resurrection F could never happen in a universe with North Kaio Zamasu, since every trace of Freeza's empire would be GONE. Heck, the Freeza saga itself probably wouldn't happen since I suspect Zamasu wouldn't be patient enough to wait 30 years to go after Freeza, especially if he was already similar in power to SSj2 Goku long before that point in time. This Zamasu would probably be a bit more fond of Goku if they ever met, seeing how he's a Saiyan who doesn't go around wrecking entire planets like the rest of his species -- in this case meeting Goku would stave off the crazy rather than pushing him face-first into it, making him reconsider destroying the entire races of prominent Freeza soldiers now that he's met someone who proves that they don't all turn out the same as their more-destructive relatives. I figure if Raditz lived long enough to have his fight with Goku and Piccolo, this Zamasu would be just fine with training Goku to fight the other two remaining Saiyans, and Goku would probably get even stronger than in the canon story through this training (though he wouldn't learn the Kaio-ken or Spirit Bomb, since the North Kaio we knew came up with those techniques. Maybe we'd see Goku fighting Vegeta with Goku Black style techniques instead?)

What if they recruited Tao Pai Pai and Tsuru Sen'nin to fight the Saiyans somehow? Assuming the duo trained, how different would the fight be?
