1) What if Merged Zamasu wasn't Immortal?

2) Could he have had survived the same 10X Kamehameha and Dragon Fist combo Super Saiyan 4 Goku tried to finish Omega Shenron with?

3) What if Goku could form a Spirit Bomb as instantaneous as his Instant Transmission?

1) Goku would deal far more damage to him, and Vegetto's Final Kamehameha would end him.

2) He would barely feel it.

3) Vegeta would be dead, Frieza would be dead, Cell would be dead, Buu would be dead.

6) How about in Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super?

1- Killed by vegetto blue easily, hell Goku's limb sacrificing Kamehameha would have heavily injured him

2- gt.. don't remember don't care

3- Every enemy would have been dead until berrus

4- nope, trunks finishing him was best, but the execution was terrible

5) What if during the Cell Games, there were two Teen Gohans? Like having the side of the son of Goku shown upon awakening into a Super Saiyan 2 gain sentience and then split himself from the original, creating a perfect fission, after Teen Gohan had stopped trying to fight Perfect Form Cell?

6) What if this had happened just when Majin Spopovich was going to beat down Videl?

7) What if a Dark Dragon Ball merged with Vegeta, when Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Golden Frieza were still at full power during Resurrection of F?

So you may think that SSJ4 is stronger than SSJB and consequently a SSJB Vegetto?

If it's Perfect fission happening I would assume both have same composition and same potential as the original after fission

5- Both gohan would have faught cell, the Saiyan side would fight to beat him to pulp and the Gohan side would deal the finishing blow when goku told to, cell dies..
It would be like being twins, one likes to fight other likes peace..
But both work totally in sync..

6- Spopovich dies and it goes same until potential unlock as even if Saiyan gohan trains alone as goku is not there, he won't be powerful enough to beat buu. Gohan's get crubstomped..
Then both gohan have potential unlocked as gohan can't just sit there and do nothing in case Saiyan gohan isn't enough to beat buu..
Buu dies, two ultimate gohan are a bit too much..

7- dark Dragonball? Black star I suppose..

What if Goten and Trunks got their potential unlocked by Old Kai?

While the former helps in making more significant gains than Super Saiyan Blue, you are gravely underestimating how much damage the Dragon Fist technique can do when it is combined at full power with the 10x Kamehameha of a SSJ4.

They'd be in the same tier as the adult SSJ2s. The two of them together could give Fat Buu a run for his money even without fusion, though ultimately they wouldn't be able to win. Goten would also end up slightly stronger than Trunks.

Yeah, that's what I assumed too. I think the trade off for them being so strong right off the bat is that they have a lot less in the tank than Gohan.

Interestingly, assuming the fusion multiplier stays the same I don't think Gotenks himself would end up massively more powerful. Gotenks' rate of improvement in the time chamber was pretty disproportionate compared to the kids, especially since he also obtained SSJ3 while the kids could only use SSJ.

So if they got unlocked instead going to the time chamber, Gotenks likely wouldn't be too much stronger than his Post RoSAT self.

Probably not, it's pretty obvious that Gotenks' growth rate is a completely independent thing from either Goten or Trunks. If they were in any way tied, the brats would've gotten many times stronger individually which clearly wasn't the case.

I think Gotenks is more of a multiplicative power up. So small powerups for goten and trunks would lead to even bigger difference in Gotenks strength.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

1. What if Monaka was truly a super badass that fought Beerus all thoss years ago? How would the events have played from Universe 6 arc to Zamasu arc?
2. What if Hit helped Goku, Vegeta, and F. Trunks go against Black and Zamasu during the arc?

In the U6 tournament, Monoka powers up and defeats Hit in one punch. Everyone loses their shit. It will be hilarious!

But Monoka is still a truck driver by trade, and doesn't fight if he doesn't feel like it, so Beers still has to fill in for Monoka against Goku, and Monoka was on the other side of the galaxy when the Zamasu arc starts. Lastly, he had a big stomach ache from eating too much meat, so he can't participate in the Universe Survival Arc.
What if Hit helped Goku, Vegeta, and F. Trunks go against Black and Zamasu during the arc?
There's too many god level opponents at that point, I"m sure with Hit's help Black would be killed, but they'd need some way still to beat Zamasu since Goku forgot the Evil seal for the jar.

I used to think they would easily reach the level of Super Vegetto.

Now that Super reveals Trunks' potential is closer to a f#@%ing Super Saiyan God Vegetto and his new form still isn't even close to unlocking everything, I say they'd surpass Beerus and Whis.

Just because Trunks was able to obtain that level of power at 30 doesn't mean he has it available as a 7 year old.

Old Kai's potential unlock is meant to unlock all the power you will ever get and then some regardless of your age.
