Fic Idea: Trial of Vegeta

[Hades]

When Vegeta dies post-Z, Enma is unsure of where to put him, so a trial is convened, with the fate of the last Saiyan's soul at stake.

Sounds promising actually, go for it

[Gyt Kaliba]

Sounds interesting enough and definitely a lot different than most other fics I've run across - I'd also say give it a go!

[Hades]

It's for better writers than I to do. Besides, it would need someone with a legal background to properly write.

Some things that could be used

Otherworld Vs. Vegeta.

Sitting Judge: Enma-Daio

Advocate for the defence: Son Goku

Advocate for the prosecution: Piccolo

Charges: 5 counts of Genocide (Pre-Z)

5 counts of conspiracy to commit genocide (Pre-Z)

1 count of murder on Earth (Nappa)

1 count of torture on Earth (Goku)

1 count of Mass Murder on Namek (Namekian Village)

1 count of Manslaughter on Earth (truck driver)

1 count of conspiracy to create a weapon of mass destruction (becoming a majin)

1 count of Mass Murder (World Tournament Massacre)

Eh...that part, I dunno about. It would still need to feel more like Dragon Ball than a John Grisham novel, IMO, and who's to say that the courts of the netherworld would work exactly the same way as any Earth court system, outside of the basic judge/jury/possibly witnesses set-up. Still sounds like an interesting idea that I hope someone gives a go though.

Upon further reflection, would Vegeta be facing specific charges, or would he be getting evaluated on his character upon his death? As well as that, I doubt those as connected to him as Goku or Piccolo could act as counsel in any form.

Basically, pretend you're writing a Phoenix Wright story and replace all the character names. That'd work for a rough draft, anyway.

The problem is, doing a trial in the Other World. I can easily see Freeza, Nappa and Cell as witnesses for the prosecution, which could be interesting, if handled well.
