Why didn't FutureGoku use King Kai's abilities to warn Future Gohan of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?

Post by Ash57 » Wed Nov 02, 2016 7:54 pm

Title.

Goku could touch King Kai's back and talk to Gohan just fine, just like he did when Gohan was clashing with Cell and like Yamcha talked to Bulma after everyone was teleported to the Earth. So why didn't Goku use King Kai's abilities to warn Future Gohan of the existence of the HTC, so Gohan would train and most likely become stronger than the androids?

Good question. If I recall correctly, Goku conveyed how he would visit King Kai and Bubbles again should he die -- that would have been an opportune moment to relay the news of a transdimensional room that can be used to greatly increase power. You'll simply need to chalk it up to suspension of disbelief as the timeline of events would run counterintuitively to Toriyama's intended context for Trunks' world. You could extend the parameters of this scenario further and have Goku call upon his one day return to the mortal realm to teleport Gohan to New Namek and use their Dragon Balls.

He probably didn't think about it. I doubt Goku was watching over everyone since his contact with the living world is likely limited. Goku didn't know who Goten was and that #18 is married with Krillin.

Goku died of natural causes in the future so his body is gone.

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 think that Kami's Lookout was destroyed in the future and Future Korin died there.
I also don't think Goku kept his body in the future.

Because everyone in the future timeline is a gargantuan asshole, perfectly content to abandon everyone on Earth to their prolonged, painful existence. And no, don't tell me "Well Goku couldn't warn him!" or "Well Vegeta is gone!" yeah and what's Piccolo doing in the afterlife? What's his excuse for not badgering King Kai until he contacts New Namek?

And don't tell me King Kai doesn't have to involve himself because it's an Earth problem. King Kai already made such an exception when he helps Bulma figure out where Namek is. This action in no way whatsoever helps the greater universe, it's just him deciding to help out his pupil and his tiny, insignificant planet. Hell, King Kai doesn't even bat an eye when everyone who visits him cheats the system by taking his training, training meant for dead warriors yet Goku and Piccolo and the rest all get it, then cheat by returning to life. Pretty sure that's not meant to happen either but does King Kai care? Nope, so spare me the BS of "King Kai can't intervene!" cause I ain't buying it.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Where can I see this bonus chapter?
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

You say it like they're actually capable of reaching New Namek.

Don't need to, Goku just uses the phone in kaios back to tell the namekians to gather em up and use them for them.

When Goku died, there were no androids around, so telling Gohan about the RoSaT would not be a pressing issue.

That does not matter. You're telling me Goku saw nothing wrong when he saw almost every damn Z fighter in hevean? That is just another excuse Goku should of mentioned the chamber the moment he saw all his friends dead 3 years later. King kai helps out of nowhere in saiyan and Buu saga but he doesn't help now?

Goku may not ever have become aware that something was up back on Earth and he may not have met his friends in heaven either.
The thing is we don't know, so blaming Goku, when we don't have such crucial information seems a bit harsh.

Those are major threats. #17 and #18 are only threats to the Earth and nothing else. Vegeta and Nappa have been known to wipe out other planets before. Buu was a threat to the whole universe and even King Enma had Vegeta be sent back to Earth to fight Buu.

North Kaio specifically helped Goku, his prized student. Excluding outside continuity, he was never concerned with Earth, in particular. Any immediate concern derives from caring about Goku. Otherwise, he watches over all of his planets equally, without interference.

After everyone died, Goku was probably like "There's not much we can do". Not to mention it's possible that #17 and #18 blew up Kami's Lookout before they can use the Room of Spirit and Time.

Even if it's a "shitty joke" it's still more real than the statement in your first post.

Well... I'm going to say this.

Suppose Goku did not meet them. I'm pretty sure Piccolo Tien Yamcha and Chaotzu all went to King Kais planet Vegeta and Krillin may tag along. They tell him their problem and he would be happy to help. They can ask the Nameks to summon Porunga and ask them to wish all of them back to life and fix earth from all the damage the androids inflicted on it. Goku is confused on how he is alive and then Piccolo fills him in when he finds him. They go into the HTC and then goodbye androids.


But there is one flaw with this. Why wouldn't Goku go to King Kai's planet? He always goes there.
