Who would you pick as the next generation of fighters?

Post by Truhan » Fri Nov 13, 2015 2:59 pm

Pan - The first female Super Saiyan of the canon. She would carry their bloodline on the series.
Uub - Human with great potential through reincarnation. This one wouldn't fall behind.
Cell Jr - Engineered to serve good. He would grow into a Super "Perfect" Cell.

Transformations:

Pan - Heartening Super Saiyan (HSSJ). She would transform her caring personality into power as an element.
Uub - Majin Uub (not GT). Fat Buu would give him the power to summon a brown shaded Super Buu skin at will.
Cell Jr - Beyond Super Cell. His armor and wings would improve to Platinum level, and his skin would grow darker.

Oob as the main character.
Pan, Goten, and Trunks as the secondary characters. I don't know anything about Bra so I guess she can also be a secondary character or whatever.

Seconding this one. Goten would probably be the reluctant, but strong one, Trunks still stronger than him, Pan inherits Gokû's battle junkie gene, and Bulla I'd like to think takes after Vegeta in strategy but still wants to look cool while fighting.
On hiatus.

I would consider a new Half-saiyan from Goten and Bulla ;)

Marron, Pan, Uub, and the son of Tarble and Gure who is physically just Gure, but with Vegeta's hair/widow's peak.

Uub, Pan, Bra and Marron.

We got a nice mix of humans and Saiyans in there and some females that can one day kick some serious ass. And before someone says that Marron would be useless:

1. It's shown throughout the series that the new generation is stronger than the old one.

2. Roshi never got past King Piccolo level (in the manga) while Krillin and the other got into potentially the hundreds of thousands if not millions. Going by how weak Roshi is they should've never been able to beat a Saibaman. Plot contrivances and new ways of training and new powerups (the same things that made the current humans so strong compared to the fighters of old) can make Marron right up there with the others. It's honestly as simple as does Toriyama want her to be a fighter.

Pan
Goten
Trunks
Bra (considering Hercul'e is a word filter I'm surprised Bulla isn't)
Oob (He needs to be introduced before the 28th Budokoi for this to work)
And a new character.

Pan as the main Hero would be awesome! The series needs a female lead for sure.

They don't exist. The characters themselves exist, but no such thing as a next generation of fighters. They'd also be incredibly irrelevant by this point without some haxing. Maybe Oob could pull it off, but I don't think anyone behind Dragon Ball gives a shit about Oob right now.

I would love to see a future project focusing on Pan and Oob. Those are two characters that have a ton of potential that have never been explored. It would be great to see Pan rewritten, too (I can't stand the way she was portrayed in GT).

I don't mind that she was an annoying girl, I just wish she had developed more. I enjoy when characters start out in a negative light but grow on me. Mr. Satan is a great example.

Yeah, I agree.

Out of the characters that definitely exist, it'd be Oob, Pan, Marron, and Bra. The latter two might not have ever shown any indication in being interested in fighting, so they probably wouldn't be the strongest of the next gen, but it'd still be a waste for them not to learn at least a little bit.

Beyond them, I wouldn't mind seeing a son of Tenshinhan and Lunch, and a son or daughter of Mr. Boo (following some of the DBO backstory ideas). It kind of feels lacking not to have a Namekian in the mix, but there's not really a super feasible way to have another one join the group...unless...hmm. Unless maybe you had a new Namekian warrior from Namek decide that they wanted to go train under Piccolo on Earth, and did so, or something. Have to admit, I never really thought of that before now, but that'd work nicely enough.

Marron shouldn't be a fighter, she should have a Bulma-type role for the new gen of fighters.
