My headcanon says he got the heart virus in Yardrat. He's the only Z Fighter to go to that planet, and maybe the natives are immune to that virus.

Trunks said your going to start hearing about a new virus on the news. He also said it was common in his time.

Which doesn't say where it came from. For all we know, Piccolo brought it from Namek, and was already immune to it.

What if Guru or Moori released everyone's potential before the Namekians relocated?

Better yet:

What if the Namekians lived on Earth instead of leaving?

So what if Porunga did wish back the really evil ones back on Earth. What would Babidi and Dabra do after being wished back?

Well idk. I think they would all be pretty decent. However I think Nail was the strongest namekian before Piccolo arrived.

Better yet:

That's interesting. But at the same time bad. If buu killed everyone on earth. No more dragon balls. I know dende would be alive but he couldn't bring back his dragon balls since the world was destroyed. However if they were there. Idk of any dragon balls would exist after buus rampage.

Well it could go one of three ways. Babidi could change his ways. Get killed by Darbura for Babidi trying to kill him. Also since darbura is technically good now. So he might be all happy and being a good guy. But the third option I could buy.

I could see Babidi possessing and controlling frieza's army and rule the known universe. All he would need to do is promise them power boost and they probably take him in. And hypothetically he could possess frieza right after he was revived since he could control Darbura. Who was more less Super Perfect Cell level. It be cool if he controlled frieza and forced him to train. Making him an even more powerful golden frieza. That be cool to see. But honestly frieza would just use him for the power boost and kill him once he got his golden form.

What if Goten and Trunks tried to used Gotenks to get a girl/date and succeeded?
What if Goku told Chi-Chi he was going to train and wasn't taking no for an answer?
What if Gohan started training again with Piccolo and Pan?
What if King Cold was revived instead of Freeza?
What if Bra told Vegeta she had a crush on Goten?

I imagine Gotenks would need a lot of toilet breaks to keep the girl from knowing he is two people fused.
Alternatively the girl starts talking about how she always wanted to be with 2 guys and the rest can be found in some H comic, I'm sure.
What if Goku told Chi-Chi he was going to train and wasn't taking no for an answer?
See DB Super Episode 17.
What if Gohan started training again with Piccolo and Pan?
Weak sparring partners, wouldn't help Gohan a lot, but Piccolo could generate some weighted clothes for Gohan to train with.
What if King Cold was revived instead of Freeza?
Cold destroys Planet Earth at first opportunity.
What if Bra told Vegeta she had a crush on Goten?
Vegeta wouldn't mind.

I think Dabra would have killed Babidi since it seems like he was getting tired of taking orders from him when he was fighting Buu. Dabra would still be evil even without Babidi under control. The scenes in Heaven are filler, so he would still try to do evil things after being wished back. So Goku, Vegeta and the others would notice him after killing off Buu. So Gohan would kill Dabra in one punch or one blast.

1. They began to fight over who is the rightful boyfriend and she leaves both.

2. DB super episode 17.

3. All three would be stronger.

4. He either tries to destroy Earth or he leaves and rules the rest of Frieza's empire.

5. He would act upset and complain but deep down he would be happy the saiyan blood isn't being more diluted. He would be made at Goku just because though.

What if Piccolo revived piccolo sr and merged with him. And he then merged with all the adult namekians? How powerful would he be? Would he even be in the same ball park as ssj God goku?

1- What if Piccolo (Namekian Warrior) fused with a Namekian Healer? Would he get stronger and gain healing powers?
2- What if Vegeta still had his tail? Would he be stronger as a SSJ Oozaru?
3- What if all the Saiyans were revived?

What if during the battle for the Saiyans, Chaozu fought after Tenshinhan and got blown up instead of Yamcha?

What if Chi-Chi gave birth to twins(a boy and girl) with Goku's love of fighting and training after the Buu saga.

Goku would probably throw his daughter under the bus, she can be the scholar, Gohan can be the fighter. Chi Chi may agree to this. Chances are the daughter will resent this, but will train in secret until she deus ex machininas a fight somewhere after the Freeza saga. Afterwards, she could go back to studying, or keep fighting.

EDIT - Oh, you mean after the Buu Saga, not leading up to and after the Buu Saga...Well I guess they'd be infants during the BoG, RoF, and the U6 stuff. TIme would tell, but End of Z, I guess that tournament at the end will be full of brats I guess (Boy, Girl, Pan, Uub)

1. Namekian Warriors can only fuse amongst themselves so this wouldn't happen unless he used the potara or fusion dance. In those cases he would get stronger at least.
2. Depends on the multiplier for SSJ Oozaru. Maybe if it is both Oozaru and SSJ multiplied together.
3. They would proceed to become the strongest race in the universe if Beerus doesn't go and destroy them like he was planning to before Freeza did.

I think Yamacha might be a little time so Piccolo does live in the end.

Unless you think the 610 reading is accurate for Chaozu.
