So Piccolo wastes an entire day to get the same boost as he would if he'd just fused with Kami? Then everyone else dies from Cell within that 24 hours while Cell still gains power from absorbing Humans, and when Piccolo finally comes out of the chamber, he finds himself still outclassed. GG.

Well in canon he wasted an entire day waiting for Kami to let them fuse. So going into the Rosat would actually be a much more prudent idea

He waited an entire day? Huh, didn't know that. Then in that case, nothing really changes except no need for Dende yet.

May not have been a whole day but it was a long time

What if in GT, only Goku, Vegeta, Goten and Trunks went into space while Pan stays on Earth?

The show would have been better. And Vegeta wouldn't have screwed around and possibly would have became an ssj4 around the time baby arc. It would have been cool to see a super baby gohan. Goku and Vegeta vs gohan

Bebi probably have taken over Vegeta's body if he went in Space with Goku. Bebi would have remember Vegeta and try to taken over his body unless Goku and Vegeta together kill him quickly. I think the Super 17 saga would have happen since Dr. Myuu would want revenge on Goku.

What if Kuririn was faced with the same opportunity to shut down one the cyborgs to stop Cell's perfection but it was #17 instead of #18 that he had to shut down?

What if Beerus and Champa switched assistants for a week?

1) Cell would never reach his perfect form, as there'd be no reason for him to hesitate to shut #17 off. He was able to get close enough to #18 to shut her off without noticing, so assuming he could do the same with #17 (no reason why he shouldn't), then he'd shut #17 off, Cell wouldn't be able to absorb him, and then Trunks would most likely finish him off.

2) I don't really see much anything changing. Vados seems to be more or less just as accommodating to Champa as Whis is to Beerus, so I doubt there's much anything that would change. At most, I imagine that maybe Vados would be less scornful of any planets that Beerus destroyed, just due to her reluctant willingness to destroy planets when Champa was ordering her to.

- Kuririn would never hesitate and would destroy 17.And Cell would never achieve his Perfect form and would get killed by either Vegeta or Trunks,If this happens after Cell tricks Vegeta for absorbing 18,Vegeta would probably be mad as shit to Kuririn and would probably want to kill him at first.

- Nothing change that much except Goku and Vegeta trains with Vados.

Wouldn't have made difference. Beerus came to Earth looking for the Super Saiyan God not for pudding.

What if Broly was cannon?

He would be very useful for Wars in the Middle Ages.

(Didn't post for like 75 million years though.)

What-if Future Time Patrol Trunks was immune to Dark Magic? If so, how?

What-If the Saiyan Race had evacuated to a eden-like planet after King Bejita was slain? If not, how they would be dead by then? If so, then how they will be recovering soon?
Just chillin' with Goku and Vegeta, Kairi, Riku, Mickey, Goofy, and of course Donald Fuckin' Duck.

And swingin' this keyblade called Crystal Snow. Damn, even its own keyblade transformation beats out Krillin's speed. BTW, Blizzard Blades are Goku fast.

Beerus leaves peacefully and nothing bad happens. Though if you count ROF Freeza returns to kill everyone. However after meeting Beerus they could potentially get in contact with him since he loves Earth Food, and have him kill Freeza.

Nah, Beerus and Whis made it clear they didn't care about that.

Freeza comes and kills everyone, leaves and everything gets wished back with the Namekian DBs.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

They got such food boners for earth that they could probably bribe em with tons of food to make them kill Freeza.

It's so inconsistent.

Beerus wakes up and wants to kill frieza the next time he sees him

Beerus sees frieza trying to destroy his favorite source of food in the universe

Does nothing.

They should have said "Hey Beerus, you like that Parfait? If Frieza wins you can't get anymore. And if you do we'll throw pudding at you now that you're here."

Beerus rushes up to Frieza and breaks his neck.

beerus-Where's my damn pudding?!

But again...plot convenience gets in the way.
