What if Goku existed in real life!
So i wanted to do this Dragon Ball "What if" discussion . And i think one of the more interesting ones that i would have liked to talk about is. What if Goku actually existed in real life or was teleported into real life but he wouldnt have had any super powers. Just purely coming from his character and personality!
What would Goku think of real life world? What would Gokus hobbies or career would be? Since Toriyama's version of world is very loosely based on just future capsule like city. How different would it actually be from this society. Ofcourse he would be as strong as an average human, with no dragon balls or miracles he might probably find this life depressing. Though I think he might become martial arts instructor as part of his job and some of his hobbies could probably be fishing or playing video games but ehh I dont know. I depends what really version of Goku we use, but lets say its Goku from Buu saga or DBS, so then who do you think he would become in real life?

My answer is the boring "he would live in a cabin in the woods/mountains and hunt his own food like he does in the beginning of DB.". ^^;

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
He'd probably get very sick from eating all the bears and wolves......if he didnt get killed by them first.
Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
Is it horrible that my first thought was, "He'd definitely be in jail."?
I can't imagine his country self getting into fights all day would translate well in the real world, even if he had organized fighting as an outlet.

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
Goku is too pure for this world. I would honestly be worried that he could be corrupted, without his strength.

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
He'd be in jail? Thats very ungoku like to happen, he not some feral creature or barbarian. I know that as a character hes pure hearted and a bit naive on a side kinda like man child. But if he some how woke up one in a different world that would be pretty shocking for him at least only then to find that he has no powers or strength. Which will cause him to reevaluate his limits and what is he even going to do!??Nejishiki wrote:Is it horrible that my first thought was, "He'd definitely be in jail."?I can't imagine his country self getting into fights all day would translate well in the real world, even if he had organized fighting as an outlet.
Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
That actually could happen, since strength is what makes up Goku and what hes good at. Do you think then he would have to rely on weapons like guns or bow for hunting or self defense?B wrote:Goku is too pure for this world.

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
He'd be one of the top fighters in the world, definitely. He'd probably fish, farm and hunt as hobbies/work.

His extravagant hairstyle would start a new fashion

He'd live in seclusion, where he would hunt and train in peace.

Goku would live in the wild on his own. He probably won't have many good social skills.

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
When you say he wouldn't have any super powers, do you mean he would be human, or a Saiyan with no Saiyan abilities? Would he have a tail? Would his DNA be different from humans? If he went to a doctor to be examined would they be able to tell he wasn't human? Because if so, that would be a huge deal - the various governments of the world would be going "Holy shit, aliens exist and there's one here on Earth!"

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
what does "no superpowers" mean? He trained and built up his power. So, he can do it here as well.
On topic, earth will be destroyed atleast once.

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
Right now I'm picturing a scenario where Goku and Vegeta are fighting in a city. The cops show up and throw them both in jail. Vegeta gets life (or death) for the murders of Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and others. I know the OP is talking about Goku in the real world, but I can't help but picture that scenario lol.
Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
He wouldn't be arrested for malicious reasons, of course. I just picture him seeing people who look strong to him and innocently picking fights, whether they want to engage or not and angering the locals of whatever boonies he happens to stay at. To everyone else, he appears to be an asshole despite the intentions.Protege wrote:He'd be in jail? Thats very ungoku like to happen, he not some feral creature or barbarian.

Re: What if Goku existed in real life!
He'd live in the woods alone as a child, go feral, and get killed falling down a waterfall or something. And nobody would ever know, until some National Geographic extra who is about to lose his job decides to do a special on the rumors of the wild cave boy that growled and threw his shit at people.
