Without Trunks, who would Future Gohan, Goku and Gohan train with? I doubt Vegeta would train with Goku during this part of the story.
It likely goes much better. Goku and possibly the two Gohan's go in, come out as MSSJs early and defeat Imperfect Cell before he even eats 17.

Vegeta would train alone, and maybe, Goku and Future Gohan train together, leaving kid Gohan not trained. Possibly Future Gohan turns SSJ2 and defeats Cell without Goku dying. Since Goku doesn't die, he and Vegeta fight some day so Majin Vegeta never happens. So the whole Buu arc doesn't happen.

I think this is impossible since Buu already reincarnated. If Super Shenlong is be able to recreate Kid Buu's soul or something, I guess they could potara-fuse Beerus and Champa as a last resort.

What if Future Trunks join the U7 team against Champa? He takes Fat Buu's spot and pass the test.

Well, technically Universe 7 still wins because of Trunks replacing Majin buu.

What-If Uub and Buu fused, were sent back in time after they fused, ends up near the end of the Saiyan-Tuffle War in Age 729 in Planet Plant, the next thing he knew was in the dead of night where every saiyan is killing every innocent tuffle after the moon came out, what will happen? What will the future will change? How the heck Majuub will get used to the high gravity and the bloodshed?
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.

That's a really oddly specific change.
Depending on what he does, everything or nothing at all.

Vegeta might do as good if not better then goku. Vegeta seems to learn stuff better or quicker then Goku. I mean he learned how to achieve god ki on his own. So he might be to do a little better then Goku.

What if Future Trunks didn't stop the revival of Buu in his time line? However they became friends. Would they together have been able to beat Black?

How strong would Gohan and Piccolo be at the start of the buu saga if
A, Piccolo had the same drive and potential he had in the android saga
B, Gohan's drive to protect the earth made him decide to become as strong as possible
C, Gohan and Piccolo trained together often because a partner is better than nothing(assume Goten joins in once he is old enough).

They will leave SS2's to dust, but SS3 leaves them to dust.

What if....Turles showed up in the saiyan saga instead of Vegeta and then Vegeta was on Namek as Zarbon's partner instead of Dodoria?

What if Krillin was turned into an Android between the Frieza Saga (let's say he survives Namek) and Trunks mini-arc? Slightly related, what if Gohan went SSJ during the Garlic Jr. Arc?

Considering how he seems to learn how to fight as things develop, based on how Trunks said he couldn't sense ki until recently... even if they may not be able to beat him in a straight fight (depending on how strong he is exactly... it's implied his full power is more than SSj2 level anwyay), Buu's candy beam renames him to "Black Licorice" regardless of the power gap and that's the end of that story arc. XD

Well, unless he can still move around or even fight in candy form. I don't get the impression that the power gap between Trunks and him is so huge that being candy wouldn't put him at a disadvantage, though, so if that happens Buu probably eats the candy version of Black before he can escape.

What if Mirai Trunks came back to the past a couple of years after Cell was defeated? When Gohan was a top-notch, Goku was dead, Vegeta presumably unmotivated but still in his training days.

It has no indication that Black is in fact above a God-tier, so could the Z-Senshi in that AGE help Trunks to defeat him?

what if the super dragonballs were used to bring back everyone from future trunks universe including goku. How would that change the fight with black? We know they would all need the ROSAT to train and get stronger. How would affect future vegeta's relationship with trunks?

What if Bulla had the ability to turn Super Saiyan? Maybe then she'd be more into martial arts. Maybe? :cry:

Being half-Saiyan, she already has the ability. She never transformed exactly because she's not interested in fighting.
