If you had to reorder the arcs, how would you do it?

[Yuji]

Someone reordered the arcs like this.

Part 1: Mystical Adventures

Arc 1: Pilaf Saga

Arc 2: Curse of The Blood Rubbies Saga

Arc 3: Roshi Training arc/Sleeping Princess in devil's castle Saga

Arc 4: 1st Tournament Saga

Arc 5: Red Ribbon/Path to Power Saga

Arc 6: 2nd Tournament/Mystical Adventure Saga

Arc 7: Demon King Piccolo Saga

Arc 8: 3rd Tournament/Piccolo Jr. Saga

Arc 9: Garlic Jr. Saga(Movie version)

Arc 10: World's Strongest Saga

Arc 11: Buu Saga

With this concludes the Mystical Adventures part of the story the theme of this part is more earth and mystical stuff going on keeping it down to earth. Like I said if your going to make predictions on what happen in the story make sure to scale down the characters so that the main characters can handle the threat.

Part 2: Space Sci-Fi Saga

Arc 12: Saiyan/The Tree of Might Saga

Arc 13: Namek(entirety of it like freeza, ginyu, etc)/Lord Slug Saga

Arc 14: Mecha Freeza/Cooler's revenge Saga

Arc 15: Black Star Dragonballs/Return of Cooler/Broly the legendary Super Saiyan Saga.

Arc 16: Granolah/beibei Saga

Arc 17: Cell(Including androids and Future Trunks)/Super 13/Bio Broly Saga

Arc 18: Moro/Bojack Unbound Saga

Arc 19: Broly Second Coming/DBS Broly Saga

Arc 20: 4th Tournament Saga

Arc 21: Fusion Reborn/Super 17/ROF Saga

Arc 22: Wrath of The Dragon Saga

This is the end of part 2, most of the threats come from space or have a connection to space in some way, I'm curious to find out what'll be said in the comments.

Part 3: Gods saga

Arc 23: Battle of Gods Saga

Arc 24: Future Trunks Saga

Arc 25: U6 vs U7 Saga

Arc 26: Tournament of Power Saga

Arc 27: Shadow Dragons Saga

Arc 27: Peaceful World Saga

Arc 28: Goku Jr. Saga

And with part 3 being the ending to the dragon ball story, I'm currious how you all will say how the arcs connect to one another. I tried to keep it themed base so that everything can fit with each other.

How would you rewrite the Boo arc? It's an Earth/magical conflict but it also has heavy ties with the Gods and implications for later stories like Daima and Moro.

[MisteryOne]

Thinking more about this, I personally don't have an issue with magical beings or gods being stronger than aliens. The Buu arc for example may take place on Earth but I don't think that necessary means it needs to take place before the space arcs, as Buu himself is not really an earthly threat and has direct relations with the Kaioshin. The Moro arc also takes a magical villain from space who tries to surpass gods, but the finale is still suitably placed on Earth.

I also think, depending on where you place it, the Buu arc just gives the perfect excuse for Vegeta to unlock Super Saiyan. I would find Majin Vegeta way more appealing if rather than just arbitrary wanting a rematch with Goku he was still obsessed with the Super Saiyan concept. You lose the family aspect and his final sacrifice, but it's already useless anyways despite being an emotionally powerful scene. It would give an actual reason for Vegeta to screw things up rather than what he does in the actual Cell and Buu arcs where his pride screws everyone over but they never really hold it against him. The story never really gets satisfying reasons for Bulma to be with him anyways, or for any character but Ten Shin Han to doubt his place on Earth...

Of course, that would mean changing how the transformation is handled, but I always thought it would sell better the idea of Gohan's potential if he never needed to transform to keep up. And if you place the Cell arc before the Saiyan's arrival, you can't have Trunks use Super Saiyan either because he wouldn't even be Vegeta's son (trough learning about a second SS could be what pushes Vegeta over the edge if he didn't archive it himself, so you could move the time travel plot elsewhere...but that changes the Cell arc so massively you may as well just remove it and have Super Hero as the only return of the RR).

You're absolutely right to point out that Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego are fundamentally opposed in their mechanics, which is what makes the idea of a fusion between the two so intriguing. Fusion often transcends the limitations of individual techniques, creating entirely new abilities. So, rather than thinking of Ultra Fusion as a simple combination where both forms would be used as they are individually, I imagine it as a new state that harmonizes the conflicting principles.

Here’s how it could work: Ultra Instinct would provide the defensive agility and precision to dodge when necessary, while Ultra Ego would allow the user to absorb and embrace attacks strategically when taking a hit could offer a greater advantage. It wouldn't be about constantly dodging or constantly taking damage; it would be about finding a balance, where the fused warrior has the wisdom to know when to evade and when to take a blow to grow stronger.

This kind of balance—between defense and offense, instinct and ego—would make for a new technique that reflects both the divine calm of Ultra Instinct and the fierce power of Ultra Ego. Instead of canceling each other out, they would complement each other by allowing the warrior to flow between both states depending on the situation, making them adaptable to any threat.

In essence, it wouldn’t be about combining their raw mechanics but rather creating a new fusion form that utilizes the strengths of both in a synergistic way.

My issue with that is that then the one that becomes pointless is Ultra Instict. It's supposed to evade moves without the user needing to think about doing so, making them faster that way. If the character needs the wisdom or rather, to take the decision on when to activate or not the ability based on rationale, that already goes against what is supposed to do. It wouldn't be any different from Gogeta just having Ultra Ego but knowing what attacks to evade, just like Vegeta evades Granolah and Gas' Hakai attacks. The balance of both forms is just fighting normally but ocasionally taking some hits to power yourself up. I'm also not sure if anyone could realistically switch from being completely calm to the point of not thinking to being the opposite and wanting to destroy and thrill on the battle, then back and so on. Vegeta himself already had a hard time first using Ego because he couldn't become as ruthless as he was supposed to be.

Similarly, if flowing through the forms is really more efficient than just evading everything somehow, I don't see why Whis is not asking Goku to also pursue the tecnique or why the Angels don't have both, specially as teachers of the Hakaishins.

[Hugo Boss]

For instance, Gogeta could instinctively evade attacks (Ultra Instinct), but, when overwhelmed, apply aggressive force (Ultra Ego) in reaction. This would require a heightened level of mental discipline, not to use both at the same time, but to know when to rely on each. It’s not a simple “off-switch” but more of a tactical shift that would flow with the battle’s rhythm. This could also be tied to the idea of Gogeta being a short-term fusion — capable of pulling off this level of mental switching but only for a limited time before the fusion splits, reflecting the strain of balancing these powers.

[Yuji]

Was thinking of a way to include the movies.

Earth:
1. Pilaf arc + Curse of the Blood Rubies
2. Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle
3. 21st Tenkaichi Budokai
4. Red Ribbon Army + Mystical Adventure - I've always liked Chaozu's backstory, I'm sure there's a way to rework it so it leads into the 22nd Budokai since there's a tie between Tenshinhan and the RRA via Tao.
5. 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai
6. Piccolo Daimao + Artificial Humans - Taking Julie's idea of introducing the androids here.
7. Garlic Jr. - Serves as a way to showcase God and Popo's power to set up Piccolo Jr even better as a threat.
8. 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai
9. The World's Strongest - Fittingly the final Earthling conflict for Goku before the space invaders. The androids introduced earlier could be featured in this arc too somehow. Maybe Wheelo and Gero were old rivals?

Universe 7
1. Saiyan arc
2. Namek arc - Super Saiyan is introduced here like in the real series.
3. The Survivors (Granolah, Baby, Raichi, Heaters, Bojack, Tullece, Slug) - Not sure exactly on the details but I was thinking of a post-Freeza arc functioning as a sort of universe restructure and showcase of new warring factions after the Freeza empire's collapse: we got the revenge-seekers (Granolah, the Tuffles), the entrepreneurs trying to take Freeza's place (Heaters, Tullece), and generic space bandits (Bojack, Slug). The arc can be an adventure across the universe like the RRA or GT's first arc, with Granolah as the introductory character and reluctant ally and Baby as the main villain. Maybe Goku is missing after Namek, Shenlong can't locate or wish him back, and the gang decides to try to find him, kickstarting the adventure?
4. Coola's Revenge + Resurrection F - We can then follow into Coola coming into the scene to try to save the empire and maybe finding Freeza's remains, healing him as Mecha Freeza, who'd then become a reocurring character.
5. Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan closes out Universe 7's mortal threats as its strongest character. Pretty much the same premise as DBS Broly, with Freeza finding him and using him as a ploy for revenge. Not sure how the climax works without fusion but I wouldn't mind Goku defeating Broly with just regular Super Saiyan.

The Gods:

1. Super 17/Superhero/Cell - Trunks is introduced here and Cell works as the culmination of every strong being in the mortal realm. Trunks' time travel being a divine sin may lead to the Gods being introduced. Arc still ends with Gohan unlocking Super Saiyan 2.
2. Boo - I liked the idea someone suggested of Vegeta unlocking Super Saiyan for the first time here through Babidi's magic, though not sure what this means for his battle power and usefulness in battle for prior arcs.
3. Moro - Merus' character may need to be reworked to fit in here. Goku's big transformation moment at the end of the arc can be any Super Saiyan form from 2, 3, 4 to God, depending on how earlier arcs were written and how slow/fast we want to take the power escalation.
4. The Demon World (Daima) - Hirudegarn and Janemba can be introduced here as demonic entities.

The Multiverse:
1. Battle of Gods
2. Universe 6
3. Black Freeza - Not sure if this arc is ever gonna happen but I didn't want two tournament arcs in a row. You can replace this maybe with some Heroes arcs like Prison Planet without a lot of the greater time travel implications.
4. Tournament of Power
5. Goku Black
6. Shadow Dragons

Was thinking of a way to write the Heroes arcs in too but timeline stuff is such a huge escalation. The Cell and Zamasu arcs dabble in it but it's not to the scale Heroes does. I think Hearts should be included somewhere since his goal to take down Zeno is endgame stuff and not necessarily time travel-related, so maybe place him after the ToP and before Goku Black.

[Almighty Majin]

Prologue

Spoiler:

Bardock Arc: This arc covers pretty much all of the Bardock stories rewritten in some coherent manner, splicing multiple elements from each story. I would keep the Kanassa sequence and have Bardock gain precognition. Gine will be there, Bardock's crew is all there (Leek included as well). Bardock is sent back in time by a mysterious figure and Episode of Bardock plays out.

Galactic Patrol Arc: Sachie-Chan, Jiya, and Jaco all get combined here in one bigger Galactic Patrol storyline that will deal with the betrayal of Steth and the rescuing of Tights. Jiya and Jaco can be a duo, Sachie can be rewritten Omori's granddaughter, the Mil Clan are minions of Vamp (secretly Steth), etc. This ends with Goku landing on Earth and being spared.

Act 1: Earth Saga

Spoiler:

Hunt for the Dragon Balls Arc: Mostly the same as the original, just add in more scenes of Pilaf being involved as the overarching antagonist of this arc. Maybe throw in more attempts from the Pilaf Gang to undermine Goku and friends. For being an Emperor, there is not much of an empire... Rabbit Mob could be hired help by Pilaf, Bear Thief could also be a Pilaf goon. Chi-Chi should join the party as well.

Blood Rubies Arc: After the defeat of Pilaf, our heroes must deal with the rampage of King Gurumes. The Dragon Balls were already used at this point so they cannot be relevant in this arc. King Gurumes still wants to satiate his hunger though, that will be a major plot point there. Like in the film, he will be reverted to normal and his henchmen will be stopped (Bongo dies, Pasta is defeated).

21st Tournament Arc: Same as the original, maybe with Chi-Chi added.

Red Ribbon Army Arc: Keep it the same, but add an additional story segment of Goku dealing with General Copper's faction. He already fought Colonel Silver and Captain Yellow, Gebo is Copper's strongest soldier. Goku kills him to Dr. Gero's dismay and he vows to have his revenge. Copper should have the Battle Jacket now, Black will have the giant mech suit from Path to Power.

Mifan Empire Arc: Tao Pai Pai will debut here. The tournament will occur, Bora will participate and die here. Characters like Blue and Metallic who appeared in the film shall be replaced by the filler characters, Sky Dragon and Plague & Terror respectively. InoShikaCho should show up here as well. Yurin from the DBS ToP recruitment segment will also be introduced here. This will be the beginning of Goku and Tien's rivalry. Tao will be blown up here, Crane Hermit will seek revenge in the tournament. The visit to Baba's Palace happens after this as well as the tournament and the Pilaf gang being thwarted once again.

22nd Tournament Arc: Same as the original, I would probably switch the placement of Pamput and King Chappa though. Chi-Chi can be there, maybe Upa can be motivated to train as well to get strong enough to succeed Bora.

Devil Castle Arc: Same as the film, Lucifer is just powered up here compared to the original. This arc will connect back to the Baba tournament via Spike. Also the demon village filler characters (Shula and co.) will be underlings of Lucifer.

King Piccolo Arc: While Lucifer was being dealt with, the Pilaf Gang (now with Pasta on the team) have released King Piccolo. Events transpire the same way except the Ultra Divine Water Darkness filler happens so that it feels more earned. King Piccolo kills Pasta here because she thought she could use King Piccolo for her own means.

23rd Tournament Arc: Same as the original.

Androids Arc: Dr. Gero seeks his revenge by creating powerful androids with the data of the Dragon Team members. Androids 13-20 are the main threats here. 19 and 20 show up with 13-15 initially, 19 is destroyed and Super 13 is formed only to also be blown up. 20 retreats to get killed by 17. 16 is freed and his directive is to eliminate Goku. The 16-18 are thought of as being good people and are spared after their defeat. It might take a while to join the team though. Piccolo begins his change of heart here.

World's Strongest Arc: Dr. Wheelo awakens and captures Roshi, events play out the same as the film without the Kaioken and Spirit Bomb stuff.

Act 2: Space Saga

Spoiler:

Saiyan Arc: Same as the original except Piccolo does not die here... yet.

Makyo Arc: Combination of Dead Zone and Garlic Jr. filler, he just needs to be a main villain once, that's it.

Tree of Might Arc: The dead Earthlings are brought back for one day to help out in the fight against Turles and the Crusher Corps, this is the arc where Piccolo dies protecting Gohan.

Namek Arc: Same as the original.

Lord Slug Arc: Same as the film. This will happen after Goku's time on Yardrat. Lord Slug being the evil expelled from Guru a-la Kami is also a neat idea (I think Abridged parodied this idea with Guru being the "evil" one? But yeah let's do that for real). Also no False SSJ here, it's just SSJ this time.

Big Gete Star Arc: Combines both Cooler films into one story. Cooler is fully organic, he is just linked with the Big Gete Star interface. It acts more like his base/spaceship kind of like the Death Star. Unlike Freeza who has an army of various alien warriors, Cooler's army is all mechanical with the exception of his Armored Squadron who are enhanced alien mutant soldiers of course. Meta-Cooler is what happens when Cooler fully integrates with the Big Gete Star and is his strongest form.

Granolah the Survivor Arc: Pretty much the same as the original except vastly scaled down for this time period of course. Instead of Freeza being used as motivation for Granolah, it will be King Cold since he will still be around ruling the empire. This will be more focused on a power struggle between The Cold Empire, The Heeters Empire, and The Don Kee Empire. Ledgic will appear here and be a rival bounty hunter to Granolah.

Tuffle Revenge Arc: Combines Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans and all the Machine Mutant stuff from GT. Dr. Raichi is a Tuffle scientist, a remnant of the Tuffle race. Dr. Myuu is his Machine Mutant assistant whom he created. Hatchiyack is still a super computer that can assume a combat form, Ghost Warriors are still a thing, the other Machine Mutants such as Rilldo, the Sigma Force, and Luud are all creations of Raichi, and Bebi is Raichi's magnum opus. This will be an arc similar in length the Namek arc and will culminate in the completion of Bebi, who will possess Vegeta in order to fulfill the ultimate revenge on the Saiyan race.

Bojack Unbound Arc: Planet Hera will be a thing now, its own empire in the universe. Events occur pretty much the same as the original for the most part.

Resurrection F Arc: King Cold will revive Freeza and train with him. Golden Freeza happens, King Cold is stronger than ever, stronger Freeza soldiers appear due to them training as well (Tagoma, Shisami, Abo, Cado). King Cold is killed, Freeza escapes.

Broly Arc: Same as the Super film, but without all the god stuff.

Cell Arc: Future Trunks appears here. Cell is the culmination of all previous enemies, he is the ultimate biological lifeform composed of all alien DNA. Goku dies here again. More powerful androids are introduced here as well. Red Pharmaceuticals hires Dr. Hedo as Gero's successor and Android 21 (no Majin 21) shows up to take over the operation. Basically here we get: Gamma 1, Gamma 2, Super 17, Android 21, and finally Cell.

Act 3: Gods Saga

Spoiler:

Majin Buu Arc: Same as the original for the most part. There would be some changes made like Videl continuing to train and be relevant, Piccolo and Krillin not being wasted, Dabura fighting more and having a bigger role, etc.

Demon Realm Arc: Dragon Ball Daima. There will be hints towards certain other Demon Realm denizens however.

Konatsian Music Box Arc: Same as Wrath of the Dragon, but Tapion does not get in a time machine at the end.

Moro Arc: Same as the original, just scaled down to pre-god form stuff. Moro would have to lose in a different way though.

Hell Invasion Arc: Starts with Other World Tournament with Pikkon being introduced here as another potential rival to Goku. Goku is not dead, but he is invited by King Kai to participate in the tournament regardless. Fusion Reborn shenanigans happen afterward.

Time Breakers Arc: Towa and Mira are the main villains here similar to Online and the Xenoverse games. The Time Breaker villains from Online are present here, with Bardock being their strongest warrior (this is why he was being warped around time). Mira does what he did at the end of Xenoverse 2 and absorbs Towa to transform.

Battle of Gods Arc: Same as the original.

Universe 6 Tournament Arc: Same as the original except Buu actually participates.

Goku Black Arc: Same as the original except Future Trunks and Mai stay in the present after their timeline is gone.

Dark Empire Arc: Future Trunks and Mai are anomalies now, Chronoa enters the story here. Previous Demon Realm and Time Breaker shenanigans leads to entities like Demigra and Mechikabura popping up. Mechikabura becomes the main threat here with Demigra begrudgingly working with the Dragon Team to take him down.

Tournament of Power Arc: Same as the original with more elaboration on certain major team members from other teams. The Kamikaze Fireballs and Trio de Danger should be much more powerful and significant, for example.

Universe Seed Arc: Hearts shows up, does his thing, gets taken down. Pretty much an expanded version of the whole Prison Planet and Hearts sequence in Heroes. Involves fighters from multiple universes teaming up to take Hearts down.

Artificial Universe Arc: This is Fu's arc. Splices Fu shenanigans from Xenoverse and Heroes. Crimson Masked Saiyan is here. Fu is the Dark King successor, you already know the rest.

Shadow Dragons Arc: After the disaster that Fu caused, an attempt at using the Dragon Balls leads to the Shadow Dragons appearing due to negative energy build-up. Maybe connect this back to Zalama in some way as well. Goku still merges with Shenron here and leaves.

Space-Time Tournament Arc: This combines the Space-Time tournament concepts from Heroes, Legends, and Fusions. That is all I'll say because trying to organize that is a nightmare. I think Zahha from Legends should be the main and final villain here though. There will be other entities such as: Aeos, Demigra, Majin Ozotto, Sealas/Ahms, and Pinich who will be relevant antagonists in this massive arc, but I think Zahha should be the final one due to Omnificence Crystal shenanigans.

Epilogue

Spoiler:

Peaceful World Arc: Combines the 28th Tournament, DBZ: Kakarot End of Z DLC, Neko Majin Z, and Dragon Ball Online's prologue all into one story.

A Hero's Legacy Arc: This will pretty much be A Hero's Legacy along with the Goku Jr. vs Vegeta Jr. tournament sequence as well as the world that Earth becomes as of Dragon Ball Online (Saiyans being integrated into Earthlings, Namekians living on Earth, Majin race, Yardrats being nearby, etc.). Everything is peaceful for the most part in this time period though, no Time Breakers here.

[Peach]

I was thinking about this question again...

I think there should have been an arc immediately after Frieza destroyed the Earth in Resurrection F.

No rewind BS from Whis. The Earth is destroyed, the Namekian Dragon Balls can't restore Earth right away, and the survivors have to find the Super Dragon Balls to bring everyone back.

This could have lead into Champa's Tournament where stakes are raised and there is no Vegeta to back Goku up. A tournament Gohan doesn't sit out of because he has a conference.
