Daima 2.0 - Rather than kids, everyone is turned elderly

Daima gets a sequel and not!Gomah uses some evil dragon balls to turn Goku & co into old men. How would this work out? :lol:

I'm going to look like such a poser if I do a "Rather elderly, everyone is turned into a girl" thread now...

Gokuu experiences a panic attack, finally forced to deal with watching his ability to improve fading and having to look to the inside for self-improvement.

This premise is actually pretty damn funny and I'd love to see it lol
I wonder what would happen to Roshi's old ass, he already looks like he's as old as he can possibly get. Maybe he'll get a laugh or two out of the main cast finally facing the one inescapable enemy they will never be able to beat or run away from

They will develop something like stands in Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, made from their Ki, whilst sitting under trees in cool shadow.
We saw foreshadowing to this in Beerus arc in Super, with those Ki Dragons.
The stands will duke it out instead of their frail bodies.
:lol:

In-universe, I guess that everyone turns elderly except for Saiyans :?

It would be funny only for one, two, max three episodes and then it would become a bore to watch just like Daima.

The show's main character becomes Majin Buu, and the villains survive 3 episodes tops.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Should do well in Japan considering the aging population.

You just know you just KNOW there’s at least one Dragon Ball fanfic where every character gets gender bended

Oh, I am in no way capable of being surprised if this is true. The other day, my friend linked me this 780,000 word fan fic where Gokuu is a woman. I have yet to have a chance to read it yet, though.

But oh my god, you could do so many different takes on "Gokuu and the gang are turned into girls" or "so-and-so begins transitioning after realizing that they are a girl!" It's such a rich field for exploring questions of gended and sexuality in these characters, especially from shounen series.

I switched from writing fan fiction to writing original fiction, so I don't think I'd ever have the time to write gender bender Dragon Ball, but god, it would be interesting to see someone try it out—especially in a visual medium.

The dolls want gender bender Dragon Ball, Iyoku!
