Barduck and Raditts, like in DBZero (a fan manga), but longer and more in detail.

I can't imagine Bardock having much of a relationship with Radditz.... heck, I'd be surprised if he even met him.

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
I agree with you, but a general Saiyan backstory would be nice. Like for instance detailing the Saiyan-Tsufrian war. The Barduck special was nice, but I wanted more.Kingdom Heartless wrote:I can't imagine Bardock having much of a relationship with Radditz.... heck, I'd be surprised if he even met him.

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
I mention this before, somewhere, but... The Adventures of Zeshin and Boone! The two oldest of the space children in DBZ filler, eps 39 and 40 I think.
It would show what happened when Kewie invaded their planet and then an encounter with Lychee and Zarkro posing as their relatives or something...
Then, everything after meeting Gohan, Bulma and Kuririn.
Maybe Zeshin becomes a martial artist? Maybe Boone becomes a great pilot? Maybe some more children get named! Who knows?!
Would also love a Mr. Satan and Mr. Boo spin off.

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
I agree with Kingdom Heartless that a backstory to Muten Rôshi would have a lot of potential. It would give us more insight into the lecherous but powerful martial arts master, his training under Mutaito (we'd also learn a bit more about him), possibly open up a lot of Goku-Kuririn-style comedy moments between him and the Crane Hermit, as well as his perverted nature (and how he amassed his extraordinary collection of porn magazines
) and detail how he became rivals with the Crane Hermit.
Personally, I'm not too fond of a spin-off including Goku & Oob's training, since I never liked Oob (I find him to be a Gohan clone) and I don't think it'll be anything of interest or add to the series in any way--and I don't think it'll be a "spin-off" either, since it would still involve the main character of Dragon Ball, Son Goku, and would be more like a continuation of Dragon Ball.
I'm in favour of "The Adventures Of Mr. Satan & Mr. Boo", since that would be too awesome for words.
And I'd like to see a Piccolo spin-off, detailing his training as a child before the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai, maybe a small bit about his training in those 5 years (since I can't imagine anything more exciting than the Makankosappo in those ghost town mountains) and his training with Gohan and how he formed a bond with him.

A young Prince Vegeta story. Taking place after Planet Vegeta's destruction and during Goku's adventures in Dragon Ball.

That would actually be cool if they did something like that as sort of a counter to OG Dragon Ball, where they show all of Vegeta's wacky space adventures and parallel the events to Goku's adventures on earth.Gotham22 wrote:A young Prince Vegeta story.

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
Well, I was thinking something along the lines of him ending his training with Goku on the first episode, then continuing on his own path, as Goku did. Goku would only appear in cameos in my mind.Personally, I'm not too fond of a spin-off including Goku & Oob's training, since I never liked Oob (I find him to be a Gohan clone) and I don't think it'll be anything of interest or add to the series in any way--and I don't think it'll be a "spin-off" either, since it would still involve the main character of Dragon Ball, Son Goku, and would be more like a continuation of Dragon Ball.

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
I still think that would be boring. Oob was a crap character, in my opinion, and was nothing we hadn't seen before.Kingdom Heartless wrote:Well, I was thinking something along the lines of him ending his training with Goku on the first episode, then continuing on his own path, as Goku did.

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
With the wealth of characters in Dragon Ball/Z/GT there are so many possibilities for a spin off. Personally, I'd love some villain backstories. Freeza's or Zarbon's origins, Vegeta's childhood, maybe something chronicling the wacky adventures of the Ginyu Force.
On the other hand, I reckon Mirai Trunks and what happened after he defeated the androids is a goldmine of spin-off material too. Something along the lines of what the Dragon Ball Super Z Series fanfiction covered, perhaps.
This list could go on...

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
I'm pretty sure we haven't seen a reincarnation of the most evil demon ever created, reborn into a normal human who can fight with the saiyans. Not to mention the possibilities of his relationship with Goku and Mr Buu, maybe even a relationship with Pan. He is kind of in her age group after all. Much more so than ....Trunks -_-. Anyway, i don't think he's a Gohan clone. Gohan fights when his friends are hurt, and has a deep rage inside him. Uub doesn't and thanks to Goku, he becomes much calmer and level headed. For example the fight with Baby Vegeta. If it was Gohan, he would fight sloppy, blinded with rage. Uub has learnt to channel that anger into power, which Gohan never really learnt to do. Also he is more relatable, being full blooded human and has the potential to actually surpass Goku, as he keeps training and Gohan doesn't. You can probably attribute his toughness to his harsh upbringing and hard training, whereas Gohan was pampered (despite being in several situations that would make grown men piss their pants). Sorry but I'm an Uub fan. I would love to see a post gt earth sequel/spinoff of Uub defending earth with Vegeta's help.
Secondly, I want the history of the Cold empire and Frieza's race. How Cooler became estranged, why Frieza was the strongest etc. The ending would be Cooler finally achieving his fifth form as Frieza leaves for Namek.
I would say Trunks but everyone else has.

I would love the story of Buu, previous to being revived, when he was ''controlled'' by Bibidi, rather than Babidi.

Re: Which characters could be used for a spin-off?
"Who Else but Vegeta", a brand new series coming this fall to ABC, starring the Prince of Saiyans!
Watch as Vegeta gets into silly antics like going shopping with Bulma at the grocery store, taking Trunks to the park, and growing a mustache to be cool.
Guests like Goku and Tenshinhan make appearances and add to the hilarious fun!
-Insert clip of Ten and Vegeta-
Ten: "I didn't know Vegeta would get his own spin-off..." -mumbles and scoffs-
Vegeta: "Is that okay?"
Ten: "As a matter of fact, it isn't."
"Who Else but Vegeta", coming soon to ABC!!
--------------------------------------------------------
In all seriousness, something involving the Saiyans rising up as a race before their eradication by Freeza.
