What is your head canon?

[sonikku956]

Along with Freeza's species, Saiyans, Nameks, and the Kaios, Humans are some of the strongest races in the DB Universe, but their average BP only seems weak because they aren't at their unlocked full power. Case and point: Chaozu, Yamcha, Krillin, Tenshinhan, Roshi, Chichi, etc. They all need masters that are much stronger than them in order to surpass the limitations they have. I bet, if the Z Fighters trained with Kibito or Kaioshin, or even Old Kai, they could be on Goku's level.

Also, Yamcha secretly hates Vegeta and, like Ten and Chaozu, has been training constantly but in private.

That is my headcanon.

Bra's natural hair style is actually Vegeta's, widow's peak and all. She uses a ton of conditioners to make it look like her mother's.

Almond and Zarbon come from the same star system.

[sonikku956]

Saiyans and Humans are within the Human species, but something magical caused the Saiyans to grow tails and etc.

Tullece is great at Wheel of Fortune.

Goku and Vegeta are actually distant relatives and that they're descendants of the original Super Saiyan from 1000 years prior which is why both of them and their own descendants are able to make the Super Saiyan transformation.

This. Besides Heroes and Broli, Goku and Vegeta's family are the only Saiyans to get to that limit.

-SSj3 was never meant to be used while being alive and it shortened Goku's lifespawn by straining his body with all that ki... which would be the reason why he left with Vegeta on Age 801 even if he was supposed to be 57 years old physically. It screwed him big time.

I like to believe that Super Saiyan 4's appearance isn't based on something genetic, but is something closer to a subconscious choice or need that the user has. Basically, I like to think of it as something like the person gaining control of the Golden Oozaru's tremendous power and then using that to essentially shapeshift into a form more suited for fighting. There might still be some primal genetic instinct in there lending a bit of a guiding hand, but I think this explanation helps explain the magically appearing pants, as well as subtle differences between the users of the form. Edit: I complete forgot, but it also works as an explanation for why Goku takes on an adult form.

The first question people would likely throw at me would be: "Then why is Vegeta's form so similar to Goku's?" Easy: either that guiding, primal Saiyan thing (kind of like how lots of people have dreams about falling or their teeth falling out--some things are just common in the mind), or he subconsciously assumed his form should look similar to Goku's, so it did.

Pretty sure it being ape-like is supposed to be because its related to the Oozaru, so how can you say it isn't genetic?

It can't be, the pants aren't even the same.

Before Chilled showed up I had a head cannon that King Cold was a failed prototype of Hatchiyak that was dumped in space to pretty much rot but was somehow able to be completed by someone who found him. It would explain why Freeza's family have similar markings to Hatchiyak and why 3rd form Freeza looks slightly similar to Hatchiyak. It would also explain why they have such ridiculously strong battle powers and it would also explain why Freeza was extra worried about the Saiyans. I should also ad that Tsfruians are cannon in my head cannon since I've always liked the thought of there being a rival race to the Saiyans that's pretty much the exact opposite of the Saiyans even right down to their name.

Pretty easily. Being ape-like doesn't prove it's genetic. If you're going to create a humanoid form for your giant ape's power, an ape-like form only makes sense. That's how the artists themselves came up with the form, after all.

My head canon is black, long, and is stuck on my head. You can load bullets into it, and it is operated by brain power...
Wait, that`s not right?
My head canon is everything, really.

I've actually been pondering the idea that Freeza's clan's mutation was caused by Tsufruian scientists, that actually works well with Chilled. This is my head canon that links the backstories of the Saiyans, Tsufruians, Machine Mutants, Freeza's clan, and the little guys we see in Episode of Bardock.


I view Episode of Bardock as an alternate depiction of Chilled's invasion of Planet Plant, as Bardock should be absent from the original version (given the way time travel is shown to work in the series). The Tsufruians aren't native to plant, they come from their own world of Planet Tsufru. The village-folk seen in EoB are the native Plantians. The Tsufruians at this point in time were a very powerful empire, and they ruled over much of the galaxy. Had Bardock not fought with Chilled, some Tsufruian space police would have eventually shown up and repelled the invading pirate. Reports of the powerful beast would have reached the ears of the Tsufruian king, who would then order a search for this creature, or one of its species, to use as a weapon. Planet Plant would become an outpost for this task, and eventually harbor a research center as a means to harness the healing capabilities of the planet's fauna.

The Plantians are treated as second class citizens. Eventually, the Saiyans arrive, bringing many diseases with them. The Tsufruians are able to engineer a vaccine, but the Plantians are denied the luxury of its use. This causes them to die off. After centuries of searching, a member of Chilled's species is finally tracked down. He is taken and researched for nearly a decade, until an experiment one day causes an incredible mutation in him. He powers up immensely, and escapes from the research facility. The monster goes on to become King Cold's father, and their family over time destroys much of the Tsufruian empire, taking over whatever would remain from the conquered.

By now, the Saiyans had been used by the Tsufruians as slave labor for some time. This, and many other things, result in a 10 year conflict between the two classes of citizens. The Tsufruian king had been on planet when the war began, but before he could escape, the Saiyans took control of some key anti-air weapons, that would prevent such a simple escape. Special measures were taken to give him a stealthy escape. Lead by Dr. Raichi, a team of Tsufruian scientists attempt to shrink the king down to a microscopic level, but something goes horribly wrong and he is transformed into a mutated parasite after the shrinking process is completed. They send him into space regardless, aimed directly at the Tsufruian homeworld.

Once arriving home, the parasitic Tsufruian king vows revenge against the Saiyans, and begins to infect the populace of his planet, transforming them into beings similar to him. Eventually, Planet Tsufru becomes known as Planet M2.

Well it just seems like it naturally looks the way it does due to these facts.

-Bardock is the first Super Saiyan
-Cell loves cornbread...A LOT, and Uranai Baba has Chi-Chi make a loaf of it for Cell
-Mr. Popo could have beaten the Saiyans, Cell, and Majin Boo with a simple sneeze but he didn't want to make it easy

[Makaioshin]

- Speaking of Yamcha's family, the reason he ran away was because he was the youngest of 15 siblings, whom were all girls. Being the only boy they bullied Yamcha and scared him often. Which is why he was afraid of girls but he never hated them. He knew not every girl out in the world was evil but he still couldn't get over his fear until Bulma came along.

I now imagine Punch-Drunk Love with Yamcha.
