Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

What if Goku knew IT when he fought Freeza and teleported himself to him just as he was about to fire off his Kamehameha x20, would that kill Freeza or just end up doing more damage?
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Gohan would end his statement with "April Fools!"

If he commits and attains SSJG powers before starting his training, he'd be far above Goku and Vegeta.

But then he'd lose his powers after he leaves the planet because he stopped training for 5 whole minutes.

What If Gohan actually trained in those 7 Years time after Cell? Would he maintain the gap between he and Goku (without or with SSJ3)? Could he defeat Boo too?

I reckon if he really buckled down and trained hard he could have reached SSJ3. But given the drawbacks of SSJ3, I don't he would have been able to handle the transformation properly to defeat Majin Boo in time. But if he's pragmatic, I really think he could pull if off and defeat Majin Boo.

Well, given that when he entered the ROSAT, he was weaker than most of the cast besides the humans, including his SSJ father who accompanied him, yet he came out stronger than everybody and subsequently elevated to another dimension altogether, I'd say he'd have surpassed the SSJ3 level WITHOUT going SSJ3. SSJ3, to me, is a forcefully executed transformation that's only attainable by saiyans with special bodies (i.e. dead or fusion). I think it's very possible for a SSJ2 to rise to that level, which is pretty much confirmed in recent material.

I mean just look at the gap between SSJ2 Teen Gohan and Majin Vegeta. Both SSJ2s, but one's much greater. Kid Gohan was about that level. In 7 years, his power would have escalated if he had the proper training methods.

What if the z-warriors discovered the z sword on earth during the cell games? Could they have broken it? Also if they did, how powerful would they be if old Kai unleashed all they're potentials?

I think Cell Games Gohan and Goku were stronger than Teen Gohan when he pulled out the Z-Sword (I forgot whether he went SSJ2 though...), so they'd likely be able to pull it out. If Old Kai unlocked Kid Gohan's potential, he'd probably... be exactly as strong as Ultimate Gohan, so yeah. Gohan would make Cell his woman.

Oh wait, Gohan already did.

They probably wouldn't be able to break the sword since we don't know if katchin exists on Earth. Even if it existed I doubt they could find such a large block.

What if vegeta was able to train for as long as he wanted in the hyperbolic time chamber? How powerful would he have become by the buu saga?

I don't think he would get too far actually. I think he'd perhaps get real good with SSJ2, but that's it. Future Gohan trained, and he never got anywhere special. He remained weaker than Yardrat Goku. Gohan needs someone to help him reach his potential. He needs a master to help him. If Gohan say trained with Vegeta, then there's no question he could possibly have been able to overcome Fat Boo and help Vegeta get real strong. However on his own he doesn't get amazing gains.

Gohan would be the only one to really benefit from the Z sword. Everyone else would get stronger, but wouldn't get as insanely powerful. I say this as it'd totally end up breaking at some point.

However that changes if we count LOLRAGETA who has the power of bullshit at his disposal. Why Babidi must have been a total amateur at bringing power beyond limits as Vegeta clearly had a shit ton more after that boost he got.

Also when we likely get the Jesus Goku has limitless potential line like in Battle of Gods, Goku falls into the same category of suddenly having far more potential than the half breeds for some reason. He also got healing powers seemingly so he just needs Piccolo/Boo's transfiguration to really be everyone combined.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

She'd be proud that Goku manged to not only survive but also started a family and became the strongest warrior in the universe. She would then have tea with Chi Chi and Bulma and get along quite well the rest of the Dragon Ball gang considering how gentle and relaxed she is.

So what if Kami know the fusion dance and teach to Tien, Krillin, Yamcha and the other Z fighters at the look out during the Saiyan saga?

They kill Nappa and Vegeta and live their lives in peace until Future Gohan arrives, smacks Goku in the face then uses the ROSAT to power up before asking Shenron where Gero is at which point he murders him to death.

Yamhan and Chaorin kill Nappa and probably defeat Vegeta, but I guess Vegeta could win if he transformed into Oozaru.

Stronger than post ROSAT Kamiccolo but inferior to second ROSAT Vegeta and Trunks.
