Dragon Ball in the style of Tokyo Akazukin.

Jesus Christ, how horrifying...yet infinitely curious. :shock: :twisted:

DBZ in the style of Kamen Rider Black RX.

Half a year after the downfall of King Piccolo, Son Goku has gotten a job of a helicopter pilot in a business owned by Bulma's family. Goku is later captured by the Cold Empire and offered a place in their group. When Goku refused, his Nyoi-bo was shattered and he was thrown into space where the sun's radiation mutated his Nyoi-bo and he mutated into Saiyan Rider Kame RX. With his new powers, he battles the Cold Empire and thwarts their plans to take over Earth.

Hellz yeah I'd watch it!

DBZ in the style of Rocky Horror Picture show.

All I know is that Dr. Freez-N-Furter needs the Dragon Balls to make a man or something. I suck at this.

Dragon Ball in the style of Law & Order: SVU.

"In the West Galaxy's justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In West City, the dedicated crime-fighters who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite duo known as Great Saiyaman and Saiyagirl. These are their stories."

CHUNG CHUNG.

When Yamucha is found dead (again), and it seems like 'things' were done to him prior to his demise, it's up to Saiyaman and Saiyagirl to find and prosecute the offenders. Was it Tenshinhan, as the broken leg indicates? Was it Bulma, as he appears to have been seriously emasculated first? Or perhaps it was Vegeta, after Goku let slip something he saw between Bulma and Yamucha when he was a child...that he also saw just last week. As the suspects grow, the tension does as well, and in the end, only one thing is sure - this won't be the last time Yamucha dies.

Dragon Ball Z in the style of The Fairly Oddparents

Goku is an average kid that no one understands
Mom and Dad and Chichi always giving him commands
Chichi: Bed twerp!
Doom and gloom up in his room is broken instantly
By his magic little balls that grant his every wish
Cause in reality they are his Odd Shenron, Fairly Odd Shenron
Whiskers and whiskers,
Loony Crowny red eyes,
Odd Shenron, Fairly Odd Shenron,
Really odd, pea pod, buff bod, hot rod,
Goku: Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guave juice,
Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake,
Odd Shenron, Fairly Odd Shenron,
They let you live when you are a kid,
Fairly Odd Shenron!
Chichi: Yeah right

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.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

DBZ in the syle of…Yu Yu Hakusho (“Carry On My Wayward Son” plays in the background)

Shortly after the events of Z, Goku is killed saving Gohan during an attack by a new threat. However, the other world is actually surprised to see him this time.

The son of King Enma (Koenma), offers to resurrect Goku in exchange for his services in tracking down escaped souls from the afterlife.

He teaches Goku a new technique called the spirit gun, before returning him to Earth. Now Goku and his friends face new challenges from the spirit realm.

Basically everything would more or less be the same except reworked for the DBZ cast.

And since this one kinda fooled me at first (a long long long time ago):

DBZ in the style of… A private detective show
1 Corinthians 13: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Except the anime. Never the anime.

Dragon Ball in the style of Fullmetal Alchemist.

Um…I’m only up to Volume 9 of the manga, so I guess one-armed future Gohan would take the role of Edward Elric, while future Trunks would take the role of Alphonse Elric, having had his soul transmuted into a mechanical Android body (a.k.a. Android #16’s body). Piccolo would be Scar, believing himself to be an "instrument of divine justice" from Kami-sama himself, taking revenge for the Civil War between the Earthlings and Namekians. Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa take the roles of Lust, Envy and Gluttony, while, just for the lulz, Gokuu takes the role of Greed.

That is brilliant. Why do I get this terrifying feeling that Nappa would be Lust?

I would think Goku would be Gluttony. "Can I eat it now?"

Also Freeza would have to be the main antagonist. I won't spoil you, but... yeah.

Agreed.

Think we should make it a game to find the seven deadly sins Dragon Ball counterpart.
