My Dragon Ball Super rewrite

[Grimlock]

that depends on your rewriting ... kale is necessary for kefla and for universe 6 to be relevant in the original story

But since we are talking about rewriting, one could remove Kale from existence. If Caulifla has to fuse, let her fuse with Cabba instead. Alternatively, rewrite Kale to be a better character. Shouldn't be a difficult task.

that would not be enough to have "god level" would be another "gotenks" and the secret weapon function in the tournament of power would not be coherent in any case since the power levels rose too much.
the existence of kale and its power makes for a better "balance" since hit is not the only powerful one besides caulifla has someone to relate to. Another option is to eliminate the tournament of power so the existence of kale or caulifla is no longer necessary ...
now if you want to keep the 3 or only cabba a sadala arc could be the best option but without a tournament of power since that would mean that their advancement as warriors must be much greater

[Grimlock]

Another option is to eliminate the tournament of power

I can only relate to this. One of the best ideas I've seen lately! No tournament at all would be amazing in every conceivable way. Put the characters in better contexts, such as the "Sadala saga" as you yourself mentioned.

[Kiyoharu]

I agree with the idea of deleting the Tournament of Power.

It is one of the worst arcs in Dragon Ball.

Unfortunately there's 0 to work with in regards to that tournament. It's literally just generic nobodies fighting endlessly with nothing else going on.

[VegettoEX]

You only like Caulifla and Kale because you jerk off thinking about them.

Your opinion is irrelevant.

I feel as if this fandom cares way too much about power levels and transformations. Sorry but when I clicked on this topic I expected something different.

[Tai Lung]

although I like the tournament of power (anime) a sadala arc would be much better

[Magnificent Ponta]

When I think of things I would've liked changed in Dragon Ball Super's story, I guess the principal thing that stands out for me as a missed opportunity is the resolution of the Tournament Of Power arc - most specifically, the wish Android 17 makes.

It seems a strange decision, from a narrative standpoint, just to press the reset button like that and basically say 'no harm done!', and stranger still that the Zeno twins allow it to stand, given their determination to simply off all of the underperforming Universes at the outset of the arc - the anime tries to pass it off as a sort of test that they were hoping the winner would make, like some sort of cosmic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but while the attempt is valiant, it isn't convincing - to me, at least.

What I'd've liked to see is the Zeno twins refusing to accept the wish to just restore the other Universes as is, as there really are too many and they are underperforming, and therefore for 17 to wish instead that the other Universes are restored within Universe 7. It would've opened up a much broader sandbox for the heroes to play in, with wider potential for future stories (like some sort of Sadala arc, as I've seen on many wish-lists for the future of DBS).

It also would've resolved some other details, like boosting Universe 7's mortal level and in some way undoing the damage caused by Buu and Freeza in times past (and Moro, if he'd been conceived of yet), restoring a full roster of Kaioshins (with Shin as the slightly bemused Dai Kaioshin, as befits the winning universe), and giving Goku and co. readier access to the extra-universe rivals they've met so far, like Hit and Jiren - sure they're still around, but the Universes are self-contained. It also would make Freeza's return to rebuilding his empire more plausible.

It seems like a relatively small change in the scheme of things (and compared to other treatments in this topic), but I'd've personally found it an efficient and pleasing way of broadening the immediate horizons of Dragon Ball Super.

Thanks! I'd actually become quietly convinced that this really would be the actual ending when the show was still going on, so to find out that the wish was just a typical reset button after all made me go oh. well okay then

[JulieYBM]

I definitely would have liked to see the Tournament of Power stuff handled a bit differently. In particular, I would've interwoven the recruitment stuff into the episodes of the arc themselves and then cut the number of episodes.

Furthermore, Gokuu really should have been MIA after the Genki-dama failed until Kale, Caulifla and Jiren were the only enemies left. This would highlight the others more and more evenly space Gokuu's fighting out:

Spoiler:

Episode #37: “Jupiter aus ‘Die Planete’ Op. 32”
•Super Saiyan Blue Gokuu and Vegeta train with Whis a week after the battle with Golden Freeza. Gokuu laments that even though he told Freeza off for rushing into battle before mastering his new form he did the same with his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Gokuu and Vegeta each try to seal the leaking ki of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan within their bodies, but the strain is too great and their bodies give out after only forty-five seconds. Whis offers that while they certainly need to improve their bodies’ physical condition, what’s really hurting them is how inefficiently they move their bodies. If only they would learn to let their bodies move on their own, like Whis has learned to do.
•Opening: Gokuu slams every technique he has into Jiren.
•While Gokuu slams every technique he has into Jiren, Shin asks Beers what he means by “Jiren is already as strong as a Destruction God.” Whis clarifies that while he can’t say for sure if Jiren is as strong as or stronger than any of the current Destruction Gods it is very much like having a thirteenth Destruction God. Beers reminds Shin that he was holding back when he fought Gokuu two years ago. Jiren isn’t even pretending to feel fazed by Gokuu’s attacks.
•Title Card
•A Part: Realizing he’s in a pinch, Gokuu returns to his base form and prepares a Genki-dama. [“Jupiter aus ‘Die Planete’ Op. 32” by Gustav Holst begins playing] All members of the Seventh Universe Team offer their genki to the Genki-dama, even Freeza! Pieces of light float out of the Seventh Universe team as they thrust their hands into the sky. Within those pieces of light reflect images of their memories. As the images of memories collect into the shape of a sphere above Son Gokuu the background turns black. The pieces of genki form the shape of a completed sphere. Finally, the camera zooms out on the Genki-dama to reveal that the Genki-dama was actually just Jiren’s iris. The camera continues to zoom, capturing Jiren’s unshaken composure. Jiren wants to take the attack head on. Super Ribrianne tries to snipe Gokuu while he forms his Genki-dama, but Vegeta knocks her aside just in time. With the Genki-dama formed, Gokuu tosses the ball down on Jiren, but Jiren knocks the attack back. “Incredible! Not even Majin Buu could push back the Genki-dama!” Gokuu transforms into Full Power Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan to power up the Genki-dama, but…Jiren merely calms his emotions and is able to push back the ball with his mind alone. Resistance is ultimately futile and Gokuu passes out, falling into his own Genki-dama. The ball of genki explodes, knocking the remaining fighters around and pushing back much of the rubble so that a large crater exists in the ring. Son Gokuu…appears dead.
•Ending Credits: [“Jupiter aus ‘Die Planete’ Op. 32” continues through Ending Credits]
•B Part: Before the Zen-Ou can declare Gokuu killed by his own attack Gohan interjects, arguing that his dad has been neither confirmed to be dead or to have been removed from the ring. The two childish gods agree with this flawless logic and tell the other fighters to hurry up and get back to fighting. Gohan silently hopes his dad is still alive before quickly moving into action: Jiren is a threat that must be contained and removed immediately. Gohan sets about explaining his plan to the others members of the Seventh Universe. Jiren, meanwhile, has begun to meditate. This meditation is quickly interrupted when the Muten Roushi unleashes his MaFuu-Ba on Jiren. Jiren effortlessly dispels the MaFuuba, blowing the green wind away with a simple swiping of his hand before then flicking the Muten Roushi out of the ring. The Seventh Universe Team has lost its first member! Kuririn attacks next, using his Kienzan, but with his hearing still affected, Kuririn’s aim falters and he finds himself locked into hand-to-hand combat with Jiren before finally taking an uppercut that sends him flying out of bounds…or so Jiren thinks! Tenshinhan uses a new technique of his to replace Kuririn with himself. Kuririn escapes disqualification while Tenshinhan lands in the bleachers alongside the gods of his universe. The two Zen-Ou declare that Tenshinhan is out of bounds and thus the second fighter from the Seventh Universe to be defeated. Kuririn unleashes his newly powered-up Taiyou-ken, but Jiren simply closes his eyes. He has no need of his sense of sight to deal with Kuririn. Jiren uses a karate chop to send Kuririn flying toward the edge of the arena again…only for him to be replaced by Tenshinhan again! Jiren turns to the bleachers to find that Tenshinhan is indeed still there—in fact, a second appears right next to him! Jiren realizes that Tenshinhan is splitting himself up into multiple bodies and hiding among the rubble so as to save his comrades. The Zen-Ou duo declares that Tenshinhan is not yet defeated and reverse their ruling in light of the new evidence. After the Twenty-Third Tenk’aichi Budoukai, Chaozu tells Tenshinhan that his Shishin no Ken technique is best suited to a support role during a team battle. Having multiple bodies with which to cover a large space and support teammates gives Tenshinhan the ability to defeat enemies with narrow skill sets. Back in the present, the Seventh Universe Team gathers, hiding among the rubble, to discuss their plan of attack against Jiren. Gohan asks Tenshinhan to play a support role and he graciously accepts. The Muten Roushi asks Tenshinhan to not save him should he fall out. After he fulfils his part in Gohan’s plan he will definitely have no more stamina left. Tenshinhan bitterly accepts this. Next, Gohan turns to Piccolo and says: “Piccolo-san, you will…”

Episode #38: “Vegeta, Toward Selfishness”
•A Vegeta disgruntled with his powerlessness against Hit at the Sixth & Seventh Universe Martial Arts Tournament spars with Gokuu. Vegeta pushes his Full Power Super Saiyan self to maintain the form for two whole minutes, but afterward finds he cannot even lift a single finger. Gokuu nods his head in agreement that they both still have a long way to go before they can use this power in combat.
•Opening:
•A Part: Artificial Humans #17 and #18 rain down concentrated volleys of ki bullets upon Jiren. While distracted, Jiren is left open to a massive one-handed Kamehame-Ha from Super Saiyan God Gohan. Tackling assaults on two fronts, Jiren is left open to Piccolo’s MaFuu-Ba…but Jiren merely stands in place, unaffected! Piccolo ends the technique to conserve strength, he and Gohan flabbergasted that their attack had no effect. In the stands, Vermouth explains that Jiren is the personification of justice and thus cannot be contained by an ‘evil sealing wave’. Vegeta tightens his glove’s grips and prepares to enter the fray.
•B Part: After the battle with Zamasu Vegeta and Gokuu successfully complete five minutes of sparring in the gravity room while using Full Power Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. “A little while longer and we should be able to use the form in combat!” reasons Gokuu. “It’s not enough,” reasons Vegeta. Later, Vegeta washes away his worries in the gym shower. Blooma sneaks up behind him, takes his hand and places it upon her stomach. “Guess what?” Instantly sensing her meaning, Vegeta turns around and shows her his happily surprised face. “Oi, could it be…?!” Gokuu ruins the moments by standing up in the stall next to them and asking ‘the question’: “Are you getting fat?!” Back in the present, Vegeta watches two more Tenshinhan doppelgangers sacrifice themselves to prevent Kuririn and Piccolo from being thrown overboard. As Jiren returns to his resting position after launching his attacks, Vegeta transforms into Full Power Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and begins kicking Jiren in the head. Jiren narrowly manages to negate some of the kick’s power by moving his head, but still takes a nasty-sounding graze on his cheek and stumbles for a moment before quickly regaining his footing. Vegeta and Jiren begin trading blows. Vegeta’s theory that he would hold an advantage over Jiren after having watched how he fought goes down the toilet when he realizes that Jiren had been watching him fight earlier, too. Taking the pace early on was the linchpin of Vegeta’s plan, but that’s impossible now. Trading a few more blows with Jiren, Vegeta finally begins to realize why he’s at a loss for a decisive blow: Jiren is moving without thinking. “Migatte no Goku’i…” mumbles Beers, mouth agape. The audience is stunned to see a non-god using such a high-level technique. Whis explains that this is what he has been trying to teach Gokuu and Vegeta. Clearing his throat, Vegeta backs off and asks Gohan and Piccolo to cover him. He’s going to need to meditate so as to attempt to use the Migatte no Goku’i Whis has tried to teach him!
•Ending:

Episode #39: “Tenshinhan, a Role to Play”
•Vegeta returns to his normal form and hides among the debris while Gohan battles Jiren.
•Opening:
•A Part: Piccolo covers Gohan from a distance and prevents Jiren from searching for Vegeta while Gohan holds Jiren’s attention. Artificial Humans #17 and #18 join in on the attack, purposefully using confusion tactics to disrupt Jiren’s pace and force him to overexert himself at theirs. Jiren realizes that his foes are not losing stamina and decides to calm himself, making no moves at all. The key to victory is controlling the rhythm of the battle! Toppo and Dispo take their cue and corner off #17 and #18 from the rest of their teammates. Kuririn fires off a close-range Kienzan at full power, but Jiren uses his aura to redirect the attack towards Hit. Hit uses his stamina-consuming time-skip technique to allow the Kienzan to pass through him and safely out of the arena. Jiren dashes toward Kuririn and knocks him out of the arena, but an eleventh Tenshinhan saves Kuririn at the cost of his own role. With only one Tenshinhan left Jiren tells the Seventh Universe Team that their time is up. One-by-one the eleven Tenshinhan sitting in the stands disappear. The original Tenshinhan has called back his doppelgangers! Hiding amongst the rubble, Tenshinhan takes stock of his remaining stamina. Tenshinhan realizes he only has enough stamina left for one last attack. Jiren breaks past Gohan, Piccolo and Kuririn to begin searching through the rubble for Vegeta. Piccolo fires a Makankou-sappou at Jiren’s right popliteal fossa but with a simple mid-dash twist Jiren spins around and kicks the drill upward. Jiren begins knocking the rubble and pillars of rubble over using the gale force generated by mere punches through the air. As the rumbling grows closer, Vegeta digs deeper into his meditation. Whis’ words about moving without thinking haunt Vegeta. Finally, Jiren spots Vegeta, but a swift punch from Super Saiyan 2 Gohan dissuades Jiren’s course just long enough for Tenshinhan capture him in the Bankoku Bikkuri Shou technique. Tenshinhan finds that to help out Vegeta feels ironic, but if it means survival, he’ll swallow his pride and buy him the time he needs.
•B Part: Meanwhile, Kuririn and #17 battle Toppo. Toppo slurs Son Gokuu as a devil and enemy to justice, which annoys Kuririn and leaves #17 repeating Beers’ line that Toppo is “the type of fellow sure to find himself in an early grave.” Artificial Human #18 breaks Dispo’s left arm with a nasty kick. Artificial Human #18 calls Dispo “an awfully boring rabbit” and challenges him to a high-speed game of peek-a-boo, but Dispo gets cramps from muscle fatigue. #18 takes advantage of the repercussions of Dispo’s heavy front load during the tournament and blasts him out of the ring. Now only two contestants from the Eleventh Universe remain. Kuririn’s balance issues are still affecting him. With his hearing so out of whack it makes it difficult to line-up with spur-of-the-moment combinations and attack patterns. With it being necessary to make preordained attack patterns, Kuririn and #17’s combinations get broken easily by the experienced Toppo. Kuririn comes up with one last strategy, but before he can tell it to Artificial Human #17 they’re separates by Toppo’s attack. With Toppo now taking advantage of Kuririn’s weakness by intentionally keeping the two apart and thus unable to synch up Kuririn realizes he has only one move left: hoping his brother-in-law can figure out his next plan. Kuririn draws Toppo’s attention, allows himself to be cornered and uses his Full Power Taiyou-ken to blind Toppo, who Kuririn lured in close by allowing himself to not be able to back up any further. Toppo loses his sense of sight, but can still sense ki! Toppo begins swiping at Kuririn, but Kuririn blocks with a cross block formation. The force of the punch is still enough to make Kuririn’s arms begin to swell from the beating. Just as he’s about to buckle under the pressure, Kuririn is saved by long-range ki bullet volleys from #17. Toppo is bombarded from behind, especially on his spine, but because artificial humans have no detectable ki he is unable to dodge without a sense of sight. Toppo pulls away from Kuririn’s corner to try to regroup, but #17’s volley follows him like a swarm of locus. Toppo begins moving at his highest speed, aiming to try and find the nearest rock formation he can hide in, but ki blasts from Kuririn, who he can sense and thus dodge, consistently course correct him. Toppo is essentially trapped in a cycle of taking fire, dodging fire he can sense only to be hit by fire he cannot sense and wasting his ki on futile running. Finally, Toppo trips over some rubble and hits the arena floor hard. Kuririn rushes in and grabs the floored Toppo by his legs and begins swinging him in a circle until he gains enough momentum to through Toppo toward the arena’s edge. Toppo tries to stop himself with a ki blast mid-air, but #17 pummels the penultimate Pride Trooper with a stream of ki to send him straight out of the arena. Now only Jiren remains to represent the Eleventh Universe Team.
•Ending:
•Kuririn thanks #17 for catching on, but #17 replies “It’s nothing, really. Nii-san is reliable,” which in turn makes Kuririn blush.

Episode #40: “Vegeta, a Moment of Selfishness”
•Jiren calmly meditates while the Bankoku Bikkuri Shou contains him.
•Opening:
•Tenshinhan sweats profusely, his limbs turning to jello under the strain of maintaining the Bankoku Bikkuri Shou.
•Title Card:
•A Part: Finally, Tenshinhan’s ki output falters, giving Jiren the chance he needs to break free. Tenshinhan collapses, barely able to maintain consciousness. Gohan unleashes a flurry of kicks to stop Jiren from approaching Tenshinhan. Even if Tenshinhan cannot fight, so long as he remains in the ring he still counts as a body in case they manage to knock off all of the other team’s participates and themselves. Jiren knows this fact and shows no qualms with disposing of the defenseless. Picking Tenshinhan up by the head, Jiren pulls back his throwing arm, but before he can launch his pitch, Vegeta grabs his hand. Vegeta has finished his meditation! In a burst of light, Vegeta transforms into Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, seals the power of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan in his body tighter and tighter until the disappearance of his aura. Intense meditation and evolutionary instinct brought out by the urgency of his environment has allowed Vegeta to move up a step! Now, Vegeta can maximize the use of stamina Blue provides and not essentially fight with half of his strength! Vegeta’s grip forces Jiren to his lose grip on Tenshinhan’s head, which in turns inspires Jiren to focus on Vegeta. A high-speed twister of punches and kicks commences, leaving the rest of the contestants in awe. Whis mentions that Vegeta-san has yet to achieve the Migatte no Goku’i, but his increased speed and strength helps off-set the gap between him and Jiren. Vegeta is now fighting evenly with Jiren! Jiren aims for Vegeta’s shoulder, but finds his aim is off. The Bankoku Bikkuri Shou seems to have affected his nervous system, marring his usual pinpoint motor control. A swift punch to the gut from Vegeta leaves Jiren coughing up blood! A heavy foot stomp breaks a few of Vegeta’s toes! Blow-after-blow, the two attempt to deliver their most damaging blows. Finally, Vegeta breaks off and unleashes his biggest, heaviest Final Flash, but like the Genki-dama before it, Jiren deflects the attack. Does his stamina know no end?
•B Part: Vegeta’s stamina sure seems to know end! Exhausted by what he hoped would disrupt Jiren’s flow and exhaust his forceful physicality, Vegeta finds himself no longer capable to keep up with Jiren’s Migatte no Goku’i, even though he can now use Full Power Super Saiyan Blue without any drawbacks. “Damn, is this really the extent of my power?!” Whis shakes his head. “Yes, Vegeta-san has improved his control over his ki, but his mind and body are still not one. Jiren-san is merely more disciplined.” Vegeta tears off the remainder of his ravaged battle jacket and relaxes his tense muscles. Sensing that Vegeta has one last trick up his sleeve, Gohan, Piccolo, Kuririn, #17 and #18 move into position to shield him. Jiren calmly meditates; he isn’t giving up the flow of the tide any time soon. Gohan and Kuririn move into position to pin Jiren with a two-pronged Kamehame-Ha, but Jiren merely blocks the attacks by holding hold arms out to the side. Piccolo unleashes his Makuuhou’i-dan, but Jiren effortlessly dodges each bullet, in no way feeling caged. Artificial Humans #17 and #18 tag-team Jiren, disrupting his sense of perception and flow with varying speeds, colored ki bullets, and length of attacks. Eventually, Jiren merely grabs Kuririn and uses him as a shield, which breaks the combination attacks’ flow and gives him the opening he needs to send them flying in opposite directions for the ring-out. Finally, Jiren sends Kuririn in a third direction and turns his attention to Vegeta. Gohan tears off the sling created for him by Piccolo and wraps it around Jiren’s neck, hoping to suffocate him just enough to fall into unconsciousness. Jiren uses his ki to incinerate the cloth and uses a spinning motion and a judou chop to knock Gohan face-first into the arena floor. Jiren makes an intimidating mad dash towards Vegeta who bobs his body up-and-down in preparation for the next move. Finally, Jiren reaches contact distance and launches a punch so great it seems to ignite into fire, leaving a trail of fire and smoke in its jet stream. Vegeta digs into his memories and pulls out a technique Kakarotto once used on him during their training with Whis: utsuri-goshi! Vegeta uses the rushing force of Jiren’s attack to propel him straight into the pavement of the arena floor. The force of the slam is so great it officially splits off a fourth of the arena from the rest. Vegeta finds himself crawling away from the edge of the newly split off chunk of arena. The concentration needed to precisely catch Jiren’s rhythm, in combination with his own exhaustion and accumulated injuries, has left him struggling to move. To everyone’s horror, Jiren climbs to the top of the split-off chunk of arena to join Vegeta as the only two remaining on the new island. The chunk continues to widen in distance from the main portion of the arena, making it impossible for Gohan and the others to join in with Vegeta. “Since we can’t fly and our bodies are so wrecked we won’t be able to help Vegeta-san,” curses Gohan. Jiren gains some distance from the edge of the arena island before returning to meditating. Vegeta catches his breath, staring down the shut-eyed Jiren. A strange whistling noise catches Vegeta’s attention and the Saiyan Prince soon realizes…it is Jiren’s nose. That utsuri-goshi broke Jiren’s nose and now he’s having difficulty breathing! “Chance!” Vegeta begins sending minute amounts of ki onto the arena floor to make the dust and microscopic debris rise up. Jiren’s breathing becomes more labored, but he nevertheless continues to meditate. Vegeta makes a mad dash for Jiren, hoping to force him to tax his body even more, but Jiren has no trouble dodging slightly dodging each of Vegeta’s attacks. Finally, Jiren grabs Vegeta’s right arm and swings him over his shoulder so as to slam him into the arena floor. Vegeta uses his opportunity to grab onto Jiren’s upper front teeth. The force of the stop breaks Vegeta’s right shoulder while also causing Jiren to suck in the dirt in Vegeta’s left hand and the atmosphere. The shock of his broken right shoulder forces the Saiyan to revert to his base form! Jiren manages to finish swinging Vegeta into the floor but is too preoccupied with coughing up the dirt in mouth and lungs to follow up. Vegeta, meanwhile, struggles to focus his vision and stand. Vegeta crawls over to Jiren on his hand and knees and hammers him into the ground as he did ReaCoom all those years ago. Next, hardly even awake, Vegeta begins rolling Jiren’s body toward the edge of the arena. Rolled over onto his back, Jiren grabs Vegeta’s arms and throws him toward the edge. Vegeta grabs onto the edge of the arena pulls himself up onto his feet. In the stands, Beers realizes that Vegeta is no longer even conscious. Jiren pulls himself up and begins jabbing at Vegeta, who seems to effortlessly dodge the attack and reply with a punch of his own. The punches slip to the side of Vegeta as if he was a stone step in a river. Jiren stops as he realizes that Vegeta is no longer conscious. With his mind finally inactive, Vegeta has achieved by Migatte no Goku’i. Smirking, Jiren waits and waits. Finally, Vegeta falls backward and off of the arena. The dual Zen-Ou declare that Vegeta is eliminated!
•Ending:
•Vegeta is fed a Senzu by the Muten Roushi. Whis teases Vegeta for not even being awake for when he first used the Migatte no Goku’i for the first time. Vegeta is dumbfounded.

Episode #41: “Arena on the Edge of Forever”
•Jiren finishes meditating and leaps from the sub-arena island to the main island, ready to continue eliminating the Seventh Universe. The assassin of the Sixth Universe, Hit, strikes at Jiren only for his hand to be stopped before it can reach Jiren’s heart. “What do you think you’re doing, Assassin?” asks Jiren. “Not much, just working,” replies Hit.
•Opening:
•Rain fall eclipses all other sound. The family of Son Gokuu mourns his death at his funeral. Hit watches from a distance.
•Title Card:
•A Part: “Trying to kill me, even if means being disqualified?” asks Jiren. With a smirk, Hit replies, “Perhaps.” Out of nowhere, Kale, Caulifla, Cabba, Saoneru and Pirina launch blasts on Jiren. “A good assassin always has a back-up plan.” Jiren is forced back to the edge of arena and then knocked off by Hit. The moment Hit turns his back he instantly regrets it. Jiren blasted the air with ki so as to land against the side of the fourth of the arena that was now separated. From there, Jiren kicked off, grabbed Hit, and dragged him along with him into the gap between the two pieces of the arena. From there, a split-second battle between Time-Skip and Migatte no Goku’i commences. Hit tries to stay one step ahead of Jiren, but Jiren counters with his Migatte no Goku’i. Thanks to his motor control still being out-of-whack from Tenshinhan’s prior Bankoku Bikkuri Shou, Jiren suffers blows he normally wouldn’t, but the Migatte no Goku’i is still somehow able to give Hit trouble. The few seconds of falling feel like an eternity. Hit thinks back to that day of Son Gokuu’s funeral. Taking his leave, Hit’s steps on the rain-soaked grass catch the ears of assailants in wait. Vegeta, Piccolo, Kuririn, Yamcha, and the Son Brothers confront Hit. “We figured it was you,” Gohan reveals. A battle breaks out but Hit handles the mob attack with grace. Back in the present, Jiren gets the upper hand on Hit and uses the assassin’s body as a springboard to latch back onto the main arena while simultaneously hastening Hit’s descent. By the time Hit lands next to Champa in the audience—Champa shrieks “Shit!” when Hit appears next to him—Jiren has regained his footing on the main arena. With labored breathing, Jiren quickly covers his tracks and escapes to rest among the rubble.
•B Part: Back in the past, Gohan and the others are beaten and bloodied. Hit is about to kill Goten, leading Vegeta to begin to unleash his trump card. Suddenly, Goten is freed…by Son Gokuu (still wearing his funeral outfit)! Yes, he survived the assassination attempt! At the last possible second he figured out the secret to Hit’s new killing technique and was able to just barely avoid a fatal blow. After a day or so in a death-like state, he awoke! Hit and Gokuu resume their match. Gokuu proves that he wasn’t bluffing and unleashes ki into Hit’s finger when he strikes Gokuu’s heart. Hit’s attack is neutralized and his nervous system thrown out of whack by Gokuu’s precise shock. After trading a few blows, Hit realizes that both he and the still injured Gokuu are now at a standstill and will have to continue their battle some other time. Back in the present, Hit has been taken out of the Tournament of Power! Hit was the leader and ace of the Sixth Universe Team, so the loss shakes them up quite a bit, especially Cabba. In the stands, Champa berates ‘Shit’ (he still can’t remember Hit’s name) for losing, especially so early and with so few bruises. Hit shakes his head, disappointed in himself for being so careless against such a weakened foe. This catches everyone’s attention. Champa asks Hit what he means, but Beers interjects: “He means that that Jiren is at a third of his norm!” Vegeta nods in agreement, Jiren’s stamina has been slowly chipped away at, especially after his nose was broken. If the others can get him to overexert himself then his defeat is secured. Vermouth admits to himself that Jiren is indeed injured and worn down to only a third of his usual stamina, but that won’t stop him. Jiren’s mind is still unwavering, which means he might as well not be impeded. Meanwhile, Gohan approaches Cabba with an olive branch: both of their universes are exhausted, injured and without their aces. They should work together to survive as long as possible. Caulifla agrees for the time being and tells Cabba to shake on it. Cabba asks why he is all of the sudden the leader, to which Caulifla says she and Kale only joined up because of Cabba. Cabba and Gohan shake on the alliance (to which the two Zen-Ou find a delightful twist) and set about deciding their next course of action. While their teams fought against Jiren the rest of the teams have kept quiet, slowly recovering their stamina and setting into place their plans to take advantage of their exhaustion. Fighting closely together is the only option now. Next, the members of the Third Universe begin to make their move. Katopesla leads the strike against the united Sixth and Seventh Universes, but Gohan and Cabba quickly prove that alliances will be the deciding factor when their alliance wipes out the remaining members of the Third Universe effortlessly.
•Ending:
•Jiren meditates, slowing his breathing as much as possible so as to not over-tax his lungs now that his nasal passages are so blocked.

Episode #42: “Cabba, the Weight of the Torch”
•The sounds of shoes and boots tipping and tapping on the roughened arena floor and the sound of the pillar at the middle of the arena thundering deeper and deeper through the arena make a harmonious melody. Tip, tap, chung, Tip, tap, chung. Tip, tap, chung. The repetition is broken only by the screams of fighters as they are thrust off of the combat arena. Now, only Gokuu, Gohan, Piccolo, Artificial Human #17, Artificial Human #18, Freeza, Cabba, Caulifla, Kale, Saonel, Pilina, Ribrianne and Jiren remain.
•Opening:
•A Part: Freeza fires a Death Beam at Cabba’s right shoulder. With Jiren and Ribrianne in hiding the evil emperor proposes that the alliance with the Sixth Universe is now over, since they will eventually have to fight one another anyway. Super Saiyan Cabba tries to do battle with Freeza but is no match for him nor is he able to suggest they continue the alliance. Finally, Cabba achieves Super Saiyan 2 out of frustration for his failure to fulfill his promises to Hit and Vegeta. Freeza nevertheless continues to dominate Cabba. Finally, beaten black and blue, Cabba asks Freeza to win. Impressed by how persistently different Cabba is compared to the Saiyans from his universe, Freeza promises to win the Tournament of Power and knocks Cabba out of the ring. Meanwhile, Piccolo and Gohan battle Saonel and Pilina respectively. The two Namekians display resounding teamwork that forces Gohan to cover for Piccolo and take the brunt of the damage. Noticing this, Piccolo demands Gohan use him as a distraction. Gohan reluctantly agrees but the plan backfires and Piccolo is knocked unconscious.
•B Part: Artificial Human #18 finds her prey and sets about challenging the depressed Ribrianne with regards to the truth of her ‘love’. Ribrianne realizes that her love has been impure and selfish up to this point and through #18’s taunting and challenges resolves to reform her use of love. As if by instinct, Ribrianne’s body begins to draw on her small love for others—rather than other’s love for her—to power her attacks. Artificial Human #18 still holds the advantage, though, and sends Ribrianne flying out of the arena.
•Ending:
•Artificial Human #17 finds Jiren and disrupts his meditating. #17 tries to draw Jiren into overexerting himself, but Jiren stands still, knowing that if he isn’t on the offensive he can’t waste his ki against a foe with endless stamina.

Episode #43: “The Ultimate Combination! Caulifla & Kale”
•Bored out of their minds, Caulifla and Kale decide to hunt down the missing Son Gokuu and see if they can fight him.
•Opening:
•With the battles having moved away from the epicenter of Gokuu’s Genki-Dama, Caulifla and Kale investigate the now barren area free from enemy attack. Kale wonders if they’ll actually find anything. Caulifla affirms that they will, “I can smell that old man!” Kale slips while trying to join her ‘ane-san’ atop a mountainous pile of rubble and causes it to collapse. When the dust settles Caulifla exclaims “Aha, I found it!” Kale cleans her eyes of dust and sees Caulifla holding up Gokuu’s shredded dougi top. “You smelled his shirt?” “Yeah, it smells just like the old man!” “All that’s left of him is his shirt?” “Naw, why would his shirt survive but not him?” “But then…where is he?”
•Title Card: Kale happily smelling Caulifla’s laundry before putting it into the washer while wearing a perverted expression.
•A Part: The two Saiyan girls begin to take fire from an unidentifiable source. The two girls quickly and seamlessly begin covering one another while checking their surroundings. Someone’s attacking them while hiding! Kale realizes that they need to clear the area of rubble and quickly wipes away the rubble with ki streams. Meanwhile, Caulifla leaps into the area to provide an easy target to distract their hidden foe from noticing Kale’s plan. A figure leaps out of the way of Kale’s attack only to be pinned in mid-air by the two. “Damn!” Gokuu has been caught! Yes, it was Gokuu attacking from the shadows; he survived the battle with Jiren! But wait…he’s naked! Yes, the Genki-dama destroyed all of his clothing. Kale is embarrassed and hides her eyes while Caulifla’s nose bleeds as her eyes lewdly scan Son Gokuu’s heavily detailed musculature. Caulifla tries to get Kale to look but when she does Kale blanches at finding anyone other than ‘ane-san’ even remotely attractive. Kale yells at Gokuu to get dressed only for him to ask “Does it really matter?” Gokuu uses the basics of judou to lead his two foes’ attacks and let them fall to the ground under their own weight. Hyped, Caulifla chest puffs: “So, yer alive after all, Old Man!” Scratching his nose, Gokuu mumbles something about his name not being ‘Old Man’ then takes his usual form. Caulifla transforms into Super Saiyan 2 and Kale transforms into her normal Super Saiyan form to conserve stamina. The two overwhelm Gokuu with their team work, prompting Whis to tease Vegeta about how he and Gokuu-san should learn to take a page from those two. Gokuu raises his ki to Super Saiyan 2-esque levels and begins to minimize his movements, hoping to conserve his stamina as well. Caulifla tells Gokuu to teach her Super Saiyan 3, but Gokuu just replies “It’s useless.” Caulifla and Kale both become frustrated, especially Kale because she can see how much fun ‘ane-san’ is having and she doesn’t want to lose yet. Caulifla transforms into her berserker form and catches everyone else’s attention.
•B Part: “Gokuu’s alive!” everyone celebrates at this prospect, but Vegeta says that Kale will be a problem. Helles demands that somebody restore Gokuu’s clothing but none of the angels (and or the male Destruction Gods) even care. “Besides, Gokuu-san won’t stay still long enough for any of us to properly materialize new clothes on him!” Gokuu raises his ki further and further, unveiling more and more power to match Kale. Caulifla thanks Kale for fighting with her and the two begin to take a decisive lead against Gokuu. Finally, Gokuu assumes Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form and takes a combat stance! Vegeta theorizes that Kakarotto was studying how he was networking his ki while he was in hiding and meditating to replicate what he achieved during the battle with Jiren. Whis theorizes that despite taking a beating from Jiren and his own Genki-Dama Gokuu’s doing so well because of how long he spent meditating unperturbed. Gokuu knocks Kale and Caulifla back to their normal forms, prompting the two to go into hiding. A few seconds of Gokuu searching for the two pass before he is confronted by a warrior wearing…Potara?!
•Ending:

Episode #44: “An Omen of Selflessness”
•Before the tournament Champa presents Caulifla and Kale with Potara. “These secret weapons are only to be used in the greatest of pinches, so save them until the end!” In the present, Caulifla reminds Kale of the Potara. “As a team we were able to force Son Gokuu to go all-out, as one we’ll be able to surpass Gokuu’s full power!”
•Opening:
•The merged Caulifla and Kale introduce the still-naked Gokuu to their current form: Kefla. Kefla transforms in a slightly buff green-haired Super Saiyan form, just like Kale’s form.
•Title Card: Kefla taking a ‘selfie’.
•A Part: With Gokuu standing still long enough at last Whis materializes the same dougi he wore when they first met onto his person. “It’s so nostalgic!” Gokuu and Kefla go at it. The two are even at first, but the longer the battle runs the more control Kefla gains over her power. Gokuu is overcome by his injuries from earlier and Kefla’s raw power. Because of the intense synchronization of Kale and Caulifla’s minds Kefla’s ki bullet storms feature frightening speed, accuracy and nearly unpredictable flight patterns. Gokuu reverts to his base form after taking dozens of ki bullets as direct hits. Just as he is about to receive a stunning kick to the head Gokuu stumbles forward and Kefla’s kick misses. Kefla attempts a few more blows, but Gokuu seems to stumble right around them. Finally, Vegeta hops out of his seat and exclaims “This is…!!!”
•B Part: “This is…the Migatte no Goku’i!” Vegeta declares. Whis agrees, “Gokuu-san is indeed using a form of the discipline. It’s almost as if it is a premonition that he is on the cusp of something…” Finally, Gokuu catches Kefla’s leg mid-kick, much to her surprise. Gokuu’s head rises from its gazing at the ground to reveal a silver glow in his eyes! [“Saikyou no Battle” performed by Kushida Akira begins to play] Suddenly, Gokuu’s aura erupts. Gokuu’s power suddenly soars to new heights and Kefla soon finds herself on the receiving end of a nasty beating. Kefla backs off long enough to regain her composure before transforming into a Super Saiyan 2. Gokuu skillfully aims for Kefla’s vitals so as to slow her breathing and injure her joints. Finally, Kefla fires off her Crush Cannon at full power, but Gokuu counters with a close-range Kamehame-Ha that sends her flying out of the ring and destroys the Potara. [End insert song “Saikyou no Battle”] The Zen-Ou both declare that both Caulifla and Kale are eliminated. Caulifla curses their luck, admitting that they still hadn’t unleashed their full power.
•Ending:
•Gokuu begins slowly walking toward Jiren.

[Matches Malone]

To find out that the wish was just a typical reset button after all made me go oh. well okay then

What makes things worse is how long the arc was, so to just end it like that with 0 changes to the status quo made the whole thing feel pointless.

[emperior]

I definitely would have liked to see the Tournament of Power stuff handled a bit differently. In particular, I would've interwoven the recruitment stuff into the episodes of the arc themselves and then cut the number of episodes.

This was a nice read. I like your ideas a lot. Is there more of this?

Yup~!! It's been a while sense I did a revision so it's always possible some details might change but I do have more ideas!

I found the bit of Goku fighting naked quite funny.
And I particularly liked how you put in some judo throws into the mix. You may have gotten a bit too detailed in some bits regarding the fighting, the nose bleeds, the anatomical stuff etcetera but it’s definitely a cool addition though a bit un-Dragon Ball like.

I will definitely give your other stuff a read. Nice work!

Ah, yeah, I combine ideas from other media since I consume a lot. I really wanted to depict the marathon feel of the tournament. I've worked myself to exhaustion before and it's such a traumatizing feeling. Whether it's because I go on a four hour walk or a ninety minute bike ride or even a ten hour work day in retail there's a sort of fear that becomes bred in one's heart when they reach their limit. I wanted to convey that into the battles a bit, while also giving the character's highlights of their own. Jiren is--at least until the final battle--a force of nature. He's like facing down a tsunami or hurricane. Hell, I suppose for me he is like working a 45-hour week during the Holidays at a big box retail store.

I also felt like I wanted to see how the characters would react in those situations and then improve. I felt like showing too much Gokuu made it hard to depict his improvement, so he goes missing to meditate and rebuild his ki as well as study and learn from Jiren and Vegeta. This also meant I could move the Kefla fight to later in the tournament.

You'll notice that I also play around a little bit with the structures. I originally wanted each arc to have a different storytelling structure but I don't think I covered that as well. The Beers arc is "casual, lackadaisical Dragon Ball" while the Golden Freeza arc is "Dragon Ball if it were about the antagonists". In the Champa arc I wanted to see the characters begin fights in the hole. That's why I have Gokuu break a hand and try to hide it throughout the rest of the tournament. I also wanted to see Vegeta go through a marathon of sorts by basically having the fight three taxing four taxing enemies. I also thought it would be nice to highlight the humor of the ridiculousness of the whims of the two Destruction Gods. Last but not least, because I don't like the Kaiou-ken I replaced it with Gokuu and Piccolo teaming up again ala the Raditz battle. I'm concerned that I ditched what I thought was a really good ending in having Gokuu give up but alas.

The Future Trunks arc had story elements set up earlier in the Champa arc. I felt like having Zamasu and Gowasu introduced in that arc made it easier to build up to their characters as a subplot. Maybe it telegraphs the plot a little here but I think it works. Furthermore, I removed Vegetto because I hate fusion. I feel like it's easier to depict Gokuu and Vegeta's growth the way I did it in #24-25.

[Tai Lung]

When I think of things I would've liked changed in Dragon Ball Super's story, I guess the principal thing that stands out for me as a missed opportunity is the resolution of the Tournament Of Power arc - most specifically, the wish Android 17 makes.

It seems a strange decision, from a narrative standpoint, just to press the reset button like that and basically say 'no harm done!', and stranger still that the Zeno twins allow it to stand, given their determination to simply off all of the underperforming Universes at the outset of the arc - the anime tries to pass it off as a sort of test that they were hoping the winner would make, like some sort of cosmic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but while the attempt is valiant, it isn't convincing - to me, at least.

What I'd've liked to see is the Zeno twins refusing to accept the wish to just restore the other Universes as is, as there really are too many and they are underperforming, and therefore for 17 to wish instead that the other Universes are restored within Universe 7. It would've opened up a much broader sandbox for the heroes to play in, with wider potential for future stories (like some sort of Sadala arc, as I've seen on many wish-lists for the future of DBS).

It also would've resolved some other details, like boosting Universe 7's mortal level and in some way undoing the damage caused by Buu and Freeza in times past (and Moro, if he'd been conceived of yet), restoring a full roster of Kaioshins (with Shin as the slightly bemused Dai Kaioshin, as befits the winning universe), and giving Goku and co. readier access to the extra-universe rivals they've met so far, like Hit and Jiren - sure they're still around, but the Universes are self-contained. It also would make Freeza's return to rebuilding his empire more plausible.

It seems like a relatively small change in the scheme of things (and compared to other treatments in this topic), but I'd've personally found it an efficient and pleasing way of broadening the immediate horizons of Dragon Ball Super.

I suppose your idea is that by creating an "omniverse" and thus the mortality problem would be solved in addition to the inclusion of villains would not feel forced

yes i have thought about it too and it's a great idea

YES! This would have been awesome!

[BWri]

What do you think about this version of the story fellas?

To be honest none of this appeals to me. You seem to have focused on all the parts about Dragon Ball that I don't really care for.

Spoiler:

-Too much focus on battle power. You didn't really even come up with a story here, just power scaling and a training regiment.

-The numbers are too inflated. I've always hated bloated power scaling.

-You've stripped out all the interesting characters and didn't replace them with new ones. It's all Saiyans and gods of destruction.

-Goku and Vegeta are more identical than ever in your version. I already don't like this in Super and your version made it worse.

So we have drastically different tastes, but I do agree that I'd focus more on the SSG transformation instead of jumping straight to SSB. SSG has a lot of potential and I like your idea of showing them mastering that form completely before moving on to the next one. Missed opportunity there.

I've got a few ideas for a 'rewrite' of Dragon Ball Super. They're not all that finished, though.

I'm working on one as well, though I went with the lead-up to the tournament of power, expanding the two days before the tournament to two months. It's the most interest period of Super to me, because of all the stories that could've been told. It should honestly be an arc all its own ... which is why I felt the need to write it. I do have some ideas about previous arcs though.

One of the ideas I came up with is introducing Zamasu and Gowasu during the Champa arc. This way, I'm able to make the Champa arc and Future Trunks arc work as either two movies or a thirteen episode TV series.

This is always a good idea. Foreshadowing does a lot for a story. I like how Toyotaro did it with Champa and Vados in BoG.

Some rewrites I'd prefer to see in previous arcs
BOG:

Spoiler:

-Introduce Champa and Vados early like the manga did. Just a glimpse to setup the next two arcs.
-No SSG Ritual as it was depicted. No friendship circle. Change it to something more desperate and less convenient.
-Make it more clear that Beerus was just messing around by the end of the fight and that he looks forward to the true fight with the Super Saiyan God later.

ROF:

Spoiler:

-When Freeza is revived, he comes across Champa and Vados in space. He notes Champa's similarity to Beerus and shows deference while trying to learn who he is.
-Eventually, Frieza reveals his plan to destroy 2 Saiyans on Earth, who Champa, through Vados learns is on Beerus' world.
-Champa decides to use Frieza as a ploy to further distract Beerus and Whis so he has Vados train him in Universe 6 before they return later for the Super DB in U7.
-Frieza's Golden Form is now powered by god ki thanks to his training with Vados and Champa. Vados also trains two of Frieza's strongest henchmen to provide decent training partners when he gets back to U7. Tagoma and Shisami.
-RoF is still mostly the same. Gohan hasn't lost as much power but he is still rusty. Piccolo's improvements are shown. Yamcha, Chiaotzu, #18, and Goten and Trunks also participate in the battle.
-The battle isn't just on 1 little island. It spreads to West City and a little further beyond.
-Some cameos from other martial artists in DB. Some of which have improved, some of which are badly beaten by Frieza's invading forces.
-Piccolo doesn't die and he and Gohan manage to defeat Frieza's main henchmen with the help of Gotenks before Frieza defeats them while compressed.
-No SSB here. The reveal is that Vegeta also has SSG and that he and Goku can use it at will now. Base forms are already god tier but SSG augments that almost like KK.
-The ending is the same, with the time rewinding, but this time Whis saves Vegeta and Goku instead of everyone else. Vegeta comes back, angry and pushes his SSG to the next level so the aura and hair combo looks like literal flames. He single handedly defeats Frieza with an augmented Galic Gun, because in my version all big ki attacks have augmented forms due to the influence of god ki. Full power SSG creates a flame like effect on attacks like GG and KMM.

U6:

Spoiler:

-Beerus conflicts with Champa over his involvement in the training of Frieza which kicks off their dispute and the start of the Tournament of Destroyers.
-The recruitment is more in-depth with Whis looking at a brief history of the universes greatest battles. He himself chooses Goku, Vegeta, Buu, Gohan, and Piccolo from amongst the currently living fighters because he says fusion will not be allowed. He runs the list by Goku and Vegeta and they pose no objections. Goku says that they could maybe wish someone back, but Whis says it would be poor form to do so. Goku then wonders if he brought Frieza back, if the Tyrant would just join U6 anyway.
-Champa has been spying on his brother's strategy meeting, of course, and puts together his team to counter Beerus'. Vados provides some information on each fighter and they begin recruiting. Cabba, Frost, and Hit are once more recruited.
-Botamo is expanded on and is considered his universes version of Majin Buu. This time, however, it was Frost who defeated him. Frost is actually a hero, the main hero, in fact, of Universe 6. He's the Goku. Frost and Botamo are both around the power of Majin (Kid) Buu.
-Champa discovers that he doesn't really have any other fighters powerful enough to compete directly with Goku and Vegeta outside of Hit, who is feared as the Grim Reaper of his universe, a title of nearly godlike status.
-Champa does the unthinkable. He goes to Namek in U7 and has them gather the Dragon Balls to make one desperate wish. He wishes Frieza back once more to complete his team and promises the tyrant that he can lord over the mortals of both universes should he win.
-Frieza's inclusion creates tension on the U6 team, but their overwhelming might threatens to crush U7.
-There's a lot more but I'm tired of writing now lol.
