If The Z Senshi Could Wish Upon Shenron To Temporarily Receive One New Ability For Each Member, What Should They Get?

Post by theherodjl » Wed Apr 19, 2023 9:17 am

Say another big tournament or competition of some sort is going to go on between universes and Beerus declares that they each member of the team should temporarily receive one new ability to aid in victory, what all should each of the following receive after wishing from Shenron?
- Goku
- Vegeta
- Gohan
- Piccolo
- Android 17
- Android 18
- Krillin
- Tenshinhan
- Roshi
- Freeza/Boo(if Freeza isn't available)

It can be an ability that has been seen before or something new, they can't all wish for the same exact ability though.

Goku and Vegeta already have WAY too much under their belt. Not really sure what to give them, since they have a lot of crazy abilities.

Gohan? Ooooh Gohan. Playing off his already incredible intelligence, let's say that Shenron doubles his ability to process information--or maybe quadruples it if we wanna go REALLY crazy. Meaning Gohan has the ability to calculate the best course of action and relay it to his team while also recognizing what plays his opponents are more likely to make based on what he learns about them during their fights. But to balance this out, since Gohan is already kinda arrogant when he gets to a higher power, let's say that he becomes highly opposed to criticism or the possibility that he could be wrong about his calculations--boosting this arrogance higher when he's right most of the time. This means that when a foe doesn't act as he predicts (we know this would happen it's Dragon Ball) Gohan is more liable to screwing up because he gets in his head about it.

Piccolo should be granted the ability to tap into the Dragon Clan abilities that Kami had prior to them fusing. Perhaps the ability to materialize weaponry, objects, etc--I could see Piccolo forming a maze out of thin air to stall opponents and buy the others more time. Entombing foes in katchin, sealing others away in simple objects, using the power of omniscience to tell what an opponent is doing across the battle field. All combined with his new Orange state too--he'd be a force to be reckoned with!

17 and 18 could totally be given the ability to absorb energy. Sure, you might think it to be way too small of a power up, but they're already capable of fighting for ages without rest. Combined with the ability to absorb any energy projectile thrown at them no matter the size, it means they're forcing their opponent to fight up close--which they can nullify by drawing back and throwing their foe's energy right back at them. In short, this means that anyone fighting the androids would be forced into melee or get picked off.

I think Krillin could do with a power up regarding protecting others or acting as support. Hell, he's a POLICE OFFICER in canon now. Maybe he derives energy from others or can form a shield using the energy of others and drawing it from allies? That could be really cool! Especially if he's around Goku and Vegeta who can donate more energy, meaning Krillin's shields could be impervious. Or, in tandem, it could make his offensive capabilities around others FAR stronger. Imagine a Hakai-empowered Kienzan when he's acting as Vegeta's backup.

Tenshinhan could greatly benefit from one simple wish. Energy theft. Each time he damages an opponent, he draws strength from them. Meaning each Ki Ko Ho could be a full replenish, and Tenshinhan could continually blast groups of foes with Shin Ki Ko Ho without dropping out. Though it might work less if someone is far stronger and can survive more than one super attack--resulting in him needing to wear them down in a typical DBZ style fight.

Roshi... maybe just being wished back to his youth for better stamina during his fight. Like with Goku and Vegeta, he already has a crapload of cool unique techniques.

Buu could benefit from a wish drawing out the personalities of those he absorbed, or maybe just certain traits. An intelligent yet kind Buu without the malice of Super Buu. Or maybe even the ability to switch out for the Grand Kai at will considering he's better with the whole "protecting the universe" thing. Like switching from offensive mode to defensive.
Gohan is a neeeeerd.
