What if they just brought the Past-Earth Dragonballs along with them in the time machine? Then they could revive Piccolo/Kami and Trunks can fix the rest of the universe from there.

They've been dead for over a year, bad things happen when you revive someone who's been dead for over a year.

Then again, the bad thing is that they revive as they died, and considering Kami died from Piccolo dying, he should revive in perfect shape, thus bringing back Piccolo as well...hopefully not how he was killed by the Androids, because I doubt his head was spared. The problem is that you're then in the same situation about reviving the rest of the Earthlings, you're bringing them back only to immediately die again.

I feel like putting the Dragon Balls in a time machine would be the last straw before any remaining semblance of sanity flies out the window. Fuckin' alternate Cyber-Raditz is going to show up in a time machine and steal the past's Dragon Balls while Goku was trashing the Red Ribbon Army, or something. Tien's third eye lets him see when things are from the future. Past and Present Shenlong get in a fight. I don't even know.

Percel's stories of a three way war between King Piccolo, the Red Ribbon Army, and Majin Buu were great. Too bad we never got any Dragon Ball content in Xenoverse 1. Maybe they can fix that in 2.

But yeah, Xeno Trunks is not good at his job of protecting the timeline, he either gets body-jacked, mind controlled, or ends up loving the timeline up worse. There's a reason he's not the main character.

I thought the Dragon Balls were powerful enough after Dende's tweaks that they could bring back someone years after they were dead. after all, Frieza was dead for almost 20 years and was able to be brought back

They also used the dragonballs to restore the entire Earth from being blown up, the balls can clearly fix some old corpses. They got three wishes to work with:

wish 1) Restore the Earth and all dead people to how they were before the androids showed up
wish 2) Resurrect everyone on earth that died after the arrival of the androids (Trunks will need to go beat up Babidi again, shouldn't be a problem)
wish 3) Wish that Zamasu never wished to destroy the super Dragonballs

Shenron's 1 year limitation on resurrection was specifically for large vague amounts of people. Like "Bring back everyone killed by Frieza and his henchmen." He can revive an individual that died at anytime.

I think each time they revive someone he just makes up the stuff about what state their body comes back in. Sometimes he'll turn a ghost into a living person who then has to run back down snakeway to get back to Earth. Sometimes he'll shove their soul into a newly created body, but leave it floating in space. Sometimes he'll dump a pile of semi-alive giblets into a pile on the ground.

Nah he revives people int the state they were when they died it heals the wound that kills them but a decomposed body is out of bounds probably on the same rules that prevent reversing death from natural causes. goku just has an in with the celestial bureaucracy to get a whole new body when he gets revived and since majin buu was technically the kai's fuckup they probably threw in that for the earth too.

The state Shenron revives people depends entirely on how much he likes the person. Krillin got blown up on an alien planet? Sure he'll fix him right up. Frieza got chopped up into tiny pieces and vaporized? Hope you brought a bucket.

Really, I'm just making fun of him.

"Raditz is a coward" honestly feels plausible. He's winning the fight with Goku and Piccolo at first but he never seems "in control" even at first like other villains, whether it's him freaking out about how they can "alter" their power levels or freaking out when Goku chases him with the Kamehameha Wave.

It's not overstated but it's more prevalent than the first times I watched this. Raditz not being a good fighter is more than just him being a precursor to stronger villains, he really is written like a bully who only gets by by being a big fish in a small pond.

I dunno. It makes me appreciate his character more.

Hmm. You might have something.

Xeno2 he's an instructor, and he takes it kinda badly when you improve past him. Turns out he really wanted an underling of his own, as he was tired of getting it in the neck from Vegeta and Nappa for being lowest on the totem pole. Your character goes 'OK then, I'll keep on'. It's an odd thing. There's other small bits here and there, also along the same lines. 'Massive inferiority complex' seems to be the thing. And can you blame him?

Still, he's raking in the money like every one else, and he's ALWAYS called up because Goku's First Death is critical, so how bad could it be?

The odd thing is, most of his stuff was useful in Xeno1 and still is in Xeno2. I wish I knew the rules on Paralyse, though.

Xenoverse 3 should really just go to town in creating new scenarios to explore new character interactions. We've seen no real canon interaction between Raditz and the other saiyans for one. For someone who is probably the first enemy of a lot of DBZ games, he's not been fleshed out much as far as I know.

What if Raditz never came to Earth, or at least not until later. The Saiyan/Namek/Frieza sagas don't happen, but the androids will still show up, but Trunks won't even exist. And Cell won't have any Frieza material in him if he ever shows.
