Rezzing the Saiyan race would be a bad idea. Without Freeza and crew giving them planets to go literally apeshit on they'd likely try to usurp Vegeta far too many times. Grim dark theory is Vegeta has to kill them all off to keep the menace down. Comedy option is the Saiyans try to kidnap Goten and Trunks to make them real Saiyans and the plot ends with Gotenks accidentally killing off all the Saiyans by showing off.

Just retcon it that Pan inherited the Mystic powerup. She gets to kickass now that she's aware she's 160 million times stronger than before and it explains why GT decided to make Gohan transform again.

Toriyama is going to reveal that Yamcha is the best Baseball player in the history of earth. He's just crap compared to guys who bench press mountains.

I loved that, of all things, Goku is kind of bad at flying. He picks it up last amongst all the main dudes at the end of Dragonball, and relies on the Nimbus until, well until Namek. Either Freeza or Goku even comments in the Freeza fight that Goku isn't really as comfortable fighting in the air as Freeza is, and he much prefers fighting on the ground.

I think aside from Freeza, when there was no ground left, for all DragonBall is iconic for sky punch fights (and beam duels), Toriyama keeps most of the fights on the ground, which is a nice contrast to, say, Bleach where Kubo leaps at any chance for combat to take place in a featureless void.

DBZ filler with endless ineffectual diagonal slashes would be hilarious.

It's apart of Dragon Ball Onlines backstory, Gohan writes a book titled "Groundbreaking Science" about Ki manipulation, leading to a resurgence in Martial Arts and humanity in general learning to fly and such. Goten and Trunks open up a Ki-Infused Sword Dojo based on his findings.

So yes, Gohan mapped out the science of Ki and pushed humanity to new heights for the DB Online backstory.

Krilling founded the New Turtle School to teach students cooperative attacks and abilities (since his experiences had taught him that supporters were necessary even for the biggest fights) meanwhile Tenshinhan founded the New Crane School to teach overwhelmingly powerful Ki and Life draining techniques because things like the Spirit Bomb spoke to him as "You can kill anything by liberally applying enough force."

Yamcha did nothing.

Another thing I found interesting thinking about it, Dragon Ball is sort of lucky for the comments made to Toriyama as he wrote it, like during the first world Tournament, everyone went to Toriyama "So Goku's obviously winning right?" and eventually he just decided "No, Goku's going to lose because nobody is going to see him losing coming." and in the end it told a great story about there always being someone better, that the world was always vaster than you thought with more powerful foes.

Which when you think about it, is something BoG used as its message to. Only instead of Roshi, Beerus delivered the message that as strong as Goku was, he still hadn't reached the summit and become the strongest in the universe.

Yamcha was a one hit wonder with cat loves food during the namek to androids interval and went on to be baseball player by Buu. He's spends all his money on escorts that look like Bulma.

You kind of have to love that Gohan with about ten extra years of training (counting hyperbolic time chamber) dies like a jerk to two weaker androids, but his past self ends up beating Cell.

You'd think everyone he knew and loved actually dying would have been a bigger drive.

Future Gohan couldn't tap into his rage pool as well. All the horror of the timeline probably forced him to emotionally harden like other Saiyans. Also Toriyama probably didnt have SSJ2 thought up yet.

Edit:Also apparently Future Gohan didnt use the HBTC.

Scouters exploding was a safety measure. If you're in a fight and your scouter explodes that means you need to get the hell out of there and pray Freeza sends the Ginyu Force in.

Earth must be viewed has a near desert shithole if sending a baby with a powerlevel of like 6 is viewed as enough. Freeza was probably going to barely make a space-profit off of it.

Mr Satan could would be a better SSG than Goku. Saiyans can barely find 5 of each other. Hercule can power up with the power of 500 million fans. Anyone who is a fan of pro wrestling knows how the power of the crowd is a dangerous force.

:psyboom: Was the rest of the story just that bad?

The Quincys are ghost nazis that were last put down a thousand years ago. They were created by the son of the Soul King, and for "reasons" said son created the Quincy to be a fodder force for him so he could become powerful enough to destroy the soul king. Everyone loses a fight so Soul Society pulls out Aizen who in a professor X wheel chair did more in 3 chapters than has been done in 3 years of Bleach. The Bach vs Captain Monk fight was good, although we all knew Captain Monk was boned from the start. Also Ichigo is half Quincy half Shinigami Half Human half cat half god half space lizard.

It would make for a really boring extended arc though. Also there's a pretty consistent theme through the series that all that hyper bulky poo poo is counter-productive and wasteful; Frieza's 100% form, Perfect Cell's power weighted form and the Super Saiyan 3 transformation are all tremendous failures used in desperation. Broly is basically Dragonball tryhard powerups being vindicated

Broly would have been better served as an example of what happens someone lets the rage that powers early SSJ transformation completely consume them instead of the oh god he's the acutal Legendary Super Saiyan. Vegeta's horror in the first movie shouldn't have been about how strong Broly is but, instead he saw that he could've easily become Broly if he hadn't grown an attachment to Bulma & Trunks and eventually everyone else.

In my theoreftical reboot (fanfic) Broly should've been destroyed by self detination in an attempt to blow up a rediculously large area, like an entire solar system cause why not, he's in a wierd area of somewhere between Android 17 and Perfect Cell, or give Krillen the true moment to shine and actually kill someone with Destructo Disk. Asssuming you just don't abandon the idea Broly all together.
