What If The Buu Saga Tournament Was Never Interrupted?

[@davidclegg3397]

For me this "Tournament arc" would of been better that what we got and would lead into the buu arc really well imo.

[@HerotsLament]

Yeah it's a shame we never got one last real martial arts Tournament, the announcer said it himself, these budokai became what it was because of those fights but with confined rules and regulations. It gives fights a unique flavor and determined real skill over brute strength.

[@Chaser547]

I feel that Goku would have used the final match to train Gohan much like Roshi did in the guise of Jackie Chun though let him ultimately get the win. After all Goku had already attained his goal of winning the tournament when it mattered most to him he'd likely want his son to feel that thrill but also show Gohan that he can't slack off in his training since he wouldn't be there to save the day all the time.

[@BradyKaynee]

Imagine if Gohan won the tournament and returns to high school as the World Champion and he was the "gold fighter". I wonder how his classmates or the media would respond to that. I mean what would be more of a nightmare, taking on Buu or having high school kids and the media hounding you 24/7. I would believe Mr. Satan would try to get in on Gohan's popularity and say he did take him in as his student from the Cell tournament but trained him from a different approach than his other students. I mean he did something similar with Goten.

[@calebglasscock7392]

Tien and Yamcha really should have been in this tournament they wouldn't have made it very far but at least it would prove they are still strong warriors.

[@Epsilonsama]

Gotta be honest from a thematic standpoint the tournament brackets are all messed up. It was obvious it was a ruse by Toriyama. I would re-arrange the spots so Goku and Vegeta is a semi-final bout and Gohan vs Goku is the final match. It would tell a better story. Also I would book it so Goku loses in the end. Have him transform into Super Saiyan 3 but make it so Gohan Rage allows him to last enough time for Goku to get tired and have him run out of stamina for Gohan to win in the end. It would be a good way to put Gohan over while showing him that there's always another ceiling of power to break. It would be a good way to transition Gohan into the main spot.

I always felt a lack of closure in the Tournament arc. I'm kinda disappointed by the amount of cool fights we missed out on, especially Goku vs Gohan. Also I wish Piccolo would have at least tried to fight Shin and then have Krillin be the one to freak out. Thanks for this video.

[@antihero627]

I think that if Goku and Gohan fought in the final match, Goku would use it to educate his son and give him one final training lesson; he would spur Gohan on like he does with Uub in cannon and their fight would be like it was in Super with Goku taking the lead and Gohan catching up as he's forced to bring out more power. Then Goku would remind Gohan that he left him protect the Earth in his place and advise him to find time to train along with studying while warning him that there could still be fighters much stronger than Spopovich that'll do much worse things to his girlfriend if he can't protect her. As their fight continued Gohan would understand Goku's lessons and would promise to keep on training to get stronger; Goku would then remind Gohan that he once said that he could be stronger than himself and proceed to show him his SSJ3 form which would shock everyone especially the Z Fighters, Shin & Kibito, Yamu and Spopovich while freaking Mr. Satan out. Astonished by this new power Gohan is then told by his father that if he had trained as intensely as he did during the 7 years he would have achieved this form since his potential surpasses Goku's. Goku would then demonstrate this power by throwing an attack into the heavens that would allow his son to sense the force behind it and be motivated to attain SSJ3. Goku would then power down to SSJ2 and decide to finish his fight with his son; the two would rush at each other for one final strike and Goku would throw the fight just like Roshi did with Tien. He would weaken his blow allowing Gohan's attack to knock him out of the ring and thus making Son Gohan the new Martial Arts Champion. Gohan would ask why his father did that and Goku would tell him pretty much the same speech he gave to Piccolo about why he decided to let Trunks and Goten defeat Buu instead of himself along with the advise he gave Gohan before he supposed rematch against Dabura in canon; Goku embrace his son and tell him to prove that he didn't pass the title of Champion for nothing before leaving for Otherworld(after spending the rest of his day with his friends and family that is if there's no Majin Buu saga.) Gohan would understand his father's lessons and assure him that he would make him proud.

I think Vegeta would end up even angrier since there's no way they could have a proper SSJ2 fight in the tournament ring surrounded by all the spectators. One of them would fall off the ring while they're holding back to not kill anyone and Vegeta would be extremely unsatisfied, throwing a tantrum to get another fight. So, Majin Vegeta probably still happens.

[@henrymcbark7337]

I think both might of stayed Base. Maybe. Only for the fact that if both knew they both achieved SS2 the need to both go that far wouldn't be needed as their base forms would really shed light the most.

[@kevinguan8499]

I can pretty much imagine videl cheering when satan loses, though I think that this would motivate hercule to train even more than in the original to catch up to 18(even though we all know that he’ll never get there)

[@The_NJG]

Post this what-if: Goku’s story: Shin actually goes to Goku and asks him if he wants to come train with him. Although the strength gap is astronomical, Goku takes his offer, and goes up to the world of the Kais. Soon, their training would lead Goku to pull the Z-Sword, although it is unnecessary, they all thought it would speed up his training further. Eventually, he breaks it, and Old Kai is freed. Old Kai thanks Goku, and offers the Ultimate form to Goku. Again, Goku thinks about this, and he accepts, although with slight regret, because he wanted to get it himself. Now you have Ultimate Goku, with the power of Super Saiyan 3 in his base form. Of course, the time passes by, and BoG begins with Goku being dead and stronger. Also, I think at that point he’d master Super Saiyan 3 and experiment with the Ultimate Form, trying to blend it with Super Saiyan. When Goku meets Beerus and Whis, he gets beaten by Beerus, however, it was a MUCH closer fight, with Goku using Super Saiyan 1 + the Ultimate Form. He’s still trying to master SSJ2/SSJ3 with Ultimate, because why wouldn’t he? BoG goes on like normal, until the SSJ God part. They actually bring Goku back, and he becomes the Super Saiyan God like normal. Goku is far stronger than what he was in the original story, and in Goku V Beerus Round 2, the fight is much closer, with Beerus outputting more power. Still, Goku takes the L, and goes on to train under Whis with Vegeta. Vegeta’s story: After being beaten by Goku for the final time, he accepts that Goku is the best fighter in the Universe, and instead of competing with Goku, he competes with himself, pushing him to higher levels of power. In BoG, there isn’t much changed, however, without the Majin power boost, I’d think he’s slightly weaker. After BoG, Vegeta decides to go with Goku and train under Whis like in the original. Vegeta would probably also ask Goku what the Ultimate form was, and since Vegeta has a rival again, I’d think he’d go after it too, and now, Goku and Vegeta are almost on even ground, with Goku edging him out because he can mix his forms together. And that’s really it, nothing else in my mind would change, other than our two Saiyans are much stronger, while everyone else stays the same, except the boys don’t learn Fusion and Gohan doesn’t get Ultimate.

[@We_Are_I_Am]

Wasn't it explained somewhere in the series that (at that point in the buu saga), Goku would get very little if not no boost from the Elder Kai Ultimate powerup, due to the fact that Goku was already at and surpassing his maximum potential on his own?

[@We_Are_I_Am]

Not too say he wouldn't still get a boost in the simple fact that he would be able to maintain SSJ3 levels of power at all times, since there would no longer be a time limit from stamina drain.

@@DerpaTure9503 It was a 3v1 vs Raditz so its an example of superior numbers. But I can give plenty of examples. examples of skills beating power and or making the fight much closer then it should have been. Jacki Chun(Roshi) vs Goku - Goku was slightly stronger/faster but ultimately lost due to a lack of experience and Roshi's diverse move-set. Roshi ultimately won by baiting Goku into a head-on clash and he made use of his longer legs to win the fight. Android 18 vs Vegeta - Relatively equal fighters but 18 played into Vegeta's vanity and led him on a chase to drain his energy letting her mop the floor with him as a result. Goku vs Cell - The entire Arc was about learning to master Super Sayian and go beyond it but in this instance Goku was weaker than Cell but was able to put up a fairly even match due to his sheer skill, true Cell was holding back but Goku's instant transmission + Kamehameha would have killed Cell had it not ben for his insane regeneration. Super Buu vs Gohan - Gohan was mopping the floor with him but Buu making use of his absorption ability and planning managed to absorb Gotenks and turn the fight around.

@@DerpaTure9503 1) Yes are we are discussing skill, lets team up is hardly an inventive strategy. 2) And I gave you 3 examples of DBZ fights to pick from. 3) Yes, but they were relative to one another but 18 was stronger. 4) Would have killed any other Villain had from previous sagas. 5) Got stronger by utilizing a skill and manipulation to bait out Gotenks to absorb him in the first place.

​@@DerpaTure9503 1) Their strategy was to grab his tail, Goku holding Radditz so Piccolo could charge up the special beam cannon was an act of desperation. Because Piccolos technique was incomplete and took far too long to charge. 2) All of which were valid you just refuse to accept them, but here is another for you. The very example you just used with Piccolo and Goku. Both Goku and Piccolo were much weaker then Raditz but by utilizing a potent Ki attack they were able to overcome the gap in power. 3) I mean I alluded to the fact 18 was stronger in my original post.... 4) Because its a combination technique that can be used at any point?? Simply because it failed to kill Cell doesn't negate its validity. 5) Buu would have been destroyed if he didn't have the ability to absorb people or failed to tricked Gohan into letting Goten and Trunks to use the fusion dance. That is skill.

I hope if and when Super gets to the 28th World Tournament we get a more fleshed out saga. Maybe instead of Goku rigging it so he fights Uub right away, they both have other opponents before facing off. Goku could still fight Uub at his strongest if they both just eat Senzu Beans. Goku giving Uub a special bean that restores his stamina might hurt Goku's approach at getting Uub mad at him to unleash more of his power, but it doesn't have to. Uub still has never met Goku, and for all he knows he only gave him the bean so he can have more fun beating him up or to gain his trust or something. I also hypothesize that soon [as I type this Super is on the Granolah Saga] Frieza will begin passively ruling his empire and have a son named Krieza. If this happened in the current age, by the time the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament rolled around, Krieza would be four years old. And considering this is Dragon Ball [and he belongs to an alien race] I would say he is totally old enough to be a warrior and compete in a potentially retconned tournament. Maybe he fights Uub, loses, and develops a rivalry. I'm also wondering if the character Nareg, whom Vegeta noted was very powerful and wondered if he was the reincarnation of Kid Buu, turns out to be the reincarnation of Cell, and maybe even becomes Vegeta's student. Nareg looks like he could be about 15 or 17. If he was either of those it would mean he was born not long after Cell died, meaning it didn't take long for him to repent in Hell. Considering how he had a shattering loss and who he is made of, I don't think it's impossible for Cell to have repented relatively soon after death. We already know villains don't necessarily take long to repent and reincarnate, just look at Uub. Unless King Yemma decided to be irresponsible, I feel like Kid Buu was able to repent before being reincarnated thanks to his simple mind and lack of a previous understanding of right and wrong. He was like a blank slate, so a short time in Hell did the trick. The only real favor Yemma did for Goku, I think, was having him reincarnate as an Earthling. All of that stuff could be entirely wrong, but I feel like at this point the original flash forward at the end of the Buu Saga is no longer canon. Some things will be different, so who knows how much or how little?

[@miltondathird]

I honestly don't see Vegeta having super saiyan 2 before the majin boost. Why? 1) Vegeta was pretty sure of himself until he witnessed Goku go Super Saiyan 2 and knew right then and there that Goku was stronger than him. That means a lot. That means Vegeta was carefully gauging Goku's base knowing he was stronger until he whipped out Super Saiyan 2 for a brief second. That means Vegeta felt he was as strong or stronger than Goku's base but as soon as he saw Goku's Super Saiyan 2 for just that moment he already knew he lost and the transformation is simply 100 times base. 2) We get a sense of the power scale of the magic of being a majin. Looking at Spopovitch, a character that is already in his prime at max output was completely and utterly outclassed by Hercule. Hercule is pretty much the strongest human on the planet who has not mastered chi. Spopovitch couldn't fly or manipulate energy but once he got the Majin Boost not only was he stronger than Hercule but also even stronger than Videl. That is a huge jump in new power for Spopovitch. Fast forward and use that same logic on Vegeta. If Majin Vegeta going Super Saiyan 2 ultimately ties him with strength with Super Saiyan 2 Goku then it means one of two things. A) Vegeta's base was vastly inferior to Goku's base or B) the majin boost has little to no effect to Vegeta and him giving up his soul was a bad decision and or bad writing because we know for a FACT that the way Vegeta is written he doesn't take hand outs and for him to take a hand out for just a little boost in strength doesn't seem like Vegeta at all. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 😆

[@juliocabral6949]

Don't need to overthink it. Vegeta admits it. He used the Babidi magic to get to that level.

[@rexviperfan]

1: Nah, Vegeta isn't surprised at all that Goku goes SSJ2. He just says "oh, you can go Super Saiyan too?" What impresses him is when Goku goes full power in SSJ2, Vegeta knows at that point that his full power doesn't match up to Goku's. Vegeta is not surprised until Goku goes SSJ2. 2: What Vegeta ended up getting *was* only a small boost in power, and that's why it's so shocking. Normally Vegeta would never accept a hand out, no matter the amount of boost he would get from it, that said, I think Vegeta would be more reluctant to get a bigger handout than a smaller one. So this doesn't really help your point. How it is portrayed (that Vegeta achieved SSJ2 beforehand) is good writing, because it shows to what extent Vegeta was willing to go to have his duel with Kakarot, and how he was willing to go to an extreme just to close the small gap between them.

I think Goku would of beaten Vegeta by ring out. However due to the tournament and safety restrictions, they would do a proper rematch after the tournament away from people. Goku would advance to the finals with Gohan and let Gohan win after a decent fight/training session. Goku's dead so he has no reason or desire to win the tournament, so he would allow Gohan win and use the prize money for the family. Back to Goku and Vegeta, I feel Goku would win again due to his SS2 form being stronger than Vegeta's (no majin power up). Vegeta, while defeated, might be more accepting of it. However I don't think Goku would use the SS3 form due to the restraints in his 24 hour window and it would just crush Vegeta spiritually.

[@DSan-kl2yc]

I disagree. 18 knows she can't beat Goku and Vegeta or Gohan either. She would still get a bigger payday from throwing the fight. I think she would just lower the price to 10mil or maybe even half that. Which is still better than no money.

[@chozenboi]

Nah I see Gohan beating Goku in an upset styll

[@RuanAntunes7]

Goku & Vegeta's battle would've destroyed earth..... That's if they decided to fight seriously which I'm almost certain that they would

[@aarohalme1020]

I think Goku might choose to return to earth. It has been 7 years and no major threat rose up, and i think he might want to fight Vegeta again. This is of course complete speculation but i think it is at the very least plausable. Especially since Gohan will also be a worthy training partner with some help.

[@Borisss953]

Vegeta would beat Gohan and maybe the finals.Goku would enter the SSJ 3 state ,but would not be perfeted and he would just exit the ring..after he beats down Vegeta.Vegeta would be the winner.Stop guesing why.He would be entering in rage mode..Goku vs Piccollo,Vegeta vs Gohan (Finals Vegeta vs Goku )

[@goldblast1145]

Unless Vegeta was mad and wanted a chance and a bigger boost of power

[@jaydenrodriguez17]

If the team agreed to not go super saiyan(even though goten and trunks did it anyways), wouldn't android 18 win easily? Maybe he would go super saiyan during the fight. Who knows.

[@jonathanhensley6141]

Actually get to see goku and vegeta go at it. Does make me wonder if they all would take a dive to save satan's fake reputation.

[@krejziks3398]

Imagine fight Vegeta vs Mr Satan, hahahaha.

[@blastershadow360]

To be honest, I could see Goku using all his energy in the battle and ending up eliminated due to abandoning (since baba would come to take him to the other world again) and vegeta would go on At the end, I'd say Vegeta would beat Gohan since he hates the fact that Gohan has all the potential but just doesnt want to train Because Toriyama wouldnt give us the "Goku is stronger than vegeta outcome"

[@jsmithers.]

Nah. Remember Goku fought a stronger Majin Vegeta for a long time, using a lot more energy than he would have in a tournament ring, AND he fought Fat Buu as a SS3 for a while. Not to mention turning SS3 again, and fighting Yakkon on the ship. There's just no way Goku uses that same amount of energy against a weaker SS2 Vegeta in a tournament ring. Goku would definitely win but the battle would still be fun to watch.

[@Flynn94]

I bet Goku would have used up all his time on Earth and so whoever he fought in the final would win by default

[@leetfukk]

Woulda rather seen this than the Buu arc

[@sonicsaiyan07]

Here's something to consider: What if Gohan returned to the Time Chamber BEFORE the World Tournament. Would he be able to regain at least some of the power he had back with Cell in time for the Buu Saga to begin?

[@tevincollins2869]

Yes if he went into with piccolo

[@powerjolt7215]

Shin's plans would be screwed. Vegeta would actually find Gohan challenging and want to best him. Goku would be proud af that his son is still as strong as he once was (stronger). Gohan most likely wins against Dabura with miniscule effort and Goten gets stronger. Man would it be Hype if Vegeta and Gohan started training together.

[@thekingbradable]

He’d regain that power and more

[@ndiaz1982]

Before I get into the video, I'm calling it shin v goku in the finals.

[@onedopegamer]

Vegeta did not get super Saiyan 2 right there he's applying that Goku broke through the wall just like Gohan

[@finalemblem1388]

Except gohan only turnt super cause piccolo told him to gohan said on the plane ride there that they shouldn't turn super cause people could recognize them from the cell games

[@pranavbadrinathan6693]

I think Buu would still be revived - Just because Goku would have so much more energy than Gohan that it would basically fill the meter. I know skipping the Buu saga is very common in DB what ifs, because Buu being revived was due to some very uncommon things happening in succession, but this way we also get the Buu saga with Buu and the tournament. Best of both worlds!

[@kurlexchoi]

Goku chose not to revived after Cell game tournament for them to have peaceful life. When he return just for that one day, Buu Saga interrupted mostly because of him than the Tournament itself.

[@aldoaviles698]

What if goku killed the supreme kai when goku threatened the supreme kai if he didn't get out of the way of goku fighting vegeta then beerus would of felt it the pain & b gone if supreme kai got killed by goku just saying if there could b a video of that please

[@undiscloseddesires6816]

Beerus would be dead as the Kai is linked to him.

[@undiscloseddesires6816]

Better question would be why Whis didn’t jump in, which is obviously a retcon because he wasn’t a part of the story back then.

[@LSMMIKE]

He wouldn’t, that goes completely against his character.

[@slinux8420]

MY BRAIN HURTS FROM READING THAT Sentence also this is what happens when a discovery writer writes a shonen

[@jobsidian4219]

Did you come here from carthu dojo most recent video?

[@YumiYuna.]

Feel like Hercale will talk his way to win the tournament. Since half of them don't care about the money.

[@YumiYuna.]

@Sun Wu-Entai 90 true but if could talk 18 like that, it probably he could do the same with them.

[@YumiYuna.]

@Sun Wu-Entai 90 when it say they was tired of his lies? I was the show alot and read the manga. Never hear them say it.

[@tobygarton2574]

Such a great video thank u mike!!

[@hamza361]

Gohan in the buu saga was only a little weaker than the Gohan who fought cell. People really exaggerate how much weaker he got.

[@Jayjay_07]

I would love to watch this tournament in a kind of a spin off mini series

[@viole3367]

Honestly, killing even being rusty in the boo saga wouldn't be flicked, this isn't anyone that were talking about, it's krillin he would likely lose still, but he would put up a good fight

[@D-money813]

out of the whole saga outside of goku and vegeta fighting, the best fight was mighty mask versus eighteen. did not watch yet but if the tournament was uninterrupted goku would have smashed everybody. vegeta allowed himself to be possessed because he saw goku had an extra gear against yakkon plus he saw how much longer the magic could make an ordinary fighter so it would work wonders for him. unpopular opinion: dragon ball Z is a great show with iconic villains but the very best part about the show is the filler. .... now playing your video

[@godemperorofmankind3.091]

you: goku would have won me: NANI?

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

Surprised to see you here.

[@fabsd5878]

I disagree that goku would have beaten vegeta with ease in the tournament because it's a tournament, vegeta would want to win by any means necessary to say that he goku in his own field. Remember as great a fight that goku is he still makes a lot of mistakes.

[@legendarygreen-hero359]

What happens next Beerus comes to earth for the ssg and without buu he more happy and enjoying the party,but still he want the ssg, so they ask the dragon which this would lead to 2 things A bring goku back Or B. Vegeta ask the dragon to bring his brother to earth....(TBC)

[@Barron1337]

I predicted Goku vs.Gohan in the Finals.

[@jayglizzyxgaming8812]

I honestly think that would of been infinitely more interesting tbh and if piccolo stayed in to

[@calebglasscock7392]

The fact is having Hercule/ Mr. Satan as the champion and public hero is the only way for Goku and the Z Fighters to keep their true power and backgrounds a secret the media would turn them into freaks over night and they would never get to have a normal life.

[@luke8979]

I would've had supreme Kai (or shin whatever you wanna call him) beat Gohan just so we could have supreme Kai fight Goku and yes I would have Goku beat supreme Kai

[@stephenquinn7931]

What if Piccolo jr was born with frieza's potential

[@redhunter8731]

He takes over the earth, story over.

[@wearblackclothes]

Piccolo would have killed that suprime Kaiser. Really bugged me that he didn't molly whopp that fool

[@jay_the_visionary]

8:39 . I’m awesome.

[@oneheckofabanana2016]

I think that the fact that Goku was up against Vegeta in the first round already strongly suggested that the tournament arc would not last. It's unlikely that a tournament arc is going to have the main fight during the first round and still continue on to the finals. The main fight should be the finals or in rare cases at least come close to it.

[@rexviperfan]

If you consider really the only main contestants were Gohan, Goku, Vegeta and Shin (whose power was unknown at the time), then it's not that far-fetched.

[@AceAcumen]

Toriyama does every other better character than Goku so damn dirty. Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo. Wtf.

[@acemaster2409]

Make a video that discusses does Goku need Vegeta to win in DB franchise

[@Skorndrow-1]

I think the winner would have been the winner of the fight between Shin and whoever won fight 14 (18 V the winner of Goku and Vegeta), since they promised to not go SS and the winner would be decided by ring out, I doubt even Gohan would have gone SS. This is under the asumption that Shin and Kibito were acting on themselves and would follow after whenever stuff went down after the tournaments end.

[@dam5336]

If a saiyan ages rapidly when they turn 80 what year would that happen to Hybrid

[@finnmccoolio9500]

I don't understand why you'd partially think Piccolo would bow out to Supreme Kai due to the power difference? Piccolo has faced foes more powerful than him on numerous occasions

[@georgedj4937]

I think piccolo is stronger than supreme kai, and withdrew bc of him sensing godly ki.

[@tomquan5928]

I feel like the Buu Saga would still continue by the time Gohan fights Dabura, as Majin Vegeta would get serious and becomes Majin Vegeta as the story continues. Even if the tournament is over, Goku and Vegeta would probably have a rematch without going SSJ3.

[@kevinguan8499]

In this scenario though I would’ve thought that krillin would get his energy absorbed

[@weirdtuberjournalism9757]

I like to believe that the events of bog, still happened except that goku had his spirit body

[@syedhamza4871]

I was looking for this what if for time

[@jermtwitero]

Best part of the video is 8:39 xD
