I do think if Radditz did live, it would have brought their levels so much higher and faster then originally even with Vegeta as their ally later on. The 3 of them would be pushing each other harder and harder. Sibling rivalry would be a very serious culprit for significant gain!

[@daikothesaiyan]

As legendary as MasakoX's version of this is, I have to admit, in my opinion, this has to be the best rendition of this what if I've watched to this day, and I've watched countless what ifs by you, him, and others, and there has been several versions of this what if concept, and despite MasakoX's reigning supreme in my mind all this time, I have to say, yours was the better, a little if not quite a impressive margin, considering, as previously stated, how legendary his was

[@randomguy1912]

This gave me kind of an odd idea: What if Chi-Chi got back into fighting? This would start within the time skip between the Buu Saga and Battle of Gods. Feeling nostalgic about her encounter with Goku in the 23rd World Tournament, as well as seeing Gohan and Goten more focused on fighting, Chi-Chi gets the idea to seek out the Dragon Balls in order to restore her youth, and getting Bulma involved would have her want the same wish as well; wish is granted, Chi-Chi gets back into fighting, and since Goku failed to get Bulma to give Elder Kai a kiss, she promptly does so on the condition that he unlock her potential as well, just so she can (at least try to) keep up with the Saiyans. I like the idea of Beast Chi-Chi, so that's why I thought of this.

[@barstool9156]

The problem is that we don’t know what “Beast” is a part of. It could be due to the unique Rage state that Gohan has (and if so, could Broly unlock such a state. Are the anger abilities different?) or is it just a form unique to Saiyan Physiology? Could it be a form similar to Ultra Instinct where it is also a Technique, meaning that you can learn to achieve such a form, maybe from the Kai (due to the similar design motifs) We don’t know enough about Beast to say that Chi Chi, or really anyone other than Gohan can unlock it.

[@randomguy1912]

@@barstool9156 It is rather theoretical at this point, since Akira Toriyama can't be arsed to give us enough details; although the dialogue from Piccolo in XV2 suggests that anyone can get the form, as the humans that trained under Kami before Vegeta and Nappa arrived on Earth could have had access to the form at some point; it's likely that their power levels weren't high enough to unlock it just yet.

What ifs like this being produced as a show would have me 9000x more excited than the current dbs

[@MasterTemplar781]

About the Moro thing i might be wrong but if a Hakai touches anything even if it touches a single atom of a being or thing that being or thing would be erased as it slowly dissapears even if the hakai just touched it slightly. Which in this story happend to Moro so his skin shouldn"t be slightly erased Moro would've died. I'd also like to add using UE and UI at the same time is a bad move. UE makes the user stronger if the user takes damage in any way. Meanwhile UI makes the user dodge anything that could damage the user. So either you use both meaning UE is useless bc you dodge all damage. Or you force yourself to take damage making UI useless. Even switching in between forms won't do much bc even tho UE makes you strong it will only make you super powerfull if you take damage. So: You take some damage using UE You attack a few times using UE You dodge using UI You attack with UE You take damage with UE You dodge with UI You attack with UE. So you can develop a good strategy if they make an attack that won't do much damage you use UE and let it hit you to make you stronger. If it does alot of damage use UI to dodge so you wont be damaged too much. Then use UI to get to your opponent and only use UE when you attack while using UI for everything else.

I do, the whole concept of raditz realizing he has family left and betraying frieza and the other saiyans makes a bit of sense. I get saiyans aren’t supposed to be sentimental but we’ve been shown time and time again that’s not exactly true. I even think that if raditz wasn’t a throw away villain, him and Goku could easily get vegeta and nappa on their side to betray freiza. But it’s just an opinion and doesn’t matter unfortunately. I think that’s why I’ve been enjoying peoples fan fiction, it really just lets you experience a hypothetical that is cool and interesting.
