History Fanfic / WhatIfGokuWonAgainstMasterRoshi

* ManBitesMan: This is how Goku wins against Jackie Chun.

* VillainTeamUp: While a villain in a loose sense, the alliance between Piccolo and Goku is one based around their mutual hate for Tenshinhan and Kami.

As the title suggests, he explores his interpretation of an alternate version of the story where Master Roshi's plan to instill a valuable lesson to his students [[ForWantOfANail falls through]] by means of his prize student landing the final blow. As of early June 2021, this series has covered all of the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' saga and has gone up to the start of the Android Saga.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Goku and Tenshinhan's World Tournament match ends with Goku intentionally sending Tenshinhan careening into the car, seriously injuring him. This serious unsportsmanship from Goku results in his friends finally cutting off ties with him while Tenshinhan, surprised at how much Master Roshi shows him empathy despite earlier breaking Yamcha's leg, sets him down a path of redemption.

* SparedByAdaptation: A weird example: Vegeta tosses Jeice into the path of Ginyu's Body Swap, and kills Jeice-in-Ginyu's-body, leaving Ginyu-in-Jeice's-body unconscious, but alive.

* HeelRelization: [[spoiler:Chi Chi’s death causes Goku to realize that he’s the real cause of his problems, and gains Super Saiyan 2 as a result which allows him to defeat Cell.]]

* SwappedRoles: Goku's characterization is actually more akin to the StockShonenRival archetype that characters like Tenshinhan (originally) and Vegeta had, while Tenshinhan develops into the more archetypical "heroic" character.

->''"Today, we are going to change one moment that has defined Goku's entire philosophy as a fighter. And no, it's got nothing to do with food. (Although, actually, that would be kind of an interesting What-If. Let me know down in the comments.)"''

* CrossCounter: Much like in canon, this is how Goku's fight with Jackie Chun comes to an end in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. The main difference is [[CombatPragmatist Goku catched Jackie Chun's foot in his mouth]] to lessen the impact, thereby maintaining enough stamina to declare himself the winner.

** While not actually a villain, Goku slowly develops a more antagonistic outlook over the course of the first two parts. By the third, Tenshinhan has now effectively become TheHero of the story, with Goku breaking off all ties with his former friends when they side with Tenshinhan's decision to spare Piccolo Jr. Even when he ends up joining Raditz and Vegeta, he still is plotting against them to help protect earth.

As the title suggests, he explores his interpretation of an alternate version of the story where Master Roshi's plan to instill a valuable lesson to his students [[ForWantOfANail falls through]] by means of his prize student landing the final blow. As of late August 2020, this series has covered all of the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' saga and has gone up to the introduction of Super Saiyan.

* CelibateHero: While Goku was something of a ChasteHero in the original, here he completely blows off his promise to Chi-chi because he only cares about getting stronger.

* KarmicJackpot: Tenshinhan's new found humility results in him being taken in as Kami's disciple instead of Goku. Tenshinhan even pays it forward where, after the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament, he decides to open his own dojo, taking on Yamcha and Chi-chi as his first pupils.

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Piccolo. Without [[MoralityPet Gohan]] he is still evil but training with Goku mellows him out somewhat.

* AdaptaionalJerkass: Goku’s ego gets inflated and becomes more mean spirited after [[CombatPragmatist winning against Jackie Chun through biting his foot]].

!! ''What If Goku Won against Master Roshi?'' has the following tropes:

** Piccolo not only knows Kaioken, but he also fuses with another Dragon Clan Namekian after fusing with Nail, boosting his power further. It's still not enough to beat Final Form Freeza.

** Piccolo is the one to ultimately go to King Kai's planet and train. He's by no means a hero, but Kami knows they need to put aside their differences to face the oncoming threat of the Saiyans and Freeza.

* TraumaticSuperPowerAwakening: Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan after Raditz saves Goku from one of Freeza's attacks and dies.
