History Fanfic / WhatIfGineWentWithGokuToEarth

** Freeza can't sense energy, so after he defeats Super Saiyan Gine and then sees Katarot go Super Saiyan, he assumes her son will only be roughly as strong as she was. But since Kakarot was way stronger than Gine in base form, the 50x multiplier makes him way stronger than Freeza.

* PairTheSpares: Raditz is paired up with Launch, but instead of like [[Fanfic/WhatIfRaditzTurnedGood his other version]], they are more or less FriendsWithBenefits.

* SunglassesAtNight: Justified. Gine is aware becoming a Great Ape during a full moon and artificial moon is dangerous.

** Freeza can't sense energy, so after he defeats Super Saiyan Gine, when Kakarot goes Super Saiyan, he assumes he'll only be roughly as strong as Gine. Since Kakarot was way stronger than Gine in base form, the 50x multiplier makes him way stronger than Freeza.

* VillainousBreakdown: Gine going Super Saiyan and beginning to dominate Final Form Freeza sends him into a screaming fury. He briefly regains his composure upon going up to 50%, but Kakarot going Super Saiyan and utterly crushing him sends him further into it, to the point he's so furious he skips trying to blow up the planet in his attempt to kill the Saiyan himself.

* AlmightyMom: Gine went from a stay-at-home mom into one of Earth's most powerful defenders and is responsible for raising the universe's mightiest warrior.
* BadassFamily: Gine's presence completely changes the fabric of the Son family. Goku/Kakarot is far stronger as a warrior, Chi-Chi remains a martial artist and [[TookALevelInBadass even joining the frontline ranks of the Z Fighters herself]], Gohan gains Super Saiyan much earlier, and her eldest son Raditz gains Super Saiyan as well.

* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Subverted. Due to her Saiyan biology, Gine is just as physically active and attractive in her fifties (as of the Androids Arc) as she was in her teen years.

* AdaptationalNameChange: Or rather, canonical lack thereof. Because Gine is with him, Kakarot never gets named Goku and remains known by his Saiyan name.

As the title suggests, he explores his interpretation of an alternate version of the story where Gine is accidentally sent off to Earth with her baby boy Kakarot and is taken in by Grampa Gohan, and seeing how the events would continue to play out through the incoming threats of the series. As of Part 12, the story has gone from the destruction of Planet Vegeta in the Bardock Prequel all the way up to the introduction of Imperfect Cell.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Gine might be a complete weakling by Saiyan standards, but by Earthling standards is monstrously powerful for early ''Dragon Ball''. Remember, ''Raditz'' was considered a weakling by other Saiyans (WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged claimed that Vegeta was as strong as 15 Raditz,) and he still required an EnemyMine of Goku and Piccolo (AKA the two strongest beings on the planet at the time).

* ParallelConflictSequence: On Namek, Kakarot, Gine, and Vegeta face Freeza while Gohan, Chi-Chi, Krillin, and Yamcha defend the Namekians from Freeza's minions.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Deconstructed when Gine calls out Raditz on this mindset within the Room of Spirit and Time. Gine says this it was this selfish belief among Saiyans that created their enslavement and eventual destruction at the hands of Freeza, who used this tactic to easily manipulate the Saiyans into doing his bidding. Gine refuses to go along with it, and until Raditz understands the meaning of what she is saying, she not train with him. Raditz eventually starts to get the message.

* ReluctantWarrior: Unlike her BloodKnight husband and sons, Gine still retains her kind and passive personality despite her immense strength, only stepping up to fight when she needs to.

* BigDamnHeroes: Raditz and Kakarot sense Cell attacking Grandpa Gohan and Gine, prompting Raditz to Instant Transmission to their aid and save them.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Freeza can't sense energy, so after he defeats Super Saiyan Gine, when Kakarot goes Super Saiyan, he assumes he'll only be roughly as strong as Gine. Since Kakarot was way stronger than Gine in base form, the 50x multiplier makes him way stronger than Freeza.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Gine made Kakarot remember to take the heart medication before they confronted the Androids. Since he was supposed to take it much earlier, the heart virus still attacks him, but it just weakens him and makes him unable to control his ki instead of collapse and lose consciousness. This nevertheless allows Android 19 to get the upper hand on him until Raditz rescues him.

* WorldsStrongestWoman: At least during the ''Dragon Ball'' Era, Gine is the most powerful being on Earth due to her power level matching Young King Piccolo, and later becoming as strong as Raditz. Kakarot eventually outpaces her, but Gine retakes the position after becomes a Super Saiyan. She then loses it when Kakarot goes Super Saiyan, though she's still the strongest woman until 18 comes along.

* GodIsDead: Just like Piccolo in the original canon, Kami sacrifices himself to protect Chi-Chi and Gohan from Nappa's blast. The Dragon Balls shut down as a result, thus forcing the gang to travel to Planet Namek.

* InSpiteOfANail: Even though Yamcha survives the Saiyan Saga and is able to spend more time with Bulma, including joining the trip to Namek, she still ends up leaving him for Vegeta, ensuring the birth of Trunks.

* PairTheSpares: Raditz is paired up with Launch, but instead of like [[Fanfic/WhatIfNappaTurnedGood his other version]], they are more or less FriendsWithBenefits.

** The Namekians who helped the main characters get the Dragon Balls so far hasn't been targeted by the Freeza Forces' genocide attack.

* SunglassesAtNight: Justified. Gine is aware becoming a Great Ape during a full moon and artificial moon is dangerous.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Raditz arrives on Earth, but after meeting Goku and Gine, he abandons the Freeza Force and goes [=AWOL=].

* WorfHadTheFlu: Gine made Kakarot remember to take the heart medication. The heart virus still attacks him, but it just weakens him and makes him unable to control his ki instead of collapse. This nevertheless allows Android 19 to get the upper hand on him until Raditz rescues him.

* ParallelConflictSequence: On Namek, Kakarot, Gine, and Vegeta face Freeza while Gohan, Krillin, and Yamcha defend the Namekians from Freeza's minions.

** King Piccolo is not killed in this version, Master Roshi is able to successfully seal him away with the Mafuba thanks to help from Gine and back-up from Grandpa Gohan. Because of this [[AdaptedOut Piccolo Jr doesn't exist]].

What If Gine Went With Goku to Earth? is a Dragon Ball What If? fanfic by Lawrence Simpson aka [=MasakoX=] of Creator/TeamFourStar fame as part of his ''Manga/DragonBall'' Discussion series of Youtube videos. This particular topic started on Mar 19, 2018 in response to the invention of Gine for ''Dragon Ball Minus''.

** Because Gine's power was at least twice that of Piccolo's at the time of the King Piccolo saga, Gine spends most of the battle managing to overpower him easily. Though Piccolo almost managed to turn the table using emotional manipulation tactics to throw her off guard, he's quickly sealed away by Roshi before he can strike.

** Kakarot vaporizes Freeza after overpowering him in a beam struggle, instead of him returning to Earth as Mecha-Frieza and Future Trunks killing him and his father.

* FixedRelativeStrength: By the Saiyan Saga, Kakarot is much stronger than his mother due to training with King Kai.

* HeroicBSOD: After the battle on Namek, Gine loses her fighting spirit, feeling that she has nothing more to prove and fight for now that Frieza is dead and overcoming her past demons. She decides to retire to a peaceful life and pass the torch over to her son, as he is now far more powerful than she is. Her dilemma gets even worse after Cell's attack. Gine breaks down over the loss of [[TenMinuteRetirement her retirement]] and the peaceful life on Earth she once had, and asks if she'll ever get it back. Raditz and Grandpa Gohan remind her that she is a Saiyan, and [[ArmorPiercingResponse if that was what she truly wanted, she would've long since abandoned Kakarot]] and [[ParentalAbandonment gone off on her own entirely]]. Gine never truly escaped her Saiyan heritage, but what always made her unique among [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Saiyans]] is that she has always channeled her Saiyan pride and fighting spirit through the sheer love of her family and her home, [[BloodKnight rather than sport]] or [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered pride]]. It's this [[EurekaMoment sudden realization]] that snaps Gine out of her funk.

* [[OOCIsseriousBusiness O.O.C Is Serious Business]]: After Gine transforms into a Super Saiyan, Kakarot notices his normally sweet mother's personality has [[TranquilFury drastically altered]] and becomes concerned.

Her retirement is short-lived when [[Characters/DragonBallCell Imperfect Cell]], in search of a good food source and finding Gine's power appetizing, appears and attacks her in her home. After being rescued by Raditz, Gine is inspired by Raditz and Grandpa Gohan to [[HesBack stand up and fight once more]].

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Heroic example: Gine was a weakling by Saiyan standards, but by the Namek Saga she's become so strong she can take on members of the Ginyu Force due to training with her son. When going up against Freeza, she ultimately ascends to Super Saiyan and holds her own against him for quite a while.

* PragmaticVillainy: Raditz turns away from the Frieza Force after meeting his mother and brother, mainly because if he actually tried to take Kakarot back to the fold, he would most likely be killed. Gine and Kakarot both match his power and could easily destroy him.

** Naturally, being the focus on this What If, Gine survives by accidentally being knocked in the pod meant for just Kakarot.

** Raditz also survives, as both Gine and Kakarot are as strong as him, giving them time to reason with him due to his cautious nature. He later returns after Freeza is killed.

* CurbstompCushion: Super Saiyan Gine vs 50% Freeza is this, as while Gine is outmatched (due to being weaker than her son), she still manages to hold her own and ultimately makes him burn enough stamina that Super Saiyan Kakarot completely demolishes him once it's his turn to step in.

** Gine kills Ginyu on Namek after Kakarot tricks him into changing back to his original body. Instead of becoming a frog.

* TenMinuteRetirement: After the climactic showdown with Frieza on Namek, Gine finally decides once and for all to retire from fighting and leave the protector job to her sons and grandchild.
