Goku didn't fight Majin Vegeta for fun. He was pissed at Vegeta for killing the people at the tournament, and he nearly hit Bulma and the others. Vegeta gave him a choice, fight him or watched the body count go up. He didn't used Super Saiyan 3 because it massively dropped his time on Earth. Just fighting Buu for a few minutes took him to having at least 20 hours left on Earth, to just thirty minutes. It thought he could take Vegeta down as a Super Saiyan 2 before Buu awakening. He was wrong because Vegeta and him were evenly matched, and Buu was already halfway filled thanks to Gohan's energy.

"Goku just has a desperation transformation that would put him over Vegeta for a brief period."

Super Saiyan 3 isn't a desperate transformation. It's only held back because Goku can only stay on Earth for a short time and his living body wasn't used to the transformation. The few times he used it after the Buu Saga, he has no problem with the form.

Also, Vegeta still being behind Goku after he sold his soul, family, and friends for power is Laser-Guided Karma to me. This is the same person who brutally murdered thousands of people to provoke Goku to fight, which people tend to not to remember for some reason.

The what-if scenario...in the Boo Saga, Karrot wants to fight Vegetarian.

If they had the chance and were smarter, they would've destroyed Dabra, Babidi, and Boo's cacoon thing then fight for a really long time until they feel satisfied.

I remember that What-if in Budokai Tenkaichi 2 where Gohan was injured training Goten and couldn't go to the World Tournament. Because of that, Spopovich and Yamu didn't get any energy from Gohan, and when Goku and Vegeta's fight came along they had a brief bout before deciding to go somewhere else to fight so they can go all-out.

The story ends with Goku and Vegeta sensing Dabura fighting Piccolo and the Supreme Kai, and after the Saiyans take Dabura out they destroyed Buu before he awakens and then the Supreme Kai allows them to fight on his planet.

That also had the What-if involving Raditz losing his memory due to rouge Saibaman and living with Goku and his family, and the what-if where Zarbon decides to betray Frieza to wish for eternal beauty, calls Cooler down to Namek to start a war with Frieza, gets Goku to team up with him against Frieza for a bit, then gets stuck on the planet after every Z Fighter and Namekian gets brought back to Earth, with him only being able to watch as the planet and him are destroyed due to Frieza's and Cooler's fight.

So, basically, the What-If scenarios involve the plot being resolved in about 5 seconds?

The Radish one in particular solves two birds, by swiss-siding into Veggie and Nappa's pods.

Well, the Buu Saga happened because the heroes made some terrible decisions. Future Trunks shows that would have happened if they just taken out Dabura and Babidi and put an end to it. And it would have happened that way if a certain Saiyan Prince didn't have an overwhelming need to fight Goku. Even the Supreme Kai given them half of Buu's power through Gohan was small compared to Vegeta's ego messing them up, yet again.

That entire what-if was based around Gohan getting injured and not being involved in the plot. Not around any character decisions...

If it weren't for Piccoro actually wanting to stop the threat and fight Dabra, who knows what would've happened.

Gohan being injured made Vegeta and Goku decide that their fight was more important than Majin Buu - which resulted in them ironically handling it better than when Goku decided Majin Buu was more important.

This week's episode of DBS isn't out yet, but spoilers for next week's episode are...

Goku, Vegeta and Trunks barely make it out alive and return to the past, where they're greeted by Beerus, Whis and the Supreme Kai's who help heal them. Goku says he wants to go back to the future as soon as possible to fight Black, and Whis and Beerus are trying to figure out the mystery behind Black and Future Zamasu. Meanwhile, Current Zamasu goes to threaten Zuno about the Super Dragon Balls and Goku.

Took me a second to remember that Zuno and Zeno are completely different people. One knows everything, and the other can destroy everything.

So the Goku & Trunks vs Black and Zamasu fight was pretty badass.

Also, going by the preview for the next episode. Zamasu straight up collects the Super Dragon Balls and summons the Dragon.
