The thing with Cell is that I feel Akira Toriyama could've given him a semi-redemption or "isn't 100% evil" arc because he did so for Vegeta, who's done worse and for just as bad a reason as absorbing people (I need to ego-stroke myself and have the bloodlust). Actually, I think the real reason he made Cell a Complete Monster was because he was focused on making Vegeta not one

[down] Kind of prejudiced to expect Freeza's DNA to make him evil just because Freeza was. Freeza chose to be evil, it's not King Piccolo where he's genetically made to be a villain

Yes, that's the reason.

Also, he was part Frieza, so, yeah, born evil.

No I mean it's all gone. The entire 12 universes. And I SWEAR I came up with this idea before there were even twelve universes revealed, let alone the fact that eleven them will FUCKING DIE.

I mean really if Vegeta can be redeemed then nearly anyone can.

I mean seriously Vegeta was a Grade-A cunt (pardon my country) edging pretty close to complete monster himself when he appeared who regularly decimated entire worlds for profit & was willing to annihilate teammates if they became useless to him (I wonder how's Nappa doing in Hell) & like Frieza was kinda born evil since Saiyan's are a perpetually warlike & barbaric species.

Now look at him, he's harmless, he's a fucking tsundere not that that's a bad thing. He has become declawed well sorta I mean he can still kick ass of course.

[up] Then what the fuck happens in it?

Uhhh...

The guy who got Goku and Friends killed harvests the Saiyans' bodies of their DNA and uses it to try and create a new breed of superhumans by using his political connections to abolish adoptions so he can take in lost children and use them as guinea pigs, all for the sake of creating an army to protect the planet from threats and maybe one day slay the Gods who betrayed him.

I mean all I've been spoiling is literally background information in one chapter of my entire story. Dragon Ball existed, then didn't.

Well you see it's not the guy who killed Goku and the gang was planning to summon them or anything. See, the highest order of deities in this universe fused part of Universe 7's Earth with this story's Earth, then the guy saw this happening and assembled a team to take them down so he could get the DNA he needed. The deities did this so a subject that was destined to inherit another form of power would have the power of Saiyans as a crutch to help him out with his journey, which involves Mario and...

Going any further would require an essay, alright?

Ew, self plugging in response to a question about non-crap fanfiction? That's deplorable.

Anyway, I remember Honor Trip, it was ridiculously un-Dragon Ball.

There's actually a fanfic out there called Honor Trip where Cell becomes a good guy, goes back to the future with Trunks and fights the later version of himself that Trunks initially would have fought and killed.

Which is dumb and not how that works at all. The Trunks from the Cell Games will no longer be killed from the future Cell. The Trunks who was killed by Cell in the future timeline can never be saved.

Challenge accepted.

Which is dumb and not how that works at all. The Trunks from the Cell Games will no longer be killed from the future Cell. The Trunks who was killed by Cell in the future timeline can never be saved.

  • 1: Trunks goes back in time to save the world from the androids.
  • 2: Trunks arrives and warns the Z-Fighters. Trunks later comes back here off-screen and grabs the blueprints, who knows how the Z-Fighters dealt with Gero.
  • 1: Trunks goes back and shuts the androids down. Trunks is killed by Cell, who travels back to the past.
  • 3: Cell arrives and alters Timeline 2, the Cell Games take place. Trunks goes back to his timeline.
  • 4: Trunks arrives and, in the anime at least, destroys the Cyborgs and is later ambushed by Cell, but kills him.

The fic would've taken place in Timeline 4, except Cell goes back with Trunks. I might have phrased that badly - they just go to the future and fight the Cell that should still be alive in the Future Timeline because no one destroyed Gero's basement, and killing Cell in the past didn't kill him in the future Trunks returned to.

I misread you, totally my bad. I know how that all works, I thought you had said Trunks and Cell returned to the future to fight the Cell that would have killed Trunks, which makes no sense for the reasons I explained.

But Cell going with Trunks on a trip that we know he doesn't need to be on (since we've already seen that Trunks can succeed without him) is still dumb.

Saiga, the fic's premise is that Gohan punched Cell so hard he went good.

Did you really expect anything else?

Maybe Cell wanted to live with Trunks...

Helping him fight imperfect Cell is unnecessary, but a good way to make up for killing Trunks in alternative future.

My favorite DBZ fanfic is Break Through the Limit, a "Raditz turns good and then marries Launch" story, even though it doesn't get good until the Android saga and the last arc really sucks.

Speaking of fanfics, I have an idea of a crossover where Kal El and Kakarrot are sent away from their respective planets just before they're blown up, head for Earth, crash into each other, and then land into each others' original crash sight. Thus, Kal El crashes into the wilderness of mainland China and is raised by Son Gohan, while Kakarrot crash lands in a field over in Smallville, Kansas and is raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent.

I read a pretty good fanfic that thoroughly explored the tired premise of 'something happens so nobody has Ki anymore'. A highlight was Piccolo and Krillin fusing using Oolong and Puar as the Potara Earrings.

I've also read a really good one that told from Chi-Chi's perspective, and is basically 'the government discovers all the aliens on Earth, and mobilizes a strike force to take our heroes down'. It tends to low-ball the characters in order to make its premise work, but not too much that it's unbelievable. A highlight is Chi-Chi fighting Cyborg Taopaipai, who's working with the government on this.

I don't really have a habit of looking up fanfics for shonen. Too easy to get wrong and focus on fights rather than character.

I personally had an idea for a comedy bit, though it'd work best as a comic. Im a terrible artist, so you get the boring version. A simple scenario really. Beerus falls asleep on Master Roshi's couch. Everybody is terrified of setting him off. Roshi, Oolong and even Turtle basically walk on eggshells until they slowly realize nothing will wake him up. You'd have a scene where everybody is just casually hanging around the couch like Beerus isnt even there when Yamcha busts in with pizzas for everybody. Beerus wakes up, eats the pizzas and leaves.
