We all know the Dragon Ball story by heart,so screw the introduction.
The manga has been over well for almost two decades now and the series still enjoys a couple of video games every year,keeping up with the other big shonen titles like Naruto.
Most of these games tell the same story over and over with a couple of "what if" scenarios in most of them,some like Shin Budokai Another Road is just big what if that's really interesting for the long time fan.
The movies and specials can also be considered what ifs as well,unless if Toriyama was supervising it or something,then you can argue that it's canon.
But you can only do so much with a finished story.What elso could you do with Dragon Ball?
I have a couple of interesting ideas but ultimately wouldn't fit in with the nature of the series.
-A murder mystery involving someone stuffing the corspe in a capsule.
-Finally explaining how Goku got his mysterious heart virus
-How Vegeta spent his childhood
-Bulma's daily life in the city or her childhood.
-How Yamcha became the desert bandit,and how he got his reputation as said bandit.
-How Emperor Pilaf got all his cash from,in fact,just Pilaf and his gang doing something is cool
-How Chi Chi told the innocent Goku about...childmaking
-More Launch doing some more crimes and stuff,explain why she became a truck driver
-More of Gohan's high school life (I know high school anime is everywhere,but still)
- Bardock's early life and how he met his friends
-Yamcha's baseball career
I know alot of these sound like bad fanfics,they probably are,but I'm just tired of seeing the Z Fighters get overpowered and by some miracle,manage to save the day anyway.
Hell,at least GT TRIED something different,and the ideas the writers had were excellent,although the same can't be said for the execution.
Like GT,my ideas sound good,but the execution wouldn't be good.
Pointless post,but I just wanted to organize my thoughts,because Dragon Ball could do so many other stories,they just wouldn't be Dragon Ball.
