What If Future Goku SURVIVED the Heart Virus? | Dragon Ball Z

What If Future Goku was alive when the Androids attacked?

In this Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super What If it has been two and a half years since the defeat of Freeza and King Cold on Earth - on the day that would mark the end of Goku’s life originally. Instead of an agonizing demise, Goku spends the day with his family and training. The Heart Virus he had contracted a few days prior already has a readily available cure on Earth years earlier than the original story - this is the major change that alters everything.
Having contracted the Heart Virus at all still forces Goku to confront his own mortality. A fight he can’t win where things like disease can take him down without him even being able to throw a punch. These thoughts will linger in his mind for now.
Things are by all accounts normal, but this seeming peace can only last for so long. Six months pass and the androids are released onto the world. We don't know what happened to Androids 19 and 20 beyond the fact that Android 20 was killed by 17 and 18 when they were also released.
It’s hard to be certain of anything, and because of that I believe the Z-fighters never encountered Gero in this timeline - instead he met his demise before he could ever face them. Leading to an eventual encounter that was shown in the Future Trunks Special. So just like the special, Vegeta has managed to become a Super Saiyan in the three years since Freeza and with Goku around maybe there is some fleeting hope, but as Vegeta charges in boasting about his new found power, that hope quickly fades.

“They work on gohans fundamentals until he can spar piccolo” in other words....Piccolo: GOHAN:*dodges* piccolo: *happy tear*

Goku: Okay. Let's gather the Dra-
Piccolo: *fuses*
Goku: THE FUCK PICCOLO!!!

Damn. Your ending statement about Future Bulma being right just hits in the feels.

[dustind]

You know you've watched too much TFS when instant transmission not making a 'pop' sound feels like a betrayal.

[williamgolston]

This is an interesting take on something that actually could have happened. Like, wishing for a cure would've saved Trunks' future lol.

[MiharuCh.]

Basically, Gohan's dreams come true

"True peace"

I never thought about this.


Also I thought it would be cool to see what if Goku hadn't dropped Kaioken in the Namek saga.

Its honestly so sad just how different everything wouldve been. Goku is made out to be a bad guy sometimes but his heart is pure and I agree with this story, such a great video man !!

This is a birthday come true! A fun day hanging out with all my friends, and getting a chance to watch a really cool what if scenario I've wondered about for years! Thank you, Carthu!

Babidi would probably appear around the same time he did in the series. In the Super manga, the justification for his late alpearance in the future was that it took him much longer to gather energy for Boo since Earth was left desolated by the Cyborgs.

THIS IS THE CARTHUS DOJO 3AM CHALLENGE

I love the peaceful ending, I do enjoy the other original content such as Beerus, Broly, ToP arc, but this sudden, yet welcoming, what if ending just feels appropriate

I was actually wondering about this recently. Would he die to the androids, would he become weaker? stronger? good to see your take.

[ale-xsantos]

This reminds me of Future Roshi's quote, the one used at the start of the "Forgotten" AMV
*If only Goku had lived...*

[kevinfernandez]

I can't believe that there are already people disliking the video when it hasn't even started

[wwCs]

Love the sense of tension/dread after the Androids appear, then Piccolo wrecks them and the rest of their lives are a breeze

[superclashing]

Imagine future Goku and vegeta doing fusion to fight against androids and piccolo merging with Kami 🔥🔥

[MaskedChaos]

I feel like eventually Zamasu would still start the Zero Mortals plan, just much further down the line as the only thing keeping him from going over the ledge already was his lack of knowledge. I feel like eventually he would’ve found out about Jiren and still felt like the mortals should’ve been purged

[youdontneedtoknowmyname]

This is going to be so much fun. I have been waiting for this for soo many days!

Ive been asking myself this for over 15 years. Knowing Goku, he would have found a way to overcome the androids. Future Trunk's reality is a depiction of how the Z fighters have no direction without Goku. Either way, had Goku been alive during that period, it would have been the perfect time to introduce the hyperbolic time chamber. However, had the androids been dealt with, you then had imperfect Cell on the horizon to deal with.
