The entire plot of Dragon Ball begins to take place due to the unexpected meeting between Goku and Bulma. So if that event never happened, how would the story change?

Like other stories, the Dragon Ball franchise began due to a single event. The famous plot has Bulma collecting the 7 Dragon Balls and building a radar to find their location. This device takes Bulma to Goku’s house, which contains 4-star gems left by the boy’s late grandfather Gohan. Since Goku was not about to lose the gem, he accompanied Bulma on her adventure and this decision was responsible for more or less the events that took place over the next 36 years.

Think about it, if Goku and Bulma hadn’t met, not only would their lives have taken completely different paths, but so would almost every other character in the series, the fate of Earth would have played out completely. other. If Bulma never found Dragon Ball , or never met Goku, or gave up on the adventure for some other reason, how would the Dragon Ball timeline progress?

Before Dragon Ball began, Goku was a recluse, raised by Mr. Gohan in the mountains for many years. With very little knowledge of the outside world, and a lover of the simple life, Goku had never thought of leaving his forest, which changed when Bulma appeared.

As a result, Goku may not meet Master Roshi, Chichi, Krillin, Tien or Yamcha. In fact, Goku’s life seemed undisturbed until the Red Ribbon army appeared – those who were searching for the dragon balls. Although Goku easily defeated soldiers and low-ranking officers, he would probably lose to someone like General Blue or Tao Pai Pai, due to Goku not having trained with Roshi or learned the techniques. Kamehameha.

Assuming Goku survives his encounter with the Red Ribbon Army, he will certainly venture into the outside world to retrieve the 4-star gem, but what will happen when Goku fights without Roshi’s Scales? ) or Dragon Radar (by Bulma). Then when Goku searches for the Red Ribbon Army and trains enough to defeat them too.

Years later, Pilaf frees King Piccolo from his seal, as in the original story. Due to not training with Roshi and the cat god Karin, King Piccolo will definitely kill Goku to steal the dragon balls, and gain control of Earth. If Goku somehow manages to survive, his brother Raditz will arrive on Earth several years later.

When he realizes Goku has forgotten his mission of destroying humanity, Raditz will do the job himself, but Goku will object and stop his brother. Unfortunately, Goku can be killed by Raditz, and he would also take down King Piccolo if the Namekian dictator was still ruling the planet.

Thanks to Raditz, humans will become extinct at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, Earth can be controlled by Frieza. And Goku will never have a chance to get revenge, because the monkey did not train with King Kai and did not unlock Super Saiyan. In the end, Raditz wiped out everyone on Earth, or most of them would die at the hands of King Piccolo.

As for the other characters, their lives are not good. Vegeta never came to Earth, he remained a member of Frieza’s army; no good Piccolo. Tien and Chaozu will always be villains. Krillin is Master Roshi’s only student. Bulma will still be an extremely successful Capsule scientist, but she won’t meet Vegeta and become Trunks’ mother. Yamcha stays in the desert and is a bandit, or he still meets Bulma searching for the dragon balls, then becomes her boyfriend until the end of Dragon Ball.
