Her retirement is brusk-lived when Imperfect Cell, in search of a good food source and finding Gine'due south ability flavory, appears and attacks her in her habitation. After being rescued by Raditz, Gine is inspired by Raditz and Grandpa Gohan to stand up up and fight once more than.
• Action Mom: Gine, obviously. Chi-Chi likewise gets in on the human activity.
• Accommodation Expansion: Masako'south reading of Meganechan720's novelization of it is much more detailed than his original What If.
• Adaptational Badass:
  • Gine, due to grooming with her son on Globe, becomes way stronger than she always was in the original manga. She even ends up existence the first to become Super Saiyan.
  • Thanks in function to Gine's intervention, Chi-Chi continues her own martial arts preparation, even joining the Z Fighters on Namek besides equally being a lot more involved with Gohan both in his didactics besides every bit his grooming.
  • Gohan achieves Super Saiyan while the Z-Fighters are training for the inflow of the Androids.
  • Vegeta reaches total-power Super-Saiyan and actually manages to put up a skillful fight against an, absolutely tired from fighting Gine, Cell. He still loses yet.
  • In the original canon, the Full-Power Super Saiyan grade was but good enough to continue upwards with Perfect Cell. In this timeline, information technology's more than sufficient enough to exercise pregnant harm to the bio-android to the betoken where Gohan in particular doesn't need Super Saiyan 2 to beat him.
  • Gohan doesn't slack off on his grooming and is much stronger during the Buu Saga.
• Adaptational Heroism:
  • Raditz is redeemed by Gine and Kakarot and spends the time from the Saiyan Saga to the demise of Freeza as a Rebel Leader fighting confronting Freeza's forces.
  • Somewhat with Cell. Gine's personality traits balance out Freeza'south, and thus once he becomes Perfect he'south at least somewhat less sadistic. If zip else, he'south willing to consider sparing the Earth if he gets a adept enough fight. He fifty-fifty shows Gine respect when she gives him just that and doesn't even show sadism in trying to kill her afterward.
• Adaptational Proper noun Change: Or rather, approved lack thereof. Because Gine is with him, Kakarot never gets named Goku and remains known only past his Saiyan name.
• Accommodation Personality Modify: Because Cell has Gine's Dna, he is a lot calmer and more than insightful because Gine's personality balances Freeza's.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Because of Vegeta constantly antagonizing Gine, Kakarot doesn't consider him a friend.
• Adapted Out:
  • Due to Gine distracting King Piccolo enough for Grandad Gohan and Master Roshi to seal him with the Mafuba, Rex Piccolo never has the take a chance to create his spawn, thus the Piccolo we know doesn't exist in this timeline.

• Almighty Mom: Gine went from beingness a stay-at-domicile mom to ane of Earth's well-nigh powerful defenders and is responsible for raising the universe's mightiest warrior.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Equally showcased in the original story, the 2nd Grade Super Saiyan form grants the user incredible power, at the price of greater energy drain and reduced speed. To Gine's ain personal dismay, it also causes greater emotional turmoil and further amplifies the violent Blood Knight nature of Saiyans, the very thing she was trying to avert, as axiomatic by her lashing out in response to Vegeta'southward Breaking Speech.
• Badass Family: Gine'southward presence completely changes the material of the Son family. Goku/Kakarot is far stronger as a warrior, Chi-Chi remains a martial artist and fifty-fifty joins the frontline ranks of the Z Fighters herself, Gohan gains Super Saiyan much earlier, and her eldest son Raditz not only lives but likewise gains Super Saiyan as well. Best shown instead of a Father-Son Kamehameha, it's a Family Kamehameha that finishes Cell off.

  • Kakarot one-shots Rex Cold, treating him more like an reconsideration than an opponent.
• Adjourn-Stomp Cushion:
  • Vegeta vs Kakarot and Gine. Unlike in the original story, Vegeta gets beaten then much worse he doesn't even have the chance to transform into a Great Ape.

In this rendition, thanks to Gine beingness in that location, she's able to calm Kakarot down when information technology happens and Gohan is spared his inital death.

• Finishing Move: Gine somewhen develops one: Rebellion Phalanx.
• Stock-still Relative Strength: By the Saiyan Saga, Kakarot is much stronger than his mother due to preparation with King Kai. During the final showdown with Freeza, Gine ascends to Super Saiyan and briefly surpasses him, before ultimately falling to a Death Beam from 50% Freeza. So Kakarot achieves Super Saiyan and surpasses his mother again, and curb-stomps Freeza.

• Friends with Benefits:
  • Gine'due south relationship with Bardock. He may have found her cute, merely he didn't beloved her; conversely, Gine is well enlightened that Bardock would regard her attempt to observe a peaceful life on Globe with antipathy, only she kills Dodoria on his behalf, then beats Vegeta to a bloody lurid for insulting him.
  • Raditz and Launch, unlike Masako's other story, though things may get farther for them subsequently the Cell saga since they've decided to go space-traveling together.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Heroic instance: Gine was a weakling by Saiyan standards, simply by the Namek Saga she's become then potent she can take on members of the Ginyu Force due to training with her son. When going upwards confronting Freeza, she ultimately ascends to Super Saiyan and holds her ain against his final form for quite a while.
• God is Dead: But like Piccolo in the original catechism, Kami sacrifices himself to protect Chi-Chi and Gohan from Nappa's nail. The Dragon Balls shut down every bit a result, thus forcing the gang to travel to Planet Namek and so they tin employ their Dragon Balls to bring back Kami, Tien, and Chiaotzu.

  • After his Final Atonement and getting resurrected, Vegeta reconciles with Gine and the others and becomes a truthful friend.
• Heroic BSoD:
  • Vegeta is completely frozen in fright and unresponsive once he finally senses Freeza's ability and finds it is way college than his.
  • After the battle on Namek, Gine loses her fighting spirit, feeling that she has nothing more than to prove and fight for, at present that Freeza is expressionless and her by demons have been overcome. She decides to retire to a peaceful life and pass the torch over to her son, every bit he is now far more powerful than she is. Her dilemma gets even worse later Jail cell's set on. Gine breaks down over the loss of her retirement and the peaceful life on World she once had, and asks if she'll e'er get it back. Raditz and Gramps Gohan remind her that she is a Saiyan, and if that was what she truly wanted, she would've long since abandoned Kakarot and gone off on her own entirely. Gine never truly escaped her Saiyan heritage, but what always made her unique amidst Saiyans is that she has always channeled her Saiyan pride and fighting spirit through the sheer love of her family unit and her habitation, rather than sport or cocky-centered pride. Information technology's this sudden realization that snaps Gine out of her funk.
  • Gine goes into another 1 when she fails to kill Cell and accidentally leads him to 17 and 18, letting him become Perfect Cell. She tells Kakarot that she is tired and once Cell is defeated, she will retire. Another attribute of this is that Gine is reaching the historic period where Saiyans begin to grow old and weaken, and she knows it.
• Heroic Cede: Vegeta's Final Atonement in the Buu Arc plays out just like in catechism.

When she tin can't sense him (he is being transported to Korin'south tower barely clinging to life), she is distracted enough for Piccolo to retaliate... but not plenty to avert Roshi and Grandad Gohan.
  • When Gine and Raditz enter the Room of Spirit and Time to train, Kakarot can no longer sense them, which makes him presume something bad happened to them.
• In Spite of a Boom:
  • While Gine surviving the destruction of Planet Vegeta is a major amending to Dragon Ball history, it doesn't drastically change the timeline. The timelines and the events within still plays out in gild from Dragon Brawl to Z, with slight changes.

  • In this version, Vegeta and Nappa remembered to turn off the transmitters in their scouters, so Freeza doesn't know well-nigh the Dragon Balls. Freeza and his minions still get to Namek, because they were chasing Vegeta to punish him for going AWOL.
• In the Blood: The Saiyan pride and lust for battle are attributes that Gine has e'er shunned, saying that those were exactly the values that Freeza consort, and just desiring a life of peace for herself and her family. She tries to compromise the battle lust by channelling it through a desire to protect the earth and her family, but when Vegeta (who espouses these attributes) says that Bardock would exist ashamed of her for not acting like a truthful Saiyan, she beats the hell out of him - proving his point that she cannot escape from the warrior pride in her blood, and if she was over her pride, she would've just ignored him. The realization just makes her angrily weep.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Subsequently seeing Gine fail confronting Cell, and causing him to go Perfect, Vegeta gleefully twists the pocketknife in further by pointing out that Gine volition never be able to escape her Saiyan blood and heritage, and that her spiel about peace and beloved was all a lie. Gine snaps and attacks him, only proving him correct.
• Lame Pun Reaction: Subsequently they both Took a Level in Badass by going in the Room of Spirit and Time, Gine and Raditz confront Prison cell. Raditz says regarding Cell "drinking" people with his tail, that he has a drinking problem. Both Gine and Jail cell are dumbfounded by this comment.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Vegeta'south Breaking Lecture to Gine after Jail cell becomes Perfect enrages everyone to the point they lock him in the Gravity Chamber and pass up to let him exit until the Cell Games. Bulma likewise tells him that if he destroys the chamber, he might kill himself with a blackness pigsty to keep him from doing that to escape.
• Mama Bear: Harm her children or grandson, Gine will make sure you will pay. Vegeta and Freeza learn this the hard manner, especially the latter which causes Gine to become a Super Saiyan.
  • It'south mutual with Kakarot as if someone hurts Gine in his sight, he won't pull his punches at all. Key examples are killing Frieza on Namek and joining Gohan to take on Cell.
• The Mentor: Gine eventually retires and chooses to be Gohan and Goten'southward mentor after the Cell Sega. Every bit a effect, the 2 of them are far stronger by the Buu Sega.
• Mood Whiplash: The serious moment when Gine and Raditz face up Jail cell for the first fourth dimension is broken when Raditz declares that they're intervening because Cell "has a drinking problem".
• My Species Doth Protest Also Much: As in canon, Gine is very prissy compared to other Saiyans. This is expert for Earth, as she's willing to live peacefully at that place and protect it.

• No Eye in Magic: Wearing sunglasses prevents Saiyans from turning into Corking Apes when they look at the total moon.
• Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Gine might be a complete weakling by Saiyan standards, but by Earthling standards she is monstrously powerful for early Dragon Ball. Remember, Raditz was considered a weakling by other Saiyans (Dragon Brawl Z Abridged claimed that Vegeta was every bit potent equally 15 Raditz,) and he still required an Enemy Mine of Goku and Piccolo (AKA the two strongest beings on the planet at the time).
• Non Agape of Yous Anymore: Gine has this realization when she knocks Freeza down with a punch and sees she is stiff plenty to fight him.
• Not Quite Expressionless: Gine seemingly vaporized Cell, merely his nucleus managed to hang onto to her and regenerate after hitching a ride on her back to Capsule Corp, allowing him to absorb 17 and 18 (which Bulma took to try and reprogram) and skip Semi-Perfect straight to his Perfect Form.
• Oh, Crap!:
  • Kakarot is shocked to learn that his own mother hands defeated King Piccolo and realizes she is a far stronger fighter than him. Seeing equally his female parent never actually showcased her power earlier (to that point Gine never fought the Red Ribbon Ground forces or participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament like he did).
  • Freeza is incomparably taken off guard when he realizes Gine is much stronger than his first form (the one he's currently in), leaving him open to a punch in the jaw.
• Old Master: After Grandad Gohan passes away, Gine takes on his attire and graduates to this office. In the Buu Arc and most of Super, Gine is no longer on the frontlines, instead serving as back up and a Mentor to her grandsons.
• Ane-Winged Angel:
  • Vegeta didn't get to do information technology on Earth, but does on Namek...against a way stronger Kakarot and Gine who make curt piece of work of him.
  • Gine is faced with Ginyu in Kakarot's body and outmatched...and so she uses Vegeta's artificial moon to become Dandy Ape to crush and and then obliterate him one time Kakarot tricks him into changing back.
• OOC Is Serious Business: After Gine transforms into a Super Saiyan, Kakarot notices his normally sweet female parent'south personality has drastically contradistinct and becomes concerned.
• Exterior-Context Trouble: Gine, being a full-blooded Saiyan, is this for the Pre-Z globe. Similar her son Raditz, she vastly overpowers nigh of the threats she's put upwards against.
• Pair the Spares: Raditz is paired up with Launch, but instead of similar his other version, they are more than or less Friends with Benefits (which means nosotros probably won't be seeing Ranch).

• Parent-Child Squad: Kakarot and Gine ultimately become this, particularly after training on the way to Namek.
• Passed in Their Sleep: Grandpa Gohan's ultimate fate, departing peacefully in his old age.
• Passing the Torch: Gine intends to pass it onto Kakarot someday as he'southward quickly becoming strong enough to take on whatever force coming their way by his own.
• Businesslike Villainy: Raditz turns away from the Freeza Forcefulness afterwards meeting his mother and brother, mainly considering if Raditz really tried to accept Kakarot back to the fold, he would well-nigh likely be killed. Gine and Kakarot both friction match his power and could hands destroy him.
• Proud Warrior Race Guy: Deconstructed when Gine calls out Raditz on this mindset while in the Room of Spirit and Time. Gine says this it was this selfish belief amidst Saiyans that created their enslavement and eventual destruction at the hands of Freeza, who played upwardly this conventionalities to easily manipulate the Saiyans into doing his behest. Gine refuses to continue with that mindset, and until Raditz understands the significant of what she is saying, she will not railroad train with him. Raditz eventually starts to get the bulletin.
• Punch Grab: Super Saiyan Gine is pummeling Freeza with ease, until he decides to power up to 50%, then catches her punch and breaks her wrist.
• "The Reason Y'all Suck" Speech communication: Jail cell tells Vegeta that Gine has earned his respect. Vegeta has earned nothing except Prison cell's contemptuousness.
• Reluctant Warrior: Unlike her Blood Knight married man and sons, Gine however retains her kind and passive personality despite her immense force, only stepping up to fight when she needs to. She re-enforces this belief to Raditz while in the Room of Spirit and Time.
• The Resenter: Vegeta, every bit per usual. Like in the original story, this carries over into the Buu Saga when he becomes Majin Vegeta. Instead of attacking the Globe Martial Arts Tournament to goad Goku into fighting him, he instead attacks Gine at Mount Paozu.
• Retired Badass: Gine decides to retire from fighting after the Namek incident and her age eventually catching up to her. She largely sits out the Buu Saga and the following ones, settling to just exist The Mentor for her grandchildren. It doesn't last thank you to Cell.
  • She finally receives information technology come the Buu Arc. Gine is no longer in the activeness, but observing from the sidelines while her children and grandsons take care of Buu.
• Revisiting the Roots: Vegeta's hostility towards Gine has an undercurrent of sexism to it, which may exist off-putting to fans of Vegeta. This characterization actually corresponds with his personality during the Android Saga towards Android 18. This, combined with Vegeta's resentment towards Goku in the original being projected onto Gine instead is what leads to their terrible relationship.
• The Rival: Reflecting his relationship with Kakarot in the original story, Vegeta becomes quite a footling and resentful jerk towards Gine over the course of this story.
• Screw This, I'yard Out of Here!: Raditz arrives on Earth, but afterwards meeting Kakarot and Gine, he abandons the Freeza Force and goes AWOL.
• Shipper on Deck: Chi-Chi tried to set her father Ox-Male monarch with Gine. Information technology didn't piece of work because they were still mourning their corresponding spouse and they idea if they got married, it would make Kakarot and Chi-Chi siblings, but they became adept friends.
• Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: After the (second) confrontation with Cell, Vegeta calls out Gine, calling her a disgrace and telling her that she will never achieve peace as a Saiyan, and that fighting is in her blood that she will never escape from. He'south (generally) correct even so.
• Silk Hiding Steel: Gine'due south kindhearted and motherly attitude hides her tremendous strength. In the days of Dragon Ball, she'southward actually the most powerful fighter on World.
• Silver Flim-flam: Due to her Saiyan biology, Gine is simply as physically active and bonny in her fifties (as of the Androids Arc) as she was in her teen years. By the Jail cell Games however, Gine is fully aware that the days in her Saiyan prime are numbered, she will kickoff to weaken and will have to retire, whether she or anyone else wants it or not. Sure enough, by "Finish of Z", Gine's age finally catches up to her to the point where she can no longer turn Super Saiyan. She tin can nevertheless defend herself handily, though.
• Spared by the Adaptation:
  • Naturally, existence the focus on this What If, Gine survives the destruction of Planet Vegeta by accidentally being knocked into the pod meant for just Kakarot.
  • Thanks to Gine existence around to intervene during Kakarot'south first transformation into a Great Ape, Grandpa Gohan isn't accidentally killed by his adoptive grandson. Instead, he eventually dies peacefully in old age.
  • King Piccolo is not killed in this version, Primary Roshi is able to successfully seal him away with the Mafuba cheers to help from Gine and back-up from Grandpa Gohan. Considering of this Piccolo Jr doesn't exist. Since Roshi had Grandpa Gohan helping him, using the Mafuba doesn't kill him.
  • Due to his Pragmatic Villainy, Raditz also survives, as both Gine and Kakarot are every bit strong every bit him, giving them fourth dimension to reason with him due to his cautious nature. He afterwards returns after Freeza is killed.
  • Since Raditz left without a fight, Kakarot didn't have to sacrifice himself. Kami nevertheless pulls some strings for him to receive training from Male monarch Kai.
  • Yamcha survives the Saiyan Saga, equally Gine knows what Saibamen are and thus sees the cocky-destruct attack coming, allowing her to warn him and let him avert it.
  • The Namekians who helped the main characters get the Dragon Balls then far oasis't been targeted by the Freeza Forces' genocide attack.
  • Krillin isn't killed by Freeza, equally Kakarot going Super Saiyan is instead a result of Gine being given a Decease Beam through the chest.
  • Freeza fails to blow up Planet Namek, thus the planet and all of its inhabitants survive.
  • Android 16 survives the Cell Games.
  • Kakarot isn't forced to pull a Heroic Cede in an attempt to finish Prison cell, thus he survives as well.
  • Majin Vegeta doesn't blow up the audience of the World Martial Arts Tournament because he decides to assault Gine at her house instead.
  • Majin Buu is defeated before he tin can blow upward the Earth.
• Sunglasses at Night: Justified. Gine is aware that becoming a Corking Ape during a full moon and artificial moon is dangerous.
• Talk to the Fist: When Vegeta mocks Gine for failing to cease off Jail cell and leading him to 17 and 18, Raditz punches him and knocks him out.
• Teleportation: Because Raditz settled on Yardrat and defended it, the Yardrats taught him the Instant Transmission technique. He is the one who teaches it to Kakarot.
• This Cannot Be!: Perfect Cell starts losing it against Kakarot and Gohan.
• Tranquil Fury: When Gine goes Super Saiyan, she goes full-on into this mode confronting Freeza.
• Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Gine witnesses her son get shot by one of Freeza's Expiry Beams, which triggers her transformation into a Super Saiyan. Curb-Stomp Battle by her ensues until Freeza powers up to l% and seemingly kills her, besides causing Kakarot to ascend also and completely annihilate the tired tyrant.
• Turn the Other Cheek: While Vegeta is getting clobbered by Perfect Jail cell, Gine asks Raditz and the others to salve him. Raditz asks her why would she save Vegeta after how he has mistreated and debased her. Gine responds that the Globe is more important than whatever she wants.
• Underestimating Badassery:
