Hey what if Devilman fought Frieza and his father instead of Future Trunks?
@@eliandervalderen5849 That actually happened in DBZ Budokai game.

Botamos power was indeed retconned from his first appearance.
The Evil Containment Wave may be strange compared to the basic DB techniques, but it is simply a glorified Poké Ball.
I never thought of it like that 😂😂
7:26 Yamcha: "I brought towels and water bottles."
Mr. Perfect Cell: "And that you've contributed far more than Vegeta."
God, I miss Cell and his surprising kindness towards Yamcha. It was actually pretty heartwarming, in a weird way.
1:34 "I can spawn mini-mes!"
"Yeah fantastic."
"Spectacular."
This is actually one of the reasons I love My Hero Academia.
No two characters have the exact same abilities, and those who have very similar ones are either rivals, or meant to be reflections of other characters.
And then you've got the amazing bromance between Kirishima and the legendary Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
Personally, I don't like it because it frames the weird powers as superpowers but people are just born with them. That just feels like superheroes/villains minus an origin but I like origins.
I prefer either dragonballs approach of either just an ability they have or ki/muscle control. It's framed as martial arts and for some reason martial arts producing nonsense energy blasts feels like a thing before dragonball but that may just be because I never really knew a world predragonball.
One piece I feel does the best job with weird wacky powers where even the strongest characters can have very bizarre powers. The origin for the powers is also unique with devil fruits and, given how specific to the setting and relatively originless they are in one piece, I'm not sure any other series or genre has a similar comparison (except maybe Jojo stands but I haven't watched jjba).
"Ending you with his tongue." Hold up, this is supposed to be YT friendly Masako.
Stop it!
@@MasakoX George Takei: "Ooh myyy..."
@@MasakoX BUT masako you said "Ending you with his tongue." 😂
@@MasakoX 🤣🤣🤣
@@Evil_Befall Sterling Archer: "PHRASING!"
Why Deviman/Akkuman was not mentioned? He looks even now so OP, actually.
Devilman could finish off literally any Z era villain in one hit, possibly excepting certain forms of Majin Buu who were too innocent to be evil.
Devilman defeats jiren
@@harnoorsingh1482 Jiren No Sells Devilmite Beam or blasts it away casually along with Devilman
@@timoylumontad3920 Jiren isn't pure of heart. Especially before his defeat so he ain't immune.
@@harnoorsingh1482 jirens not technically evil he's just an asshole
All these guys got strange techniques, but none can remote control a seemingly infinite amount of Space Pods to Kamikaze there opponent like Tarble can
Trunks: "I have an uncle?"
Vegets: "You HAD an uncle."
Wait wait wait... What?!
@@AmadisLFE From the games where tarble is playable his ultimate is just him punching the opponent and then summoning a space pod that crashes into to them.
Hey there Masako, love your work in voice acting and your what if discussions. Something that I found funny was that the Dragon Ball Wiki defined Sleeping and Stripping as official techniques.
12:19 Hercule: "Haha! I knew it! It's indeed all smoke and mirrors and this young lady here had proven me right!"
12:27 Hearts had to go with the classic "No One Defeats the Main Character But Me!" villain blunder.
Gosh, there were several for me to be sure. A couple for starters from back in the day were Bacterion, whose ability was silly but sensible and practical: overwhelm the opponents senses and use his great physique with lessened resistance. From World's Strongest, the rubbery blob guy who was fairly resilient and stretchy enough to just lob Roshis's Ki back at him and almost wrap himself around Goku, which could have left him vulnerable to attacks from below that the creature could survive if he didn't Kaioken through first.
Hey masako, in the gine-verse, since raditz is off exploring space, does that mean broly and paragus will be found early? I mean raditz has instant transmission, the farther he goes out the more likely he is to sense broly's power, and broly's power is pretty big not to notice.
It would be cool if Raditz gives Paragus and Broly a ride out of Vampa although he might hold his tongue after overhearing Paragus' grudge against King Vegeta for exiling Broly out of fear and jealously, and want his son pay for his father's sins.
This would be really cool! Maybe Paragus would know about Bardock, and therefore trust Raditz too.
@@fubaloo5183 Plus imagine Launch (Good or Bad) befriending and interacting with Broly too as well.
You need to KNOW the ki to Instant transmission to it so that won’t make broly discovery quicker I’m afraid
kickass12121 But he could sense the energy, so he could go there with the ship, right?
14:08 Dr. Rota: "Am I a joke to you?!"
Anyone else remembers Launch?
Toriyama: Who's Rem?
So.. when is the "What if King Carrot Trained Like Goku" video coming out then? ;)
King Carrot is actually oddly OP. I mean, touch the guy once, and you're produce. He could take down just about anyone who didn't alreadly know just by poking them.
I always wished one of the human characters had learned Ginyu's body snatching technique, and used it against one of the big villains of the series. I always thought that would be an interesting twist. Suddenly, one of the weaker characters in in a massively strong body, and the evil villain is basically on the weakest level possible.
Soooo Yamacha😂
So What If Ginyu Force Turned Good then?
and then the weak character turns corrupt with the power and is becomes the actual villain
IMAGINE TURNING FRIEZA INTO A MONKEY LOL.
@@user-dd7hv2sx5b Or Cell suddenly finds himself in Yamcha's body, can't compete with anyone and actually has to have some character growth and learn to live on Earth. It would be interesting to see a villain in a position where they HAD to get along with others and couldn't just default to throwing a tantrum and blowing up the earth.
8:18 MasakoX: "There is no Garlic Jr. Saga. MOVING ON!"
The Devilmite Beam of Devilman in Dragon Ball is pretty OP as heck because it allows Devilman to defeat opponents way far above his weight class if they have so much evil in their hearts like Frieza and King Cold or even Saiyan Saga Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz.
2:18 Batman: "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!"
0:09 George Takei: "Oooh myyyy..."
MasakoX: "Stop It."
So chiaotzu knows some odd magic stuff, why not do a what if with them as a sort of mage for the group, progressing by improvising and learning techniques from people likw the yardratians or guldo's paralysis and time stopping shenanigans. Could be interesting to see something so different compared to the usual fist fights or energy blasts that you'd expect these days, instead having someone with a far more diverse set of skills.
The best thing Chiaotzu ever did was against Nappa
@@noahholderman5725 exactly, chiaotzu should have been a really strange, quirky sort of mage with all these weird and unique powers, some helpful in fights, some more helpful as convenience
I kinda wish the dodon ray wasn't basically forgotten after the tournament with chiaotzu using it
The most intense battle that could ever happen in dragon ball: Monster carrot vs farmer with the shotgun
Masako: Most strange techniques
The word strangest: *Am I a joke to you?*
*struggles to think of a good comment*
It's OK! Glad to see you here all the same.
I suppose GT is on this list especially General Rildo
I'd imagine people want a monster carrot what if is because as far as I know he has no limit to his power. It would be pretty funny if some of the bigger threats were taken out due to a handshake.
This is gonna be a good discussion keep it up
6:42 Imagine the reactions of the Namekians if they learn of King Piccolo's so-called Demon children who are actually Mutant Namekians.
If Jaco the Galactic Patrolman was on Earth and saw King Piccolo's spawn, he would identify them as Namekians except far uglier looking and grotesque compared to standard Namekians.
5:24 It is a shame that Dragon Ball Z should have ended at Cell Saga on a high note and its prime to be well remembered with its legacy intact.
Dude!! I love your content! And so happy that you are the Creator and imaginative person you are! Thank you for being you and keep up the great work! VA, usa
Thanks, Daniel! We shall do our best!
There are two things that have kept me being a fan of db series, there transformations and weird techniques
i had an idea on a what if story, well 2 actually:
1. What if when Spopovitch and Yamu took Gohans energy/ki, there was too much ki for the receptical to handle, causing it to explode?
2. (not sure if you done this yet) What if Gohan never stopped training during the seven years leading up to his high school days?
I think Monster Carrot what ifs are an interesting idea because he's a character that had a lot of potential, he was early enough to have a lot of impact if something changed with him, and he would be hilarious against later enemies. I could see Freiza thinking nothing of him and being rude...then being a carrot.
The wierd powers are one of the reasons i like jojo's bizarre adventures, its still a shounen about big muscular dudes punching each other but they all have wierd gimmicky powers making the fights less about how hard they can punch and more about how they can use their powers to counter the villains powers. I love DBZ but a lot of the time it feels like the fights are decided by having a bigger number than the opponent
Just write a "If Monster Carrot Returned!" Arc, I'd say your choice of which arc he'd show up in
I always imagined Goku springing up in bed one day remembering that he never let the Carrot gang back down.
Favorite weird powers in DragonBall history: Universe 2. I know it's a parody, and I appreciate it. He actually made them tough opponents yet sweet characters. And they gave me a reason to be impressed by 17 in this arc (up to that point). Interrupting a flashy transformation sequence? I always wanted someone to try that!
I always imagined Goku springing up in bed one day remembering that he never let the Carrot gang back down.
both weird powers can be used effectively if the user gets creative so its fun and can get serious cause it not used enough to counter effently
13:20 masako:ya cant touch him cause hes too hot
Me:Laughs in Nouva shenron
Ending you with his tongue...
Kakyoin is that you?
What I prefer are weird/interesting powers with serious strength to boot. And Goku somehow 'monkey see monkey do'ing those powers to an extent, mixing them with some of his own, and keeping up in a fun way through a cool battle.
The latter didn't happen with him but I really like Goku Black's ki blade and scythe. And in the manga I love his ability to open portals and attack through them.
The guy with the evil beam who fought against kid Goku. That move is both op and whacky!
Thank you Masako for making my quarantine better
Saibamen were something weird too and Princess Snake maybe worth a mention.
I like that Magetta is often grouped as one of the U6 frontliners. For me his fight with Vegeta is when Super really kicked off as its own series, and it's hard having a non-major villain or race (saiyan, namekian, etc.) gain notoriety. Goes to show how clever use of wacky skills can go a long way.
i like the evil rabbit because it gave a story purpose to bulma's bunny outfit. you know, as if it needed to have one.
Yeah Lauss is my favorite antagonist in Dragon Ball Heroes besides the Leader of the dark Empire; her unique ability to use magic glass and moves faster than Ultra Instinct Omen is pretty dangerous and effective and I wish she was used more!
I don't think Majin Buu's powers were ever supposed to be wacky or unexpected. They were an extension of his childish character which was the way it was because we see him grow throughout the arc. I never thought they got old, but I love the buu arc (much more than the android saga which I really don't like). The internet seems to love when things are always taken seriously and I don't understand why.
A mix of weird powers and serious powers is good.
I still dislike how Majora lost because of a joke though.
Interesting...I don't know why but I now *also* want what-ifs based on that rabbit.
Surprised you didn't mention Piccolo (both Sr and Jr) turning giant. Or regenerating limbs, for that matter, which was also a novelty at the time. I'd actually like to hear your thoughts about Piccolo turning giant and why he never used that in Z against Raditz or Nappa or Freeza.
Or, like, literally everything that Tenshinhan does. Tenshinhan is the master of weird tricks and sadly for him they all get hijacked by the other characters. He never gets the credit he deserves for originating the Solar Flare or the multiform technique. The multiform technique is the ultimate in "useless but cool gimmick," but I swear if the Dragon Team had thought about it, they could've found uses for it. Especially outside of fighting. Think of how useful it could've been to leave one form somewhere while having another go on a trip to do something, even if they were both half-strength.
I wish giant t nameks were in z to but I think that the reason it isn't used much is because it doesn't raise your power at all (besides muscles size maybe)
Weird powers for the underlings and serious for the big baddie. Weird powers make for a good obstacle, you have the Heroes having to figure out how to beat a tricky foe instead of just fight a foe that's on par with them (unless they need to be down quickly, then transformation easily outclass them).
Yeah. And if that transformation isn't enough, they go to the next tier... and the next... and the next... and if they _can't_ go further, then they'll just pull a new form out of their butt...
Also, it's kinda weird for me how they think weird powers matter when the opponent can just vaporize them. I think that you have to be both strong _and_ have unique powers.
Happy birthday to me! I watching MasakoX without my family!
I don't watch dbh anymore but a Glass dragon vs dragon fist or the dragon Kamehameha sounds cool
Btw the dragon Kamehameha is a video game move from the dbh games
All I Know is Dr. Rota technique was and forever will be the best technique in all off Dragonball and its fan manga spinoffs
Idk if you've touched on this before, but what do you think of different beam colors having different properties? I personally find that blue signifies blunt force, purple signifies piercing, yellow is fire/heat based, and green is corrosive/corruptive. The best examples I have are the Kamehameha, special beam cannon, heat dome attack, and that big ball explosion that broly does in DBS:B (sorry don't know the name of it). Would love to hear what you think!
Hmm, we hadn't really thought of that. That's a good point. You make a good point. Good point, CrossFire!
@@MasakoX thank you! Love your content!
To this I say, gimmicky techniques gave us the para para dance
To clarify, I do enjoy gimmicky techniques, I think they add a third dimension to combat, more than "who has the higher power level?", but they're not *all* great.
It’s always intriguing to picture what is possible in a fictional perspective.
Devilmite beam, all those sagas which would have ended instantly.
That attack is hilarious in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, it pretty much one-shot kills all villain characters but then with Goku and other good guys it doesn't do any damage.
My favourite unconventional power was the evil growth explosion beam that the Devil used in the original Dragon Ball, not so much for it's actual use in the manga but the idea of it. The idea of an attack that latches into even the smallest bit of evil in a persons soul and makes it grow as energy until it explodes was pretty cool. In the manga all the Devil did was use it on Goku and have it fail because of Goku's pure heart but I remember one of the Budokai games brought it back for a what if scenario.
In the scenario, Frieza and King Cold arrive a little earlier to Earth after Namek blew up than they did in the original story so none of the main Z fighters or Future Trunks had shown up yet to stop them. However the Devil had arrived and despite the ridiculous power gap between him and the two of them he had to fight them to save the Earth. You barely did any damage to them with your regular attacks and they could easily take massive chunks of your life bar away if they hit you, but the way to win was to use the evil beam and watch it near enough one shot them because they are some of the most evil characters in the entire series. I just like the idea that the Devil was clearly still outmatched in raw power level against them but he had the potential to still be a threat because his power uses the opponents evil against it. If I remember correctly if you used the beam on Goku in game it wouldn't do any damage unless he was in Super Saiyan and had anger in his heart, while if it was used on any of the big villains like Cell or Buu it would just nuke their healthbar.
if you want odd powers and madcap fusions I recommend Sawai's manga/anime series BOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBO
There's only so many times you can see energy beams and giant explosions until you get sick of them. Give me Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack or Galactic Donuts any day!
Galactic Donuts is just an energy blast, except it's shaped like a ring. Meanwhile, SGKA is just a bunch of energy blasts that happen to be sentient.
4:40 The sunglasses.
Honestly, it may not be particularly buizarre, but I love whenever they acknowledge that Krillin lacks a nose :P It always feels very silly when they do that :)
Hey, if Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has taught me anything, it's that weird and random superpowers are awesome -- and as Dragonball teaches us, you don't need a cool ghost companion to pull them off ;)
The attacks mentioned in the intro are just Superboy Prime (Dimension punching) and Lickitung (The tongue one). Together they make the ultimate team
The great ape transformation is jot usually controlled in the saiyan race Vegeta and Nappa were exceptions because they trained thoroughly to control it most other saiyans just used it to destroy a planet’s savagely and random
Masako, idea: what if Trunks NEVER went to the past. I know it's pretty out there, and probably challenging, but seeing the story you've created with Frieza and also Zamasu... i think you could do it. Your storytelling is very developed i must say.
If Trunks never goes to the past, the Future Trunks timeline takes place. Trunks going to the past is what changes everything in the first place.
It's not about power being weird or serious.
It's all comes to the good use of it.
Yeah that would have been a cold clash the Dragon fistclashing against her glass dragon attack or ultra instinct dragon fist that would have looked at so clean 💯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I think weird techniques. Because then you get some unique ways on how to defeat your opponent. Just look at jojo and it's stand abilities or the bosses in twilight princess
The character is just nerer brought up again depist him technically dieing to piccolo in a when the moon is blown up
Majin Ozotto: Weird powers you say?
I always found Dabura's Stone Spit ability just odd. Its had all the practicality of Monster Carrot, but also had a really weird narrative thread of having Piccolo and Krillin turning into stone to not participate in the Babidi Arc. Like....ok. They're stone, but doesn't that threat kinda become pedantic when Majin Vegeta turns to stone in his sacrifice against Buu? Why have the Stone Spit?
Dub names. Dub names everywhere.
Here's a what-if for you. What if Bulma never left Yamcha, but instead just cheated on him with her boytoy Vegeta to make Trunks? Vegeta never moved in to Capsule Corp., leaving Yamcha in the unfortunate position of Dale Gribble, as he raises Trunks (up to a point; I'm sure Veggie would kidnap Trunks to train him and stuff), unaware even after the boy becomes a Super Saiyan that he's not the actual father.
How funny would it be to see the "bargain sale" scene turned on its head? Just imagine as the poor dolt beams with pride that his son is so powerful at such a young age.
And before anyone asks, yes of course she and Geets have another fling to make Bra.
Also, I would think that Son Goku is with Yamcha in blissful ignorance of the truth.
I wonder what Frieza thinks of Moro Running Ramshod over his Empire.
I prefer unique abilities rather than the usual fighting fanfare, but ultimately it all comes down to the Wrighting that would make the difference in of having a gimmick or a unique ability.
If anyone is a huge fan of Warframe you know what I'm talking about.
What strange techniques or Ki school would you make/study under
RIP the otherworld tournament fighters.
3:24 IS THAT A PERSONA REFERENCE?! Lol
I can already say that Monster Carrot what-ifs likely stem from TFS playing him up to be the ultimate Villain (Top 25 villains, and Attack of the Saiyans). Who needs Ultra Instinct or True Golden Frieza if you just turn Jiren into a carrot?
Hey, they made it seem like a joke - but I choose to believe that he actually could have done that and ended them right there if he got the chance. His powers are played for laughs, but logically he could beat almost any character in the show.
12:35 Are you sure that Lagss is not a Glass Dragon Slayer from Fairy Tail?
Did I miss mention of Giran and his bubblegum whip tongue thing?
Sad, No mention of Gotenks ghosts.
Love Gotenks for his creative abilities
These are the ones I prefer because the battles aren't boring as a result. Seriously I can only take lasers and nondescript punching for so long before I get sick and tired of it and that was before the Freeza saga even finished. I say that the fighting standard is the gimmick not the other way around, a gimmick that has more than overstayed it's welcome. I would love for Glass girl to be given her proper due in an actually well written story which is unfortunately a high bar for dragon ball. As for monster Carrot, it is because of it's power that completely invalidates strength and is actually interesting in useful application. That wacky and unusualness provides a interesting hurdle to overcome, and monster Carrot's abilities provide an actual niche that will always be effective, especially for it's sleeper like qualities. So permanently fuse Baba, Bulma, and monster Carrot together. That way you have an interesting character with an interesting and ever relevant moveset. Seriously Dragon ball needs variety and lots of it. I wonder if glass girl could be a rival and possible fusion candidate for the Z fighter mermaid. Water and glass combined with Ki? Now that is a mesmerizing combination and an awfully difficult one to fight to boot.
Too bad we never got to see Dr. Rota's ability. He could have been the greatest example of weird powers in all of Dragon Ball.
the answer isn't either one or the other it's using weird powers in a serious way
what's really more frightening,being atomized in like 5 secs or being torned into a gingerbread man and having each limb slowly gnawed off and finally getting your head crunched?
i say the hunter x hunter / later yuyu hakusho style of more strategy based powers over plain overpowering is a little more fun
What-ifs with Monster Carrot are especially (to me) a wonderful stand against 'power level nonsense', especially in the face of some series that basically turned into power levels and nothing else.
*mile-long stare at Aizen's "stronger Reiatsu can negate everything" moment*
Also the memes hath empowered him, so naturally it's worth asking for CX
Zig zag, in out, double whammy!!!!
So super buu can basically cough and open a portal to another dimension
yep, but Buu was STILL more creative with his moves then Cell... there I said it... :-P
Your doing amazing I love the videos
Yeah my bois Botamo and Megetta
MasakoX do you play RuneScape?
Both? If there was one thing the ToP got to show off was the unusual vs the usual in a spectacular display. Besides both belong in Dragonball and I think it needs to have the weird at least from time to time.
Will we be getting some Dr Slump cameos in Dragonball R&R?? :)
So basically like I’ve been saying since the tournament of power, Botamos Power was retconned and His elimination was BS. They were lazy and took the easy way out to eliminate him from the story. SMH
Honestly, I like when the dragon Ball series gets a bit weird. I saw this being a huge fan of Western comic books, but when they are mostly just having martial arts fights with the occasional energy blast ki attack it's just a bit too close to superhero stuff. If I'm going to watch anime or read manga I tend to like something a bit different.
One can't even call it martial arts anymore, it is just nondescript punching and kicking. No different than your stereotypical delinquents. I guess Chichi nailed it on the head with that one.
@@andresmarrero8666 Shame no one likes Chichi either
