Here's what should have happened (in my opinion) 

1. Cell comes back after his explosion and in all of the smoke, he fires a death beam at Gohan!

2. Trunks rushing to save Gohan (his bestfriend) whom he could never see die again gets hit in the chest. The beam goes right through Trunks at hits Gohan in the arm weakening him for the final battle (Gohan was only in his SSJ 1 form at that moment and Cell would definitely want to hit him with a blast for what Gohan had just done to him)

The coolest part of this idea is that the timeline's would attempt to repeat themselves in our present time!

3. After Trunks hits the ground, Vegeta should have raged into SSJ2 and blown cell into HELL! THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC.


Vegeta should have saved the Earth! Wouldn't it be so wholesome and ironic? Vegeta being the savior of the planet. 

In terms of the rest of the story, it would play out almost exactly how it does originally.

Goku would remain dead until the Buu Arc.  

The only difference in the Buu arc would be that Vegeta would chose to go under Babadi's spell after catching glimpse of Goku's SSJ3 (Instead of SSJ2) power against Yakkon. 

This would have been so much better writing leading up to and through the buu saga.

I don't necessarily think Vegeta should have gained ssj2..or if he did it wouldn't be stronger than Cell . however I would have liked it if when Vegeta rushed to Cell and shouts "Cell!!!" He should have fought him hand to hand instead of the senseless battery of ki blasts....the fight goes on for a while...Cell knocks Vegeta out (similar to how he actually did) and then fires a blast at him Wich Gohan then takes

Smitty232

I disagree because SSJ2 isn’t a transformation based on rage like SSJ. Gohan achieved it by releasing his hidden power that had been teased throughout the entire series. IMO, I believe that their power has to reach a certain lvl before they can access it. Thought’s?

Smitty232

Vegeta’s kamikaze solidified his change as a good person regardless of Buu surviving or not

William Pahau

that would have been cool too , an alternate timeline where this happened id be down to watch that

Darren Metts

I disagree because it would have been inconsistent writing for vegeta to have reached ssj2 when goku who was stronger than him couldn’t even do it and vegeta was literally sti a super saiyan tier behind him

Tori

NGL I think what they did with vegeta now is better. Part of this is because vegeta going ss2 here would undermine babadi decision and lessen the impact of Cohan being named succesor

BarisTeeAnime

Imagine Goku pushed SSJ3 power into Yakkon's mouth! Vegeta would have still felt the same way and would still want to go under Babadi's control!

Enrique Pena

Facts 💯 Vegeta definitely should have turned SSJ 2 in that moment. But unfortunately Toriyama is a Vegeta hater. Bro imagine SSJ 2 Vegeta and SSJ 2 Teen Gohan teaming up vs Super Perfect Cell! 🔥🔥🔥

Chinese Duck Sauce

I kind of agree/disagree, I think Vegeta should have gotten a transformation but have it not be super Saiyan 2, let it be something unique to him (like how legendary super Saiyan is unique to Broly). I personally never wanted Vegeta to follow in the footsteps of Goku and Gohan because I always felt like he was a step behind all the time. So him having his own thing as a prince would be better fitting.

Malik

I think vegeta needed that build up of anger/resentment for character growth. At the end of the Buu saga he finally acknowledges Goku as being the best, I don’t think he would have done that if he defeated Cell.

Enrique Pena

Did you notice Vegeta was in his SSJ 1 transformation the whole time during the cell games. He was doing the same thing Goku and Gohan did when they’re were relaxing their SSJ1 transformations during cell saga. So Vegeta could have transformed into SSJ 2 no problem.

Maury

I think it played out pretty good as it was. It showed some character development for vegeta, and the writers had to weaken gohan somehow, because if cell and gohan fought again straight away, it would've been a medium difficulty win for gohan. Surely gohan gauged cell's power when he returned and he wasn't phased at all. Also, this cell saga was where gohan finally tapped in to his hidden power that had been teased since the start of dbz. To then have vegata snatch the win would undermine that whole build up of gohan being an absolute beast.

Darknessrider .

As someone who's favorite character is Vegeta. I still say no, since that would take away from what they built up with Gohan who has always had this crazy hidden power and now finally it's been unleashed. For Vegeta to match it suddenly would cheapen it. And Vegeta also gets his moment in against Cell when it really matters in a couple of episodes. I think that episode is my favorite in the entire series and I wouldn't want it to change at all lol. Can't wait to see Madison's reaction to that epic beam struggle and all that happens during it.

Vlucius

I say no because Vegeta is a character that doesn’t get rage boosts like gohan does. He has never gotten one in the many fights we saw him in: Not against Goku, Zarbon, Recoome, Frieza, Android 18, and now Cell. He always uses his pride as his source of power

Interested Goku

I disagree because, yes Vegeta probably would've destroyed Cell, however he only has true regard for his son(and maybe even a little for Gohan) as to where Gohan snapped at the death of an android which shows he's more full of love for life than Vegeta. Even moreso, he never trained how to walk around as a Super Saiyan which would discredit Goku & Gohan's training to reach SSJ2

Jaehwa Jeong

I agree! Also, didn't Vegeta train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber once more?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but He was the only Saiyan to go in there twice!! It's like the show forgot he trained there. His power should've increased by a lot if he trained for another year's worth of time. Thus, we all know how seriously Vegeta trains. Moreover, he didn't have anyone in there with him. I personally think he gets better results when he trains as a lone wolf. If anybody else had the potential to go SSJ2 after Gohan, it should've been Vegeta.

CountChopulla

I believe Toriyama originally wanted Gohan to be the MC from this point on but the fan base threw a fit. The entire show was supposed to end at Freiza and then it was to pass the show to Gohan and this was that point.

CountChopulla

@baris. How far are you two in the show? Curious because of your mention of SSJ3 and Buu here. And I assume you personally have finished Super? Have you read the Manga beyond the ending of Super? Keep up the amazing content! Like I said, there’s a reason this is the only Patreon I’m subscribed to.

Indy Singh

Yeah it would have been nice but you know Toriyama and his hatred of Vegeta. I dont understand it tbh, if you're going to continuously shit on a character you created, why make him awesome in the first place?

Robert

No way because this is like one of the very few times the final fight doesn't revolve around Vegeta or Goku. Besides Vegeta only ever goes into rage mode once and it's in super, it's not a thing for him in Z.

Kush Patel

I disagree only because I feel that vegeta shoulda gotten the dub in the final atonement when fighting Majin buu. The whole speech about Goku haunting him for so long and how he wanted to save the earth and his friend(Goku) and family was awesome character development for him. He literally said “ kakarot when this is all over I maybe gone but rest assured this planet will be safe” . He even said “this time is my turn”

BarisTeeAnime

Madison is the one who hasn't seen DBZ! I'm here along for the ride with everybody else lol! We're literally at the last episode posted on Patreon. The uploads I do are within 12 hours of watching the episode or less!

Moker_B

Would be cool, but Vegeta has his moment regardless when he fires the final attack on Cell, making it possible for Gohan to finish Cell!

Penificent

It would have seriously defeated the purpose of the whole Ssj2 Gohan build up

Arekasune

I like the idea with regards to how Trunks goes down, but Vegeta turning SS2 I've gotta disagree on. It would've cheapened everything Gohan just did, and Vegeta's character just wasn't there yet.

DomzTunes

No. Gohan went SSJ2 a couple of episodes before.

Ildn

I feel like Vegeta should have just stayed out of it entirely. We might have seen a bit of a fight instead of going straight into a beam struggle against a crippled Gohan. Then we would finally know for sure who's stomping who between Gohan SSJ2 and SPC.

Cullen

I think that Vegeta does get his moment later by landing the attack that distracts Cell for Goku to tell Gohan to finish him off so they do kind of redeem him in that moment as if not for Vegeta then Cell would have finished Gohan and destroyed the Earth. That’s just been my feeling about his arc.

Mike Lee

keep it short and simple from me... Couldn't agree more!!! Vegeta always will be my favourite character!

George

Naw Vegeta didn’t even complete super Sayian

Mightybeast

1. Cell intentions was to kill trunks as a statement of you cant travel anymore, this time you all die, is his way of eliminating all possible threats to the present and future. so this eliminates number 2, but is Truth that Trunks trauma could had let him to jump to save Gohan. Dbz at this point is not ready to see yet Vegeta turn Ssj2, the fight between Cell and Gohan was a matter of Legacy and Vegeta turning Ssj would had kill this. As a fan of Vegeta yes i think we all was wishing for a moment of shine from vegeta like he saving the earth but that would have mess up his character, i can explain this in more detal of why it would had kill Vegeta character if ask but for the last point, the reason why the fight between Goku and Vegeta was so epic is because everyone thought they had the same power, vegeta catching a glimpsy of Ss3 Goku would had put Goku above him and again mess with the emotion of thinking they fighting on equal grounds, the second and most important thing is that Dbz wanted to point out the big difference between Goku and Vegeta and why Goku will always come up on top and is because Goku intelligence about fighting is bigger than Vegeta, Vegeta explains this at the end of the Buu saga when he said Goku is number 1.

Luke8694

Trunks going down like that would’ve been awesome probably while saying something like “NOOOO! I won’t let history repeat itself!” But Vegeta going SSJ 2 now just undermines everything Gohan went through. It was only a few episodes ago that he was smirking and thinking how Goku would lose and he’d finish the job. Seeing Goku’s sacrifice is what first shook Vegeta but Trunks dying just obliterated his selfish thoughts for the time being.

K-RayTV

I agree as an alternative universe this would have been great and when I was a kid I was mad that Vegeta didn't go SSJ2 in that moment. Now however to me it wouldn't have made sense. Vegeta base was to low at the time so him transforming into SSJ2 wouldn't have mattered as SPC was stronger than him. Gohan in form 2 took a hit that took 50% of his power and still had enough to destroy cell. Gohan was in a league of his own and no matter if anyone transformed they would have been weaker and not enough to defeat SPC. Remember in the next saga Gohans Teen SSJ2 is the benchmark for power for everyone else's ascended level

NS

It would have been interesting, but it wouldn't have felt right. Getting a SSJ2 Vegeta so soon after SSJ2 was introduced via Gohan would have felt too rushed

NS

This is true. Goku was supposed to stay dead after the Cell Saga but that didn't fly with the fans. That's also why Goten was designed to look so similar to a young Goku; because Goku was supposed to be gone

NS

I cannot wait for episode 191. Peak anime moment

NS

Yes, Goku could go SSJ3 during the tournament in the Buu Saga, but there was also a 7 year time skip. He had time to train and learn it

Mr.Fly

It's a good perspective but I don't agree for 2 reasons. First, it was Goku and Gohan's moment and this ending completely kills that. Second, at this time in history, Vegeta needs to evolve. Vegeta is not a hero by default, Vegeta chose to be. For this reason, it was beautiful. He chose to be a hero when he sacrificed himself against buu.

Tony

Vegeta still didnt master the supersaiyan form completely like gohan and goku did. Also he far was far far weaker than even goku. It would’ve made no sense if vegeta went ssj2

erodas

Ssj2 Vegeta would still be a lot weaker than Super Perfect Cell.

Jon

the only writing i would 100% change in dragonball is people coming back from death by the dragon more than once and yamcha should have died to android 19, piccolo to imperfect cell. toriyamaaaa why didn't you make it like this :(((((( dbz would have gone from a 4.99999999/5 to a 5/5

William Pahau

Yeah in super vegeta is super inconsistent when he raged against beerus and was able to fight him but goku at super saiyan 3 got destroyed

Jay Kenito

Nah man... that sounds like the most depressing intake I've ever read lol

Jon

thanks for your input!! i know right i agree its depressing but the greatest shows have loss in them otherwise there isn't any emotion, also the people that die all end up having minimal impact on the story thereafter (chiaotzu, yamcha and picollo) so my version makes TOO much sense i sweear.... at the end of the buu saga it will only be goku gohan goten trunks and a few others standing and it could have a beautiful panel where they look up at the sky and all those lost along the way are drawn looking down smiling and the boom the show COMPLETELY ends.

ShadowSlayer5000

Nah Vegeta was far far far weaker than Gohan he wouldn’t have been able to achieve SSJ2 even if he tried

LX

I couldn't agree more that would be perfect and can picture it playing out that way.

Geri91

You're totally right. Vegeta couldn't reach SSJ2 in all those years after Gokus death. It literally took him to go "Majin Vegeta" to achieve SSJ2 and this is what I don't get. How is it possible that a working beast like Vegeta, who works as hard as Goku, couldn't achieve SSJ2 in .......what's the timeskip...6....7....8 years (I can't remember exactly how long the timeskip was)

Dan Stabile

Vegeta does train just as hard as Goku but he doesn't train as smartly. I believe if Vegeta had trained with Trunks the same as Goku had with Gohan then both Vegeta and Trunks would've come out of the time chamber stronger than Goku and Gohan did. My reasoning is that it wouldn't have taken Trunks as long to get close enough to Vegeta's power then it would've Gohan to catch Goku, so Vegeta would start getting zenkai boosts earlier in his training than Goku did from all the sparring.

NS

It's implied that Vegeta reached SSJ2 during the timeskip and before the Buu Saga began, but he was still weaker than SSJ2 Goku. He wanted the help of Babidi because he wanted the extra boost to be stronger than Goku; not to reach SSJ2.

Mark M

vegeta will talk for us, he will talk about this, gohan ssj2 could've beat dabura. goku understood when vegeta said gohan slacked his ssj2 could never rival vegeta vs goku

Mark M

never! i like her and she will understand. hahaha cant wait for majin saga

James Pierce

I disagree. Vegeta taking this from Gohan made little sense, and as others have noted, he doesn't get rage boosts like Gohan. The only way he gets stronger after Zenkai boosts is with his absurdly diligent training, though Goku's ridiculous fight IQ makes him more innovative than Vegeta in that regard. That being said, I would have totally done stuff differently than was done in the Buu saga because unlike the rest of Z, which develops Gohan, the Buu saga DOES focus much more on Vegeta. And while it would have been a much different process of getting there (lots of extra battles and stuff to establish Buu's danger), I'd have had the Final Explosion finish Buu. Because that would be the act that solidifies Vegeta's change as a good person with love for his family.

Luke Price

Nah there's no way Vegeta could have even reached SS2 when he hadn't even mastered SS1 yet. Plus narratively it would make no sense to take the victory away from Gohan when he was way above Vegeta at that point.

Jason Mako

I agree Vegeta should get more of a boost seeing Trunks die from Cell, but it would take away so much of the tension with just Gohan facing this newly powered Perfect Cell.
