Hi, I’m KENTA, a big fan of manga from Japan! In this post, I’ll explore what would happen if Goku never existed in the world of Dragon Ball. Famous scenes and iconic moments might have played out completely differently… Let’s dive into this “what if” scenario and have some fun imagining an alternate Dragon Ball universe!
Bulma’s Adventure In the original story, Bulma sets out on her journey to find the Dragon Balls using her Dragon Radar. She finds one at Gohan’s house and convinces him to give it to her. But, without Goku, how would Bulma have managed to get the Dragon Ball from Gohan? It’s possible that Gohan, being an old man, might have been lenient with her.
After that, without Goku, Bulma would have been attacked and likely eaten by the Pteranodon. This is the first major divergence. Without Goku’s help, Bulma’s adventure could have ended there.
The Fate of Turtle Without Goku, Turtle would also be in a tough spot. In the original story, Turtle is rescued by Goku after being stranded. But without Goku, he would continue to be lost, never returning to the sea. Time would just pass, and Turtle would remain stranded. Maybe someone else might help one day, but without Goku, that chance seems slim.
