Changes to Canon
I'm writing this chapter to explain any changes I will be made to the canon world of Dragon Ball and its characters. While I love dragon ball and its world, we all know Toriyama rarely thought too far ahead when he was writing, and though I'm not mad at him for that as all writers have their weak points, I think I could do a little better than him in that department. Now before any fan starts yelling at me for thinking that I, a fanfiction writer, am better in any way than Toriyama, hear me out.
Most of the plot holes in Dragon Ball are from Super, and before that the world was just fine, at least as far as I could tell. You have to understand that Toriyama and the other writers of dragon ball were really being pushed at that point, and obviously, this would tire them out, hindering their performance. So no, I don't think I can do better than them normally, however when you write something for so long you will inevitably get sick of writing it, and we all saw the effects of that with super. I just think that I can fix the plot holes and make a few other changes while I'm at it. If you aren't okay with this, then you should find another fanfic to read.
Now that all of that's out of the way let's get into the changes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-First lets go over the character changes. Some of the characters are going to be their abridges counterparts, not because I don't think the original ones were good characters, but because the characters I am changing will only be changed for comedic purposes. This is going to be my first attempt at writing comedy, and having a few of the abridged characters will make it a lot easier, and although I don't believe that my skills can compare to Team Four Star, I will try my best. However, don't expect much, at least at first.
Now, the characters that will be changed will be the following: Tien, Nappa, Popo, Guru, and Dende. There will be a few changes to the plot because of their changes, however as its only five it wont be to different from canon.
2-Next the system of Ki. Here, Ki is just the word that refers to all the parts of their spirit. Their Genki is their lifeforce, it is the stuff that keeps them out of the otherworld and it it the stuff that is used for techniques like the tri beam and spirit bomb. It slowly decreases as a person lives their life and whenever they are injured. Yuki is a persons courage, this is a determining factor in the potency of Ki and its power, so if a person fears something, then their Ki becomes weaker. Shoki is a persons state of mind, and it determines Ki control. The calmer a person is, the easier it is to control their Ki, and the more of that Ki they can use.
Those last three are canon parts of Ki that Toriyama described, but this last part is my own thing. Chi is the part of Ki that is used for normal attacks like waves and blasts, and is also used to enhance the body. Chi is enhanced by strong Yuki and easier to control with calm Shoki. Chi is also the aspect of the soul that displays the users intentions, which allows those who can sense Ki to know whether or not they malicious intentions. This is also the stuff that is detected by scouters.
3-Varients of Ki. There will be three variants of Ki. The first is the normal one, which mortals are naturally born with. The next is super Ki, which can be naturally obtained via a transformation using S cells. S cells will only be present in Saiyan's and Half-Saiyan's, so for now only they can achieve it. Super Ki has the effect of multiplying the potency of Ki up to whatever the limit of the body is. In a Saiyan, the super Ki works normally at first, multiplying power by fifty times, which is the limit of a normal Saiyan body, however by expanding the muscles and sometimes the hair Saiyan's can reach higher multipliers. If a Saiyan masters the power of the super Ki their body can handle, then the limit of their super Ki multiplier will expand, resulting in higher transformations. This isn't a luxury of any other race, however super Ki can still be obtained by them through artificial means, which will be explained later on.
God Ki is the third variant, and it is also the most powerful. Instead of multiplying power to the limit of a persons body, it instead transforms the base body to increase its limit to the minimum threshold required to use god Ki. God Ki and Super Ki can be combined, however it is incredibly difficult, unless you have S cells and a Saiyan body to help you out. More about this will be explained later on, however I want to keep it a secret for now.
4- Super Saiyan 3. It is my theory that the long haired super Saiyan transformation is just the super Saiyan two version of SSJ grade 2. Meaning that the canon SSJ3 is actually just SSj2 grade 2, and not truly SSJ3. My theory is that excess Ki can be stored in the muscles, making them bigger, which, when taken to an extreme degree using super Ki, results in SSJ grade 3. However Saiyan's can also store Ki in their hair, which is why it changes color when their Ki changes color. With the SSJ3 transformation the extra energy is instead stored in the hair instead of the muscles ( I don't have an excuse for the missing eye brows), however as we have seen with SSJ and SSJ2 the transformation shouldn't have to big of a change on the body, aside from slightly bigger muscles for SSJ or slightly longer hair for SSJ2. What I'm getting at is that the real SSJ3 would have slightly larger muscles or longer hair, however the effects should be as huge as what we call SSJ3. So, letting you know now, Kaz will help the Saiyan's find the true SSJ3 later on.
5- The Multiverse. In this version of Dragon Ball, there will only be two universes, which are universe seven and six. This is for a plot point later on, but rest assured that the other universes and Zeno still exist, they will just be introduced to the main characters at the same time that Beerus and Champa meet them. I don't want to spoil to much about the final arcs of this story, so we will leave it at that for now.
I am going to make more changes, however I will only add them to this list as we get to them.
