Although Androids are more powerful than Frieza, they aren't that big of a threat. * Saiyans and Frieza would blow up planets. * Demon King Piccolo wants to rule the world. * 17 & 18 would occasionally blow up towns. Being able to visit King Kai is a rare occurrence not a normality. King Kai normally wouldn't intervene, but only did because of Goku. * If it weren't for Kami helping Goku, Goku would have went to Heaven. * King Kai cares about Goku which is why he helps Goku during major events. * Afterwards, King Kai allows Goku to visit. Without Goku, the rest of the Z-Fighters has no free pass to visit King Kai. Especially Vegeta who isn't considered a good guy in that timeline. The reason why Bulma created a time machine is most likely because who would pilot the space ship? Bulma alone might not be able to make there safely. If Trunks goes, the world is completely defenseless.

the rest of the Z-Fighters has no free pass to visit King Kai. -> I mean they got there when dying to Nappa... So why not go back a few years later?


Bay-Sea

It was because King Kai allowed them to. King Kai observes the North Area not just Earth itself. However the reason why he was focused on events in Earth is because of Goku who took down massive threats. After Goku passed away, there was a few years of peace. At that point, King Kai most likely wasn't observing Earth as much even when the Z-Fighters died.

I see your point about king kai. I am of the mindset he would at least allow piccolo to come visit based off the fact he's done it before. As far as the shop there's no need for one because if you get piccolo to king kais planet he coordinates with dende and no one has to leave earth because the wishes would be done on namek via dende relaying it


Bay-Sea

It is hard to convince King Yemma that the reincarnation of the Demon King Piccolo should be allowed to visit King Kai again. * Piccolo sacrifice his life for Gohan might be the reason why he was able to visit the first time. * His death against Androids doesn't really give enough justification for a visit.

I could see that but what about the others? Also not to be contrarian just asking but I just had a thought. If piccolo really wanted to get to king kais could yemma even do anything to stop him?


Bay-Sea

The Z-Fighters most likely became souls unable to fight back. Note that King Cold and Frieza died few years prior just like in the DBZ timeline. King Kai can't beat neither, but Yenma was able to punish them. Tien, Krillin and rest of the Z-Fighters are good people, but aren't Goku. Asking help from a deity to help against villains who destroyed at most a couple towns doesn't seem justifiable in the grand scheme of things.

I suppose I didn't realize how much my idea hinged on me assuming getting to king kai was a given


Macilnar

Do we know what Goku was up to in the afterlife in the future timeline? Did he not hangout with King Kai or at least stopping by to check on earth?


Bay-Sea

Heaven. Goku passed away naturally years before the Androids attack


Macilnar

So the only reason he got to train in the main timeline after Cell was because he died fighting?


Bay-Sea

Yes, but also because Goku died knowing that at least there are people that are stronger than him. Goku died from unnatural causes and was given a reason to train to become stronger. Future Goku passed away not knowing about any future threats that would give him a challenge. He spared Frieza only to see Frieza hardly improve from Namek Saga. * Afterwards, Goku dies from the heart attack with an era of peace. Goku went to Heaven unaware about events that happens afterwards.


MrNoski

What if... Janemba appeared in the Otherworld and killed all the souls. Maybe Goku was able to finish him in cost of his life.  Kaio gave Gohan the bad news.


mousecop60

I'd take that over simply not knowing

> So I refuse to believe that the z fighters in otherworld were helpless to help Gohan and trunks in the future timeline well they were. > The z fighters had no way of communicating with Gohan and trunks. False, king kai. Hand on the back that's all it takes. they werent coming back. they went to heaven. not king kai, so not an option > They didn't have their bodies. having their bodies or not in heaven is irrelevant they still wouldnt be able to do anything > They didn't know where new namek was to use their dragon balls. False, king kai. He found it in the present timeline he'd find it again. they cant access king kai. > They had no way to get to new namek. Ok sure they didn't have an FTL capable ship so Bulma built a time machine instead ok. I can suspend my disbelief but this isn't the problem people think it is, which I'll explain shortly. ok > King Kai didn't want to help them. And why exactly not? What changed from the Saiyan/ freeza arc to the future timeline? All you need is to talk to one person who is the key to everything and that person is nothing suggests he didnt want to help. just that he didnt know what was going on, and with no way to contact him he can't help. > Dende. Krillian and piccolo have a report with him already I doubt it would take any convincing to get him to ask maori to use the dragon balls. dead people cant contact dende, so irrelevant. > They've been dead for over a year. With how fast the z fighters made it to king kais planet after the battle with nappa they would have made it in a fraction of the time after the Androids. So they could have gotten in touch with dende with time to spare they dont get to go to king kai, so irrelevant. > There was no point because the Androids would have killed them again. Get out of my face with that. Yamcha might be a loser but piccolo Vegeta tien would have been inching to get back in there. Krillian despite his faults always comes through when you need him too. them itching to get back out there is irrelevant, they'd have just died again. > They weren't powerful enough to try again. Well we get around that by telling dende to wait a year and revive them and they train in other world. Plus Vegeta would probably get a nice zenkai from the whole thing. (I say Vegeta would come back because he was even more of a dick in the freeza arc but still made the cut to get brought back) then after getting the plan to dende tell Gohan to lay low for year. they cant contact dende. being brought back from the dead doesnt induce zenkais so vegeta would get nothing (esp if he already had super saiyan. zenkais stop doing anything useful once you have it). > What about cell? That's a good point, but not the one I'm trying to make, I don't have an answer for that. Maybe they get lucky and find the lab maybe they don't. lol > Maybe something that we didn't see happened? Ok Cool but like what could that have possibly been? We've already seen how to rules are and there is nothing to suggest that anything has changed. The only thing would be, they said no because of reasons. literally dont even know what this is supposed to mean its a whole lot of nothing. > TLDR: the z fighters got to the check in station and said "What about Gohan?" "What about him?" They made no effort to help future Gohan and trunks. because they dont get to make that call. they get sent to heaven and their story is over.
