1. The Return of the Tournament of Power
Ah, the Tournament of Power—a competition that brought together some of the most powerful beings across universes, pushing our heroes to their limits. Who could ever forget Goku’s Ultra Instinct moment? The stakes were high, but the camaraderie, rivalries, and intense battles kept us at the edge of our seats.
Theory: Some fans speculate that we might see a sequel to the Tournament of Power, maybe even with an expanded roster of universes and combatants. What if we introduced new combatants from the universes that didn’t participate the first time? Imagine Goku and Vegeta squaring off against ancient warriors from a universe that prides itself on combat and tradition. Or, perhaps, the tournament could even incorporate characters from Dragon Ball’s past—yes, I’m talking about the original series’ villains making a comeback!
This theory could lead to not only epic battles but also some unexpected alliances. Just picture Frieza teaming up with Goku (again!) to take down a common enemy while maintaining that classic uneasy partnership vibe. Oh, the possibilities!
2. The Rise of New Heroes (and Villains)
While we all love our classic fighters, Dragon Ball has always had a flair for introducing new characters. With the introduction of Granolah and the Heeters, we’ve seen new layers added to the lore. So what’s next?
Theory: Moving forward, we might encounter a new group of heroes and villains, perhaps even offspring or protégés of existing characters. Imagine Goku’s and Vegeta’s children taking over the mantle—a future where Pan, Goten, and Trunks lead their own adventures. They could even encounter these new villains that come from unimaginable places or are somehow connected to Beerus, Whis, or the Gods of Destruction themselves.
Furthermore, it’s entirely possible that we stumble upon universes where the roles of heroes and villains are reversed. Maybe they’d even battle against the time-traveling villains from the future, like Goku Black, who could easily come back in an alternate timeline, making it even more complex and thrilling.
3. Goku’s Role as a Mentor
The journey of Goku has shifted from that of a child seeking adventure to a seasoned fighter who has seen the universe’s darkest corners. With Goku’s journey seemingly endless, there’s a ripe narrative angle to explore: mentorship.
Theory: I envision Goku stepping into a mentor role, not just for his children but for other characters too. Goku has been a source of inspiration for many warriors. Imagine him training someone from Universe 2 or even the rival fighters from Universe 7 who need guidance to unlock their full potential. His encounters with characters like Piccolo and Vegeta have already shown us how mentorship can lead to mastery, but now with a larger array of fighters, the stakes could be higher.
This could even add dramatic nuances to the narrative as Goku faces the challenge of balancing training while continuously improving himself. After all, who doesn’t love a comeback story?
4. The Multiverse Shenron
We’ve witnessed some insane powers being unleashed throughout the series, particularly with the introduction of the Dragon Balls of other universes. Each with their unique wish-granting abilities, they’re just waiting to be explored more deeply.
Theory: One of the most exciting theories is circling around the concept of a Multiverse Shenron, a dragon that can grant wishes on a cosmic scale—affecting more than just one universe. This could lead to a story arc where characters from various universes join forces (or clash) based on their desires or motivations, pushing them into inter-universal dilemmas.
What happens if a character wishes for immortality? Will that disrupt the balance of power across the multiverse? This concept allows for complex morality, epic battles, and developing deeper relationships among characters who need to decide whether to ally with or oppose one another.
5. The Birth of a New Transformational State
Let’s be real—it wouldn’t be Dragon Ball without some wild transformations. The series has led us through Super Saiyan forms that have escalated over the years, culminating in Ultra Instinct. So, what’s left for Goku and Vegeta? How can they leap higher in the power scale?
Theory: Fans have discussed what happens when you combine Ultra Instinct with the Saiyan bloodline’s inherent abilities. What would a new transformation look like? Some speculate that Goku could unlock an entirely new state that combines the calmness of Ultra Instinct with the raw power of Super Saiyan. Namely, a “Ultra Saiyan” transformation that gives Saiyans a whole new level of speed and power, allowing them to tap into their emotions while maintaining the fluidity of Ultra Instinct.
Not only could this be a visually electrifying transformation, but it could also bring new tactics to battles and create a learning curve for both Goku and Vegeta as they navigate this newfound ability.
