Speculation: Return of Bardock

NOTE: This post was inspired by this video made by Seththeprogrammer:

Although this current arc is nowhere near from ending, I had a bit of an idea for an arc after the Universe Survival arc! 

Before Super was even planned, Toriyama worked with the story writers of Dragon Ball Online in 2008. For a long time, the story DBO was considered canon because of Toriyama's hand in it. In this game, Towa, Mira, and Time Breaker Bardock made their debuts.  

Of course, this arc will see the return of Future Trunks again. (As a fan of Future Trunks, I don't mind! ^^) Essentially, here's how I think the arc would play out. While in the Demon Realm, Towa is seen plotting revenge for the death of her brother, Dabura. Whilst creating the ultimate creation (Mira), she sees something on GodTube (for comedic purposes). Goku Black moving throughout the Time with the time ring. This gets her curious into time magic and looking for books on it. She finds one about the infinite timelines and how to manipulate them.

Just like this, her plan is created. She memorizes every book she finds on time magic while also giving Mira time manipulation as well while creating him. Then, she creates an army of "worthy warriors" throughout all time. Among these is the Father of Goku, Bardock, who is saved by Mira mere seconds before Frieza destroys Vegeta. 

Towa now has the general for her army. Nothing can stop her. Meanwhile, Supreme Kai of Time sees Mira saving Bardock and calls an even older Future Trunks. The story from here on out is somewhat similar to Xenoverse but very different at the same time.

Trunks travels back to the main timeline and asks for Goku, Vegeta, AND Gohan help once more. They both accept and are transported to Toki Toki. From here, they practically become the Future Warrior, but with slight differences. Demigra doesn't play into any of this and the non-canon characters don't make appearances either. 

Essentially, the story will be extremely similar to Xenoverse just without the non-canon characters. 

This will lead up to the meeting of the ages... Goku meeting Bardock. Then, Dragon Ball Minus can get its small anime special as well. (For those who don't know, Dragon Ball Minus is a manga chapter giving the CANON origin of Goku).

Quick recap! I want an arc that resembles Xenoverse 2, but with a bit more backstory that ties into the Goku Black arc. This arc will be without all the non-canon characters that Xenoverse 2 has in its story. Also, the final battle can occur after Mira has destroyed all of the timelines via absorbing them. The only way to restore the timelines is by defeating Mira. 

I can see an arc like this potentially being the greatest arc in Dragon Ball history. It could even be the final arc of the series! The final battle to save not just their multiverse, but all of existence! What do you think? I know there some flaws here and there, but overall, it can be a very good story!

Hope you enjoy! Like and follow for more Dragon Ball Talk! See you tomorrow for a DBS episode review!
