I will NEVER acknowledge that "movie". But still.........Anyway this is yet another what if type story I wish was animated.

The Goku Jr. meeting Goku scene made me cry, it's like you solved a plot hole from my childhood
Trunks: "Goku! Dad! Let's go back in time!" Vegeta: "And how do you exactly plan on doing that!? We don't have enough fuel!" Trunks: "Don't worry, Father. We have the money to buy all the fuel we want, thanks to 'Raid: Shadow Legends!!'" Goku: "'Raid: Shadow Legends' huh? Idk what that is, but it sounds really strong! I can't wait to fight it!"

I'm here watching after what happened with master Toriyama. The whole video felt emotional but I started to cry when I saw Luffy and Naruto because it reminded me of how influential Toriyama was. Rest in peace This video itself is proof of how inspiring Toriyama's work was. He would be proud

This. This right here is the biggest and best What If in the Dragon Ball community. You made it possible to combine EVERY FACCET OF EVERY PIECE OF DRAGON BALL MEDIA in one hour; and it was COHERENT and made sense. It all linked together greatly. It was emotional, funny, and all around a fun story. It felt like an actual TV Special. Like History Of Trunks... I remember one time I commented on one of your videos saying how something didn’t make sense. I’m not a critic or anything, merely a fan of not only Dragon Ball, but of you. Perfect job my friend. Happy New Year.
I got chills when Vegeta destroyed frieza I'm glad you don't give goku all the cool wins this was such an interesting story
The fact that this is much better than 80 percent of Dragon ball super says alot. I always wanted them to make a story of reviving the Saiyans

Imo this guy’s stories are better than most of db. But well let’s not forget that the story is so good because of DB, DBZ , DBS , DBGT, etc. like Spider-Man no way home wouldn’t be as epic if it wasn’t for the og Spider-Man movies and the amazing Spider-Man movies. It all ties so well.
don’t know if anybody will ever be able to top this what if. a literal love letter to dragon ball ❤️
That ending was so heart warming just reminding me of how much dbz and dbgt can really touch your sad emotions
44:39 " Holding a Rice cooker" 😂
Grand Priest: *groaning in annoyance* "I need a vacation...."
Now that Salad made his Self-Insert into a What If, we can say that DBZ Salad was actually there and I love it.

@@justaspy5605 the non cannon part was added at the end, on the infinite timeline thingy from XenoVerse. The pendulum room would not exist on the original time, except for GT. So he's not wrong about not using it, since it wouldn't be canon for the main timeline, but he can go as nuts as he wants in the end due to the place they were in.
Trucks did not bring a cake for Beerus and Whis. He brought the cake *in case* was Beerus was there and needed a offering.
Honestly with your writing skills, you should become an actual writer for the series, there was so much passion put into this and the story triggered my every emotion. Thank you for having me experience that again

38:40 "i'm Son-" "-Guldo. He's Guldo! I'm Ginyu, over there is Recoome" Ok that made me laugh unnecessarily hard
THIS WAS THE BEST HOUR IVE EVER SPENT JUST SITTING, DOING NOTHING, AND WATCHING A KZread VIDEO!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE AWSOME WORK SMUGSTICK!!!!!!
this a strong heartfelt vid smugstick: The universe 7 saiyans see they could reach super saiyan making the low class and royal don’t matter and can grow strong to be protectors and know their future will be safe has brought inner tears to my eyes because all of those saiyans that existed had so much potential and it’s really scary and inspirational of how strong they get if they push themselves and was guided in the soulful direction Just imagine in this what if timeline that over thousand plus super saiyan 4 gods especially the females saiyans protecting their planet from major threats to the point it shook each timeline and the goku/trunks and Vegeta that trained them to be better beings feel their ki and smile being proud they overcame themselves and know everything will be fine.
Awesome story. Crazy you were able to get so many characters from other channels. The collaboration between all of you made this great. Nice touch with Goku Jr too

I love this story . I know it’s probably due to a lot of fan service but so many fan written stories I would love to see in Super or whatever comes next for the DB anime series .this story being one of them .
1:17:42 "During the fighting, there was someone there that didn't seem to quite belong... He called himself Goku, but he looked more like a regular high school student. He confronted King Piccolo: Sand Gacku: "i BeAt u OncE BeFORe DEMon KinG, anD I'lL dO It AGaIN!" King Piccolo: "I don't even know who you are!" Sadly, that Goku was one of the many casualties... LOL LOVE IT. WELL DONE, SMUGSTICK.
I kinda almost cried at the end! The GT ending was so emotional by itself....
Oh god... i just now found this, and im crying at the ending... great video man
It’s so cool that you implemented that it was goku from a different timeline that visited the little goku from 100 years in the future at the end. It makes so much more sense than gt if you ask me lol
I put this desire off for awhile thought the idea was stupid but I loved this story after giving it a chance. The endgame like ending got me so hyped and made me wish there was an animation of it. And the fact that you tied it the GT movie and how it did finished this story perfectly. By far my favorite story you’ve done. Definitely in my top 5 for what if stories by ally the you tubers
