What if FRIEZA Raised KAKAROT? (Full Story) 

One of my favorite what ifs so far, and also my longest scenario by a decent margin. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! 🫡

Bardock: "You were the Chosen One! It was said you will destroy Frieza, not join him!"

Bardock: "you've become the very thing you swore to destroy"

“Calm down, they’re not *true* sigma males, they’re robots” - Nappa, 2022

The fact that Nappa and Raditz are either way too important characters or die the same arc they were introduced to makes this legit funny

Goku is literally the only Frieza soldier that is actually loyal to Frieza.

"I suppose we could make him one of our soldiers... What is his power level?" "It's says that he has a power level of 2, lord Frieza" *Instantly kills Goku*

"Vegetas like 2ft tall whats he gonna do?" That killed me istg

Goku/Kakarot: "No matter where I go.." *The Kamehameha* "..I see his face."

This whole story got me thinking: What if the Saiyans worked for the Galactic Patrol INSTEAD of the Frieza Force? That's an entirely different dynamic, but one that could possibly happen, if the Galactic Patrol got to Planet Vegeta way much earlier than the Frieza Force did originally; I'd be excited to see how that story would play out.

Low-key feel like dragon ball could've legitimately went this route and still been mega successful

This was amazing! The writing fits so well, the influence of cooler especially, I couldn't see kakarot finding out about the monkeys in any other way than from cooler who hates Frieza more than any other being.

This is probably my favorite DB what if. I love the incorporation and focus on noncanon stories/characters. And Nappa and Radditz getting much needed some shine.

Here is a timestamp for all the parts if anybody’s interested Part 1 0:00:00 Part 2 0:14:44 Part 3 0:28:51 Part 4 0:44:30 Part 5 0:58:14 Part 6 1:11:28 Part 7 1:25:57 Part 8 1:39:39 Part 9 1:53:55 Part 10 2:07:51 Part 11 2:22:13 Part 12 2:36:37 Part 13 2:50:24 Part 14 3:04:45 Part 15 3:19:50

This is gonna be a Salad Saiyan classic for sure. Great what if as always but this was superb definitely one of my favorite series on this channel. 10/10 would watch the whole 3 hours again.

I love how every what-if we hear still tries to follow the same path as the original. Means we still have to pretend that someone like Frieza can be considered the strongest in the universe…and then Bojack shows up with lackeys stronger than Frieza. A beautiful, consistent, constant law of Dragonball what-ifs.

The concept of Nappa, Raditz, Goku, Vegeta, and Broly becoming super space cops is really fucking cool. This was an absolute blast to listen to good fucking work man.

I got a few ideas *What if Bardock raised Granolah:* (Basically after the fight with Gas, Bardock finds a way to sneak Mahnito and Granolah to Planet Vegeta with him, and when they send off Goku they send Granolah with him since they’d be small enough to fit in one pod. Mahnito might fit in too but I’d leave that for you to decide.) *What if Goten stayed on the Grand Tour (GT):* (this would probably just be a what-if mini, just making the black star dragon ball saga shorter and maybe an extra fight or two in the baby saga) *What if Lord Slug was Canon:* (I think it would be interesting that it would begin in the Frieza Saga, maybe when Krillin, Gohan, and Burma get to Namek, they see a warship hovering over the planet, and when they land it’s a war between Frieza’s Forces and Lord Slug’s Army, both trying to conquer Namek.) Edit: another idea *What if Trunks and Bra were Twins:* (self explanatory)

This is genuinely my favorite what if from you and probably counts as one of my favorite what ifs ever. I love how you’re allowed to play with the order of things and actually create new arcs based off it all. Dude replacing the tournament Arc with a collaboration of a ton of baddies of the past more powerful than ever along with the entire Saiyan race attempt to fight a being with might rivaling gods. It’s so epic and only possible because of you straying from the beaten path and being creative enough to make it

It's nice seeing the four last Saiyans being on the same team, and on the side of good.

Goku be Pummeling Frieza to a Pulp, All the While the 3 other Super Saiyans are Pulling Cold's Arms,Legs and Even his Head off his Body

This story is such a cool one, I had fun imagining fight scenes with coordination from the group, it's not very often you see well choreographed fight scenes in an anime specially a group one and not alot of people can make stories that involve more than 1 main character.

I have an idea: What if CELL merged with the Big Gete Star?

WTH! I’m shocked, I never expected this. This is probably the best what if you ever made! Phenomenal story telling that makes sense, no BS, lots of great ideas executed right, and far more to make up an incredibly engaging story overall. No words, just great job man!

Glad to see the Full Story for this, honestly my favorite What If from you Salad, and this is just personally one of my favorite Dragon Ball What Ifs in general, everything is amazing about this.

Really enjoyed this. I especially liked the fact that the Saiyans were together as a group throughout.

Vegita listing off someone’s charges like a cop is something I didn’t expect to love as much as I do 22222 club

This is probably my favorite what if. It’s a breath of fresh air and it’s nice to see a story where the all the saiyans become good naturally. It feels like this would really happen and I wish this was its own sub story in another universe.

8:18 "but those other three monkeys they gotta go" 😶 that shit had me dead 💀

What if Goku was raised by the Red Ribbon? Goku's pod lands on Earth and is taken in by the Red Ribbon Army. Would he become a helpless test subject for its lead scientist Doctor Gero? Or would he be raised to serve the Army as a Super Soldier? Would he become a force of evil and oppression in the name of the Red Ribbon? Or would he change the Red Ribbon to become a force for good?

Reaching the 2:22:22 part really shown the pay off on the work and whoever you also worked with was well worth it.

I like that Nappa and Raditz got to live

I had somewhat low expectations going into this, but what if Frieza raised Kakarot was handled very well! DB with original arcs are almost always more popular among those familiar with the main story, but this one often did much better in the way it fused different ideas, from Bojack on the grand scale (laughed at that voice clip too btw) to a Janemba aligning with Bibidi's story to a NON-shoehorned or overpresent Bardock! The moon array sounds like an awesome setting for a battle, and if adapted elsewhere could even warrant SSJ4 in a more organic way. One section I WOULD change, though, are the godly roles during the final arc. Janemba is the closest we've seen to a reality-breaking, easily universal threat. Especially with everything else going on and the restrictions of Angel characters, literally every act of Merus could have better suited Shen and Kibito.

Freiza: you’ve done well I’m proud of you. Goku: thank you lord freiza or should I say Father.

Bardock:"You did the very thing i told you to. To survive"

Damn never knew frieza would be as good as vegeta in parenting.

I like the idea of them fighting as an actual team. With team combos and special attacks it's pretty cool.

Nappa screams in the background "Frieza Jr NOOOOooooo!"

Very good what if one of the best I have ever seen . I watched it from the start to the end enjoyed every minute of it, but like all good stories I’m gonna state some of the minor issue that would of brought this brilliant story together, one the introduction of the hyberbolic time chamber to help explain some of their short power ups or to get them all to super sayain 2 and one or two of them to ssj3 . Secondly some of the power scaling was off they either didn’t get strong enough from zenkia boosts or got too strong out of nowhere and parts of the story felt rushed and they never even healed from battles to recover and get zenkia boosts let alone giving them time to harness and control their new strengths . Other than that this was original well put together and flawless in terms of story. Keep coming with more

YOU SHOULD DO IF COOLER RAISED KAKAROT

I really liked this. I love the Saiyan crew's galatic adventures. The inclusion of movie villains and GT worldbuilding to make unique Arcs is just fantastic.

This is legitimately one of my favorite what-ifs. Very well done

I hesitated so long watching this thinking it wasn't going to be that good and i was pleasantly wrong af. This. Is. AMAZING

Kanye video idea didn’t age well

This is one of my all time favorites, one I couldn’t predict. One that felt truly original, I thank you on behalf of all of us, this was amazing!

kanye would be running the red ribbon army lol

This could’ve easily end 2 hrs earlier but your creativity made it possible so as always, great job

Frieza sees what was in the pod, a child and immediately his motherly instincts kick in

This might be my favorite one so far. Potentially only being beat out by what if Beerus woke up early

A drive by in space is crazy

I enjoyed every second of this theory it was all around awesome and the length was perfect to either binge or have in the background, you definitely need to try and make another part or long ass vids like this

I love how super saiyan nappa is just golden eyebrows and blue eyes

What if idea: What if Goku was born with Goku Blacks potential/forms. Sounds fun doesn't it?

DANG COOLER BLEW HIS FATHERS BACK OUT

I really like, that the new version of Broly is just a giant, impressionable child. And you capitalized on that.

Im ready for that Kanye video now

raditz: do you trust him? goku: I don't trust you and you're my brother

Nappa: Wait, why don't I get my hair back when I went super saiyan? This is bs!

The shade being thrown towards 2ft tall Vegeta is VILE lmfaooo

I am also very glad you got to use that voice clip there It is, in fact, very funny Also, i'm in the 2:22:22 club

Oh My Kami! 3 hrs!!!? This is gonna be a lot of fun! Thanks for putting so much effort into your videos salad

For your next April Fools what if, it should be: “What if Krillin achieved Ultra Instinct on Namek?” That sounds crazy, I know. But hear me out: Frieza has just killed Krillin on Namek, and Goku achieves Super Saiyan. When they are about to fight, the ground begins shaking, as a bright pillar of light shines down upon the planet, with Krillin stepping out of it, in UI Omen. Krillin tells his best friend to calm down, as this is not just his fight alone. Frieza now has to face a level-headed Super Saiyan Goku and an Ultra Instinct Krillin. This could have MASSIVE changes in the story. I think you could get creative with it!

Poor chi chi, Bulma and Android 18. Written out of existence.

Maybe it is just me, but i really like that Radditz has so much importance for Goku... ahem, for Kakarot and not just a hated character for being so weak. What a great story!

This is actually amazing! Only thing i would like to mention, it is kinda sad that you didnt include them Having kids as gohan is litterally sooo important in the franchise

Love this. The idea of all the saiyans working together is actually nice.

Why is it so cool to see the 4 final saiyans teaming up to kick some frieza.

Kakarot gets raised by Frieza and somehow ends up arguably even more of a good guy than canon😂

2:22:22 I do love this what if it's a completely different kakarot he's smarter more calculating person and so much more badass

Salad I have an idea, how about What If Bulma Became a Saiyan? She complains about aging so that could motivate her to make said wish maybe in the 7 years before Buu?

Bro the story is done so well I literally couldn’t stop watching

1:06:38 "Vegetas tail is back, why, because I said so" -Giga Chad

Kakarot would've surpassed zarbon by the time he grew up I think

Out of the 100s of fan made stories this is very original Well done mate 👍

you should do "what if kanye was in db" now is the good time

This came out almost a year ago but I just watched this now and I loved every second of it but legit couldn't help but cheer when you wrote in janemba so perfectly I legit can see a similar scenario being written in super to add janemba in the official cannon

This is one of the best what-ifs made

That "What If" was phenomenal. Job well done in putting it together. All jokes aside -> 2.22.22

This story went all over the place, being a tribute to a handful of Z movies and even doing two of GT arcs. Actually considering where the Sayins ended up you can say they even did the grand tour arc. So three of the four arcs. And somehow the closest to a what if Zarbon and Dadoria turned good

What if cell somehow managed to absorb goku?

1:06:35 It is actually confirmed that saiyans can choose to regrow their tails several years ago, so you could've said that Vegeta decided to regrow his tail while travelling to Earth

I truly enjoyed this what I only wish it were continued honestly my favorite one as of so far

I was not expecting Baby or Janemba to be in this, nor was I expecting SSGSS to actually have a cool and impactful introduction!

I would LOVE to see your own original Super Sequel to this one. Tournament of Power Saga? Moro Saga would be even better with the Galactic Patrol already being involved, more emotional connection to Merus. I wonder what your take on a hypothetical Turles would be for this series.

damn,this is the longest what if movie ever,good job Salad

Let's goo finally been waiting for something like this

Now I want to know. What if Lord Beerus raised Kakarot. I know that doesn't seem very likely with everything. But I would like to know how that would go if Beerus raised his own Super Saiyon God

Man Im telling you. You should do a multiverse series, with all of your scenarios as a different universe. You could number them in order of when they dropped. I know it’s a lot, but just food for thought.

Vegeta: Hey kakarot! Why don’t you join u- Frieza: Don’t talk to me or my son again! *(death beam through heart)* Me: I think all of my brain cells have committed suicide.

Kakarot unleashed the Saiyan within.

What if like, Z Broly or Super Broly was raised by Frieza? That'd be insane lol.

The effort he puts in for these videos is crazy!

HELL YEAAAAAAA my favorite into a full story

imagine if goku hit his head in this what if.

Anyone else realize that Frieza and Cooler are naked? Their armor is part of their bodies, right? So that makes them standing around naked all the time. Even when they upgrade they only upgrade their bodies. NAKED!

Any What If that gives us more Raditz and Nappa is always number one in my book!

I was just watching this series when you uploaded this thank you

Finally. After so long, we finally have the full series of What If Frieza Raised Kakarot?

I’d like to see all of the Saiyans brought back to life with the Super Dragon Balls

This is my favorite what if, the creativity, everything it was amazing..
