What If Videl Was A Z-Fighter? has the following tropes:

• Adaptational Badass:
  • Videl training with Gohan far more seriously leads to her being much stronger than she was in catechism. As a result, unlike catechism where she got completely crushed, Videl defeats Spopovich fairly handedly. She eventually undergoes the ritual to gain her ain Ultimate form aslope Gohan. Due to existence exposed to the Super Saiyan God ritual and to Gohan and Vegeta's training with God Ki, she absorbs enough God Ki to take information technology herself.
  • Due to Videl absorbing God Ki while pregnant with her, Pan as well has information technology.
  • Gohan is even stronger, since he never gave up training. His Ultimate form earlier Super starts is about as stiff as Super Saiyan Blue.
  • 18, due to preparation with Videl, gets more involved and does also become stronger. As they remain best friends and go along training, as such by the Tournament of Power Arc she'southward much stronger and comparable to where 17 was in Super.

• Adaptational Dainty Guy: Beerus is mostly much nicer, as he takes interest in Videl and Pan due to the infusion of Saiyan DNA intriguing him, and is thus closer to them than he otherwise would have. Notably, he doesn't have much problem babysitting Pan and afterward Bulla as he did in catechism. Pan even calls him 'Uncle Beerus.' He 'kidnaps' her afterward the tournament at the terminate of Z to train her, he ends up playing with her instead.
• Adaptational Wimp: Ironically, Goku. His Ultimate ability makes him feel like he can't get any stronger, and so he doesn't train more than to maintain it. Thus, Gohan takes his place training with Whis while Goku, while very strong, isn't about every bit powerful as he was in canon past Super, being weaker then the likes of Gohan and Vegeta. Though on the other hand, he's now very much a family unit man and a better father.

  • Videl is much stronger and muscular at present than before, even though she was strong earlier.
  • Videl and Android eighteen's fusions, Vizuli and Eighdel, as well.

  • Gohan, due to being completely furious at Spopovich and Yamu for desperately injuring Videl in an ambush, demolishes Spopovich and nearly beats him to decease.

  • Vegehan puts up a good fight against Jiren, merely they defuse and Vegeta and Gohan get knocked out individually since they are powerless. However, he did manage to severely impairment Jiren and get out him weakened.
• Deuteragonist: Gohan and Vegeta could be considered this. While Videl is the focus character and much stronger than in canon, she's still a normal human being, and so any threats at or above the threat of Frieza are handeled past them.

As a outcome, they fall in dearest and Videl becomes much stronger, though it wasn't enough fourth dimension for her to figure out ki blasts.
  • Due to being considerably stronger, Videl defeats Spopovich in a Curb-Stomp Battle rather than the other way around, forcing Yamu to shoot her with a ki blast and then he's not taken out of the tournament. Gohan is then fix against him instead due to him winning by default...leading to Gohan beating the accented tar out of him. As Spopovich is in no condition to help, Yamu is but able to become a far lower amount of energy earlier existence forced to flee. As a consequence, him and Spopovich are killed past Babidi for their failure rather than outliving their usefulness.
  • Krillin doesn't join the Z-Fighters in pursuing Spopovich considering he left to go Videl a Senzu Edible bean, so he escapes getting turned to rock by Dabura.

  • As Proficient Buu knows about and cares for Videl, who is on the Sentry, he is able to restrain Super Buu from attacking her. Thus Krillin and 18 survive his binge there thanks to her distracting Buu long enough to escape.

After Super Buu absorbs Goten, Trunks, Vizuli, and Ultimate Goku, Gohan and Vegeta fuse into Vegehan and curb-stomp him like Vegito did. After getting captivated, they costless their friends but don't free Mr. Buu, so Child Buu doesn't form. Once they escape, they fuse dorsum into Vegehan and vaporize the weakened Super Buu.

• Mythology Gag: When talking with Gohan nigh how strong Videl got, Krillin mentions that it would be have been like if Krillin were a woman and Goku and female-Krillin got together and that that would be weird. Something similar happened in Masako'southward What If Goku Was Female? story, where the now female Goku and Krillin got together and had a female child.

In all the confusion, everyone forgets to tell Gohan that Videl is fine. Gohan thought the Senzu plant wasn't ready, and thus is constantly worried that Videl is at death's door. When Goku tells Gohan this deep in Babidi's lair, Gohan'southward already in a very bad mood, and being told that Videl was fine near an hour besides belatedly makes Gohan's anger boil over.

• Restraining Bolt: Proficient Buu acts as this to Super Buu, specifically in regards to Videl. As he tin can sense Videl is like to Hercule and Hercule told Buu about her, Super Buu is held dorsum from harming her, even when she attacks him.
• Sealed Evil in a Can:
  • Using his ocarina, Tapion seals Hoi into the music box he was formerly in.
  • As Gohan is the one to learn the Mafuba rather than Goku, the talisman isn't forgotten and thus Fused Zamasu is permanently imprisoned by Trunks. His jar is and so handed to Whis for prophylactic keeping.
• Senseless Sacrifice: Vegeta however uses Last Explosion against Buu. Not only does information technology non do a matter to Buu, Hercule had already started to befriend Buu and had Vegeta but killed Babidi and left them alone, Hercule would've just befriended him and ended things then and there. Thus, all Vegeta's sacrifice did was needlessly kill himself.

• Took a Level in Badass: Videl'southward more successful training with Gohan results in Videl going from unable to actually match up at all to Spopovich to delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle in the other direction.

• Unskilled, but Strong: Spopovich's Majin power upwardly only increased his power, not his bodily combat skill. Thus, with Videl's greater strength negating that edge, her being a far meliorate fighter results in her trouncing him rather than the other manner around.
• What the Hell, Hero?:
  • When the Z-Fighters can't find Babidi, they decide to let him go and drain energy from civilians to awaken Buu then they can kill him. Shin calls them out on this and tries to explain that Buu is too powerful, but they ignore him.
  • Vegeta calls out Goku and Gohan for their suggestion to recruit Frieza for the Tournament of Power. Though Gohan counters that Frieza is the only option they accept left.
• Yous Have Failed Me: Babidi blows up Yamu and Spopovich for this reason instead of You Accept Outlived Your Usefulness, because Yamu was only able to extract a quarter of Gohan'southward ki.
