Dragon Blog Z #15: What If the Future Androids Turned Good?

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. a MasakoX Fan.
As explained in this week's Time Drops post, this will be a full series eventually, but I'm just releasing it here as AniMonday Filler in sort of an idea pitch/comment showcase format to give myself more time to work on the Odyssey Arc, Retrospective and Omnibusted editing, and academia.
So in the meantime, please remember to like and comment down below, subscribe to my blog, and follow me on Tumblr, Reddit, and Facebook for the latest news on my content.

Something I've been curious about is: What if the future versions of 17 and 18 turned good?

I'm a huge fan of the Androids and have wondered how the story would have gone had they turned good (I kinda see good versions of the Future Androids helping rebuild as well as also forming a sort of new Z Fighter Team). Unfortunately, because I'm terrible at giving villains redemption arcs, I usually go through them fast since I mainly prefer to go through how the story could go if they turned good. Part of the problem is that the ideas I have involve Future Trunks sparing them after defeating them upon his return, only killing Future Cell, or the Androids turning good prior to Future Trunks time traveling, but both have issues that I'm not very good at figuring out.

And my off-the-cuff response was as follows:
Cell finds the Androids right when Trunks returns to the Future, and 17 gets absorbed, but Trunks knocks 18 out of the way.
It's so he doesn't have to fight Perfect Cell, but 18 is confused by him saving her. She watches from some rubble as Trunks defeats Semi-Perfect Cell, and is frightened that she could be next, no longer confident that she could kill Trunks. So she pleads with him to spare her, and Trunks, recalling Krillin's mercy in the other timeline, does so.
18 asks about her brother, and Trunks tells her that if she promises to help him restore the Earth, and not kill any more innocent people, he will wish back 17. So, it's an odd couple space road trip to New Namek to use their Dragon Balls. And a surreal opportunity to ship Trunks and 18 (she eventually tires of the designation and asks to be called Lazuli).
Gohan's brain is gonna break when they get back to Earth!

See? I said I have some wacky ideas for this concept! Do you think you'd like to see this continue at some point? Let me know in the comments down below, and Stay Tuned for another Reddit Original next week. Wednesday, another returning Zenescope favorite gets the Omnibusted Retrospective treatment.
Enjoy as always, and

MasakoX Fan,
Out.

Zenescope - Omnibusted #18: Tales From Wonderland

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster This is my second week in a row of getting  Omnibusted , this time by compiling my reviews of all three Volumes of  Tales From Wonderland  into one post to pad my content while I catch up a little. Please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment at the bottom of this post, help out my ad revenue as you read, and follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest  Grimm  news on my content.

As with the early  Grimm Fairy Tales  Volumes, there is an additional short story at the end of each Volume of  Tales From Wonderland . Tales From Wonderland  Volume #1 TFW  # 1:  Queen o

Master Of Tickets Before we set sail for this short issue of the One Piece  Multi-Piece , please chart a course by remembering to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read, and joining my Crew on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest snail transmissions of news on my content. I rarely post anything on YouTube, but I'm a frequent commenter and content supporter, and I recently commented on one of Doug Walker's videos as follows: It's not just you, Doug; Buggy the Clown didn't land for me in the anime at first. But he is AMAZING in the Impel Down arc (not going to spoil it, but the basic idea is the "Lock Up" episode of BTAS in Dante’s Inferno with One Piece characters, done as a full season). And that's pretty accurate. With no crew to help him fight, find his way, feed him, or fix

Just the Ticket #142: Alien Resurrection

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. Ticketmaster 8 I only wish there were seven more of me to do the things I don't want to do, and to help me do the things I enjoy, but better. I seem to be doing alright for myself, though, as we're poised to pass twenty thousand views for the month. But (save one or two sources of light) work is not my friend at the moment, so a few viable clones, or more realistically, a more enjoyable paying  job, would make life a lot more bearable. To ensure that  Just the Ticket  stays viable and enjoyable, please remember to tell each of your friends, family members, and clones to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, send a beacon to the comments section at the bottom of this post because it's the only way to be sure my site doesn't get nuked from orbit, help out my ad revenue as you read to keep The Company happy, and use the air ducts to follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  so you can like what you see and r
