Yes, that's who Goku is. Under any circumstance, he's not the person to have a negative thought. He would never doubt his friends and his friends would never think bad of Goku after what he done to them.
ye ikr i hate it when these stories leads to a crazed goku escaping. Although i think hed lose his cheeky goofy side snd be a bit more like vegeta in z but hed spare people
Piccolo: "How could you let him get away?" Vegeta: "Yeah, he could come back and do this again!" Goku: *Looking both in the eyes* "You're right. I've always struggled with being too forgiving. I should _never_ have forgiven my enemies!" *Activates MUI*
When I heard Vegeta scream “Do it now Broly!” I almost cheered out loud. Great take on this what if, and honestly the most realistic to Goku’s character
@RetromecativeGaming Whis even mentions specifically that he gave Goku training advice to help sell the whole thing in the event one of the Zenos inquires.
‘I use to think everyone would be better off without me too, but getting rid of one person doesn’t solve anything. You have to face your problems head on. So face me Beerus, head on’ I love that line so much!
This interpretation of this What If is just the best by far of this What If. Perfectly understanding the mentality and character of Goku in this scenario just makes it feel like it could be canon potentially. And the funny parallel is that, it expressed a concern that Beerus had about Saiyans, and this explored it a lot more. Also, Broly was a nice twist for Vegeta's Wish. In conclusion: This earns a straight Perfect 10/10 in my eyes, and as we've heard from a certain Bio Android, " This has been truly, Perfect... "
This also addresses a problem with DBS's writing: there lack of stakes because, in theory, Beerus and Whis are always there to beat the bad guy if the heroes fail to. This time...failure isn't an option.
INCREDIBLE!!!! This interpretation of "What If Goku Was Betrayed" was one of the best What Ifs that I have ever seen! The story really kept me on the edge of my seat and the voice acting was unlike anything that I have ever heard of in the previous What Ifs, and they are extremely accurate to the Anime itself. I also enjoyed the fact that Beerus was Goku's target and not all of Earth unlike what Kami did to the latter in Smugstick's What If. Keep up the great work, Carthu. 👍 Final Results: Infinity/10
@@new_roro8329 It sure is! His What Ifs are some of the best I have seen in recent weeks. Here are some ideas I have for him: 1: What If Broly Was Found During Resurrection F? 2: What If Piccolo Stayed Evil? 3: What If Krillin Killed Vegeta? 4: What If Cell Was in the Tournament of Power? 5: What If Goku Went SSJ Against King Piccolo? I don't expect all of these to be done, but I do expect the story for each to be unique and different from those of other What If creators Like Smugstick and Salad Saiyan.
People forget that Sun Wukong is ridiculously powerful, so using that inspiration to give Goku a new transformation it’s really clever and a breathe of fresh air for sure!

Excellent as always, Carthu. You made your version of Goku being sealed is a great example for the saiyan's mentality.

My goodness this is so much more interesting than the "Goku unlocks mastered ultra instinct blue plus god ascended 3 after being trapped in the time chamber for 3 billion years and slaughters everyone" videos I've been seeing recently. It's nice a what if video actually go into depth and stay consistent with everyone's personality traits.
This is the best one out there. unlike the ones where goku’s mindset would change completely and going after the gods and getting revenge, this one is actually way better than any I’ve seen!
Another day, another betrayal! Honestly, I'm loving this concept trend. The stellar voice acting, special effects, and attention to detail make you one of the best DBZ storytellers, Carthu. Can't wait to see how this story plays out!
This is easily the best take on this topic that I’ve seen, no ridiculous unrealistic transformations, one short but sweet part, and a wholesome ending, good job Carthu!
im not done with the video and i didn't know this was a recent trend in what if stories for dragon ball, but damn the way you're building up the suspense with goku saying goodbye and not knowing what's going to happen. im on the edge of my seat. i've been going through a few videos of this topic after finding out about but so far this one has been one of the only ones to peak my interest from the beginning.
I enjoyed this take on the whole Goku is betrayed by somebody, and in the end Goku still forgive Beerus with been trapped in the Whis' Staff for a good few years.

@@thunderlordabove420 No it would not, both Masako and Carthu have been open about not holding a monopoly on What If ideas. By your logic Carthu is partially stealing Smugsticks idea. It is not copying whatsoever.
You have some of the best Dragon Ball What-ifs I've ever seen. Plus your narration, script, voice acting, and tone are all so enthralling ❤. Like, your GoD Goku is probably my favorite character now period.
Like this vid. I really don’t understand where the massive influx of “Goku getting trapped” videos are coming from, but hey, still well executed. I do really hope they do something with Beerus in the future. He’s become such a soured character that I’d appreciate something new for him, even something like this
I think after smugstick created this what if (at least I think it was him who did the first what if goku was trapped) the success of the concept attracted many creators. And I think that's for 2 reasons: -it justifies getting an overpowered goku -it allows to ditch the original narrative as goku's mindset can easily be altered
@@shindasmoshin7824 I think theu meant something where beerus would be active. For example in the zamasu arc he did things himself. Maybe they could introduce in the anime the tournament of destroyers the manga had, or a few episodes centered around beerus hunting down and defeating a makaioshin
well it was nothing new this was very old thing Spanish dbs community was comes with that idea and makes fanfic about it same goes for other Spanish fandom too it's where smug get idea to make video about that got hit viral
Honestly sort of a interesting concept, especially in a timeline where Beerus took his job more seriously and recognized the general threat Goku posed, ESPECIALLY after the Tournament of power. (Also being after the ToP would explain why he'd trap him instead of Hakai him because the Omni-King would erase Beerus if he did that)
@@KandiKontent actually, daiku theories dbs release his on the 22nd of April whereas Smugstick released his earlier on the 3rd of March so not his story
@@PCK_ exactly smugstick was the first one to start what if Goku got betrayed series and undoubtedly his story is best among all what if Goku got betrayed stories...
Honestly one of my favorite what ifs. Good storytelling, voice acting, editing, good pacing since you summarized something that felt like an entire series in only 18 minutes.
I stumbled across this vid while eating dinner and stayed from start to finish. This was amazing. The hype I got when Broly came to help, the even MORE hype when UI Goku broke free from the staff, it just made me smile. This was so well made. Great job!
What a great video, Carthu. This is probably the best version of this take, Goku being as pure as he is makes this story work so well. Great job my man! :D
i think it all originated from SmugStick, and due to the popularity and how interesting the concept was the other creators decided to try their hand at it
What If Requests. (I can't remember if you have already done some of these) What if Gohan drank the Ultra Divine Water before or after entering the Time Chamber with Goku. What if Goku was the first "evolved" Saiyan. (like the Universe 6 Saiyan's who are born without a tail and have more potential) What if Kami regained his youth when King Piccolo did. What if Elder Guru fused with Kami before he died. (Maybe you could also have Lord Slug fuse with Piccolo) What if the Super Saiyan God ritual was permanent. (Goku becomes a actual God thereby extending his life expectancy by millions of years, he gets Super Saiyan Rosè instead of Super Saiyan Blue and he is unable to enter the T.o.P) What if Beerus (& Whis) raised Cooler.
This NEEDS to be animated into a short film. That would be amazing. You should definitely get ahold of Etoilec1 Animations, who made Saitama vs. Goku, or TFS.
This is perfect for Vegeta. They need to move him past Goku and have his focus be on Beerus or others. They saw in ToP that Goku and Vegeta have some work to do.
I've seen a lot of... not good variants on this concept, usually having an unsatisfying ending like Goku finally breaking free to find out Earth and everyone on it destroyed. The way you did this, however, feels extremely similar to how one would expect the actual anime to go if it had this storyline. Fantastic work as always!
What I love about this is that it stays true, not just to Goku's character, but to that of his friends' as well. It's so like Vegeta to be just cautious/suspicious enough that he'd immediately sense alarm bells when he hears of the situation. I love how pragmatic he is here, while still retaining that classic saiyan arrogance to provoke Beerus into a direct fight. The loyalty he's portrayed with here also feels really spot on with the way he's grown. He may fight with Goku a lot, but he very clearly trusts and respects Goku, not just as a fighter, but as a person. So many other "What if" scenarios centered on the very same topic tend to portray Vegeta and the rest of Goku's friends as backstabbing and two-faced, with them easily agreeing to betraying him once the Earth is on the line. These are people who would and have fought and died most gruesome deaths for what they believe in. It makes far more sense for them to throw their lives away in defense of their friend, than for them to simply accept Beerus' orders under threat alone. One critique I have is that Beerus changes his tune a little too easily for how set he seems to be on this course of action. You make it somewhat clear that he does feel somewhat guilty about his actions, but considering he came to Earth with the intention to destroy it all for the sake of sparing his pride and making a point, it doesn't feel quite so satisfying that he just gives up and becomes Goku's buddy again the moment it's clear he can't win. I think it'd be a bit more understandable if you tried to subtly hint that Beerus was lowkey hoping Goku would break out, or maybe have Whis indirectly lecture Beerus on his actions. Possibly even having Vegeta lay into Beerus more during their chat where he really drives home how Goku's actions saved Beerus' life and universe, and that the god OWES Earth a great debt to really chip away at his resolve through growing guilt. All in all, I really like the characterization of everyone here but Beerus. I felt like he was too easy. Also, as a What if suggestion: What if Goku came to understand Gohan better in the time chamber? Would he be able to teach his son to enjoy fighting like he does, or would he maybe choose not to rely on Gohan to beat cell?
To be clear the ending isn't him becoming Goku's buddy or anything. If there were to be another part (I don't have one planned nor do I intend to make one) the fractured relationship between Earth's warriors and Beerus would be the center. Him being let off the hook in the end is no different than Vegeta or Piccolo being let go in a sense where the chance he hasn't changed lingers, but Goku is willing to take the chance because of their history. You can also think of Majin Vegeta where Goku instantly forgives Vegeta only to be betrayed right after. Basically don't expect Goku and Vegeta to train on Beerus' world anytime soon lol.
That's one thing I like about this what-if: Goku's friend. They always loyal to him and I dislike how hostile Tien and some others in SmugStick's version.
Great video! I thought that Gohan and Vegeta would’ve fused, seeing as how you mentioned Gogeta exceeding Beerus earlier, but this ending was great as well.
This is top tier, never have I ever been moved to the point I was on the bridge of tears by a what-if. In just a few minutes you reminded my why I love dragon ball. Thank you Carthu
Honestly, this could fit inside the main story as a mini arc to give Beerus some depth, so people stop seeing him as cuddly fluffe kitty cat that likes to sleep and be petted(And destroying planets during his free time
I honestly thought the same. “Gohan and vegeta will fuse with potara any moment now…” I didn’t think of the rituals because broly might as well have better chances with his green hair knowing how he acts when he powers up in that…. Gohan’s ultimate might bring greater yield through training… BUT maybe doing the ritual on top his ultimate might actually power him up a lot… or make vegeta train him in god Ki inside the time chamber might be better even
Nah its the manga that messed the scale they changed UI power each arc - the comments on beerus are messed up though like him using 70 percent but each arc statements become invalid since they make him stronger this happens in manga and anime
Both are quite messy. Manga simply got away with "LoL Beerus still stronker git rekt" while in the anime they're already past that. So they either will ignore that(Most likely) or get a simple statement about him training for five seconds and make him super duper strong again. They beaty of Dragon ball I quess
This was honestly one of the best What-ifs I’ve seen. The suspense, music, voices, all gave me chills and kept me hooked. I did not expect it to be this good going into it.
I really thought this was some clickbait based on the title, but was sorta skeptical seeing this was 18 minutes... I was pleasantly surprised at how well the pacing, voice acting, scene selection, and story was produced. Can't believe we got to watch this for "free". New sub well earned!
In all honesty, I would not mind this being a sort of climax to DBS as a whole. The premise makes sense and is in character for Beerus and Whis, and the execution is great. It fully pays off the build up of MUI and Goku becoming Beerus' greatest rival, which I love.
When I saw the title to this video, I wasn’t all that excited but I figured this is a really good channel and let me give it a shot. I’m so happy that I did. For the first time in a while, I actually found myself rooting for Goku to win a fight and actually finish it. Wish Vegeta could’ve gotten more than toyed with by the God of Destruction but this was really good.
This is the first story out of this trend that I actually agree with. I never would think that Goku would end up losing his morals to begin with so I'm glad to see that you see it that way also!
I like this go at the scenario. It doesn't suit Goku to turn into an omnicidal (in more ways than one) maniac even after something like this. It also doesn't make sense for Beerus to just casually destroy one of his universe's best shots at defending itself, regardless of said defender's personality.
I really want to see a movie of this! This was probably the best "What If" I have ever seen! It was brilliantly written and the story was clear and concise, props to you and your team. Best 20 minutes of my life.
It's goku telling piccolo and Vegeta that they should " know better than anyone that people deserve second chances" that has me ready to cry laughing. Reminds me of the cell saga when he casually roasted vegeta outside the time chamber
You do such an incredible job at making these videos. I can tell you have a deep understanding of not only storytelling, but also of the DB universe itself. Each video feels like just as good as the actual ones, if not better. Keep up the amazing work man! 💪🏼❤️❤️😁
Phenomenal Storytelling, Great Power Scaling, Incredbile Arc & Finally, Beerus Gets Some Development & Isn't Portrayed As A Bad Guy In The End. Note:I Always Hate An Evil Goku So Seeing A Goku Who Got Betrayed But Still Stayed True To His Belief & Nature Is The Best Thing To Happen Thank You Carthu For An Amazing What If & Keep Up The Good Work

@@shindasmoshin7824 I think theu meant something where beerus would be active. For example in the zamasu arc he did things himself. Maybe they could introduce in the anime the tournament of destroyers the manga had, or a few episodes centered around beerus hunting down and defeating a makaioshin
well it was nothing new this was very old thing Spanish dbs community was comes with that idea and makes fanfic about it same goes for other Spanish fandom too it's where smug get idea to make video about that got hit viral
When Vegeta said "DO IT NOW, BROLY" my mouth was wide open, I was so shocked. This story is so amazing
Ikr it’s so good
Honestly sort of a interesting concept, especially in a timeline where Beerus took his job more seriously and recognized the general threat Goku posed, ESPECIALLY after the Tournament of power.
(Also being after the ToP would explain why he'd trap him instead of Hakai him because the Omni-King would erase Beerus if he did that)
@@KandiKontent actually, daiku theories dbs release his on the 22nd of April whereas Smugstick released his earlier on the 3rd of March so not his story
@@PCK_ exactly smugstick was the first one to start what if Goku got betrayed series and undoubtedly his story is best among all what if Goku got betrayed stories...
@@RanaJayRaj there's a few from back In 2019 actually
Nothing to do with the comment but imagine Vegeta summoned Jiren with Broly
@@KandiKontent Its SmugStick’s idea.
It was honestly heart warming hearing about how all his friends including vegeta are willing to risk it all for Goku
I'm literally addicted to this channel, with the less than great saga happening now I love this bizarre and interesting stories, PLEASE NEVER STOP
Honestly one of my favorite what ifs. Good storytelling, voice acting, editing, good pacing since you summarized something that felt like an entire series in only 18 minutes.
I stumbled across this vid while eating dinner and stayed from start to finish. This was amazing. The hype I got when Broly came to help, the even MORE hype when UI Goku broke free from the staff, it just made me smile. This was so well made. Great job!
this was so well-written, you truly are talented
What a great video, Carthu. This is probably the best version of this take, Goku being as pure as he is makes this story work so well. Great job my man! :D
Thanks a ton!
Yeah, there'll never ever be another person or Saiyan just like Goku in the series.
@@UnwantedGhost1 He's just that nigga
Wtf is going on with all the creators rn lol can't wait to see it carthu
Tru tho, evryone kinda started making these "what if goku was betrayed by (insert dragon ball character)"
i think it all originated from SmugStick, and due to the popularity and how interesting the concept was the other creators decided to try their hand at it
@@insertsound9059 yeah, He's the first one I've seen and it didn't disappoint. Hoping this one too will be interesting.
@@greedybandit9418 same, i hope this one does well
They all saw smugsticks original video and jumped on the bandwagon to get that sweet sweet 200k+ views on the first few what ifs. It's a clout train
Goku sounded soo good 🫶🏽😭 “ i use to think everyone better off without me to “
What If Requests.
(I can't remember if you have already done some of these)
What if Gohan drank the Ultra Divine Water before or after entering the Time Chamber with Goku.
What if Goku was the first "evolved" Saiyan. (like the Universe 6 Saiyan's who are born without a tail and have more potential)
What if Kami regained his youth when King Piccolo did.
What if Elder Guru fused with Kami before he died. (Maybe you could also have Lord Slug fuse with Piccolo)
What if the Super Saiyan God ritual was permanent. (Goku becomes a actual God thereby extending his life expectancy by millions of years, he gets Super Saiyan Rosè instead of Super Saiyan Blue and he is unable to enter the T.o.P)
What if Beerus (& Whis) raised Cooler.
Nice ideas especially the one with Super sayan god
For the god ki one I think the top would not happen because goku would not want to have the top since he would be unable to fight anyone
I wanna see that last one
I find it funny that when somebody tries to push Goku into a corner they just end up accidentally making him stronger…
It’s like
Opponent: I have you beat
Goku: are you sure about that? Vegeta hold my beer. Imma end this man’s whole career
@@max_garcia
You can use "I have beaten you", what is "I have you beat". 😅
This honestly seems like the most realistic take on this scenario so far, well done.
That was a pretty entertaining story! Glad to see the various twists and turns along with the nice character moments, I really dig it!
A
Glad to see you here. Hope you have a collaboration with Carthu as your channel rapidly grow.

@@StarSym 👀👀
I enjoyed this take on it, far better than the one I have been watching.
Plus I like the use of Broly in the story too!
I liked it. Not only was it not drawn out but it also shows how the characters really would've reacted to the situation. GREAT JOB!!!.
Short and sweet, I love it! I've been seeing so many people copy this scenario but I think you did it in perfect taste. Great job my guy!
Thanks so much!
Yeah, it's as the most realistic to the official as it'll get. The accurate voice acting only exemplifies it further.
This was the best what if I’ve ever seen Carthu. You really outdid yourself with this one
Man this is one of the best story telling i have seen in a while.
You should became a manga writer lol with that mindset your are bound to succeed
Whoever made those voices need a round of applause! Amazing what-if!
I linked him in the pinned comment!
lots of creators are riding this wave right now and I'm all for it
This was definitely one of the best what if’s you’ve made, very entertaining to watch
The voice acting is incredible and it sounds like a real movie. I was on the edge of my seat for this whole what if. This is incredible.
This was one of the best ones on this topic and you made a great one off too! Great stuff carthu!
Thanks a ton!
This NEEDS to be animated into a short film. That would be amazing. You should definitely get ahold of Etoilec1 Animations, who made Saitama vs. Goku, or TFS.
This is supremely under-rated. Everything from the storyline, dialogues and character. It was all SPOT ON!
Amazing stuff! :D
This is perfect for Vegeta. They need to move him past Goku and have his focus be on Beerus or others. They saw in ToP that Goku and Vegeta have some work to do.
damn, this felt like a proper dragon Z/super season condensed, felt really accurate to how the story and character would react.
14:08 imagine the pure fear you’d experience if you turn around and you see full power Broly charging in your face
Love this fresh take on this scenario! It's the first one that isn't dragged out into multiple parts. Well done Carthu!
Finally the superior storyteller is creating this story
Pretty short one but more realistic than the other ones. Very nice job!
I've seen a lot of... not good variants on this concept, usually having an unsatisfying ending like Goku finally breaking free to find out Earth and everyone on it destroyed.
The way you did this, however, feels extremely similar to how one would expect the actual anime to go if it had this storyline.
Fantastic work as always!
yours are the only one that gives DB content where it's in the spirit of the show still, everyone else is being ridiculous
Thanks Carthu
What I love about this is that it stays true, not just to Goku's character, but to that of his friends' as well. It's so like Vegeta to be just cautious/suspicious enough that he'd immediately sense alarm bells when he hears of the situation. I love how pragmatic he is here, while still retaining that classic saiyan arrogance to provoke Beerus into a direct fight.
The loyalty he's portrayed with here also feels really spot on with the way he's grown. He may fight with Goku a lot, but he very clearly trusts and respects Goku, not just as a fighter, but as a person. So many other "What if" scenarios centered on the very same topic tend to portray Vegeta and the rest of Goku's friends as backstabbing and two-faced, with them easily agreeing to betraying him once the Earth is on the line. These are people who would and have fought and died most gruesome deaths for what they believe in. It makes far more sense for them to throw their lives away in defense of their friend, than for them to simply accept Beerus' orders under threat alone.
One critique I have is that Beerus changes his tune a little too easily for how set he seems to be on this course of action. You make it somewhat clear that he does feel somewhat guilty about his actions, but considering he came to Earth with the intention to destroy it all for the sake of sparing his pride and making a point, it doesn't feel quite so satisfying that he just gives up and becomes Goku's buddy again the moment it's clear he can't win. I think it'd be a bit more understandable if you tried to subtly hint that Beerus was lowkey hoping Goku would break out, or maybe have Whis indirectly lecture Beerus on his actions. Possibly even having Vegeta lay into Beerus more during their chat where he really drives home how Goku's actions saved Beerus' life and universe, and that the god OWES Earth a great debt to really chip away at his resolve through growing guilt.
All in all, I really like the characterization of everyone here but Beerus. I felt like he was too easy.
Also, as a What if suggestion: What if Goku came to understand Gohan better in the time chamber? Would he be able to teach his son to enjoy fighting like he does, or would he maybe choose not to rely on Gohan to beat cell?
To be clear the ending isn't him becoming Goku's buddy or anything. If there were to be another part (I don't have one planned nor do I intend to make one) the fractured relationship between Earth's warriors and Beerus would be the center. Him being let off the hook in the end is no different than Vegeta or Piccolo being let go in a sense where the chance he hasn't changed lingers, but Goku is willing to take the chance because of their history. You can also think of Majin Vegeta where Goku instantly forgives Vegeta only to be betrayed right after. Basically don't expect Goku and Vegeta to train on Beerus' world anytime soon lol.
@@CarthusDojo That's fair, and also sort've recontextualizes the ending for me. Thanks for replying!
Damn everyone in this comment section writing essays 💀💀
@@CarthusDojo if that actually happened Zeno will end beerus and universe 7
That's one thing I like about this what-if: Goku's friend. They always loyal to him and I dislike how hostile Tien and some others in SmugStick's version.
17:35 ok, why did that give me chills, amazing story
Out of all the what if you have posted, I have to say this is one of my favorites. Another job well done. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
The guy that did beerus and gokus voice done an absolute good job round of a applause to them
Vocie Acting for everyone except Whis was done by Kal’s Kingdom (he’s linked in the pinned comment!
Amazing Video This The first Video I watched Of Yours and it's Truly amazing
keep up the good content
I really want this episode in dragon Ball super
Great video! I thought that Gohan and Vegeta would’ve fused, seeing as how you mentioned Gogeta exceeding Beerus earlier, but this ending was great as well.
This is top tier, never have I ever been moved to the point I was on the bridge of tears by a what-if. In just a few minutes you reminded my why I love dragon ball. Thank you Carthu
17:16 beerus finally told goku that it wasn’t monaka😂😂
Honestly, this could fit inside the main story as a mini arc to give Beerus some depth, so people stop seeing him as cuddly fluffe kitty cat that likes to sleep and be petted(And destroying planets during his free time
I honestly thought the same. “Gohan and vegeta will fuse with potara any moment now…” I didn’t think of the rituals because broly might as well have better chances with his green hair knowing how he acts when he powers up in that…. Gohan’s ultimate might bring greater yield through training… BUT maybe doing the ritual on top his ultimate might actually power him up a lot… or make vegeta train him in god Ki inside the time chamber might be better even
Nah its the manga that messed the scale they changed UI power each arc - the comments on beerus are messed up though like him using 70 percent but each arc statements become invalid since they make him stronger this happens in manga and anime
Both are quite messy. Manga simply got away with "LoL Beerus still stronker git rekt" while in the anime they're already past that. So they either will ignore that(Most likely) or get a simple statement about him training for five seconds and make him super duper strong again. They beaty of Dragon ball I quess
@@InspectorGengar the 70 percent was a lie. Whis said so himself
@@InspectorGengar So glad someone actually knows what they're talking about
This was honestly one of the best What-ifs I’ve seen. The suspense, music, voices, all gave me chills and kept me hooked. I did not expect it to be this good going into it.
I really thought this was some clickbait based on the title, but was sorta skeptical seeing this was 18 minutes... I was pleasantly surprised at how well the pacing, voice acting, scene selection, and story was produced. Can't believe we got to watch this for "free". New sub well earned!
In all honesty, I would not mind this being a sort of climax to DBS as a whole. The premise makes sense and is in character for Beerus and Whis, and the execution is great. It fully pays off the build up of MUI and Goku becoming Beerus' greatest rival, which I love.
This is probably the most realistic way for Goku to be betrayed by Beerus can't wait to see more! 💜
When I saw the title to this video, I wasn’t all that excited but I figured this is a really good channel and let me give it a shot. I’m so happy that I did. For the first time in a while, I actually found myself rooting for Goku to win a fight and actually finish it. Wish Vegeta could’ve gotten more than toyed with by the God of Destruction but this was really good.
Your videos have gotten a lot better since I last watched 💯 keep it up king
Appreciate it
14:49 I love that line. “They did all of this for Goku”
That was awesome man!! 🙌 I really enjoyed it 👍👍👌👌👌
This is the first story out of this trend that I actually agree with. I never would think that Goku would end up losing his morals to begin with so I'm glad to see that you see it that way also!
I like this go at the scenario. It doesn't suit Goku to turn into an omnicidal (in more ways than one) maniac even after something like this. It also doesn't make sense for Beerus to just casually destroy one of his universe's best shots at defending itself, regardless of said defender's personality.
wtf bro literal goosebumps keep it up with the great work much love and respect
The quality of each one of these gets better every time
I really want to see a movie of this!
This was probably the best "What If" I have ever seen!
It was brilliantly written and the story was clear and concise, props to you and your team.
Best 20 minutes of my life.
It's goku telling piccolo and Vegeta that they should " know better than anyone that people deserve second chances" that has me ready to cry laughing.
Reminds me of the cell saga when he casually roasted vegeta outside the time chamber
You do such an incredible job at making these videos. I can tell you have a deep understanding of not only storytelling, but also of the DB universe itself. Each video feels like just as good as the actual ones, if not better. Keep up the amazing work man! 💪🏼❤️❤️😁
It’s nice to finally see this story done right by Goku. In the end, he’s not a wrathful victor. Production quality’s getting insane, too.
I was a little on the fence about a DB what if when I started this vid, but it was pretty cool. :)
Phenomenal Storytelling, Great Power Scaling, Incredbile Arc & Finally, Beerus Gets Some Development & Isn't Portrayed As A Bad Guy In The End.
Note:I Always Hate An Evil Goku So Seeing A Goku Who Got Betrayed But Still Stayed True To His Belief & Nature Is The Best Thing To Happen
Thank You Carthu For An Amazing What If & Keep Up The Good Work
This was super interesting, not to mention the good voice acting for the characters, consider me absolutely impressed and intrigued
Wow. Goosebumps. Felt like i watched an actual episode
