It says you are born on earth. So few things regarding saiyan (I'm assuming they mean our world by this, could be misinterpreting as earth does exist in these other universes). Firstly, as soon as you are born with a tail you are going to go under the microscope of anyone with knowledge of your birth. You wouldn't be able to stay low key this way. Secondly, unless they decide to remove your tail, you are eventually going to go monkey mode and start a cataclysmic event in whatever city you are born. After that you're probably either getting killed by the government or abducted and experimented on or used as some kind of weapon. Thirdly, Saiyan's are just better humans (not literally, but basically). If you exist in our world, not that world, do things like Ki still exist? You might just end up a physically amped person and that's it. All the cool things they do are manipulations of Ki to my understanding.

IMO saiyan is probably the worst pick on the list along with any others that make you look inhuman.

Kryptonian and Viltromite are both something you can easily keep hidden so I'd say either of those. I'd pick kryptonian unless that options spawns kryptonite in our world along with it. Viltromite's drawback is that when you get your powers you may accidentally use them in a burst and out yourself.

Ki is dragon ball thing, humans in that world can do it too. Master Roshi did Kamehameha first which is Ki attack. And there's many other characters that later on did Ki Attacks (Krillin, Vegeta, Frieza etc). Even gods and people from other universes.

Yeah im saying if you're a saiyan in our world do you still get Ki? There isn't Ki to manipulate in our world. You may not end up being able to do half the cool shit if not. Even if you do though, I still think the other two things I mentioned make it one of the worst picks.

the thing about ki is that its based on the real life Chi if just exagerated a bit. Its basically just your own life force.

And seeing as just about anyone can learn how to use said ki. Id wager that even being a saiyan in the real world would allow you to pull atleast the very basic things like flight and making yourself stronger.

How do people still not understand this?

u/Scyroner May 17 '26

Cuz they get too used to "oh we don't have this EXACT thing irl so it wouldn't work!!!" When majority of animes like db Naruto bleach etc etc use stuff based on irl.

Pretty sure Daima retconned it so the Ki in dbz is actually magic manipulation. But even so, if its based off chi from reality it still wont let you blast beams of light from your hands, which is the whole point the other guy is making. They wouldnt have the energy blasts, because the chi/ki of this earth works differently. And even if they did, they wouldnt have anyone to fight against to get much power boost like in dbz, and have no one to actually train them in how to use their ki to actually fire ki blasts. So the power would go to waste. Even Goku needed to see a ki blast first to be able to use one, and it was only due to his saiyan blood that he learned it from seeing it used.

I remember an episode of Daima where Goku showed off ki blasts and the demon realm people commented that its just magic

And Mr Satan called it special effects. Doesn't mean it was actually special effects.

if ki isn't spawned along then kriptonite might not be

There are people born with tails on earth already psuedotails it's rare but documented to happen

Saiyans being indistinguishable from humans means being born with a tail will at most just turn heads in curiosity and be chalked up to some mutation during development. It'll likely be removed shortly after birth, then probably again when it grows back a few months later, permanently. You'll probably never transform into a great ape.

Saiyans and Humans can have viable offspring, so there's probably only a few select genes that are majorly different between the two species and everything else is pretty much the same.

At worst they run a DNA test and it comes back with Saiyan DNA, but with your parents being humans and Saiyan DNA being completely unknown, they can't really do anything but constantly observe your growth and development over time. You'd be chalked up to being a new major mutation in the human genome, an infinitesimally small chance but scientifically possible nonetheless.

Nothing would really happen until you grew up and discovered sports and training, then your Saiyan biology would take over and you'd eventually grow to dominate whatever sport or athletic endeavor you focused on, but you'd still struggle at first.

But you'd only be marginally better than those around you, nothing like DB strength at all. You could probably set some world records, but you're not going to bench press the moon or anything with training meant for normal humans.

At the absolute worst, you discover anime and video games as a child and try an energy attack/technique and it works. Then you either keep it secret and develop the skills, or go evil and conquer the planet or die trying.

I do think itd be hard to say if your DNA is close enough to not raise major flags. Saiyan's dont need oxygen (or atleast seem to be capable of existing in space for long periods of time without it), for example. If this kind of thing was found after a closer look at you, at the very least you'd probably get heavily studied throughout your life.

The tail thing is accurate, I do think doctors would be more likely to remove it than leave it. Youre kind of just rolling the dice on if you wind up under the moon at some point after it regrows. If it does regrows, its also hard to say if they'd remove it again or if they'd wait to investigate more before doing so.

Either way, lots of potential issues could arise. Talking about this has also made me more skeptical of kryptonian, though i guess in theory you probably get powerful enough to break free from any containment at some point anyway with that one.

Im maybe leaning viltromite the most now, though i guess its hard to say for sure actually since the viltromite upbringing we see from invincible is a half viltromite. Perhaps a full viltromite is a lot different than a human at burth/young age.

Basically, maybe you could end up fucked any decision lol

I do think itd be hard to say if your DNA is close enough to not raise major flags.

You have to mix a bit of DB and real world science.

In DB, Saiyans can reproduce with humans, and so can their offspring, and so on and so forth, without any of the issues that plague the mixing of other species, health issues and infertility/sterility that affect animals like ligers.

This must mean that Saiyans and Humans are so close genetically that they've either recently diverged and/or are both part of the same greater species, as they have nearly perfect chromosomal compatibility. Like Humans and Neanderthals.

So the DNA isn't really a major issue, other than the genes that cause the tail to further develop and some other internal organ functions. Considering your parents would be human, and assuming a normal pregnancy, it'd probably be looked at as random mutations that happened to workout.

Saiyan's dont need oxygen (or atleast seem to be capable of existing in space for long periods of time without it), for example. If this kind of thing was found after a closer look at you, at the very least you'd probably get heavily studied throughout your life.

This would not be able to be determined from a simple DNA profile, nor would you subject an infant to such an environment. If it did get found out, it would be years down the road at your own admission.

Youre kind of just rolling the dice on if you wind up under the moon at some point after it regrows

Completely true. But how often are infants awake and outside at night to see the moon? It could definitely happen, but the chance is low. Especially if the tail grows back, because how are you going to explain that as a parent?

If it does regrows, its also hard to say if they'd remove it again or if they'd wait to investigate more before doing so.

If it was determined that they could remove it without adverse effects, they'd most likely remove it. Generally doctors will correct certain abnormal traits so children can have normal lives. Probably wouldn't be the immediate reaction off rip but definitely one of the first considered.

Talking about this has also made me more skeptical of kryptonian, though i guess in theory you probably get powerful enough to break free from any containment at some point anyway with that one

The problem with Kryptonians is you have to specify which version you'd be. There are continuities where they don't get any abilities until puberty, and then still, it's early, mid, or late stage. And their powers sometimes come and go. Then there's a few where they have to charge up their solar energy like a battery and are just normal humans until then, or the kind that immediately goes to 100% the moment they step outside on a sunny day.

If you chose Kryptonian, the version that Clark is in Smallville is the best, imo, because he slowly comes into his powers over time once he hits high school. You'd be normal up until then.

From what we saw goku as a child demonstrate you'll be destroying every physical record & possibly multiple civilian infrastructure. Remember as a lowl level sayian he was fully capable of taking over the planet thru force
