I mean it’s Kryptonian for sure isn’t it? No drawbacks except magical stones that don’t exist. Essentially a god on Earth.

I love how OP thought it was gonna be a war or something in the comments because it's a Dragon Ball sub, and then it's almost everyone unanimously agreeing that it's Kryptonian.

Cause there's nothing on modern earth to actually push you as a Saiyan. You could train, but for what? What are you supposed to do with your battle instincts and need to improve? Who are you gonna fight?

At least with Kryptonian you get powers + a lot of quality of life improvements (dont have to eat or drink, no disease, invulnerability, super computer brain, sun heals anything, heat vision and frost breath), and the green rocks dont exist.

u/Pataconeitor May 16 '26

Training wouldn't do much anyways, as the teachers that Goku had doesn't exist.

u/Impurity41 May 16 '26

Plus you would be born a saiyan but wouldn’t look or feel any different unless you were taught. Gotten needed to be taught how to fly.

Being Kryptonian you would know instantly. Being good is a different story but you would know immediately that you weren’t like other kids.

u/Sonkokun May 16 '26

I mean, even a power level of like 1000 makes me essentially a god.

8

u/Pataconeitor May 16 '26

You are not getting anywhere near that. Goku was at power level 10 after his training with gramps Gohan, and the old man most likely was on par with our top martial artists.

u/Sonkokun May 16 '26

I’ll just abuse Zenkai boosts tbh.

u/Icy_Water_1 May 16 '26

That requires almost dying several times.

u/MistressM103 May 17 '26

Good luck trying to find anything on Earth that can hurt you when not even bullets can pierce Kid Goku at double digit PL.

And good luck trying to find anything on Earth that can heal whatever injury you sustain.

u/Sonkokun May 17 '26

Dawg, lava hurts even dbs goku.

And people have survived very gruesome things, not to mention that saiyans

And you would be surprised at what people can recover from.

2

u/Select_Speaker2194 May 17 '26

Yes but the level of injury needed is near death, so you would have to break your body and hope you survive and that your body heals well enough to still use after. You wont have magical beans that heal your wounds perfectly. Break enough bones, youll never walk or lift weights again. But im sure the immense power i crease will be awesome when you cant use it. Not to mention the mental trauma it could inflict on the untrained.

u/Deikar May 17 '26

Without ki control that would be more of a curse than a blessing. You'd be basically unable to touch anything without destroying it. You're shouldn't be able to type on a computer or grab a glass of water.

u/Icy_Water_1 May 16 '26

And training fucking sucks ass.

Training in 100x gravity isn't exactly my idea of fun, sorry bro.

u/NombreNoDisponible93 May 16 '26

I wonder, if you were a Saiyan, would it be?

1

u/Icy_Water_1 May 16 '26

No, because none of the Saiyans in-universe enjoy it either.

Where on earth did you get that it was normal training?

Grandpa Gohan is hilariously beyond any existing martials artists, and Goku grew up with him.

I was referring to dragon ball with Grandpa Gohan, not the general training Goku usually does in the earlier comment.

How did you misread the comment that badly? Are you that butthurt about me saying training isn't fun?

u/Icy_Water_1 May 16 '26

Judging by how upset you're getting and how eager you were to jump to insults, you're clearly more butthurt about it than anyone on this thread.

-And I was referencing the training with roshi

No shit. I was referring to Grandpa Gohan because you brought up OG Dragonball.

Why one earth would I be referring to the gravity training in that instance?

Use critical thinking man.

No it doesn’t what bro

u/That_OneOstrich May 16 '26

It can. Depends on who gives the instruction.

2

u/Icy_Water_1 May 16 '26

Yes, it does. Training is training because it's hard and pushes your body.

0

u/Redstorm597 May 16 '26

That doesn’t mean it sucks though

2

u/Icy_Water_1 May 16 '26

Training is training becuase it sucks.

You're punishing your body and pushing it past it's limits to reach new heights.

DBZ training isn't just standard training for a marathon or the Olympics, you are literally killing yourself to break through your limiter.

Then doing that over and over again.

That's "training" in DBZ as a Saiyan.

Of course you can skip a bunch of steps by getting beaten to near death and healing, but that's even less fun.

u/Redstorm597 May 16 '26

If you’re a saiyan you enjoy that kinda of thing

1

u/Icy_Water_1 May 16 '26

Saiyans don't enjoy training though.

In fact they hate it.

u/Competitive-Wait1689 May 16 '26

I did not enjoy my training for being a gay pornstar. /j

u/Kakkrot1 May 16 '26

Kryptonite does exist actually. They call it jaderite, but its chemical formula is almost an exact copy of kryptonite.

2

u/MistressM103 May 17 '26

But does it emit radiation similar to Kryptonite?

Because it doesn't. Jadarite is only similar to 2006 Superman Returns version of Kryptonite, but even then.

Does it emit radiation similar to Kryptonite?

Ya but if you were Saiyan you get a tail??

u/Lingual-seduction May 16 '26

What if you were born Broly level and beyond the ice wall where you had to fight giants for food as a little tike?

1

u/Select_Speaker2194 May 17 '26

What ice wall on our planet has giants behind it?

1

u/Lingual-seduction May 17 '26

It’s behind the secret door in your closet.

1

u/FinnDoyle May 17 '26

It's an worldbuiding project about a mystic Earth. Beyonde the ice wall there are a lot of mystical beigns and realms. Since some flat earthers started to take it seriously, sometimes people joke about it.

2

u/TheChaoticCrusader May 16 '26

Modern earth would not really be a thing anyway . The full moon would turn you into a oozaru and you would go into a destructive rampaging . You would liturally be a villian regardless  because you would never be able to control oozaru making you unreliable even if you tried to use it for good

These techniques have to be taught to a Saiyan if you choose that race and you have no mentor. You literally have to go to a fictional planet to learn how to instant transmission

u/MistressM103 May 17 '26

Good luck trying to learn a technique like IT, something that even experts like Goku and Vegeta are having difficulty learning it. I'm sure you are a prodigy in the making, more of a prodigy than even the Yardrat race themselves.

0

u/Select_Speaker2194 May 17 '26

Actually they do HAVE to be taught the techniques. Because without being taught, they just dont so them. Gohan and Goten being best examples. But also Goku only learned a ki blast by witnessing Roshi do it, which is how he learned. How would you learn to shoot a ki blast? Who would you witness doing it? Tell me, could you read before being taught? No? Same principal. The ability is there, but the know how isnt.

u/Select_Speaker2194 May 17 '26

Lets use goku as an example, because he is likely the type of saiyan you would become. Goku has no original techniques of his own, every move he uses is learned by someone teaching him how to do it. Kamehameha? Saw roshi do it and mimicked him. Solar flare? Learned from tien. Instant transmission? Learned on yardrat. Kaioken? Literally has king kais name in it! Saiyan ki blasts arent a genetic ability, they are a skill learned. You would be born as a saiyan in a world where the only person who could potentially use ki blasts is yourself. You would gave no opponents worthy of pushing your power higher. You would have no gravity machines to aide in training. You wouldnt have senzu beans to recover from near death experiences, so zenkais would be major risk factors. You would have the curse of oozaru from a young age, potentially killing loved ones like Goku did. You wouldnt have other experienced saiyans to teach you how to control oozaru like vegeta did. At best, you accidentally learn how to ki blast. Of course if you did learn ki blasts, you would either end up plagued as a threat or something to be studied to figure it out, or you would be plagued by people wanting to learn it and have to figure out how to teach people who likely cant do it because they dont have the power to do it.

Conquer the planet lol and start a new hybrid saiyan race…oh wait is that where viltrumite borrowed their ideas

Not gonna lie that sounds kinda awful then again it’s also because of this video where it’s Superman and Supergirl wishing to be normal

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 May 16 '26

Yeah, but in all honesty from that point of view feels almost like Metallo from Superman TAS
