What-If 9

**[What-If 9] Super Saiyan 4 Broly VS Baby Vegeta and Goku Black / Baby Vegito Black** is the third Episode of the Goku Black Saga, and ninth overall Episode of the What-If Series. It was published on October 13 2017.

## Plot

As Goku falls to the ground, unable to sustain the energy output of Super Saiyan 3 due to his small body, Baby prepares to end the Saiyan. At that very moment, Goku Black makes his presence known, telling the Tuffle Parasite to make his blast as strong as he can, warning him of not underestimating Saiyans. Although initial hesitance, Baby vaporizes Goku with a Final Flash. With the deed done, Baby asks why Black is here, with the latter saying how he already has been in this timeline and returned to it since it's so similar to his idealized world, subsequently proposing to Baby to become allies.

Out in the depths of space, it is revealed that Broly miraculously survived the Family Kamehameha thrown at him 16 years ago, leaving him to wonder in space in hibernation. Because of Goku's death, Broly awakens and immediately rushes towards Earth, sensing "Kakarot"'s Ki.
Broly mistakes Black for Goku, and transforms into Legendary Super Saiyan 3, courtesy of a Zenkai Boost. Black, however, laughs off his performance, effortlessly dealing with the Legendary Super Saiyan, and subsequently mocking Broly for his usage of the "useless" Super Saiyan 3. While Broly lays on the ground, bleeding he stares at the moon, before transforming into a Legendary Golden Great Ape.

The transformed Broly, out of control, briefly engages Black and Baby, before the former destroys the moon, forcing Broly to return to his base form.

However, due to his exposure to the form, Broly is able to transform into Legendary Super Saiyan 4. With this new power, he is able to decimate both Black and Baby, despite their best efforts. Baby transforms into Tuffleized Super Saiya 2 and asks Black to stall for time, as he plans to draw energy from his fellow Tuffles to form a Revenge Death Ball. Black complies and after transforming into Super Saiyan Rosé, he battles Broly.
 The Legendary Super Saiyan brutally beats down Black, until the latter activates Kaio-ken, managing to gain control of the battle briefly. With his Ki quickly depleting, Black is forced to resort to switching between Super Saiyan God and Rosé in order to conserve his energy, with this proving useless as well. At last, Baby has gathered enough energy, and after transforming into Tuffleized Super Saiyan 3 , he releases the Revenge Death Ball. After pushing Black away, Broly answers with a Ki sphere of his own, forcing a stalemate. Seeing this, Black quickly moves towards Broly, before blocking him, letting the Death Ball engulf Broly's sphere. As the black sphere approaches the two Saiyans, Black teleports away, leaving Broly to struggle against the attack. With one last effort from Baby and Black, Broly is seemingly annihilated.

As the Legendary Super Saiyan emerges unscathed from the blast, shrinking down the Death Ball, he comments that he was worried for nothing. Astonished by their adversary strength, Baby wonders how he could continuously grow stronger throughout the fight, with Black explaining how he, similarly to what he did in the past, has been using Zenkai Boosts in order to make gigantic jumps in power: the first after his return from space, the second after he was defeated by Black and the third after powering down from the Legendary Golden Great Ape Form. Black further adds Broly might be undergoing a fourth Zenkai, while also fearing the possibility of him gaining a fifth Zenkai bringing him to achieve "Super Saiyan 5". With their backs against the wall, Black reveals his final trump card: the Potara Earrings.

After briefly explaining their usage to his ally, the two agree to fuse. Broly is shocked by the Fusion's power, demanding to know who he is.
As the Fusion descends to the ground, he responds that, despite the circumstances, he is by all means Goku and Vegeta fused, therefore taking the name Vegito.
The Legendary Super Saiyan dashes towards his new enemy, with Vegito blocking all his blows with just one hand, before counter-attacking. Broly angrily declares he'll wipe the floor with his foe, before clashing with the Fusion yet again. Vegito easily beats him, tauntingly reminding Broly that he said he'll wipe the floor with him. With the battle completely in the favor of Vegito, Broly grows furious, before the former mocks Broly, concluding he'll have the honor to die to him.
Broly unleashes a gigantic Ki sphere, which is engulfed by Vegito's Final Kamehameha, striking the Legendary Super Saiyan. The now amputated Broly shouts Kakarot's name as he reaches for the Fusion, before being stabbed by Vegito's Spirit Sword and finally killing him with a Ki explosion.

After the credits end, the focus moves to Beerus' Planet, where a recently awakened God of Destruction asks his attendant Whis if he felt the same Godly Ki as he did. Using his staff, Whis discovers that the one to emit the Godly Ki was a Saiyan, in specific, a Super Saiyan God, as they both conclude. Impressed by his strength, that managed to reach his planet and wake him up, Beerus tells Whis to prepare, for they will meet this Super Saiyan God of legend.

## Trivia

* This Episode is, at the moment of writing, the longest non-Movie Episode in the What-If Series;
* This Episode and *Dragon Ball Super: Broly* share various aspects, despite the former predating the second by one year: both had Goku and Vegeta fighting against Broly, with the first two having the advantage against Broly, before the latter doesn't achieve a new form and manages to turn the tables on them, forcing Goku and Vegeta to fuse in order to take Broly down;
* Broly's transformation into a Legendary Golden Great Ape ironically mirrors GT Goku's transformation, as both situations had both Saiyans laying on the ground, defeated and writhing in pain;
* When Black mentions the possibility of Broly reaching the "Super Saiyan 5" transformation, the Legendary Super Saiyan appears in a form that resembles the popular fan-made form that would have been present in the fake sequel of Dragon Ball GT, "Dragon Ball AF";
* Black claims that the wearers of the Potara Earrings must use the same set in order to fuse, however, this was shown to be untrue when Kibito and Shin fused into Kibito Kai, as they merely removed one earring from the sets they were already wearing, and yet were still able to fuse;
* This What-If is the first to have a fan-made Fusion present, Baby Vegito Black.
