In this fanfiction, an interesting idea could be the introduction of new races. There could be a race that has the ability to manipulate energy in ways the Saiyans and other known races can't. They might have a unique power - sharing ability, where they can combine their powers with others to create a super - being. This could lead to some really epic battles and alliances in the story. Also, the story could play with the concept of time travel in a new way. Maybe the characters have to go back in time to prevent an even greater evil from emerging in the future.
Goku is almost surely going to be one of the main characters. He's the face of Dragon Ball after all. Vegeta is also very likely, as his rivalry and friendship with Goku is a central part of the series. And of course, Bulma might be there, she's been important since the very beginning, providing the gang with all kinds of cool gadgets.
A cool concept could be that the Dragon Balls are launched during a time of peace in the Dragon Ball world. But a mysterious force starts to corrupt the wishes made with the Dragon Balls, causing chaos. So, the Z - fighters have to figure out what's going on and stop this new threat while also dealing with the consequences of the corrupted wishes.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, Launch could be transported to a parallel universe on Planet 16. In this universe, the rules of Dragon Ball are a bit different. She might find herself with new abilities or facing different versions of her friends and foes. For example, Vegeta could be a king in this universe and Launch has to figure out how to deal with his different personality while also trying to find a way back to her own universe.
One interesting concept could be exploring Gine's past more deeply. Maybe her training days or her relationships with other Saiyans before she had Goku. Another could be alternate storylines where Gine plays a more active role in the major battles, using her unique Saiyan abilities in new ways.
Alternate universe stories are also common. For example, a fanfiction could create a universe where the Saiyans never lost their planet and instead became the dominant force in the universe. How would this change the power dynamics? How would characters like Frieza react? It's a great way to explore different character arcs and relationships.
One interesting concept could be a new type of Saiyan transformation. For example, an OC (Original Character) might have a transformation that combines the power of Super Saiyan with a unique energy source, like the power of nature. This could lead to new battle strategies and power levels.
One interesting concept could be the idea of how characters are reincarnated with their past memories intact. This can lead to some really cool storylines where they use their knowledge from their previous lives to gain an edge in battles or relationships. For example, a reincarnated Goku might remember all his techniques from before and quickly master new forms even faster.
One interesting concept is alternate universes. Fanfiction often explores different versions of the Dragon Ball characters in various universes. For example, a character might be a villain in one universe and a hero in another. Another concept could be new power - ups. Writers might create unique forms for the characters that are not in the original series, adding an exciting twist to the story.
One way to start a Dragon Ball Z launch fanfiction is to consider the setting. The planet Earth is constantly under threat in Dragon Ball Z. You could start your story with a new, unknown danger approaching Earth. It could be a powerful alien race that no one has ever heard of before. Then, introduce how the Z - fighters, like Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien, respond to this threat at the very beginning. They might be much weaker compared to later in the series, so it adds an interesting dynamic to the story.
Launch could become more confident. In a new setting like Planet 16, she would be forced to adapt quickly. This would make her rely on her own instincts more, thus growing in confidence.
