This is interesting! I always had the personal theory that Gohan was a mutant amongst full and half blooded Saiyans. This would explain his incredible potential compared to the others, and his ability to evolve based on rage. The spiky, white hair color and red eyes resemble the appearance of an albinism mutation, present in many animals including apes. This could be the signal of a mutated Super Saiyan form taking place.

Take all the time you need dude. It's fine if you go back to 2D sprites, it's understandable and your own choice.

I love the idea of the Gohan Beast being an infected demon. I love how you try explaining things the series itself does not bother explaining! Keep it Up!!! ❤

No matter how long it takes, unless you have another brilliant what-if in mind to create, animating one of GT-Super timeline videos would go down as one of your best💯. Keep making the dreams! We here when you ready

In my headcanon Gohan achieved his beast form because he somehow tapped into demonic ki by learning the makankosappo, and this ties perfectly with your elder kai theory. The makankosappo isn't a regular ki blast, unlike the masenko, and the fact that he learned it and got beast form immediately after is too much of a coincidence. I believe he realized his potencial by learning it but couldn't pull it off until the events of the movie. He was able to control himself because of his experience with ss2.

Honestly appreciate the effort put in the narrative almost over the animation. That’s something i really cherish from your videos not just from the crazy fighting sequences but also how crazy stuff i’d never thought of ties together,which is why i personally enjoy the what else series almost just as much. Glad everything (not just animation progress but your motivation and drive for these projects) is going at a positive pace,much luck whenever it comes out!👍

I personally really wished they gave Gohan God Ki, and Beast is him using his Ultimate Form and fusing it with God Ki to make it his own thing over Super Saiyan Blue. Also, I kind of wish Blue was just Vegeta's Super Saiyan God Form. Goku's God form being more lean and slim to go with his martial arts origin while Blue being a bit more bulkier to go with Vegeta's pride on being the strongest and a more intimidating stance.

If only the creators gave this much thought to the backstory of each transformation! Well done!

This is excellent. My idea was that since the ox king in the wukong myth is a demon then the db ox king might be descended from one and that demon dna linked to gohans beast form. Also will we be getting a new what if where frieza successfully becomes the supreme kai of time. (In xenoverse 2 he almost becomes one and i really want to see what it would look like. Perhaps a full body version of the black and red half of the body?)

The theory I was going for was the combination of when his potential was unlocked both by the Kai’s (buu saga) and the one back then with guru(namek arc) and with his rage he tapped more into both and combined them with his Saiyan genes

I’m glad you’re trying new stuff Hyorin! Also, it’s nice you take your time to prepare things from a storytelling standpoint instead of just thinking about fighting, shows how much you care about the project. I’m following every video with great interest!

Once, in a q and a Toriyama hinted that Tenshinhan's third eye was a power linked to the gods, and without Crane's influence hed have godlike power to tap into. (this was well before dbs) Could you perhaps do something regarding Tenshinhan someday? :D love your videos!

Excited to see the project at it's completion, however much time that takes. This is kinda unrelated to the animation itself, more of an idea really, but have you thought about asking people to VA some of your animations? Like specifically just people who are fans of the anime and like voicing. I'm sure there would be nuances to that like coordinating and paying them for their work of course, but I think it'd make a pretty worthwhile investment. Your animation quality has always been top notch and you're still finding ways to get better which is crazy to me. Adding voices to some of these already cool animations, and even the What-Else series too, could go insanely hard imo Again, just an idea for my question more than anything. With or without voicing though I always have my eyes peeled for one of your uploads. Hope your holidays are off to a good start o7

Tetsuya, may you rest in peace. Thank you for directing DBS Broly Movie. So sad to get early to get cancer. How can we survive to prevent these critical attacks?😢

I actually had the idea of gohan actually keeping his tail and accidentally goes to beast oozaru then having trouble using it till he gain control from pan and he become primal beast aka ssjfour with beast then beat perfect cell max max with a 10x kamhama and perfect cell max rush in to stop it but when gohan say ha and he blast cell max to nothing with his mouth blast

Here is my top 5 What-If ideas that I would love to see animated: 1. [What-If] Majuub vs. Kefla 2. [What-If] Piccolo vs. Pikkon 3. [What-If] Frieza vs. Cooler 4. [What-If] Gohan vs. Broly (Super) 5. [What-If] Majuub had Kaioken? I have had these concepts in my head for a while. What do you think?

Yo guys! Got a few updates for you regarding [What-If #21]!
• I know how much you love the infographics I include in the animations, so I’ve been thinking of a really solid way to give a valid reason for the “Beast” transformation (which has been tough, not gonna lie haha).
Originally, I was going to go with the idea that Gohan training under Piccolo over time sort of “infected” him, giving him a more demonic appearance similar to the Demon Clan. However, I think the reasoning is going to be a bit different now, or maybe a mix of both. The explanation I’m going with for “Beast,” will, as the movies and statements indicated, tie into Gohan’s Rage, something we’ve seen multiple times before in the Saiyan and Cell Sagas.
I will attribute Beast's demonic appearance to the Elder Kai's magic. Because the Elder Kai's Shinjin race originates from the Demon World, it somewhat 'corrupted' the essence of Gohan's Rage, which first manifested back in the Cell Games as a Super Saiyan 2, thus making 'Beast' take on a similar appearance, though it is not, exclusively, a Super Saiyan transformation.
• Watching Gohan control his rage while retaining his intelligence against Cell Max has helped Broly overcome his own berserk state, allowing him to finally control his Super Saiyan transformation. I believe the manga, before it entered hiatus, hinted at a close connection between Gohan’s and Broly’s respective demeanors and power-ups, and I wanted to reflect that in the animation.
• Many major parts of the animation are already complete (I'd say above 80% has been animated), the animation itself, the 3D stages, even most of the sound effects as well had been applied to that. The What-If segments, though, aren’t finished in chronological order yet. There are still some in-between scenes and extra details that need to be added so everything flows smoothly. Picking up motivation to work on this What-If has honestly been really tough (After this, I think I’ll go back to the previous 2D Sprite Animations, I’ve got more inspiration for those), But I’m steadily working on it, and it's going to be amazing, I'm doing everything at a healthy pace, so no need to worry. I still don't know of a release date since my pacing has plenty to do with the inspiration and motivation I mentioned above, which I had been lacking, but it *is* making progress.
I want to finish this just as much as everyone wants to see it finished, and mark my words, I will finish it! I really appreciate all your extreme patience with me through this. I promise it’ll be worth your time.
Love you guys and be well! I’ll also try my best to answer some questions about the story if you have any here in the comments! Feel free to suggest things as well, I always love to read your ideas! :D
