*** Being the title of the video, Gokuis already badass in canon, there were being born a few beings he could never quite overcome, half-angel counts as this trope. How much? He was able to defeat [[PhysicalGod Beerus]] being one of them.

*** Goku, once he unlocks Ultra Instinct can hold his own against Whis and Vados going all out[[note]]The Grand Minister disabled the Angel Law for their fight with Goku[[/note]].
**Gohan also counts due to being Vegeta was born with God Ki. Having God Ki enchances your abilities greatly, meaning Vegeta is born way stronger than he was in canon at birth.
** Due to their fathers having God Ki,which greatly enhances all half-saiyans, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, are automatically this as they too also have God Ki.
** Just like in canon, Cell has the DNA of all the fighters. Since vegeta's DNA is part of him, Cell also has God Ki. He can also access his own version of Super Saiyan Blue that turns him red.
** Due to the increased powersfar beyond what he started out of the Z-Fighters and with when Dr. Gero having observed Beerus' battle with Goku and hence, allowing him to use that battle's data for his androids, the androids are way stronger.
** While granted he's already stronger than he is in canon at this point in the story, with Goku still around at the end of the Cell Saga, Gohan has more motivation to train, making him stronger than he wasborn.

She then healed him and before she knew it, she ended up sleeping with him and conceiving Goku.]]
** Because Vegeta has higher power level at birth thanks to God Ki, Broly was not banished to Vampa and hence, Paragus stayed on Planet Vegeta. This would eventually lead to Vegeta taking Broly with him for missions as it was blown up.
** With Goku being born a god, Zamasu decided to take Vegeta's body as inherently part of his mortal-hating mindset. When he took Vegeta's body and became Vegeta Black, when Vegeta Black followed Trunks into the past, Vegeta was outraged over his body being used to terrorize Future Trunks and his timeline and immediately attacked Vegeta Black without any hesitance. As a result, when Vegeta Black was forced to return to the future, he had no time to damage Trunks' time machine.
** Because of Goku's hybrid status of being an angel and a mortal, all Angels and Destroyers also took part in the Tourament of Power.
** Since Whis and Beerus were part of this Universe 7 team, there was no need to revive Frieza.

He's forced to decide if his son is worth the other universes. [[spoiler:He, under the encouragement of Chi-Chi, chooses to revive the universes over his son.]]
* HybridPower: The Grand Minister believes that Goku being a half-saiyan, half-angel will allow him to be more powerful than two pure angels going all out.
* IChooseToStay: Future Trunks agree with Goku's request to stay in the present timeline, due to everyone he knows already dead in his own timeline.

* LukeIAmYourFather: Indirectly, [[spoiler:Goten as the Knight King reveals to everyone that Vados is Goku's biological mother by calling her grandmother]].
* MissingMom: As per usual for Goku's mother. This time, it's not Gine. [[spoiler: It's Vados.]] She does eventually reconcil with Goku near the end of the series.
* {{Nephewism}}: Goku was basically raised by Whis, his uncle, for his childhood. Goku eventually tells Whis that he sees him as a father.
* DecliningPromotion: [[spoiler:Goku turns down the offer to become the newest Omni-King, citing how he just wanted to remain as Goku.]]
* DeityOfHumanOrign:
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} for Goku. He was already in the realms of angelic godhood thanks to being a half-angel, but with his potential unlocked fully, mastered his powers and seeing Vados die made him a full angel.
** [[spoiler: Goten as the Knight King ascends to become a being angel via the Super Dragon Balls. Considering Goten already had God Ki within him, it can be considered a {{downplayed|Trope}} version for him.]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Super Buu manages to absorb Beerus, which can never happen in canon. To be fair to Beerus, he was briefly caught off-guard, which was enough for Super Buu to absorb him.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation:
** An implied one for Paragus. Broly does not mention his father at all, implying he did not spend a lot of time with him. This means Paragus likely perished on Planet Vegeta along with all the other saiyans instead of dying on Earth from Frieza's death beam.
** Chi-Chi's the one to kill Raditz instead of Piccolo.
** Nappa is
** Piccolo is the one to kill Android 16 instead of Cell.
** Dr. Gero is killed by Broly instead of Android 17.
** Android 19 is killed by Broly instead of Vegeta.
** Cell is killed for good by Goku using Stardust Breaker on him instead of Gohan with his Kamekameha,
** Instead of dying by consuming too much of Goku's light energy, Babidi dies when Vegeta [[HeadCrushing grabbed his head and squeezed it so hard it exploded]].
** Dabura dies by being killed by Piccolo blasting him in his stomach instead of him being eaten by Majin Buu as a cookie.
** Fused Zamasu is killed by Goku's Kamekameha Wave instead of being bisected by Future Trunks' Sword of Hope.
** Instead of Moro being killed by Goku by having the crystal on his head explode in the manga, here [[spoiler:he is killed by an evil Goten for his failure over killing the Z-fighters]].
** Fu dies by Piccolo's hand instead of Goku's Kamekameha.
** Cumber dies to Super Saiyan Blue 4 Vegeta's Final Flash instead of Xeno Vegito pushing him onto the final chain that sealed that prison planet that explodes with his Kamekameha.
* DivineIntervention: Goku was not the one to destroy the Red Ribbon Army with him being on Beerus' world training with Whis; Kami was.
* DroppingTheBombshell: Everyone barring Whis[[note]]Who is already aware since before the start of this WhatIf proper[[/note]] and Piccolo[[note]]His fusion allows him to sense Goku having Angel DNA[[/note]] is shocked to hear the Grand Minister reveal that Goku is a half-angel.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Vados finally gets to spend time with Bardock and Goku after suffering for so long.]]
* EnemyMine: Knowing Goku is a huge threat to their surviability, all the Destroyers and the Angels (except for Vados who teamed up with Whis) decided to gang up on Universe 7 in the bid to improve their survival rates. It doesn't work.
* ExpressDelivery: [[spoiler: When Chi-Chi announces that she is pregnant with Goku's third kid, Goku, now a full Angel, simply use his staff to [[RealityWarper magic the baby out of her whole]], just like Whis did with Bulla in canon during the Universal Survival Arc.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Apparently the Super Dragon Balls were used a few times but no one knows who were using them. Apparently they were first used around the time Goten appeared to have been erased by Super Buu's Hakai blast. [[spoiler: Turns out Hearts and Fu have been using the Super Dragon Balls to turn Goten evil and use him to destroy all the upper gods of the multiverse.]]
** Goku finishes his training with the Grand Minister. He just needs a trigger to use it. [[spoiler: It's unleashed during his fight with the Knight King and it's how he kills him.]]
* ForWantOfANail:
** The most important nail that enables this WhatIf to be possible: [[spoiler: Vados ends up in Universe 7 to visit her brother Whis. This led to her to encounter Bardock and his squad being under attack. Bardock survived but was badly injuried. She then healed him and before she knew it, she ended up sleeping with him and conceiving Goku.]]
** Because Vegeta has higher power level at birth thanks to God Ki, Broly was not banished to Vampa and hence, Paragus stayed on Planet Vegeta. This would eventually lead to Vegeta taking Broly with him for missions as it was blown up.
** With Goku being born a god, Zamasu decided to take Vegeta's body as inherently part of his mortal-hating mindset. When he took Vegeta's body and became Vegeta Black, when Vegeta Black followed Trunks into the past, Vegeta was outraged over his body being used to terrorize Future Trunks and his timeline and immediately attacked Vegeta Black without any hesitance. As a result, when Vegeta Black was forced to return to the future, he had no time to damage Trunks' time machine.
** Because of Goku's hybrid status of being an angel and a mortal, all Angels and Destroyers also took part in the Tourament of Power.
** Since Whis and Beerus were part of this Universe 7 team, there was no need to revive Frieza.
* GodzillaThreshold: Future Zamasu immediately tells Vegeta Black to fuse with him when he appears knowing that seperated, both of them would lose to Blue Evolved Vegeta and half-angel Goku. Despite meeting the Godzilla in Goku, it's not enough to defeat him.
* HeelFaceTurn:
** Vegeta and Broly join the Z-fighters much eariler at the end of the Saiyan Saga instead of the Namek Saga (or Buu Saga if you only count completed HeelFaceTurn) for Vegeta and post-Universal Survival Saga for Broly.
** Android 17 and 18 willingly join the Z-fighters as per canon.
* HeinzHybrid: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Despite Angel DNA being able to be passed down, the parent who gives the Angel DNA must be a full Angel. If not, in the case of half-angels like Goku, they would only pass down the non-angel DNA to their offsprings.
* HeroicBastard: Goku's as heroic as most of his What-If counterparts made by [=GokuT23=]. His parents however are not married due to them having a one-night stand with the mother getting pregnant with him. [[spoiler:She's Vados. As the Universe 6's angel, her not being married to Bardock makes sense. It's implied they do eventually marry at the end of the
* HeroicSacrifice: Piccolo dies to Cell by rushing his exploding body out of Earth. [[DisneyDeath He gets revived very quickly]].
* HopeSpot: Goku hoped to be able to use the Super Dragon Balls to revive Goten but the Grand Minister informed him that there was only one more use of the balls because someone else had already used them before. He's forced to decide if his son is worth the other universes. [[spoiler:He, under the encouragement of Chi-Chi, chooses to revive the universes over his son.]]
* HybridPower: The Grand Minister believes that Goku being a half-saiyan, half-angel will allow him to be more powerful than two pure angels going all out.
* IChooseToStay: Future Trunks agree with Goku's request to stay in the present timeline, due to everyone he knows already dead in his own timeline.
* IHaveNoSon: [[spoiler:Goku declared the Knight King, who is actually Goten, to already be dead to him, saying how Goten heroically died fighting Super Buu while the Knight King was just an imposter to him.]]
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Despite not living on Earth, Goku still gets his name[[note]]Vados named him Son Goku instead of Grandpa Gohan[[/note]], still get hit on the head[[note]]From Whis in the attempt to pacficy him instead of him accidentally falling down and hitting his head. It works.[[/note]], meet the Z-fighters members[[note]]He just meets them as a teenager instead as a child[[/note]], and cross paths with Chi-Chi[[note]]He also first meets her as a teenager instead as a child.[[/note]].
** Despite not having any Tourament happening between Beerus and Champa, Zeno still wants to host the Tourament of Power. In this case, it's mainly to see the powers that came from how Goku fought against the Grand Minister.
** Despite the lack of Frieza to push him into his Destroyer mindset, Toppo still uses his God of Destuction powers abeit willingly this time.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Indirectly, [[spoiler:Goten as the Knight King reveals to everyone that Vados is Goku's biological mother by calling her grandmother]].

* {{Nephewism}}: Goku was basically raised by Whis, his uncle, for his childhood. Goku eventually tells Whis that he sees him as a father.
* OneNightStandPregnancy: Goku was concevived after a one night stand between Bardock and [[spoiler: Vados]].
* PregnantBadass: Chi-Chi was pregnant with Goten when she fought Android 18 to a standstill and killed the Cell Jrs.
* PregnantBadass: Chi-Chi was pregnant with Goten when she fought Android 18 to a standstill and killed the Cell Jrs.

!! ''What if Goku Was Born A Half Angel?'' has the following tropes:
* AdaptationalBadass:
** While Goku is already badass in canon, there were a few beings he could never quite overcome, [[PhysicalGod Beerus]] being one of them. In this adaptation, not only is he able to easily overpower Beerus and Champa working together, he could also win against Whis and Vados going all out[[note]]The Grand Minister disabled the Angel Law for their fight with Goku[[/note]].
** Gohan also counts due to being born with God Ki, which greatly enhances his powers far beyond what he started out with when he was born.
* AdaptationEarlyAppearance: Whis, Beerus, Merus, Vados, and the Grand Minister all appear much earlier in the story than they do in-canon, appearing way before the Majin Buu saga instead of after it.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Goku being born a half-angel, half-saiyan as opposed to being a full-blooded saiyan in most other adaptations.
* DeadGuyJunior: Or [[GenderInverted dead girl junior]] in this case. [[spoiler:Goku and Chi-Chi have a third kid, a daughter, whom Goku suggest to name Gine. Gine is Goku's mother in most other adaptations]].
* DeathByAdaptation:
** DoubleSubverted for Goten. He appears to have been erased by Super Buu's Hakai attack with Goku unable to rewind the effects with his Do-Over. However, late into the series, [[spoiler:Fu actually saved him at the last moment and turned him into evil, citing on how his parents neglected him. However, Goten then dies for good after Goku unlocked his full powers and killed him]].
** Vados is also hit by this near the end of the series. [[DeathIsCheap She gets revived by the Super Dragon Balls]] [[spoiler: once Goten is killed]].
* HeroicBastard: Goku's as heroic as most of his What-If counterparts made by [=GokuT23=]. His parents however are not married due to them having a one-night stand with the mother getting pregnant with him. [[spoiler:She's Vados. As the Universe 6's angel, her not being married to Bardock makes sense. It's implied they do eventually marry at the end of the series]].
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Goku is this with a [[HumanAlien Saiyan]] father and an [[PhysicalGod Angel]] mother. [[spoiler:Later, Gine, Goku (a full Angel)'s and Chi-Chi (Saiyan)'s daughter, is also this]].
* PhysicalGod: Apart from those already established in canon, there are a few new ones.
** While Goku is already one in canon, he's one right from birth as he's a half-angel.
** Gohan and Goten also counts due to being born with God Ki.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In canon, Goku is not related to the angels at all due to having saiyan parents. In this story, being a half-angel, Goku is related to the other angels. [[spoiler:More specifically, he's Vados' son]]. By extension, it makes Gohan and Goten grandsons of the angels.
