the shadow dragons were straight up evil outside of nuova


* AdaptationExpansion:
** The Shadow Dragons get expanded upon a bit, with it being explained they're not ''created'' by the negative energy, but ''summoned'' by it and have existed for far longer. Nuova and Eis's fusion implies they've been around for so long that they remember the Metamorans and why they died. It's also explained that they're corrupted by the selfish wishes and their ''true'' purpose isn't to destroy the world, but to take the corrupted Dragon Balls to the Super Dragon Balls to be purified.
** Shin Shenron's motives are also expanded upon: he desires to use the Super Dragon Balls to make a wish in order to punish mortals and prevent this from happening again.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Pretty much the point of the fic, as it focuses on Raditz undergoing a HeelFaceTurn. The series is ''literally'' titled "What if Raditz Turned Good," so this was somewhat of a given.

* AmazonianBeauty: Future Ranch is described as being 6'/183cm and well-built, and certainly has Future Trunks' eye. Adult Ranch from GT also qualifies, since she's muscular, but still cute in [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/teamfourstar/images/9/9d/Adult_Ranch_fully_grown_all_grown_up_%28by_SirBaisa%29_Raditz_turned_Good_Dragon_Ball_R%26R_Z_Abridged_MasakoX_TFS_Team_Four_Star.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20191015200829 official merchandise for her]].

We also get to see adult Ranch in R&R episode 8.



* StatuesqueStunner: Ranch takes after her father in height, so Future Ranch and adult Ranch are 6'/183cm tall(According to ''What if Future Ranch Went To the Past Episode 2'') or 6'1/185cm (according to R&R Episode 5 Debrief) and Future Trunks is very attracted to Future Ranch, who's [[TinyGuyHugeGirl a half-foot taller than his' 5'6"]].

Trope has been disambiguated. Removing for not fitting any other tropes.


* CloserToEarth: Ranch is more level-headed than Trunks, usually balancing out his brattiness when the trio hangs out. This also means that Ranten is far more pragmatic than Gotenks, not wasting time by showing off and inherently realizing that using Super Saiyan 3 would be a bad idea.

* HeelFaceTurn: The defining point that starts Raditz's turn to good is during the moment where Goku puts him in a full nelson to ensure that Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon finds its mark. Similar to what happens in the first [[VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse Xenoverse game]], he manages break free just before the beam reaches him. However, unlike the game, he's still injured from the hit Gohan gave him and decides to run for it rather than continue to fight.
** In Part 4 of the Future Ranch stories, we find out that Goku argued in Raditz's favor, convincing King Yemma to overlook his villainous past thanks to the efforts he made post-face turn. Unfortunately, Yemma's charity only went so far and he refused to likewise grant clemency to Launch, meaning her spirit was purified and sent to Hell for reincarnation.

* IHaveNoSon: Inverted in the revised Future Trunks timeline, where Gohan ends up cutting ties with Chi-Chi when she protests the idea of him training Trunks and Ranch (then about 8 years old) as fighters; since this is the timeline with the evil versions of Androids 17 and 18 rampaging and most of the Z Warriors dead, holding back potential fighters is downright suicidal.



* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Raditz’s reaction to Vegeta allowing Semi-Perfect Cell to absorb Android 18 for prideful reasons. He later invokes this again when Goku proposes recruiting [[EvilOverlord Frieza]] to fight for Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power, even punching Goku in the head just for ''thinking'' that it was a good idea.
