History Webcomic / DragonBallReboot

* AdaptationalNiceGirl: ''Reboot'' Bulma comes across as somewhat less of a vain, manipulative SpoiledBrat compared to her canon counterpart at the start of ''Dragon Ball''. This is primarily due to a lot of the scenes from ''Dragon Ball'''s early story that highlighted Bulma's BrattyTeenageDaughter personality being removed as part of the webcomic's AdaptationDistillation.

* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:During the fight against Callion, Bardock personally witnessed Gine briefly enter a pseudo-Super Saiyan form from a TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening that enabled her to overpower Callion using strength he had never seen her show off before. After Callion is finally killed and Bardock's team returns to Planet Vegeta, he decides to withhold the information about Gine's brief SuperMode from King Vegeta out of fear the king will see Gine as a potential threat and try to eliminate her. Considering what is known about Broly's backstory, this paranoia is extremely justified.]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: The unnamed mook who was operating the radar of Frieza's spaceship to search for any survivors following the immediate destruction of Planet Vegeta. By lazily glancing away from his console just when it pinged Gine's escape pod, and then stupidly [[ItsProbablyNothing dismissing it as him just hearing things]] instead of immediately alerting his superiors, he made Gine's survival and journey to Earth possible, kicking off the events of the series.

* AdaptationDistillation: Season 3's retelling of the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' manga's first three chapters is condensed into five pages (technically five and one-third if counting the last two panels from Season 2), largely skimming over events that played out identically to canon and only slowing down with scenes that are exclusive to this fan manga, usually conversations between Gine and Bulma.

* TimeSkip: Season 3 picks up nearly a year after [[spoiler:Grandpa Gohan's death]] during the climax of Season 2.

* ForWantOfANail:
** The key point of divergence from canon happens when Gine finds Bardock just as he's about to go confront Frieza. Bardock warns her about Frieza's plan to eradicate the Saiyan race and begs her to leave Planet Vegeta so that she will survive. Because of this, Gine is able to find an escape pod and makes it off her homeworld mere moments before Frieza blows it up with his Supernova attack.
** The webcomic's InMediasRes shows some long-term consequences of Gine following Goku to Earth. Goku is nowhere to be seen on Namek, Gine is fighting Frieza in Goku's place, Frieza went 100% Full Power earlier than in canon, Krillin hasn't been killed by Frieza, and Planet Namek isn't about to explode.

* PowerStrainBlackout: [[spoiler:After entering her "False Super Saiyan" form for the first and using it to temporarily knock out Callion in a single punch, Gine immediately collapses and briefly loses her consciousness. When she is awoken by Bardock seconds later, she has no memory of her actions while in her SuperMode and assumes Bardock was the one who bested Callion.]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Gine is competing with Fasha to earn a spot on Bardock's team. King Vegeta decides to settle the matter by assigning the two women on a mission with Bardock's team, proclaiming that whichever one performs the best will join the team. The mission is to eradicate the inhabitants of an alien planet so Frieza can mine its minerals. Gine initially appears very gung-ho about the mission and even agrees to a BodyCountCompetition with Fasha. However, upon splitting off from the others and arriving at a city she's assigned to destroy, Gine encounters a terrified family, the sight of which paralyzes her with indecision as she struggles between her moral compass and her desire to join Bardock's team. [[spoiler:Ultimately, she decides to do the right thing, warning the city's inhabitants about the Saiyan invasion and helping them evacuate their planet. Afterwards, she reunites with Bardock's team and lies to them that she succeeded in wiping out the city's inhabitants.]]

* TournamentArc: So far, most of the spin-off centers around a tournament being held on Planet Vegeta to determine which warrior is worthy to join the Saiyan combat teams. Gine participates in hopes of being able to join Bardock's squad after she wins.
