Universe 9


Universe 9: Powerful Earthlings

Universe 9 (第9宇宙, Dai kyū uchū) is the designation given by the Vargas of Universe 1 to the universe in which the strongest fighters are all Humans. In this universe, Goku never arrived to Earth. It is clear that in this universe Kulilin succeeded Kamesennin as the Turtle Hermit and seems to be serving as mentor to Yamcha and Tien.

Divergence[]

In this universe, Coola took notice of Kakarotto, an infant Saiyan in a space pod being sent to Earth, and Coola gave the order to intercept its course. This causes Freeza to become enraged, who enters Coola's ship and proceeds to threaten him, causing his brother to smack him in the face. When Freeza recovers from the blow, he threatens to inform their father of their dispute, leading Coola to impale his younger brother with a Death Beam to his forehead, killing him.

Kulilin has become the new Turtle Hermit and does not recognize Universe 18's Son Goku as anything but another bloodthirsty Saiyan. More specifically, in the novel it is highly suggested that the main element of divergence is the fact that Son Goku was never sent to Earth. Tien and Kulilin got to know each other because Tien trained under Son Gohan, and Son Gohan introduced Tien to Kamesennin because he was a disciple of Kamesennin himself. The group does seem to recognize Vegeta, Coola (who took a more active role against his group than Freeza in Universe 9), and Babidi. At some point Yamcha was augmented into a cyborg by Dr. Gero and given the designation Artificial Human #17. He was likely selected instead of Lapis and Lazuli who became Artificial Humans #17 & #18 in the standard Dragon Ball timeline. Dr. Gero's motivation for creating the Artificial Humans in Universe 9 is currently unknown as Son Goku never arrived on Earth to destroy the Red Ribbon Army, and never engaged in any of the adventures of his Universe 18 counterpart. It is also unknown if #18 exists in this Universe or if it was solely Yamcha who was converted into an Android by Gero. As such it is unknown who (if anyone) destroyed the Red Ribbon Army, fueling Gero's desire for revenge. However, it is likely that Kulilin led the hero group in Universe 9, much like Goku did in Universe 18. It was confirmed in the novel, that Tien and Kulilin died at some point during the course of events, being able to train under King Kaio and getting to learn the Kaioken.

However, an official DBM poster shows that they fought Mercenary Tao, King Piccolo, Vegeta, Coola, Sauza, Babibi and Dabra. Chiaotzu is also on the poster.

Timeline[]

  • Age 737 - Kakarotto is born, Planet Vegeta is destroyed by Freeza and Coola intercepts the course of Kakarotto's space pod as it heads to Earth. Freeza is later killed by Coola after a dispute.
  • Age 749 - Bulma travels to Mount Paozu for the 4-Star Dragon Ball. She meets Son Gohan and he accompanies her as they search for all seven. They meet and befriend many future allies: Kamesennin, Ox-King, Oolong, Puar, and Yamcha. They easily defeat Monster Carrot and Emperor Pilaf and have their first wish granted by Shenron.
  • Age 794 - The Vargas found this universe and invite the Earthlings to the Multiverse Tournament. Kulilin, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Yamcha and Videl enter the tournament as contestants. Trunks and Bulma accompany them as spectators.

Competitors[]

  • Kulilin - In Universe 9, Kulilin is the Turtle Hermit. It is possible that he was Kamesennin's only disciple since Son Goku never arrived on Earth in Universe 9. In his first round, Kulilin soundly defeated Sauza of Universe 8 in the first round, winning the fight by slicing him in two with a Kienzan. Kulilin fought against Tapion of Universe 3 in the second round, and narrowly lost due to Hildegan hitting him from behind.
  • Yamcha - This Yamcha is the "Android 17" of his universe through unidentified means, though he was a martial artist for a short time beforehand. He tries to appeal to a version of Android 18 that became a mass murderer and seems to break through to her after surrendering in their battle. Implied through Tien's reaction to Yamcha's loss, Yamcha competed in various tournaments similar to his original counterpart. He is married to Bulma and had a son named Trunks and a daughter named Bra.
  • Tien - Little is known about Universe 9's Tenshinhan other than the fact that he seems close to Kulilin and Yamcha, and that he is among the strongest fighters of Universe 9. He defeated Sun Wukong of Universe 2 in the first round. He fought against Majin Buu of Universe 4 in the second round, and forfeited after his Mafuba (Evil Containment Wave) and Nibai Kikoho (Neo Tri-Beam) failed to defeat him.
  • Videl - Little is known about her. She fought "King Cold" from Universe 8 in her first round but she gave up after seeing him transform into his final form. Knows Kaioken. She is dating Yamcha's son, Trunks and the two have a child. Later with help she fought and killed a Majin Cell Jr.
