Hello everyone! Minitennyson here with a What If AU story for DBZ known as "Son Goku The Berserker"(no relationship with the fic Son Gohan The Destroyer).

Also, you guys may be curious why I decided to come back instead of writing that novel like a promised, but I thought I may need to do a normsl fanfic first before I try my hand on

I originally wanted to write a Ben 10 X Devilman Crybaby merger AU, but after further insight and thought put into it, havimg Ben be around there would basically render the canon ending nule if I were to write it, so yeah...I gave up on the idea quickly. Sigh...one week of my life gone on thinking of an idea that went nowhere.

If y'all are wandering what will happen to my other fics like Invincible Omnitrix or Edens Ten...well, you all know that Edens Zero is cancelled and that Invincible Omnitrix is on indefinite hiatus.

This is the first non-crossover and non-Ben 10 fic I did ever on , through please do read the ne

Moving on...let me talk to you what this AU What If will be about, through if you read this fic's description you probably know what it is about but still...

Son Goku The Berserk is an original What If idea developed by me in which I will explore one of the more interesting questions...

What if Goku was the Legendary Super Saiyan...?

In this story, I will readapt the events of Z up to even the events of GT, where I will show you guys what changes would occur with this small difference.

This Goku will have his ability be a combination of all versions of the Legendary Super Saiyan. Goku will have Ikari, A-Grade, B-Grade, Berserk and Rampanging forms, and the other normal SSJs from canonjust with some Legendary features added in. Goku will have almost the same personality in canon but he is just more agressive and violent when in B-Grade form.

Some common questions you may have:

Q: What is this AU about?

A: As I stated before, this AU is what if Goku transformed into the Legendary SSJ instead of the regular SSJ in the Frieza Saga.

Q: Who are the main characters? Are they still the canon Z-Fighters?

A: Yeah, everyone is still here and maybe more.

Q: Does this AU happen in Universe 7?

A: Yes and no. Mainly no, because I'm at the time torn between this being Universe 6, 7 or even another universe. I will just ler you guys be the judges of which one I will have rhe story take place in.

Q: Will older characters like Oolong or Launch have a bigger role than in canon?

A: The answer is yes. Oolong, Launch, Turtle, Yamcha, Puar, Tien Shinhan and Paozu will have a more bigger role in this story than in canon.

Q: How old is Goku in this AU?

A: Goku will be older, probably the same age of Vegeta and Broly seeing how he'll have to be borm in 732 instead of 737 in order for this AU to even work. So thinking he's like 30 in canon, he will be 35-years old in this AU

Q: How much will you adapt for this AU?

A:I will adapt the arcs of Z, Super and GT, I won't adapt all of them, but I will adapt from the Frieza Saga to Buu Saga, from Battle of The Gods to Tournament of Power, and form Black Star Dragon Balls to the Dark Dragons.

Q: Will Goku be OP?

A: He will be a little OP but I will have the other Dragon Ball villains still be more powerful than Goku.

Q: Will there be original events or characters in this AU?

A: Yeah, there will be original events, arcs and even characters in this fic to a certain degree

Q: What other changes are in this AU?

A: Broly was never exiled. Bardock died. Gohan and Goten will have Legendary Super Saiyan blood like Goku.

Q: Are there any content warnings I should know before reading?

A: Yes there are. The current warning for Son Goku The Berserk are:

Spoiler warning: Spoilers for the entire Dragon Ball series, if you haven't read/watch any of the series, beware spoilers. Major spoilers for Z, Super and GT.

I do not own Dragon Ball or its characters, I just own this story and the brand belongs to Shueisha, Toei Animation and Akira Toriyama. The original events and characters are the only things that belong to me. Please don't sue me Toei Animation or Shueisha, this is just a fanfic.

Warning: This story is rated T for bloody violence, light gore, swearing and nudity. If you watched Dragon Ball Z, expect that level of violence here, this is no Dragon Ball Super here.

Other questions:

Q: Is this legit?

A: No, of course it's not. If it would be legit I wouldn't

Q: Do you have Akira Toriyama's permission to do this?

A: No, but this is just a fanfic and I'm not making money off of it.

Q: Who writes this?

A: Me, MiniTennyson.

Q: What does this fic retain from canon?

A: Most events, villains and characters from DBZ are still present.

Q: Were you inspired by MasakoX or other DBZ What If Youtuber?

A: Yeah, MasakoX mainly.

Q: How often will you update this fic?

A: Ideally I'd wish to write a chapter once two weeks or once a month but don't expect me to remain consistent and I may have an erratic release schedule or not have one set, meaning I will post chapters when they are ready.

Q: Will this involve shipping?

A: No. Most canon ships will stay. Through depending if this will happen in Universe 6 or 7, I could have Gohan end up with Kale or Caulifla instead of Videl, but other than that...not really.

Q: Will this have a Tumblr AskBlog?

A: Yeah, this AU while have an Tumblr AskBlog if this fic gets enough traction.

Anyways, enough of me rattling and talking, I know you all just want to read what this whole thing is...so if you stuck with me for this entire preface...please continue reading on with the prologue.
