In the endless void of space — a place where nothing exists — two voices echoed.
To keep things simple, let's call them One and Two.
As the silence of the void stretched on, One spoke first.
"Tell me, what if Raditz had been born a woman instead of a man? Would her life have been any different? And how would that change the Dragon Ball timeline as a whole?"
Two replied in a calm, dismissive tone.
"Even if Raditz were female, nothing would change. She's an insignificant character — appeared one day, died the next. All she did was warn Goku that Vegeta and Nappa were coming, and they were far stronger than she ever was."
One chuckled.
"You might think that, but consider this: as the last living female Saiyan, Raditz's value to Vegeta would be vastly different. His treatment of her might change as well. Oh, he'd still be an arrogant ass — but not as cruel as he was to the male Raditz."
Two scoffed.
Perhaps her worth to Vegeta would increase, but strength still decides everything. Raditz was never powerful, and that won't change, no matter the gender."
Laughter boomed across the void — One's laughter — sending shockwaves rippling through the nothingness.
"You want to bet on that?"
Two sighed.
"Even if you're bored, you'd have to get permission from the Grand Zeno himself to make that kind of project possible."
One's laughter grew louder, shaking the empty void.
"Already did. To my surprise, Zeno smiled and approved my request."
A long pause followed before One continued.
"So, will you wager with me? Let's see whether this small change — a female Raditz — will truly affect the future as much as I believe… or if everything will play out the same, as insignificant as before."
Two went silent for a moment, then asked,
"If I win, what do I get?"
One smirked.
"Do you really need a prize? Let's just bet for the fun of it. Either my theory proves true, or this becomes another forgotten possibility — a potential that never leads anywhere."
Two chuckled softly.
"Fine. If Raditz dies the same way she did in the original timeline, I'll call you a loser for the next hundred years. Deal?"
One laughed heartily.
"Deal. But prepare yourself — when I win, you'll be the one known as 'Loser.'"
Two smirked, slightly unsettled but intrigued.
"We'll see. Let's watch how this reality unfolds."
And with that, the void fell silent once more —
but somewhere in the infinite branches of existence, a new universe began to stir.
