According to a new Dragon Ball Super Theory, that has been going on around the DB fanverse. Android 17 is the father of UUB!
The Theory is based on some stuff shown in Episode 86! In Dragon Ball Super Episode 86, Goku took Dende’s help to locate Android 17, but Dende also mentioned an extremely talented and powerful kid growing up in a Village, and yes he was talking about UUB the reincarnation of Evil Buu.
As you know, Goku hoped that Buu will be reborn as a good guy, and since Goku is kind of a big deal, he doesn’t need Shenron to get his wishes granted. King Yemma heard this, and made it happen.
The argument of this theory is that, we all know the Universe 7 team, also UUB is too young to be in the team anyway. So, why did DBS felt necessary to mention him at this point, even though he is not going to be in the tournament?
Is there a deeper purpose? UUB gets mentioned the same episode Android 17 makes his return. Added to that, for some reason DBS is really hyping up 17, they released a special trailer before his return, and 17 is now unbelievably powerful; to the point of being able to hold his own against Super Saiyan Blue Goku. So, could this be hinting that he’ll have a major role in this series? Could this mean he is the father of the next big thing UUB?
Also, 17’s family out of everything gets mentioned. 17 is now actually married, and has 3 kids, and 2 of them are adopted. He even shows their picture to Goku on his phone, but we the audiences don’t get the view.
Well, guess why?
Because one em is UUB! Either 17 married an exotic girl or adopted UUB from some tribe or maybe found him on some island while ranging. That would explain the origin of UUB.
So, this is how fans who are spreading this theory sees it.
Now, the idea sounds cool, it would be an epic connection if it was indeed the case, but is it logical at all? Is it possible at all?
Obviously it’s not possible; most would say that’s absolutely ridiculous.
Well, as you know DBS is taking place before the last episode of DBZ that took place about after 10 years of the defeat of Buu. In that episode, we did see UUB, and from that we know some basic information about him. He comes from a poor village; his story is much like Naam from Dragon Ball. He was simply fighting for money, but in this episode it is implied doing a superhuman job 17 actually earns a good amount of money. There’s no way his Kid would be in that condition. Also, when he fought it was clear that even though he is talented, he doesn’t know much about advanced fighting stuff, like ki control, and even some basics like flying. You really think that would be the case, if he was 17’s son? Besides, if UUB was indeed 17’s son, Dende would reveal that too.
So, if you consider all these facts it is just not possible.
However, there’s one way it could logically take place, I am not implying it will happen or that it’s likely to happen. Just that if they wanted to do it, they could do it.
That is if they completely overwrite the ending of Dragon Ball Z, to make it much more suitable to DBS. Obviously there was no mention of any DBS stuff in that episode, so they could it make it more DBS appropriate by re-doing it.
In that case, UUB could be shown in whatever ways they want him to show. He could be the son of Mr. Popo if they want him to be. So, in that way they could make him 17’s son, but it’s certain that they will never change the UUB we know off. It’ll totally piss of the fans, especially of this generation is really bitchy, and Dragon Ball wouldn’t want to go through that path. There are games and 99 other materials with the original UUB, so no question of totally changing the character.
So, this was just a wishful theory from the fans, no basis at all.
However, on another note, I do want Dragon Ball Super to overwrite the ending of Dragon Ball Z. To make more sense with what Super is doing, make some adjustments; of course not huge change like totally redefining UUB, but there could be some slight changes like there could be mentions of things that happened in Super. Maybe Beerus and Whis can be there, if DBS wants to continue I sure as hell wouldn’t hope to see Gohan the way he was in last episode, also I would hope Krillin would continue and retain his bald headed classic look. Some adjustments here and there, would make it better?
In regards to why they mentioned UUB, it could be simply because we’ll get the time skip soon or they could even separately show the story of UUB, like where he’s born, what he does with his powers and basic stuff like that before he met Goku and company. That would be interesting to watch.
