Age Confirmation

About Sunset in DBZ. I think the question was more, if she was a DBZ Character, not if the human world connected to MLP was DBZ. Tho I have some stuff to say regardless. If she went down the path of combat and at the time she got in the DBZ world and tried magic, Ki control came to her instead and so had a basis in it from the get go. How strong do you think she would become if she helped Goku against Vegeta and Nappa and the rest of the story is somewhat the same but with Sunset as a fighter?

Also if she has her own transformation like turning into a semi pony form like when they pony up or the second one like against Sci-Twi, how good do you think she would fair with the rest?

If Sunset was just born in the DBZ world, then she’s just born in the DBZ world and she has as much of a chance of becoming powerful as any other human in the show does. 

In order for Sunset to become what you see in the show, she needs to be a Unicorn in Canterlot with magical potential enough to become Celestia’s pupil and get that to grow.  If you take away magic and horses she’s a girl with drive and brains, and in a non-pony world she’d probably just end up being a regular, successful person. The max would probably be around Krillin or Tien if she decided to actually get into fighting.

Okay the second part. If Sunset ended up in the DBZ world and found that her magical ability translated into ki reserves and control? Then welp. 

Since Sunset was Celestia’s pupil, we can assume that she was probably trying to groom her to become the bearer of the Element of Magic. If this is the case, then it’s not a huge leap to place her on Twilight’s level, at least around before Twi became an Alicorn. So not like, Magical WMD status, but probably packing some serious fucking kick.

It’d be interesting to see her in the fight with Nappa and Vegeta. Since she’s in a new body, she’d probably have a hard time actually fighting with her fists, but there’s a good chance that she could sit back and toss beams around like fucking nothing. The strategy for Z-Fighters before Goku shows up might be along the lines of keeping Nappa busy and moving him into position so Sunset can hammer him down. Senzu beans would help with this.

There’s a chance that when Goku shows up, there’s more people alive and way more fresh to deal with the two, if only because there’s someone in the back chucking lasers at Nappa and keeping Saibamen off of everyone else. The rest of the fight probably goes a LOT more smoothly. Nappa would probably still die because of Vegeta, and Vegeta would probably still get away because of Goku, but there’s a better chance that everyone lives.

The aftermath to this is that Piccolo has a chance to survive, which means that nobody has to go to Namek, which means that Goku doesn’t go Super Saiyan and Frieza has the potential to get his wish for immortality without anyone stopping him.

Which kinda sucks.

I’m not sure how TRANSFORMATION would work with Sunset, since all of those in the movies just amount to PLOT BEAMS that do whatever they need to do and end up mainly being weaponized friendship, but at least Daydream Shimmer would be a cool look.
