How would things play out on this scenario? Btw, remember Goku and Gohan spend only 21 hours on the Rosat on the original timeline.

They'd probably still spend 21 hours in there, though once they came out, they'd instantly get to where Cell was via Shunkan Ido and Goku would stomp him, though likely not kill him right away. He'd probably fall down the same route as he did against Freeza and tell Cell to leave the Planet, giving Cell enough time to use a Taiyoken and start draining Gohan's energy. He wouldn't drain much before he gets stopped, though seeing the hopelessness, he decides to abandon his plan for perfection and self-destruct. Goku brings Cell to Kaio's as in the main timeline and they die, apart from obviously Cell, who gains a Zenkai and Shunkan Ido.
Meanwhile, #18 would likely come out of cover and even attempt to tell Gohan she's thankful, only to be stopped as a returned Cell wastes no time in absorbing her whilst Gohan has his guard down. Having already absorbed Gohan's energy and gained a Zenkai, this Perfect Cell would likely be on the same level as his Super Perfect self, though with Kuririn there to supply a Senzu and Gohan likely having been made incredibly angry not just at his father's death, but it being in vain, he'd likely go Super Saiyan 2. We get the fight Vegeta denied us as these two even fighters duke it out above the islands; Gohan having superior power, but Cell's array of techniques and better fighting skill making it dead even. Gohan's rage would only build up further as he eventually overpowers Cell and damages him enough he spits out #18. Gohan would then waste no time in killing him and with no explosive left within him, Cell would be forced to accept his death.
Many major plot points go similarly. Trunks and Vegeta enter the Rosat, Vegeta does again with the resolve not only to reach the level Goku was at, but to surpass Gohan and would make even greater gains than in canon due to being more aware of the wall he had to overcome. Piccolo would likely go in just to test his limits in case another threat arrived, though I doubt Trunks would go in again, likely returning to the future after going in once. The wishes to revive Cell's victims and remove #17/18's explosives go as normal and Goku doesn't get revived. There's only two major differences here; #16 is still around to be repaired, likely living at Capsule Corp and receiving upgrades so Vegeta can use him as a sparring partner when he's not bird watching and most crucial of all, there's no Goten. Whilst it's debatable when Goten was conceived, assuming it was during the 9 day waiting period to leave no Goten in this scenario makes for a more drastic change.

This changes a lot for the Boo Arc. Trunks would likely be somewhat weaker due to not having a sparring partner other than his dad, the Mighty Mask event doesn't happen and most importantly of all, there's no Gotenks. As a whole, everything goes the same until Goku goes SS3, at which point he'd make sure to try and kill Boo. I imagine he'd succeed, meaning the Boo Arc ends here, as does any major conflict in the manga. I imagine they'd choose to revive Vegeta 6 months later, though he likely would take longer to develop into who he is in Super and his "You're number one" speech would likely happen when seeing Goku fight Beerus. I'd assume Gohan wouldn't go through the Z-Sword training or become Ultimate, at least not until after the FnF Arc if taking Super into account due to needing a way to become far stronger.

For Super, however, this has the same effect as most scenarios that lead up to "What if Fat Boo was killed?" Beerus likely gets bored after a while and leaves, with Goku asking Shenron about Super Saiyan God happening later and Super proceeds as normal up until the U6 Arc, during which they'd likely have no choice but to enlist Trunks as the 5th fighter, only for him to be oneshotted by whomever he faces. The Future Trunks Arc goes as normal, other than Goku and Vegeta not learning about Potara until Gowasu tells them. For the Universal Survival Arc, however, it means that Piccolo likely takes Boo's place and oneshots Basil. Gohan having gone Ultimate far later also means he likely wouldn't have lost it's power yet, meaning he'd have more time to improve his power with Piccolo and likely end up stronger than his current self, likely a good deal above SSB Goku. This also means having Freeza be the 10th fighter happens earlier as there's no attempts to wake Boo up and nobody really has any other choice. How this affects the Tournament of Power depends on what kind of role we see Gohan play within it.

Seeing Goku and Gohan as MSSJ, Vegeta realizes the correct route of training,
so, when he goes in the room, he abandons grade forms as well. However, he
still ends up weaker than Goku, because he trains without rest.
Meanwhile, Goku stomps Cell. Cell tries to trick Goku the same way he did
with Vegeta in the series. Even though Goku wants to fight Perfect Cell,
he does not let him absorb Eighteen for moral reasons. From that point on,
it's hard to decide what happens. There are so many possibilities.
-Case 1: Having learnt his lesson after Freeza (remember that, in the series,
he didn't want Gohan to spare Cell), Goku kills Cell. 7 years later, they either
defeat Dabura or get defeated by Buu.
-Case 2: Cell tries to selfdestruct. Captain Cadaver described this case.
-Case 3: Goku gives Cell a chance to leave. Cell decides to retreat for the
time being and leaves Earth. He wanders other planets, absorbing stuff
till he surpasses Goku. Or maybe he trains (it'd be fun to see what he'd be
like after his own ''4 months of training''). On the other hand, maybe there
is a cap in Semi Cell's power he cannot break unless he absorbs Eighteen,
no matter how much life force he absorbs (i guess that explanation makes
the most sense). If that's true and Semi Cell realizes it, what does he do?
Does he go back to Earth to selfdestruct just for the fuck of it? Does he
forget about perfection and settles at some other planet? Does he overtake
Freeza's empire?

Since Cell needs #18 to reach his perfection, Goku wouldn't allow it and there's no hope for Cell other than self destruct with but Goku will take him to King Kai's planet and will probably save King Kai and Bubbles. Then Vegeta will be pissed off that Cell is dead but now will have to challenge Goku but ultimately loses.

@CC @Fearless: Wouldn't Goku and Gohan leaving earlier change things? Couldn't they could arrive before Cell absorbed 17, or when Tenshinhan was raping Cell? And wouldn't Goku let Gohan fight, since he will be the defender of earth one day?

@Withheld: I think on the 3rd scenario things would play out like the 2nd. Cell's life is to be perfect, i'm pretty sure he would kill himself if he couldn't reach perfection.

I forgot that they leaved earlier than expected. I don't think they can make enough pre Semi Cell though but that's just me. Goku knew that he can't beat Cell and only Gohan can hence why he chose Gohan to fight Cell. But in this case, both of them can wipe out Semi Cell therefore Goku will just finish Cell off IMO.

That's a good point. However, it's hard to really determine the time lapse at this point of the series since 24 hours seemed to pass by like nothing, making it hard to judge when exactly the 21 hour mark would hit in terms of Cell's antics. For the purposes of a more compelling, yet still reasonable story, I decided to place it after Cell absorbed #17, maybe even directly after so.
I highly doubt Goku would get Gohan to fight just for that, since Gohan's personality would make him not want to fight unless there was no other choice.

So... How much do you think this would affect the plot? For both anime and manga.

Anime-wise, it wouldn't affect things at all due to Gohan still not being able to match Jiren or Hakaishin Toppo. Perhaps he could defeat Dyspo without sacrificing himself, but he'd be beaten shortly after.

Manga-wise, he's able to defeat Kefla and stay in the game, though would quickly become the primary target for Jiren when things come down to U7 VS U11 and be quickly defeated. If he manages to last long enough for Vegeta to go SSBE and Jiren to turn his attention to him, Gohan would end up adapting to Jiren and possibly manage to defeat him after Jiren had become fatigued from fighting MUI Goku.
