In this timeline, Goku has the Four Star in his pocket rather than under his shirt. As such, Taopaipai's Dodonpa kills him. That said, how will things fare? Obviously, it makes the plot just a ticking time bomb for Raditz arriving and conquering Earth for Freeza, but what events would you believe could transpire in that time? We can assume Red would get the Dragon Balls, but would he make his wish for height or would Black kill him before he could? Would the main cast get time to prepare and train to face the army? And what role would the Tsuru Sennin school play in the story?

Tambourine would handle that shit soon enough.

I doubt Pilaf would get an opportunity to release Daimao in this scenario. He wouldn't have the incentive to search for him with Goku not in the way and the RRA would likely either take him out or offer him some recognition for his weaponry in less than the 3 years it took him to find the Denshi Jar.

Unless Tambourine births himself into existence through maximum Chadness. :troll

He stays as over-confident as always and becomes a handful to deal with so they (RRA) use the Battle-Jacket to kill him.

Taopaipai? I doubt it, since he only stays around as long as need be and doesn't seem like the type who'd be negatively effected by the RRA's expansion. Tao would probably keep doing his job for others unless the Red Ribbon's conquest was fulfilled entirely, at which point he'd likely not need to take jobs and only fight to keep his skills sharpened. I don't see Red or Black needing to take him out for any reason beyond mindless paranoia.

Then Tenshithands has the maximum shoulder GAINZ he did from the Saiyan arc and onward by the 22nd as he has two masters instead of one :panties

His attitude did get Commander Red hot at him over the phone. :king :king :king

Would he ascend to his prophecised form of Super Shoulder People to kill Freeza? :brother

Still seems like Red would be jumping the shark to do that, seeing as how Tao obviously had no interest in usurping his power or staying around longer than necessary. That, and regardless of what happens, I see Red's death as too inevitable for him to order Tao dead before Black snuffs him out. Either he makes his wish and Black kills him, or mentions it beforehand and Black wishes for dominion over the world after killing him. I doubt Black would feel a need to get rid of Taopaipai considering he was reasonable enough to even attempt negotiating with Galu of all people.

Yep, and complete with 100 corporeal arms instead of the lameassed illusions Galu/Chappa/Tambourine used :king

Depends on how you think the others would have reacted. It seems that
the only reason they decided to confront RRA was to save Goku; without
that motive, they'd have been too scared to attack. Also, Roshi stated
he was not sure he had the stamina to win against all of them (obviously
referring to his buffed form's drawbakcs, considering he'd need his buffed
form to take Black or Taopaipai). So, there are three cases...

1. Goku's crew is too scared to attack
RRA takes over the world. When Red uses the wish to get tall, Black gets
angry at him and kills him, so RRA continues under Black's leadership.
Taopaipai continues his career as an assassin. Tenshinhan eventually
gains the power required to free the world, but it's not known whether he
ignores RRA and becomes an assassin or whether he somehow sees the
light, realizing he's not cut out to killing. In the second case, he frees
the world and becomes a hero.
I think Pilaf's gang releases Piccolo anyway, because they wanted to take
over the world regardless of Goku's existence. Considering the flow of
events is different this time, maybe either Roshi or Tenshinhan manage
to seal him (either Roshi doesn't miss or Tenshinhan's jar doesn't break).
When Raditz arrives, he eliminates all life on the planet.

2. Goku's crew attack, but they lose
Same case as above, except Piccolo's plans are more likely to succeed,
considering Roshi won't be there to try to stop him.

3. Goku's crew attack and win
They use the dragonballs to revive Goku. 1 year later, Goku gathers the
dragonballs again to revive Upa's father. At that point, maybe he learns
about Korin's tower, so he does the same training and 22nd TB events
procceed as we know. If he doesn't train with Korin, at 22nd TB, he's a
lot weaker than in canon and gets defeated by Ten in the final. At that
point, Ten will either realize he doesn't want to be an assassin or procceed
to kill Goku.
If he kills Goku, Piccolo takes over the world until Raditz eliminates all life
on the planet. If he doesn't kill Goku, tough to say. There are still many
points Goku might die: Against Yadjirobe (assuming it wasn't just a gag
fight and Yadjirobe was going for the kill), against Tambourine, against
Old Piccolo.
If Goku somehow survives all that, it depends on how Holy Water works.
If you view it as a multiplier, Goku ends up weaker than Young Piccolo and
loses. If it's a potential unlock, then, after drinking it, Goku ends up as
strong as in canon, so the events after that proceed as in the series.
