What if Son Goku landed in Avatar world instead? Which nation would he land in? Would he still retain his Saiyan programming? Would his natural kid control allow him to learn bending?

He'd be wholly broken.
Earth Kingdom is most likely given that it's based on China the most and has the most landmass
It depends on whether or not he hits his head.
Probably not, thanks to those bullshit retcons of what makes a bender that Korra did.

Eh lets say airbender. The air scooter is a nice enough analogue for the nimbus

Worshiped as a god.

Natural ki*

Goku couldn't use ki until he mimicked Roshi. Without that and if we use the old explanation that people can learn to bend with enough work and study i can see Goku learning the elements fast through brute force and maybe embuing each attack inadvertently with ki giving him an extra punch. Like exploding rocks and air blasts that can dent processed metal plates

Assuming he retains his ki powers, he is considered an air bender among everyone. However he never really advances beyond DB levels due to nobody to really push him to the limit over and over again.

I could see ki being interchangeable with some variant of 'pure' spirit bending, in which case he'd definitely make waves in the setting either way.

energy, not air.

>Probably not, thanks to those bullshit retcons of what makes a bender that Korra did.
all changes to the lore of spirits and the spirit world were shit.

As the photo suggests, Fire nation. The idea that he landed a couple hundred years before aang and starts a micro culture of incredibly powerful, incredibly violent warrior people. The part of the archipelago that the more civilized fire empire avoids, the unconquered ones.

Hell, that's a good explanation for where the forehead eye explosive ability came from.

Maybe goku fell near an air temple, and was raised by a monk. The monk, realising the boys power and violent tendencies, and fearing that the monk council would cast the not out, absconded with the young monkey alien. They sail west, and start a new monastery more focused on honing the body, not connection to the spirit world. They'd just beat the shit out of each other, and slowly attract people who also wish to test themselves.

This would be a sad life for Goku, since no-one would ever really be able to challenge his powers. His only solace would be in teaching others to be strong, to believe in themselves and to test themselves. But in the back of his mind, he'd always wonder what he could have been.

He won't learn bending, he is not a bender, but how far his abilities progress will depend on where he lands and if he hits his head.

If he does not hit his head then he is killed in the fire nation and earth nation and possibly by the water tribes. The air nomads would take him in like Gohan did. In this case he could learn restraint and he would learn to use his ki, his physical strength might be lower.

If he hits his head and loses his sayian rage like in the original series he would survive. In the earth kingdom he would become strong, be laking in ki control, and ultimatly join the military. I think his potential for ki control and strength is equal in both the fire nation and water tribes. In the fire nation he joins the military, in the water tribe he becomes a warrior. If he is found by air nomads he will have the most potential for ki control. He will live a life of peace for a while, but when the 100 year war starts he would go fight against the fire nation due to his saiyan instincts.

he woulda learned it eventually like all other saiyans who are sent to destroy plenets
esp in a culture that teaches harnessing in chi

What if Dragonball fans stopped having shit taste and making versus threads

What if Chadhan was born in the how to train your dragon world? how easy he could defeat the dragon hunters? he could become the new leader of Berk? he could cuck Hipo with Astrid?

This isn't a versus thread. If the question was if goku would defeat the avatar you would have a point.

Earth kingdom, it's the largest so he'd most likely end up there
He wouldn't be able to bend because bending power is apparently spiritual

He'd be the most powerful being on the planet though. A fully realized Avatar woudln't do shit against a super Saiyan

He would never reach super sayain levels of strength in the Avatar universe. He would train until he was stronger than the avatar, which is maybe about where Goku was after his last fight with Piccolo. Having said that Goku would probaly have just gone ape form as a kid then he would have been killed by the avatar.

Mostly this. He's such a stupid broken fucking character he could probably bend every element regardless of being an alien.

Goku's knack for learning shit is turned up to 10 at all times. Sure, he'll fail the first time, but within a few chapters he'll have it down just fine. Just so long as the stuff he learns pertains to fighting

so okay, are we talking Sayians in the Avatar universe or if Goku's ship reality slipped into the Avatar universe midcourse on it's way to earth? Because if the former, I think the way ki works and how sayians function should be redefined to make more sense in the established Avatar universe and even then, I'd rather just focus on DB rules since there's nothing like Radditz level Goku would have to deal with to get that insanely strong
If anything, the rule of getting beaten down and getting stronger that was part of Dragon Ball does work in Avatar since so much of Avatar is based on martial arts and a lot of martial arts is getting stronger by breaking your bones little by little in training like in kickboxing
