Adapting would also depend on their mental flexibility. Bardock, being a strong - willed Saiyan, may have some resistance at first. But as they experience more of the future, they would gradually change. They would have to accept new ideas about power, honor, and purpose. For example, if in the future honor is not measured by battles won but by contributions to society, it would be a big shift for them.
They would first have to learn about the new technology. For instance, if there are advanced ships or weapons, they need to figure out how to operate them. This could involve a lot of trial and error.
They would face the challenge of adapting to Earth's environment. The gravity, atmosphere, and climate are different from what they are used to on their home planet. For example, if the Saiyan planet has a different gravitational pull, they might find it difficult to move around easily on Earth at first.
They might encounter powerful new enemies. In the future, there could be villains far stronger than what they faced in their own time. Maybe they come across new forms of energy or technology that they don't understand at first. This could lead to a lot of confusion and also a chance for them to learn and adapt.
One possibility is that they would be amazed by the diverse life forms on Earth. Bardock, being a Saiyan, might initially view Earthlings as weak. But his crew could discover the hidden strength in humans, like their willpower. They might also get involved in some of Earth's battles, perhaps even against pre - Saiyan arrival threats on Earth.
Anakin might use his combat skills to survive. Padme could use her diplomatic skills to communicate with the future people. They would first have to learn about the new technology and customs.
He might adapt slowly. At first, he'd be confused by the new technology, but he could learn quickly due to his survival skills.
He could meet his descendants like Goku or Vegeta. It would be an interesting encounter as they have different upbringings and personalities compared to Bardock.
If Bardock arrives on Namek in the fanfic, it could also change the fate of the Dragon Balls. Instead of being just a tool for Frieza or the Z - fighters to use, Bardock could have a different vision for them. He might see them as a way to not only save Namek but also to restore the Saiyan race. This would open up a whole new set of plotlines and possibilities, as his motives would be different from the other characters who have interacted with the Dragon Balls in the original story.
The crew would first have to adapt to the different time's technology or lack thereof. In the past, they might find simple things like navigation more difficult as they are used to GPS. They would need to learn old - fashioned methods.
In a 'Naruto travel to the future fanfiction', Naruto would adapt through his strong sense of curiosity. He would be eager to explore every new thing he sees in the future. His resilience would also play a big role. If he encounters difficulties, like not understanding how a particular future - tech works, he won't give up. Instead, he'll keep trying until he figures it out. And his ninja training gives him discipline. He would use this discipline to study the new ways of life in the future, from the social norms to the technological advancements.
The marauders would probably have to adapt their way of thinking. In the future, the concepts of right and wrong, good and bad might have shifted. They'd need to understand these new perspectives to fit in.
