"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

[jeffbr92]

This is not right. A lot of the movies cannot coincide with the original manga. GT cannot coincide with Super. An alternative canon created it your head is just that, something in your head

So? Still not like you can forbid a person to consider one and not another.

I'm just saying, why be willfully ignorant of the fact that many toei products contradict the main story.

Super also contradicts the main story and I still consider as part of the canon though some may not.

The main story contradicts itself from time to time, but there is literally no time frame in which Lord Slug, Cooler, Turles, and many of the other villains could have even appeared.

No, but you can consider them stupid for not being able to properly link togheter a non conflicting continuity, and realizing what fits and what doesn't.

When is the next chapter coming out?

When is the next chapter coming out?

It comes out the same time it does every month. Leaks should be coming out in 4 or 5 days though.

It feels like it’s been two months.

Well it hasn't.

Exactly, everyone can have their personal canon, until someday (probably never) Toei/Toriyama declares what really counts to DB official continuity.

Toriyama has done that tho. Only what he claims as DB is what matters. As he is the authority [canon]. He has stated that GT is a "side story" and the movies are "in another dimension" since he was solely an audience member to them plot wise. Finally, Dragonball" is the manga and anime" and Super is a "complete continuation" of Dragonball.

Finally, Dragonball" is the manga and anime"

Are you putting that in quote because of some Toriyama's "claims"? Because if so, I have never seen him saying that "Dragon Ball is the manga and anime".

and Super is a "complete continuation" of Dragonball.

And Dragon Ball Online "takes place after the manga".

And Super is during the DB manga before the final tournament.
And Toriyama stating DB being the anime and manga is from Daizenshuu's 7 "The Anime and Me" from Toriyama.

[Grimlock]

Found it. I don't know what weight those words could possibly have these days. Dragon Ball has certainly grown more than just being "anime and manga".

None of these are official statements, I would like Toei or Toriyama to finally come up with a canon for the series, but it's their choice to keep this way, so I'm fine with it.

These statements were made in official interviews and answered by Toriyama himself about his story.

lol

[TKA]

My statement goes both ways. People are angry when stuff isn't canon, and some people are too eager to go "it's non-canon so who cares?"

Just enjoy Dragonball how you wanna enjoy Dragonball, man. That's why this media franchise is so vast.

They are.

"What is your personal stance on Dragon Ball’s theatrical films, Sensei?
I take the movies as “stories in a different dimension from the main story of the comic”. I’m entirely just an audience member for them."

He has stated that GT is a "side story"

"Side Story" does NOT equals "not canon"

For example: "Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team" is a side story of "Mobile Suit Gundam". It's also 100% canon.

It does in this case, GT literally can't happen, just let it go

Brochacho, I'm all for embracing all forms of Dragonball media, but don't cry foul when people tell you something doesn't work within the timeline of events from the original story.

Again, when I say people get too caught up on what's canon or not, it applies to both sides. If you enjoy the "side stories" what do you care if they're canon or not? Does being non-canon make them worse or diminish them in your eyes?

Just enjoy what you enjoy, my dude.
