The timelines from the Goku Black arc

Post by Lord Toribot » Sun Jul 23, 2017 6:41 pm

I have made a diagram about áll the new timeles that were created in the Goku Black or 'Future Trunks' Arc of Dragon Ball Super, in both the anime and the manga. What do you guys think about it. I conclude that in the anime eight new timelines were created, and in the manga nine.

I am curious about the ideas of others, and some feedback on my diagram.

Didn't Toei make an official one?

Shouldn't it be six timelines? From the oldest to the most recent:

1) The one where Cell comes from, after he killed Trunks.
2) The one where the Trunks killed by Cell went to warn the Z fighters and where they killed the androids with the remote.
3) The one were "our" Future Trunks is from, now erased by Zen'o-Sama.
4) The timeline we know UNTIL Zamasu stole Goku's body and killed his family.
5) Our current one, created by Trunks (from Timeline #3), where Beerus erased Zamasu.
6) The one created by Whis, where Trunks and Mai live now.

Considering that Timeline #3 has been erased, currently there should be five of them.

You have too many unless you are counting the manga set as different to the show set.

There are six

U12 Guy
Cell
Trunks/Double Trunks (Trunks is destroyed and Whis creates him a new double Trunks timeline keeping the total at 6)
Unseen
Black
Main timeline.

That's how many timelines the rings canonically show.

Xenoverse has more if you are into that but they wouldn't be created till later so their rings wouldn't be there yet.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

You list the three time travel rules that Qaaman uses in his theory. It might be helpful if you list the new rules that your theory is built upon. For instance: when a god kills a god, a copy of each timeline is created (according to your theory).

If you state all the rules with which your theory operates, we can follow the development of the timeline-complex event by event.

As far I know there are currently six timelines:

1) Main timeline
2) Unaltered main timeline, where Zamasu stole Goku's body.
3) Future Trunks timeline, that was erased by Zeno but was replaced with a new timeline sugested by Whis.
4) Cell timeline
5) U12 timeline
6) Unseen timeline, where Cell never came to interfere.
