DBZ Universe Map?

[FoolsGil]

We have a world map, but for the life of me I can never find a map of the DBZ universe: All the planets in manga and anime, and what quadrant of the universe they are in.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

That's because an official one doesn't exist. The closest thing we get is the Cosmos Map in the Daizenshu that shows Earth as being in the North Quadrant and Namek, as well as Vegeta, being in an adjacent one, though its not specified which.

Here's the cosmos map for the record.



Herms posted some good logic in his Guide to the DB Galaxy thread:

If Planet Namek isn’t located in the North Galaxy, where is it? The maps of the DB world that have planets labeled always show Earth and Namek as being on opposite sides of one of the galaxy-dividing lines etched into the macrocosm’s side, so going by that Namek would be in either the East or West Galaxy, but we can’t tell which from the map’s side-perspective. However, the Elder Kaioshin says that he warned the Namekians about using the dragonballs, and since he’s supposed to be the East Kaioshin of 15 generations ago, it would be logical for Namek to therefore be in his region. So overall I think the best guess is that Namek is located in the East Galaxy. The map of the DB world also shows Planet Vegeta and Planet Freeza No.79 as being with Namek on the other side of the galaxy-dividing line, so they’d probably be there as well.

Yeah, I found that one map. I was thinking of something more as an 2D overhead and just the mortal plane like the map of Dragonball Earth. Namek in the East Galaxy? That's a surprise, and explains the difficulties of getting Krillin's soul back to the check in station once he died.

I'm not a great artist but I think I can make an overhead DBZ universe Map. I would just need to find out which planet is in which galaxy (or nebula, as Herms wrote.) Going to the DBZ Wiki I copied/pasted the list of planets except for the demon realm and the Kai Worlds. Planets existing in GT and in the anime don't really contradict anything by existing,(for example, even if Vegeta and Nappa never went to Arlia in the manga, there is nothing saying Arlia doesn't exist in the manga) so I added them as well

I've been making one as part of my fan project over on deviantart (still a WIP though). I can promise most people wouldn't agree on placements, and I've made some changes too, so it wouldn't really be applicable here.

[TheMightyOzaru]

I haven't even heard of most of these planets....

A lot of them are from movie supplemental information. For example, I believe that the Cooler Planets come from that same place that gave the power levels for Cooler's henchmen. And a lot are from GT.

Recently, I've began wondering where the bug planet is. You know the one, it's where Nappa and Vegeta are hanging out during the fight with Raditz. It takes them a year to get to Earth from the bug planet, in a spaceship that's capable of making the 4400 year-by-rocket journey to Namek in six days.

Yeah I found your maps on DA. I'm surprised anyone would complain. There's no one else trying to figure out where the planets are after all.
