Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

You're kinda contradicting yourself. You can't say well This crossover is canonical while this crossover isn't. In the same sense you can't say this sequel is a sequel despite not being canonical because it is not canonical it therefore is not a sequel since it never happened thus not geniune to th...

Re: Has Moro Arc Base Goku/Vegeta Surpassed Everyone From DBZ?

Even with Takao Koyama's "fanboyism", both Hirudegarn and Janemba are stronger than Broly, with the latter being the strongest of all movie villains (until being stupidly surpassed by Golden Freeza). Which begs me to question why you didn't mention both or either of them instead of Broly?...

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

After reviewing my mindset, I suppose the answer I was looking for is: is wonder island the start of it all? and in that case, I think I kinda found my answer, thanks for sharing your precious time everyone!

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

Has anyone here heard of the late, great Dwayne McDuffie's Tommy Westphall Grand Unification Theory? This discussion made me think of his essay. I won't reiterate it all here because it's long and there are entire sites dedicated to just how far it reaches, but his conclusion at the end of his essa...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

why is this debate still a thing? Jiren was specifically stated to be above belmod. Actually: https://i.imgur.com/1ygLBc0.jpg "The strongest man in Universe 11, said to have power that exceeds even the Gods of Destruction." So even in the manga Jiren is stronger than all the GoDs and not ...

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

Sequel : A follow-up to the original work that continues the story after the first one ended, in a manner as "big" as the original. GT and Super are this. Prequel : A story that takes place before the original work that explains, elaborates on, or otherwise links up to something the audie...

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

there must be some kernel of the newer property created in the older. that's the issue, conditioning related works to things besides sharing the same world. It's not really an "issue." It's simply what the word means: a radio program, television program, video game, film, or any narrative...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Np, it's just better to spend time in more productive topics! so I was wondering about a strength Formula I developed recently related to the films continuity based on toriyama statements and in-film statements. beerus was stated to have been using about 70% of his power while goku was using 80% as ...

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

I don't think it fits in this case. There is nothing in Dr. Slump that begets Dragon Ball (at least, not as far as I know). You could read the entirety of Dr. Slump and find hide nor hair of anything Dragon Ball-related. Dragon Ball is created entirely independently of Dr. Slump. Later on, they hav...

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

It's important to note that the crossover with Dr. Slump wasn't an instant thing. It wasn't until the middle of the Red Ribbon arc, 81 chapters in and almost two years after the manga began, that the Dr. Slump crossover actually happened. There were of course some references before that (such as Pi...

Re: dbs broly follows anime or manga?

like others have stated already, it's part of the films continuity (what toriyama considers as a continuation to his manga) The anime is TOEI continuity The manga is toyotaro continuity. nothing hard to get. obviously stuff from those two will not appear in it unless it came from it in the first place

is Dr. Slump returns for a little bit canonical?

This work caught my attention as I've just finished reading dr slump recently and stumbled upon this by accident when searching for other dr slump related works. What intrigued me the most is the meeting between GT and dr slump in it. is there any statement regarding its canonicity? https://vignette...

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?

Nah, the word ‘spin-off’ isn’t really appropriate here. You’ll never see anyone describe Dragon Ball Z as a spin-off of Dr. Slump.Dragon Ball and Dr Slump are their own things. Toriyama just thought it would be fun to connect the two. spin off is defined as: ''a by-product or incidental result of a...
