The thing is if AF did come out with Super Saiyan 5 that would make GT canon.

It would make GT canon to AF, at least.

You know I've had some problems with trying to convince my friends and other people back here in South Africa since 2005 that Dragon Ball AF was a prank.

Last year was the last time I had to convince a bunch of people at college that it wasn't a real Dragon Ball series.

But I succeeded in convincing them it wasn't real, and from there the truth spread once more. My closest friends also spread the revelation across our network of friends and their friends.

The reason as to why a lot of my fellow countrymen had been believing the AF series to be real for so long can branch out to become many reasons. Although I could explain as too why it probably spread about as it did, will lead to race sadly. everything in our country eventually leads to race, but anyway.

I cant believe how much time has gone by since AF first came about. . .wow . . .The time I had heard about it proper was indeed in 2005, around the time Dragon Ball GT's first locale airing was coming to a close.

The reason for the DBAF rumour spreading in South Africa is to do with race?! Please explain, very intriguing!

I think he's saying that it will be attributed to race whether it has anything to do with race or not, since race politics are so overused in his country.

The videos seem to be deleted, any place to find them?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Its amazing how big this prank has gotten. I remember when GT first came to Australia there was this kids magazine called K-Zone that had a article on GT and I remember it mentioning AF and how it wasn't a real DB series. 4-5 years latter when I got into DB I was expecting AF to be something that was completely forgotten, only to find that there were people who still believe that it is actual series.

Wow, what was this year's prank, though? Was it about how many went to watch battle of gods at the cinema?

Since some people still believe in DBAF after all these years, you could say that the prank is enough to satiate the need for April fools jokes for a much longer time.
I mean, if you think about it, people are fooled by it pretty much every day since it was presented.
That's over 3000 days where at least one person has been fooled.
So, in a sense, you have enough people fooled for another 3000 April Fools days.
Tell me someone else who has made such a long lived prank!

Is it possible to get the fake AF video back on the feature page? Was reminiscing and checked out the AF recap, and would love to see the video again.

I haven't people talk about AF since 2005. Next year will be the 10th anniversary of this prank.

I know I'm bringing up a dead thread here, but I've been wondering, does anyone still have access to the original prank video? I know it's been deleted on YouTube, but someone must have had saved it somewhere.
