You mean specifically forty years? If so, we have bigger problems: AGE 781 - 40 = AGE 741.DiscountDabi wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 10:55 pmI’m thinking its 40 years for one reason. If it was 50 years, based on what we know Granola would have been an Infant and couldn’t have remembered his people.
Maki mentioned how Cerealians live for like 200 years, and Granolah Confirms and says he sacrificed his remaining 150 years of his life with three years to spare. Meaning he’s 47 years old. If it was 50 years ago he would have been 3 years old. He could not have remembered it that as well as he does at that age.
It being 40 years ago makes sense as he would have been 7 years old and could have remembered the Saiyans.
Edit: This would mean his planet was attacked in age 740, which is what the Dragon Ball Wiki Says so at least someone else thinks so
AGE 741 may work from the character's age point of view, but that year is two years after the destruction of planet Vegeta, which wiped out most Saiyans.
Which may explain a few things, they are still trying to go with the old and known information. But the event that the Saiyans/planet Vegeta were destroyed in AGE 737 is no longer the actual information.DiscountDabi wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 2:49 amI spent too much time thinking about this but the only year that makes sense for Planet Cereal to be attacked, Granolah to be old enough to remember it, and have Saiyans still be around to do it is in Age 737 a few months before Frieza destroyed Vegeta.
Granolah would have been 4 years old at the time but he could remember. The Saiyans would be there but wiped out soon after.
The Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman manga changed that to AGE 739. It's the year Goku arrives on Earth and presumably the year Dragon Ball Minus takes place too.
It's because they are trying to go with the previous information that Dragon Ball Super Broly brings a huge problem with its "41 years ago" right in the beginning of the movie. It should've appeared "46 years ago" on-screen, to go along with the new information.
I see that you are also going with the old information (Freeza makes an alliance with the Saiyans in AGE 732 and five years later, AGE 737, Saiyans are wiped out). You may find a way to solve stuff in the past, but what about the present? AGE 732 + 50 = AGE 782. That's one year ahead of the year we're in. However, if we assume that Granolah rounded it up, we can actually say/use forty nine instead of fifty (AGE 732 + 49 = AGE 781. Bingo!).Magnificent Ponta wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:23 amHowever, though Dragon Ball Super: Broly messed up on how long ago the events of its First Act took place, it did nevertheless establish that Freeza took control of the Cold Force 5 years before he destroyed the Saiyans, which would be c. AGE 732; if the Saiyans attacked Planet Cereal almost immediately after Freeza took over, this would just about line up with Granolah saying it happened 50 years ago (if you count back 50 from 781, including that year, rather than just subtracting 50, then you get to 732) and justify him having a special grudge against Freeza personally. It would also mean the Heeters were in league with Freeza personally from pretty much the moment of his accession to power, which would be an interesting extra little detail to infer.
Still, that kinda makes sense but a little workaround is required here. I think it kinda makes sense because it seems that's exactly how they want things to be. But like I said above, these old dates were changed thanks to the Jaco manga. That's the problem. Freeza's alliance with the Saiyans occurred in AGE 734 and the timeskip of five years gets us to the Dragon Ball Minus part (Dragon Ball Super Broly), and no workaround is required in this scenario.
Yeah, I probably shouldn't underestimate Freeza's popularity.Cipher wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 11:09 am He’s been interacting with the broader space underworld as a bounty hunter for decades now. Freeza was a big player and it’s not like his employment of the Saiyans was a secret.
If he wasn’t aware before the Saiyans came to Cereal, he likely would have been shortly after.
