List Of Things That Turned Out To Be False Later On.

Like Goku claiming SSJ3 couldn't defeat Fat Boo or that the Potara were permanent for everyone who used them?

Whis' theory about Goku Black. He though that Zamasu used the Super Dragon Balls to create a fake copy of Goku while in reality Goku Black is just Goku's body possessed by an alternate timeline's Zamasu.

Also, when everyone fought that erasing Zamasu in the present would undo his work in the future. Sadly old Beerus didn't account for the Time Ring that protected Black from any change to the past.

Future Trunks states Android 19 and 20 were responsible for killing the main cast and wrecking his world, then it later turns out to be Android 17 and 18 who were responsible for that.

That SSJ was an one & only thing

You know, the contrarians who think DB should be a Slice-of-Life series, the folks who worship Pre-Raditz Dragonball uncritically, the folks who downplay and often flat-out deny that Dragonball is an action series, the folks who try to push that false argument that none of the serious moments in the series were mean't to be taken seriously, etc.

Dragonball doesn't have a single tone. It has both silly and serious moments, both humor and drama, just like real life. The idea that a work of fiction should be only all-comedy or all-serious is unnatural and frankly, retarded.

Zero context, zero setup. Its in NO way meant to be seen as a "beginning point" for ANYTHING other than the next story arc. It flows precisely and fluidly from where things left off in the aftermath of the 23rd Budokai and mostly hits the ground running from there without really stopping to look back. You're plopping someone into the middle of a book starting at chapter 195 out of 519 for absolutely no good goddamn reason, with very minimal opportunity to look back at much needed context and character/story growth.

This is still what pod babies did. So you could argue they still expected him to do that. It can still work either way. It's almost a linguistic/philosophical problem.

I mean his parents sent him there to survive, knowing pod babies wipe out planets.
Raditz assumes he was sent as a pod baby TO wipe out all life.
He's still vicious in minus till the head bump in canon.

People act like Broly/Minus changed more than it actually did.

He's going to grow up and wipe out the planet anyway, it's just a case of wether that was a goal in and of itself.

If anything I think it makes it more dark, they didn't want to wipe out earth, they just didn't even care that he would. It's like the famous Chomsky vs Harris e-mail debate. Are islamists killing civilians deliberatly morally worse than US imperialism stepping on people like ants, but not caring at all, as they are collatoral damage. Do islamists ironically perscribe more value to their victims.
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.

I wonder why they never fixed this in reprintings it's a literal plot hole, not just a twist or retcon...

Does anyone say he is? I only remember him being stated to be above Emna.

Son Goku was merely passing the torch to those younger than him, but like Son Gohan before them, Trunks Brief, Son Goten, and especially Gotenks were really too immature to take any threat seriously. The innards of Super Buu (Ultimate Jobber, Mr. Piccolo, Prissy Playboy, and Minion of the Prissy Playboy Absorbed) had canceled out the effects of the pair of Potara worn by Son Goku and Vegeta (Angel) to give birth to Vegito by dissolving the Kaioshin Magic of the Potara.

From the top of my head I can think of four from Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta since the Saiyan Saga, Frieza since the Planet Namek Saga, Cell since the Androids Saga, and Hercule since the Cell Games Saga.

The oni that drives Goku from Enma's to the head of Serpent Road says that he stands above all the other gods of the universe.

Not to mention the all-to-obvious fact that Son Goku and the Z Fighters had to pay the price of an entire timeline being erased by the Future Omni-King for not taking Goku Black out while they had the chance to do so when the Dark Saiyan Beyond God had visited their timeline with his Time Ring.

Interesting. Isn't it a theme that higher levels are kinda secret. Like Piccolo thinks Shin might be the grand kaio and wasn't sure there even was a supreme Kaioshin.

Quite plausible it's classified and the oni is assuming.

But yeah out of universe a soft retcon for sure.
