What is your Franchise Head-Canon?

[Xeztin]

Basically as the title says, what is your personal canon? I'm not sure how I currently feel about the movies right now, but at the moment I have a pretty good lock in on the anime series, and manga themselves: Since Super wasn't a thing at the time of GT, I consider GT a sequel "Side-Story" to DBZ filler and all (Super didn't happen). As far as Super goes, In my opinion it happened in Kai's timeline, since it follows the manga more closely (GT didn't happen). Obviously, I consider the Dragon Ball manga, and Super Manga to be in the same timeline as well. So all in all, I suppose I have two separate Canons, DB-DBZ-GT (excluding Super), and DB-Kai-Super (Excluding GT). I would probably throw the movies in DBZ-GT's timeline, but not all of them will fit and make sense. How about your canons?

Note: Please don't bombard the thread with arguments about the word "Canon" and what was pinned by Toriyama. This is more about what you like and accept, and what you don't like, and exclude more than anything else.

[precita]

I consider all anime filler canon. I place Movies 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 13 in the main anime canon. (I pretend Gohan is older looking in Movies 6-7 to make them fit).

I consider the special with Tarble canon, then Super, as well as certain scenes from the new movies that weren't in Super like Pilaf explaining how they became kids.

It's cool I was just joking. That one is outdated anyway. Carry on

I don't think it's out dated it's barely 1 month but i myself don't care though.

[sintzu]

Bardock The Father Of Goku.
DB 1-29,34-41,43-78,84-126,133-148.
KAI 1-54.
The History Of Trunks.
Kai 55-100,102-164
Son Goku and his Friends Return.
Battle Of Gods.
Resurrection F.
Kai 166-167.
Whatever Toriyama says in interviews that doesn't contradict the above in a big way such as Buu's new origin.

Super's U6 arc will be placed after Resurrection F if it doesn't get a movie adaption.

I wouldn't put any of the original movies or OVA's on the list but they're still fun to watch (Bio-Broly is movie filler so it doesn't count as a true movie).

[ekrolo2]

Bardock Father of Goku, DB portion of the manga, DBZ Kai, Yo Son Goku, BoG and maybe U6 if its good is what I consider my main continuity.

Dead Zone, the Z anime and certain other movies that can fit like 5, 8, 13 along with GT are the anime continuity.

DB-, the entire DB manga and DBO are the manga continuity.

Jaco the Galactic Patrolman --> Dragon Ball Minus --> Episode of Bardock --> The manga proper up to chapter 517 --> Heya! Son Goku & Friends Return --> Battle of Gods --> Resurrection F --> Super's animated Universe 6 arc and beyond --> Chapters 518 and 519 of the original manga --> Neko Majin Z --> Dragon Ball Online

Supplementary material: Weekly Shonen Jump 1986 #37 Character Biography Data, Super Saiya Legend Strategy Guide's backstories for the Ginyu Task Force, The Daizenshuu and all derivatives, the Super Exciting Guides, Full Color Volume Toriyama Q&As.

[Analytical Delusion]

Kanzenban (with maybe the exception of the epilogue), Jaco/DBM, Super Manga + Toriyama's ROF script (though if he has been more involved with the anime, then it would replace the manga), plus direct guidebook statements by AT as well as his his interviews (and possibly the DBO material if it isn't contradicted). Basically everything Toriyama has written/stated, with more recent material/interviews overwriting the old in case of a contradiction.

[Doctor.]

The Kanzenban edition of the manga is my personal "canon". Just that.

[Bullza]

My head canon is this

"DB-/Jaco
DB volumes 1 - 42
2008 Jump Special
BOG
ROF
Universe 6"

As this is what I believe actually is the canon. As an extra though, any explanations given in Super that weren't present in the movies is information I also see as being canon.

So if Super explains how Goku and Vegeta became SSJB or how Frieza got so powerful then I will take that as canon.

[Hellspawn28]

I think it would be impossible to have everything canon in one continuity or timeline. That's why I view DB Movies 1-4 and DBZ Movies 1-13 expect for Movie 9 and 13 to be alternate timelines. DBZ Movies 1-13 are like what if stories like DBZ Movie 7 can be a what if story if Cell never went back in time and Trunks found the blue paints to active the bombs inside #17 and #18. #17 & #18 where destroy early on which can explain why they where never reference again in the film and why Goku is seen shopping with Chi Chi at West City since the other Z fighters would be at Kami's lookout at this point. They would be worry that #16-18 and Cell are on the loose too.
