I'm not even to episode 15 yet, but I'm already certain Bulla will show up if she's in the End of Z.

Why do people want here retconed in Trunks's daughter when she's calling Vegeta Dad in the manga.

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
I like the idea of Bra actually being Trunk's daughter. It's... kinda one of those things that could blindside us and be really good storytelling if done well. I don't recall if anywhere at the End of Z Bra was SPECIFICALLY mentioned to be Vegeta and Bulma's daughter. If it was then whateva, if it wasn't... dun dun DUN. 
Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
I think the page, introducing us to the characters' End of Manga selves, does mention, that she is Vegeta and Bulma's daughter.Urarenge wrote:I like the idea of Bra actually being Trunk's daughter.

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
Yes, it does introduce her on the title page as "Trunks' little sister". And she also called out "Papa!" to Vegeta at the tournament, so there's really no ambiguity about who her parents are supposed to be.
Now, of course, that's not to say Super can't do its own thing and decide to either make her Trunks' daughter in the future, or just forget she exists entirely. I personally hope she will appear in Super at some point, and maybe even find a way to be relevant. I mean, I could see them thinking they've already got one cute baby with Pan around, so why do we need another? It would be nice if she could somehow be important...though deep in my heart, I know I mostly want to see how Vegeta would act around her
We didn't get to see him interacting much with baby Trunks since he didn't yet give a shit at that point, so seeing him trying to be a good daddy to his precious baby girl could be golden.

Vegeta, the ultimate, pissed off, shotgun wielding, over protective father of daughter. I can see the filler episodes now if I squint my eyes just a tad.

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
It won't surprise me if Toriyama forgot about Pan until he read the original script for BOG before he rewrote. Bra was only around for a short moment at the end of DBZ and barely did anything in GT. I will bet Toriyama forgot about Bra unless a editor reminds him about it.

No he doesn't, Toriyama has a particularly awful memory, and is too lazy to research his own series.

Because this is the same man who had no idea who Tao Paipai was when asked about him.

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
In a 2001 interview that was ostensibly about One Piece (with Oda, for a One Piece art book), so we're talking pre-kanzenban, during a time when no major productions had been in or would be in the works for years.ssj_duelist wrote:Because this is the same man who had no idea who Tao Paipai was when asked about him.
Look, I'm not trying to convince anyone that maybe it wouldn't necessarily be a terrible thing if everything in the series was 100% self-consistent, but a lot of these "facts" about Toriyama are hyperbolic and made without any context. I think that part's really important!

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
They've already screwed up Pan's age (what happened to her being FOUR in the tournament 10 years after Buu? She is going to be either 7 or 8 when that tournament comes up now.)
Bra should still show up but don't expect Toriyama to notice and remember how old they are supposed to be.

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
We've yet to be given a clear cut time frame of how long it was between the battle with Buu and where the BoG arc picked up. All it takes is the BoG arc falling into the same time frame as that of the BoG movie, and her age would be just fine.Eternal Super Saiyan wrote:They've already screwed up Pan's age (what happened to her being FOUR in the tournament 10 years after Buu?

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
BoG would need to be 6 years after Buu for Pan's age to connect with End of Z timeline. It's implied to be no more than a few years after Buu, and both Goten/Trunks are toddler sized kids to this day.Darkprince410 wrote:We've yet to be given a clear cut time frame of how long it was between the battle with Buu and where the BoG arc picked up.

Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
If Battle of Gods took place 6 years after Buu, then Pan likely wouldn't be old enough at the final tournament. 6+4+the remaining months of pregnancy.Eternal Super Saiyan wrote:BoG would need to be 6 years after Buu for Pan's age to connect with End of Z timeline.

The movie already takes place exactly when it should: AGE 778, four years after Buu (AGE 774). Videl's pregnant with Pan, and she's born (~9) months later in AGE 779. That places Pan as allowed to be 4 at the AGE 784 tournament and 5 sometime after.
Re: Does Toriyama remember Bra?
Goten and Trunks are not toddler sized (Marron on the other hand…). They do look elementary aged, though, which is too young, but meh. My guess is that they always thought the Future Trunks storyline was a possibility (given DBO and Xenoverse), and they didn't want Trunks to look too similar to Future Trunks. Maybe they will age them sometime after that saga is over.
