That is very likely considering other movie villians appear on GT as well.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Movies placement on the timeline
Firstly, Daizenshuu 6 blatantly says movies 1, 5, 6, 8, 8, 10, 11, and 13 happen on the main timeline. So you can throw out any what-if scenarios for those.
Movie 7 is explicitly a "parallel world".
The others are "movie-only events" or "movie inconsistencies".
Toei has in the past put Super and GT on the same timeline at exhibitions, etc. So the only flat out parallel world stories are the Dragon Ball movies 1-3, DBZ Movies 2-4, 7, and 12, and the 20th Anniversary Movie.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Movies placement on the timeline
Ok, so before DBS, I considered as canon the movies 1,5,8-10 and 13 (+ Bardock and Trunks Specials, "Yo!..." and new DBZ movies with Beerus).
But now, when DBS is almost finished, I'd say that it's hard to consider movies 8,10 and 13 as canon. 8 and 10 mostly because Vegeta and Goku don't recognise the LSSJ form when it appeares in DBS. Kale's LSJJ is something completely new to them (I still hope Toyatorou will fix this and make some small reference at least to Broly). And movie 13 because in DBS Bulma learns how to build a time machine (which she built easily in movie13).
But, I'll prefer to treat those things as small inconsistencies when I will be rewatching the whole series, simply because I really love those three movies

Re: Dragon Ball Z Movies placement on the timeline
What exactly is the proof, that in movie 7, Piccolo and Kami were fused? Even if there is, then it can still fit in the unseen timeline if we assume that in that timeline, Piccolo and Kami fused as an extra caution for the fight against the androids.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote:
I don't see any reason to Trunks traveling on time change Cooler's arrival. Even if changed, i think Cooler would take control of Freeza's imperor instead of Sorbet, or at least be mentioned on FnF. Movie 7 can't fit on the unseen timeline, since Piccolo is fused with Kami here.
1. That depends on how later Raditz arrived (If he arrives at all). I don't think if he arrived some days/weeks later it could make a difference at all. It would take a time to convince Chi-Chi and turns Gohan in a real figher.
2) What's the problem with movie 6? I actually liked, it's not like Movie 11 or something.
3) If Vegeta managed to kill Cell, he would have killed 18 too, Krillin can't stop him and Trunks would be on Vegeta's side. Also, Goku and Gohan wouldn't left the Rosat earlier because Vegeta killed Cell, they can't sense anything that happens on the outside. Maybe Gohan left the Rosat to see how things where going outside, and after he saw Vegeta killed Cell he didn't returned and Goku take it easy on the training.
Yeah, but it was pretty vague. It say things like "Lord Slug takes place when Goku should be on Namek" and never say about what happen to things go different.Grimlock wrote:I'm pretty sure Daizenshuu 6 points exactly when all movies take place in the timeline, it'd be cool if someone has a link to the old Kanzentai website, I think it's all there for us to see.

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.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Movies placement on the timeline
For context, that would be the same year the Androids show up, specifically somewhere between January and April because the Androids arrive on May 7th. If Trunks really also wanted to also make sure things with Cooler went smoothly, then on his second trip to the past he would have arrived then and stuck around for the remaining weeks/months until the Androids showed up.TobyS wrote:According to Xenoverse 2, the events of Return of Cooler happened in alternate timeline of age 767.Ricardolindo wrote:I forgot that the Coolers were given a date of 767, where does that equate too in the canon timeline??
One also needs to consider why Trunks picked the date in 764 for his first trip to the past as seen in the manga/show: it's the earliest point in time that he can meet with Goku, warn him of the future, and give him the heart medicine. That is ultimately the only reason why he went back in time in the first place; defeating Frieza and King Cold was only done because Trunks mistakenly thought events were going differently, and that was because he didn't know Goku had learned Instant Transmission.
---
In terms of the Timeline though it makes things rather interesting; if you assume that the arrival of Cooler was in early January and Goku defeats him as seen in the film (and there's no reason not to think that), then that means that Goku succumbs to and dies from the Heart Virus a scant 3-4 months before the Androids show up!

So he pulls those alternate metal Coolers into the canon timeline... Strange.
They left it deliberately ambiguous if there was a Cooler (and slug and turles etc) in the canon timeline....
Turles knows Goku but Goku doesn't know him (but that could be because he's attacking an earlier version of Goku). Freeza is shocked to see Cooler but he could just be shocked to see anyone else suddenly show up on the battlefield. Be his race, and side with him.
Man I love pondering about the plot but most people aren't interested.
I'm still trying to work out if there a multiple demigras/Towas etc. (because there seems to only be one Chronoa) how much U7 characters remember from each game etc etc.
Basically what diverged to create the movie characters and what happened to stop them or kill them before they met the canon cast in the main timeline...

I'm still trying to work out if there a multiple demigras/Towas etc. (because there seems to only be one Chronoa) how much U7 characters remember from each game etc etc.
Basically what diverged to create the movie characters and what happened to stop them or kill them before they met the canon cast in the main timeline...

If Trunks really also wanted to also make sure things with Cooler went smoothly, then on his second trip to the past he would have arrived then and stuck around for the remaining weeks/months until the Androids showed up.
One also needs to consider why Trunks picked the date in 764 for his first trip to the past as seen in the manga/show: it's the earliest point in time that he can meet with Goku, warn him of the future, and give him the heart medicine. That is ultimately the only reason why he went back in time in the first place; defeating Frieza and King Cold was only done because Trunks mistakenly thought events were going differently, and that was because he didn't know Goku had learned Instant Transmission.

In terms of the Timeline though it makes things rather interesting; if you assume that the arrival of Cooler was in early January and Goku defeats him as seen in the film (and there's no reason not to think that), then that means that Goku succumbs to and dies from the Heart Virus a scant 3-4 months before the Androids show up!
So he pulls those alternate metal Coolers into the canon timeline... Strange.
They left it deliberately ambiguous if there was a Cooler (and slug and turles etc) in the canon timeline....
Turles knows Goku but Goku doesn't know him (but that could be because he's attacking an earlier version of Goku). Freeza is shocked to see Cooler but he could just be shocked to see anyone else suddenly show up on the battlefield. Be his race, and side with him.
Man I love pondering about the plot but most people aren't interested.

In the story mode he just reacts with surprise. No one else says his name anywhere. Every other movie is from an alt timeline it'd be weird for him to be an exception...
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.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Movies placement on the timeline
He did recognize Cooler see https://youtu.be/aYSjIlJAG8o?t=3377 and https://youtu.be/aYSjIlJAG8o?t=3399. He said: "I-Is that you...!" and "B-Brother?!". He, obviously, knew who Cooler was. In Tokitoki/Conton City, the characters do react to each other, for example if you are under certain master, the other masters will comment on him. It is indeed canon. When did adult Goku reference GT?TobyS wrote:But did he though?

Cooler's Revenge
First battle against the androids (Goku took the medicine and isn't yet affected by virus, Piccolo fuses with Kami earlier)
