"Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

Dragon Ball has no canon.

Yes it does. The manga.

Of course; I was talking more about everything else, as that seems to be what the vast majority of canon debates revolve around.

Yeah, but people who talk about "canon" in DB talk about it like certain Doctor Who fans talk about canon, where they count EVER ancillary piece of expanded universe media even though the show largely ignores everything outside of most of Paul McGann's stuff in Big Finish. I personally go with the multiple timelines theory for DB because that's just what makes the most sense & certain things like the games have made that pretty explicit that that's what they're going with, especially since everything produced since Battle of Gods quietly ignores that GT exists since they're incompatible & Daima just completely ignored the fact that it's incompatible in multiple ways with the timeline presented in Super, plus Super & Daima completely ignore that they're incompatible with the ending of the manga. So, y'know...

I think at this point most fans think of these thinks the same way since eve a casual fan would be able to pick these things up even passively.

Yeah, I already know that the History of Trunks has a manga.

I wonder if a GT DLC is that unlikely? I mean, it can always rely on SSJ4 popularity lol

This has been said by now multiple times.
The game pretty much JUST sticks to what Toriyama either wrote, or had a hand in. This means: The manga, the 2 Z TV specials (even though he rebooted Bardock in Minus, but there's barely anything there to adapt, so I get it), Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, & Daima. Toriyama had no involvement in GT outside of some early character & other designs. It'd be more likely for them to adapt the rest of Super, or the earlier arcs of the manga before the last tournament before the Saiyan Arc. I'd be very surprised if they did GT DLCs, tbh.

If they made an exception for Bardock, I don't see why they couldn't make an exception for GT as well. That one Bardock dlc single handledly disproves the point that they only do purely Toriyama stuff.

The entire mission statement of the game since before it came out was to be able to play the story from the manga & Z. I'm pretty sure they included Bardock specifically because it was a part of the original Z run, plus they needed content for the second round of DLCs & that was 1 they could pull from it. GT isn't particularly a series people remember fondly & it's not part of Z, so they're not bothering.

I like to believe there's a silent majority out there just dying to play a mini game of dancing with the Para Para Brothers.
