Canon is what Toriyama Akira wrote, the 42 tankoubons. Nothing else, even the TV animation is not canon. And Gogeta doesn't exist, ouch!

Just ignore him.
Ah finally, movie 12, about time. I'm guessing Super Saiyan Pan! :D okay, not guessing but hoping, I'm most likely going to be disappointed.

I'm going to be disappointed if they never do cards of the first three movies of DBZ

As the Dragon Ball franchise continues to add more stories and even different adaptations of said stories into its library of lore, the question "Is it canon?" seems to arise more and more frequently. Since the series' debut in December of 1984, over 20 years ago, not one single person related to the franchise has come out and declared what should be considered "canon material". So, if you want Episode of Bardock to be canon, then include it in your own "personal canon". You are free to choose whatever material you want to include from whatever adaptation you so desire.

That's his signature, and it tells you that nobody has ever officially described what's "Dragon Ball canon". Fans can't really do that themselves, but when they do, we then call it "personal canon" or "fanon".

Bebi looks cool. I guess we see Bebi character avatars and maybe SSj Pan. I still hope see SSj4 Gohan next.

I guess the Secret card will be one of those:
SSJ3 Goten
SSJ3 Vegeta
SSJ Pan

I doubt any SSJ4 will appear on this one yet, since SSJ4 Goku hasn't been introduced yet. But he may make his debut on this Galaxy Mission, you never know.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

In the Bardock's movies he, a saiyan, can breath in the space... Obviously this bullshit is NOT canon... Freeza or Cell can breath in the space, saiyans can´t!!!!

OK... but, much like the earlier random statement about canonicity in this thread... what does that have to do with anything here?
Are people still mistakenly responding to someone's signature quote instead of the topic of the thread...? I mean, the intricacies of breathing in space really have nothing to do with this video game...

SS3 Gogeta as the secret rare.
I think they're bringing in Movie 12 now because SS4 Gogeta shows up later...
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on
my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Well, much later. I think they're bringing it because it's about damned time!

Hm... looks like I have a lot of catching up to do with this game's news.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

Or people can just start posting on topic.

Just for the heck of it why not SSJ2 Gogeta for the complete set?

Because apparently they don't know how to design SSJ2s.

So far, just confirming what we already knew once Gogeta and Paikuhan were revealed:

Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)
