Head canon is this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... head+canon

A lot of fans think Bulma is a horrible cook, Bardock smoked cigarettes, ect.

Ozotto the Super Monster is Tenshinhan's great-great-great-great-grandfather, give or take a couple "greats".

Red head Vegeta from the first few episodes of Z was actually Super Saiyan 5, Vegeta just never looked in a mirror and Nappa was to stupid to notice.

Any attempt to camp by any of the Z-Fighters and/or any of Dragon Ball's crew will inevitably result in a powerful enemy ruining their camping trip... and trying to kill them too, of course.

Vegeta's way better at videogames than Goku is. Vegeta's also an excellent cook.
Since he's the lssj, Brolli's got super-sensitive hearing and that's why Goku's squeaky voice bothers him so much.
Bura can transform into a ssj, she just doesn't do it that often because she doesn't like getting all sweaty and ruining her clothes. She also sometimes designs/creates her own clothes.
I ignore GT Pan and base her personality off her brief appearance in Z; she's very much Goku's granddaughter.
Bulma still invents all kinds of crazy stuff, she just doesn't flaunt her inventions as much anymore for safety reasons.
Thanks to the Super Exciting Guide, I'm pretty sure Tenshinhan has owned a llama and an ostrich in the past.
Because he was listed as such when Chi-Chi filled out the forms, Gohan's high school still thinks Goku is dead.
DBO's 801 Goku and Vegeta event definitely happened, it was exactly as Shakespearean Tragedy as it sounded in the description, and their final death-battle lasted at least 3 to 4 days non-stop.
Future Trunks' Time Patrol does come to be. Goku wants to be a time patrolman too (only so he can battle strong guys while going on time-traveling adventures) but Trunks refuses to allow him to join because he just doesn't trust Goku with the job, especially after what went down in the Telebikko game animation.


I probably have more, but nothing I can think of atm.

Chaozu spends his free time surfing 4chan, complaining about 3D PIG DISGUSTING and doing obscene things to his moe anime figures.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

- Some of the events of GT actually happened, but not in the same exact way
- Everything up to the year 801 in the DBO timeline happens
- Episode of Bardock wasn't a look into the past, it was just the creation of an alternate timeline
- DBZ Movies 1-4 take place in an alternate timeline: Gohan's power is made known to everyone in Movie 1, prior to the encounter with Raditz, causing the Saiyan arc to play out differently, leading to Movie 2
- The Trunks seen in Movie 7 is in fact the same Trunks whose time machine gets stolen by Cell
- Broly's "Legendary Super Saiyan" is just Grade IV
- Super Buu is more powerful than Kid Buu

That's all I've got.

Mr. Satan weakened Cell for Gohan
Chi-Chi is the one responsible for Gohan's true hidden powers
Yajirobe doesn't fight much because he's too strong and wants others to have a shot at the big baddies
Tenshinhan doesn't visit the Z-Senshi because he thinks they're "gay"
Chaozu faps to self-made Tenshinhan porn everyday and everynight
Yamcha gets (literal) pussy from Pu'ar and pretends he's Bulma
Bulma lost her virginity long before she even met Yamcha
Vegeta raped millions of compatible female aliens before he kills them

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Vegeta would have been killed if he went up against Jheese or Batta instead of Reacoom.
Tullece exists in the manga canon but is simply never shown.
Bardok is (sort of) a good guy.

All the manga created by Toriyama exist into one world, somehow.
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.

- Lunch eventually finds Tenshinhan and they have a child who also suffers from a split personality and has his/her dad's strength.
- Bulma and Vegeta's sex life is beyond crazy. Like two horny angry rabbits going at it.
- Even though training and fighting is always on his mind, Goku enjoys sex just as much as any other Saiyan and he will beg Chichi (in a completely innocent way) for it until she gives in.
- Chichi is way better cook than Bulma or any other character for that matter.
- Yamcha comes from a very rich family but he ran away and eventually befriended Puar and became a dessert bandit. Which is why he has no interest in ruling world or being rich.
- Speaking of Yamcha's family, the reason he ran away was because he was the youngest of 15 siblings, whom were all girls. Being the only boy they bullied Yamcha and scared him often. Which is why he was afraid of girls but he never hated them. He knew not every girl out in the world was evil but he still couldn't get over his fear until Bulma came along.

And...

  • Bardock's true story wasn't anything like in the movie special.
  • Vegeta was born with a widow's peak and never had a fringe.
  • Broli actually was the Super Saiyan of the legend Vegeta spoke of, just a (few?) thousand years ago.
  • Vegeta was pretty close to Goku in power at the end of the series.
  • Bulma was the only one Vegeta ever had sex with.

-Vegeta didn't want to fuse with Kakarot because all the innuendo that comes with it, and that he might like it. (if you know what I mean) :wink:

-Goku had a peek of Vegeta's mind while fused and whatever he saw in there is reason he stopped asking him to fuse and agreed to destroy the Potara earrings twice.

-There's something going on between them beyond just rivalry. I mean... C'mon!! Just look at this!!

Image


-Chichi conceived Gohan 2 or 3 months after their honeymoon... because Goku simply went to sleep after having dinner and had no idea he was supposed to tend to "certain needs". :lol

-DBO timeline is canon for me.

-Vegeta's mother was 1/4 or even 1/2 Tuffle. Both her sons are way... WAY too short for Saiyan standards.

-Bulma was the one seducing Vegeta. After a fight with Yamcha during the 3 lost years, she regretted not taking her chances with Goku at the 23rd Tournament. Which would be one of the reasons she took the initiative with Vegeta.

-Bulma was Vegeta's first. He saw sex as a waste of time. He never gave in to those temptations because they would made him loose focus of his goals and missions.

-Most Saiyans mate to the same woman. Raditz and Goku, Vegeta and Tarble seem to share the same mother.

-Vegeta is one of the most extreme and heartless Saiyans. The others would have it "easier" than him to adapt to Earth's life.

-Planet Saiya exists and might be a source for possible warriors for Earth. They just need to convince some of them to come over and help. Easier said than done, of course.

-Chaoz is a living doll. He will never get old.

I'll think of more later.

Movie 5 happened but in the original timeline, shortly before the heart virus. Gohan realized that if Gokuu had destroyed the ship Freeza and Cold arrived in sooner, there would be no way for any additional solider inside to send the message to Coola. So thats why Trunks blows up the ship, which leads to Coola and his crew never showing up in the Anime series or Manga.

Also these I agree with and I don't mind adding them to my head canon.

1) My lengthy theory about the Namekians.
It was about them being a highly developed race, who was known throughout the universe for their high battle powers and magical abilities.

It involved female Namekians and the reason, why Dende didn't know, what a female is, is because Saichoro -the only survivor kept it a secret, that there once were Female Namekians. He did this, because if they knew too much of their back story, they wouldn't focus on developing their planet and would just abuse the Dragonballs or something like that.

But why does Namekians lay eggs then?
My explanation for that was, that being so highly developed and magical in nature as them, they sooner or later learned the ability to reproduce without the contribution of the other sex, but doing it greatly lessened their lifespan, so it wasn't used that much, only when wanting your kid to have a specific gender, since Male Namekians can only give birth to male Namekians, while Female ones can only give birth to female ones.

That's why Namek is populated by men only, since Saichoro - the only one left happens to be a male Namekian. And after having laid so many eggs, Saichoro's lifespan greatly lessened and he became a giant blob, due to using up all one's energy on laying eggs, makes you explode from the inside, just like Piccolo Daimao did after he created his offspring.

So if Saichoro had laid another egg, he would've exploded, probably taking the planet with him...
2) The Namekian Dragon Balls do not disperse after having granted all 3 wishes, instead they just return to their creator, as long as the creator hasn't died during the wishing session, of course.

3) Babidi and Dabra didn't sense Goku and co's ki, when they were hiding on the mountain. Instead they just looked in Babidi's crystal ball, which was what revealed their presence and established that the Saiyans alone had the power to revive Majin Buu in the vein of "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" or Jafar's crystal ball in Aladdin.

4) Kaioshin could have killed Babidi just as easily as he did his father, if he was put in the same situation as Piccolo. Babidi was just bluffing about his abilities and was only confident because he had a strong subordinate with him.

5) "Super Saiyan 4" is 10 times stronger than Super Saiyan 3.

6) Lengthy theory on Kaioken:

I came up with it, when I saw Ginyu(in Goku's body)'s Battle Power being no more than 23,000, which coupled with Goku's statement of Ginyu not being able to bring out a large power without mind and body being one, made me think that Ginyu's way of utilizing ki is based entirely on the body aspect of it.
So 23,000 is the ki that was naturally present in Goku's body by this point, but by putting his mind to it, Goku can go up to 90,000.

With this in mind we can continue..

Your body has to be at a certain level, so it can keep up with the technique without wearing itself down. It's not total ki, but rather the ki of your body. Since I think Ginyu's 23,000 level is actually the level of Goku's body and Goku was sure he could handle the Kaioken x10 by now, I have the required BP to handle Kaioken x10 at 20,000.

This means that the required level to handle Regular Kaioken/x2 is 4000.

So:

Body has a BP of 4000 :arrow: Damage free Kaioken/x2 is possible.
Body has a BP of 6000 :arrow: Damage free Kaioken x3 is possible.
Body has a BP of 8000 :arrow: Damage free Kaioken x4 is possible.
etc.

So the ki of Goku's body during the Saiyan Arc would be 4000 at the very least, but below 6000, since he couldn't handle a Kaioken x3.

7)

I can accept this, also the thing about Chi Chi does seem slightly suggested as I recall Videl was impressed by her food and even said it was better than what their private chef made them.

8) "Clothes beam" could easily have played a major part in defeating the big bads(maybe not the ones with regeneration) by doing something as simple as conjuring weighted clothing onto them.

9) Shin Kikoho would have disintegrated #16 and everyone weaker than it.

10) Dr. Gero and #19 also attacked the South Island in the other timelines.

11) The reason why #17 and #18 are weaker in Trunks' timeline is because Dr. Gero and #19 didn't have anyone following them after their trip to the island, where they tested out their powers. With no one forcing him to release them prematurely, he adjusted their powers one more time just to see, if that would do the trick...

I probably have a lot more, but that's what I'm thinking.

Episode of Bardock wasn't a look into the past, it was just the creation of an alternate timeline
That's how time travel canonically works in DBZ already. If you go to the past, you branch off a new timeline from the point of arrival rather than actually going to your past, as seen with Trunks. So if you count it as canon to the manga/anime at all, it was an alternate timeline... created by Bardock going into the past (somehow.)

I also really like this one:
-Vegeta's mother was 1/4 or even 1/2 Tuffle. Both her sons are way... WAY too short for Saiyan standards.
I mean, they didn't have Freeza paying them to wipe out entire species yet (and even if they were doing it themselves, they were taking this planet as their own rather than selling it)... so it's entirely possible that not all of the Tsufuru were wiped out right away, just the majority (all warriors+leaders I'm sure, but maybe not every random civilian; Oozaru Saiyans wouldn't go around killing everybody if they couldn't control themselves, just whoever attacked them or was in the immediate area), and the rest just couldn't keep up their reproduction rate enough to survive as a species without interbreeding with the Saiyans.

This could also mean that Vegeta was always so strong compared to other Saiyans of his time (and afterward, aside from Goku) because he came out like Goten or Trunks, being a half-breed born with an abnormally high power level and a natural talent for fighting (and lucky for him, Tsufuru-jin weren't as lazy as humans so he didn't get that particular disadvantage along with it.)

And Table, on the other hand, is more Tsufuru than Saiyan... or maybe he's like Gohan, who started out embarrassingly weak by Saiyan standards (PL 1 at age 4, when his dad was already at 2 as an infant? they would've shipped him off to the weakest borderline-uninhabited planet they could find for sure.) Which could mean he actually has a crapload of potential just like Gohan, but due to a mostly peaceful life and never training he probably has no idea that it even exists (or maybe he survived Avo and Kado's attack on his/Gure's planet by stunning them during a "rage boost" moment after getting injured or seeing friends/family get killed, just long enough to get away?)

Let me think...

- The Cold clan's naturally high ki is evolutionary reaction to the scarcity of their species. The rivalries between them double as a means of keeping contact and self-preservation, and their becoming condescending, cruel, and placing themselves on the pedestals they do is a clear example of a powerful species having no perspective on what it is- like, say, humans at times. Have to thank a friend for that one.

I add that this puts several layers of irony on their relationship with the Sayains- namely that the race that became powerful for it's own protection built up the race the one race with potential to destroy it, and Vegeta, Nappa, and Radditz creating their own Saiyain mantras in response to Freeza's oppression.

- Kami's being nonchalant and lazy and Piccolo Daimao's being unapologetically evil- in short that they're both largely one-track- can be attributed to the full-range emotional trauma Kami must have gone through if he could be both black-hearted and immensely qualified for the title of God at the same time; presuming we give the title of God any significant meaning. Kami's tired and Piccolo doesn't care anymore. It's be worthy of a fanfic if we had more details.

- Goku learns to read in the "lost decade" (Fandom term now?). He apparently knows how currency works, so I think that opens the gates for his basic socialization.

- Bulma and Yamcha reconcile during the post-Cell timeskip. That Toriyama threw in those bits prior about their strained relationship just before Trunks' being born and then dropping it completely is a bit disappointing.

- Assumed out-of-universe explanation aside, Goku would agree that Super Sayain 3 is an unnatural, "cheating" transformation, and thus using it against Majin Vegeta would have meant nothing because it was something Vegeta had never gotten the chance to emulate it. That and the risk that SS3 would have in giving Buu fewer but enormous energy donations, particularly given that the later fight clearly illustrates Goku's greater than Fat Buu in the form.

If the Ginyu Force had of survived they would have stopped being so over the top. They would have focussed on training and improving their fighting skills instead of focussing on their battle posses and chants.

I just thought of more!

12) After living with Vegeta for so many years, Bulma had become accustomed to his ki on a subconscious level. So when Vegeta's ki faded out, Bulma realized that something had happened to him, though she didn't know what or how she knew it.

13) Before splitting off into a good and evil side, Kami called himself Piccolo, even though that might not have been his original name, this is what he used as his name. When he split, the evil side kept on calling himself Piccolo with the added title of Great Demon King, whereas the good Piccolo was now only known as Kami.

14) King Cold doesn't have any further transformations than the one he's shown in.

15) The reason why Vegeta wasn't controlling his battle power on Earth is because the scouters were able to detect all of his ki, even if he wasn't using it, whereas Goku and co. had trouble detecting ki as long as it wasn't in use. This also means that suppressing your power is changing the amount available in the body, whereas what everyone else did was simply changing how much of it you use.

This is also the reason why Dr. Gero only got a fraction of Piccolo's power, when he absorbed him. If he had absorbed Saiyan arc Vegeta he would get the full 18,000, even if Vegeta wasn't using that amount of power.

16) Gotenks powered up to the same extent that Majin Buu did, when he became Super like this.

17) Babidi didn't need his fighters to get energy out of the Saiyans, he could simply have teleported them all to a star, easily defeating them(though he'd only get base Saiyan energy out of it).

18) From the Dabra fight onwards, everyone had forgotten Gohan went SS2 at the tournament.

19) Super Saiyan is only a short term solution, which in most cases would be enough, but a Saiyan with eternal youth could eventually get to the point, where his regular state outdoes his Super Saiyan power like Gohan. Without the Elder Kaioshin's power-up, it takes something extraordinary to reach that level under normal conditions.

20) The Mafuba, Kienzan, etc. all would fail, if the gap in power is too big. The filler, where Krillin's Kienzan failed against Cell is completely acceptable.

Furthermore an attack with over ½ the power of the striking point is capable of doing damage to it kinda in the vein of how it's said in the Encyclopedia Daizenshuu the barrier has to have twice the ki of the opponent to cancel out attacks.

Techniques rooted in magic like the Devil-mite beam, the transfiguration beam, the materialization sorcery can affect any being.

21) Before getting his power up at Karin's in the Great Demon King Piccolo Arc, Goku and every other fighter were able to sense ki to some extent. It's only when receiving the training they did, that they finetuned it even more.
