I'd like to see that play out if there were a member that wrote the Kikoho as Ki Cannon.SaiyaJedi wrote:I'm tempted to have a word filter put in that changes all instances of "canon" to "holy writ" (and "cannon" to "heavy artillery").
Well, to some of us, Dragonball is almost a religion. All should pay homage to Mr. SatanSaiyaJedi wrote:I'm tempted to have a word filter put in that changes all instances of "canon" to "holy writ"
🕊How do you address the movies that couldn't have taken place in the main history of the story? (ex: movie 6)PhoenixEX wrote:I pretty much consider everything DB related canon, so all OVA's, films and maybe even GT in my mind happened within the same universe.
I think that would be impossible to have every single Dragon Ball media into one timeline. It's like putting every Godzilla movie, comic and video game into one big timeline.PhoenixEX wrote:I pretty much consider everything DB related canon, so all OVA's, films and maybe even GT in my mind happened within the same universe.
Although I don't share PhoenixEX's opinion, canon doesn't have to exclude plotholes.

The Cross Epoch crossover is different from the Dr. Slump & Neko Majin crossovers. In Dragon Ball, we saw the Penguin Village, Arale, Senbei, and everyone else exactly as they were in the end of Dr. Slump, and in Neko Majin, we saw Goku, Mr. Boo, etc exactly as they were in the end of Dragon Ball (except for Vegeta). Cross Epoch however showed completely different versions of the Dragon Ball & One Piece characters (Kame-sennin & Sanji as police officers, Kuririn & Chopper owning a train, Bulma & Nami being space thieves, Vegeta along with Trunks, Usopp, and Robin as sky pirates, etc).Marco Polo wrote:And yet many people view Dr Slump and Neko Majin as canon.Hellspawn28 wrote:I feel like sometimes that not everything can be view as canon even if you want too. Something like Cross Epoch can't view as canon to both franchises since it's a crossover.
The Dragon Ball characters in all media are exactly the same. For example, Goku is the Goku we know everywhere, same back-story, techniques, etc. They can take place in the same world, the only problem would be the fact that the world would be a world full of plot holes.Hellspawn28 wrote:I think that would be impossible to have every single Dragon Ball media into one timeline.

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.
That's exactly why I don't have a problem with including Dr. Slump in the same world as Dragon Ball. Nothing is serious there, so the contradictions are also not meant to be taken seriously.Hellspawn28 wrote:The problem with Dr. Slump existing in the same universe as Dragon Ball is that Dr. Slump itself is not meant to be taken seriously. Arale destroy the Earth in half then the Planet is restore back to normal in the next panel.

I'm guessing you are asking is EoB in continuity with the regular universe we follow in the manga? Difficult to say since different conflicting things seems to happen to Bardock in the original special, EoB, and DBO.Black_Liger wrote:It may be a truly stupid question, but does it?. Bardock's Transformation is my favorite in the whole series, especially for it's music!. So is it?
