One more person, and Bebi Vegeta would attain SSJG?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

I think the Pilaf gang being kids contradicts GT because if you assume they wished again it creates a plot hole because every wish has a counterpart shadow dragon. So I think Toei messed up a little.

The wish to bring back Piccolo Daimao's victims, the wish to remove #17's & #18's bombs, and the wish to bring back Cell's victims didn't create any Evil Dragon.

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.

For all we know they find the Dragon Balls again and wish themselves older, and then maybe these two opposite wishes cancel each other.

The other wishes slipped my mind but yeah you're right :!: , maybe it's just random what wish dragons are created from; makes me wonder why have no evil dragon created by certain wishes still find it strange that Pilaf being old would never even be mentioned, then again GT has other problems too.

I like the opposite wishes theory. Maybe if wishes from the same individual are too similar they don't count.

Dead Zone happen in the anime since the Garlic Jr saga makes references to it. The Garlic Jr. saga happen in the anime since Kulilin's GF has appear in several episodes and the same Sacred Water was used again in GT.
GT was made long before BoG was even thought of
I know, but I'm looking at it in a universe stand point of view. I think Toei ignores the DBZ movies in the anime timeline expect for Movie 1 and maybe 13. If Movie 8 did happen in the anime then South Kai would have talked about how the galaxy he watched over was gone. I doubt he will be like "Oh billions of people died. I'm going to forget it never happen".

The movies, minus BoG, are stated to take place in alternative continuities (except for M1 & M5, which take place in the main continuity as well). BoG on the other hand, is officially stated to be part of the official history. I don't know if that makes it canon for the manga, but I think it makes it canon to the anime.
