I would prefer it, if they completely removed Ultimate from Gohan and just had all of them as Super Saiyans in Super, if they are going to rewrite BoG.
Anything to preserve my head-canon :twisted:

The Majin Buu saga was on May, AGE 774. +1 year on the ROSAT = 18 years.

You can check the dates to confirm. I'm not making them up.
Majin buu saga takes place in AGE 774

Cell Battle took place in AGE 767

Future trunks arrives to slay frieza in AGE 764

Now from here on there is some inconsistency with age 763 because thats when Goku vs Frieza battle should have happened then but instead it records Garlic jr being freed from dead zone and defeated by Gohan THATS NON CANON!

leaving that aside lets move on to

Age 762 frieza vs goku ( saiyans arrive about 6 months earlier and 3-4 months after vegeta defeat, Goku is on namek fighting frieza.)

Age 761 Raditz arrival

Age 757 is when Gohan is born but his real age during raditz arrival is shown to be 3 years old.


Anyway the age data here is atleast 2.5 years inconsistent to the main timeline.

That's most likely what's going on here.

That, or we'll end up seeing the wedding within the first few episodes...which would be awesome.
I would like to see the wedding, if only to watch how these characters try to put one together. :3

Gokû gets uncomfortable enough as it is in formal-wear, can you imagine him having to do a toast on-top of that? Not to mention how things play out with "helping" in regards to Buu, Mr. Satan, and Chi-Chi.

Wait, how is Gohan 3 years old? Gohan was born in Age 757 in May. Raditz arrives on Earth in Oktober in Age 761, right??

Apparently the first printing of the Weekly Shonen Jump issue containing chapter 196, had Gohan claim he was 3 years old, which was later changed to 4(no reason given).

Yeah it was changed when collected into volume format, well before the guidebooks started making compiling the timeline. So the short answer is he's not 3, but was originally.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.

Yep. That would make him 17 ... 18 by ROSAT.

Wow, Goten sure seems to be a central character this time around, He gets some father-son bonding with Goku, his usual Trunks hang out and seems to love his sister in law dearly trying to get her a good gift. All in one episode.
There's room for only one snake, and one big boss.

It's fucking beautiful ain't it. Could probably cry watching it. I hope every character gets an episode to themselves like Goten did.

I actually love the idea of giving him more character development. He really needs it.

Me too especially if it ends with Champa eating him alive.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

You bet it is!. And I hope it keeps like this, I want to see some Son Family interactions, Each and every member turned out much different from each other in their adult years, there is much potential since Goten actually ends up interested in dating and hanging out like a normal teen, something we never saw with Gohan and Goku. I see glimpses of it already, Goten is far more cunning now than in Z (He actually convinced Goku to take money!.in DB Goku would throw away money XD). And I can see him getting interested in girls since Trunks made him jealous about Mai in BoG.

What about the crab? Vegeta's spirit animal. It's scared for life. :(
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Maybe they're grooming him to become the main character in the future! And then they'll throw that idea away at the last second and make Goku the main character again.

I'd rather have Trunks become the main character unless Goten's personality really develops, because atm he's a Goku clone.

Well so far we've seem how cunning Goten can be. Something Goku isn't. So expect changes in Gotens personality. He'll start liking girls something Goku doesn't quite like. Most kids act like their dad anyways so it's a phase. Goten more childlke than Goku though.
