Minus, Jaco, Dragon Ball, DBZ Kai/Manga, Super Anime.
Super Manga never actually did the Resurrection of F. So, that's a glaring hole in that continuity.

No it isn't. In case you've forgotten, RoF film exists and Toyo did a promotional manga that was directly tied to it.Jackalope89 wrote:Minus, Jaco, Dragon Ball, DBZ Kai/Manga, Super Anime.

Dragon Ball Super manga by Toyotaro & Toriyama is the canonical sequel to the original Dragon Ball manga by Toriyama. I hate the use of the word canonical but it was used in one of the official DB NA Tour displays, which was translated over from a Japanese reference.

The DBS anime is most consistent with the DBZ anime and Kai. So that's what is usually established to be derived from.

Re: What is the primary continuity of Super?
Depends on what Toriyama and Shueisha labeled main continuity. Which was officially the Super manga not the anime.
However, I personally only take Toriyama's outline as main canon...Until he comes out and says otherwise, the manga is officially it.

Re: What is the primary continuity of Super?
So here's a point I haven't seen brought up. We see in a flashback in the anime version of Super that Trunks went Super Saiyan over Future Gohan's body. This was explicitly not the case in the manga version of that event. But it was in the anime version.
That would more credence to the idea that the Super anime follows from Kai while the Super manga follows from the Dragon Ball manga.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.
