Could Super end up making Xenoverse Canon?

Post by dangerouslover » Tue Aug 23, 2016 11:01 am

I mean they've literally been set up to become so. First, we have Trunks who broke the law of time travel, not once but twice now. However, he did it for the future of humanity's survival. Next we have Zeno-Chan, who Goku has promised to bring a friend to which could end up being Future Trunks. And after playing, Zeno-Chan could say that Trunks must be punished for his sins, and therefore will be in charge of making sure time doesn't deteriorate from its proper history. And to ensure Zeno-Chan's order is carried out, he assigns a Supreme Kai of Time oversee Trunks.

I know it sounds far out there, but it also sounds highly plausible to me.

I don't think Super will ever canonize the games, but I do think there is the chance of it making certain elements cannon. Like the exsistence of the SKOT and maybe recruiting Trunks to make up for his sins. But that's really all.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I had rather have a universe where some of DBO happened, like Gohan's studies being a contribution to the planet, the Namekians having arrived and established their own society, and Majin Boo having created more versions of himself.

I loved DBO's tragimantic end for Gokû and Vegeta. If they were to ever kill them off for good, DBO's story is how I'd want to see it done.
Xenoverse conversely hasn't had anything that I feel anything more than neutral on.
On hiatus.

There isn't really anything that Xenoverse has introduced that we haven't seen before or really anything that I feel is worthwhile content to be included in the main story of Super or any Dragon Ball continuity.

Xenoverse is canon to itself. Time travel causes time paradoxes to happen giving birth to infinite amount of timelines. Xeno Future Trunks is likely not the same Future Trunks we know, but a different version.

Definitely the Gohan one. Would give some meaning to his studies other than I wear glasses now. Namekians arriving doesn't make much sense to me but maybe it does within the context of the game? Neutral on Majin boo creating more versions.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

You could say it does.
Dragon Ball Online wrote:AGE 790
Mister Buu vows to take a lover. He splits himself in order to create a female Buu.
Mister Buu becomes increasingly envious as he observes the intimacy of the human lovers around him. One day, in Mister Satan’s study, he came across the novel “Bob and Margaret’s Forbidden Games”, a classic of erotic fiction. Due to its influence, creates his ideal, female Buu.
[Ref: From DBO Trailer #1's history book and the DBO timeline.]

AGE 791
Mister Buu and Missus Buu conceive a child through “booby-booby”. This marks the birth of the Majin race.
Buu and his wife remember the term “booby-booby” from reading “Bob and Margaret’s Forbidden Games”. They tear off many pieces from various parts of their body and mix them together in “booby-booby”. By firing a Love-Love Beam, they birth life into the dumpling-shaped pieces. From that moment on, Buu’s descendants were recognized world-wide as the "Majin" race.
[Ref: From the DBO timeline.]

AGE 851
New Namek is destroyed from an ambush by Mira and his army. Great Elder Muri and hundreds of Namekians emigrate to Earth.
Following this, Namekians take up residence on Earth. Dende warns the Earth’s King about Mira’s army, but this information is kept secret from the average citizen in fear that it would cause a panic. Initially, the Namekians were protected in West City. Later, they moved to Porunga rocks and Yunzabit heights, though some remained in West City and developed their own culture.
[Ref: From the DBO timeline.]

AGE 853
In order to atone for losing their home planet, the Namekians who relocated to Earth begin training to defend themselves. This results in the foundations for the modern “Shadow Warrior”, “Dark Warrior”, “Denden Priest”, and “Poko Priest” classes are established.
Some of the monsters that Piccolo Daimao had spawned long ago still survive on Earth. Some were secretly incubated in places such as Pilaf’s castle, and others that had bred naturally in the wild. Piccolo became aware of their existence, but determined he could not resolve the situation on his own, and so he accepted it.

A while after the Namekians had emigrated to Earth, at Great Elder Muri’s suggestion, Piccolo and a few other Namekians capture these monsters and keep them secured. In the midst of this, some Dragon clansmen started to research the monsters and were able to master handling them. This knowledge leads to the birth of “Poko Priest” class.

A little weird that they chose earth even though it's so far away. I guess dende being the god of earth is why? Okay, Ill accept it.

I think it's both Dende being there and it being the home of Vegeta and Goku before they died.

Why would they care about Vegeta and Goku?

Goku's the guy who saved their entire race prior (A few centuries?)

I like some of the ideas that Xenoverse came up with. The Demon God Demigra, Supreme Kai of Time, Towa and Mira and the Time Breakers (particularly with Bardock) are all things I'd have enjoyed seeing in Super....if Xenoverse hadn't done it first.

If Super had its own take on all of that I wouldn't mind but I wouldn't want Super to tie in with the Xenoverse game directly.

Haha that's true :oops: I don't think they'd care about Vegeta though.

He did slaughter an entire village, didn't he... :D

So yeah, I think by that point the Namekians would probably hold the home of their savoir as some sort of safe haven. And as mentioned they were seeking to train, so they probably thought that earth would hold strong fighters to help them.
