Because I think if they ever were to explain the movies, they'll do this, put all of them in the same continuity. Also, because we do not have any official statement that says each movie takes place in its own dimension. Also also, if we consider the Hatchiyack OVA events, in which the characters acknowledge the movie villains, then that means they must take place in the same continuity. But anyway, I think this would also come down to personal preference until officially stated otherwise.
Then, by all means, provide a source.
That's not what Daizenshuu 6 says about Movie 2, Movie 3 and Movie 4. The guidebook states the latter two movies happen at some point during Freeza saga, not after it.
I also need a source for this. I don't remember that idea being "cemented" at all.
Goten and Trunks have no reason to fuse in Movie 11 if it takes place around the tournament, that's not when they learn how to fuse.
Loved your idea for Movie 2, Nappa comes first, Movie 2 happens, then Vegeta appears. However, if Nappa takes eleven months to arrive on Earth and then Vegeta also takes this amount, that puts the fight against Vegeta in AGE 763. Vegeta has to be closer to Earth so that the last part of Saiyan saga can also take place in AGE 762. Unless you purposely want to change the known years, which I think it might be fine (though I would prefer to stick to the years), generally speaking.KBABZ wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 4:22 pmThis is what I have so far. Similar to your outlook, my approach was not to have the movie over-write entire anime story arcs, but to adjust said story arcs so that the movies can still happen. As you'll see, the most drastic change I had to make was with Z Movie 2.
I would place Movie 3 one year before Trunks' arrival (that would be AGE 763 in the known years). In the anime, Trunks expects to find only Goku and is surprised to see everyone together. So we could use this "blunder" and rewrite it to be Trunks arriving after Goku had already arrived.
About the wishes, I don't remember how the Dragon Balls worked before Dende. One wish requires a full year to recharge, is that it?
Movie 5 takes place at some point after Trunks arrival and before the androids' appearances, (i.e between AGE 764 and AGE 767). Not during the week prior to Cell Games as you stated in the document.
Clever use of "Goku unable to teleport due to Big Gete Star"! I don't remember if that's a thing in the movie, but if it isn't, clever idea!
You didn't mention anything, but Movie 10 has Goten seeing Goku. Which would only happen in the tournament. I know it sucks but I would rewrite the emotional anime scene so that Goten is happy to finally see his father for the second time (and "alive", that is, being able to touch him), not the first time. Unless you did say something with the "some maybe-help from Goku". To which I understand you ignore that Goku's spirit appeared in the movie (?). That would work too, but since I'd rewrite the anime instead of the movies...
You did a great job, congratulations! I would just ask you to state the years of these events. I couldn't really understand what you were going for and obviously I couldn't just apply the known years to them, so I kinda lost track right in the beginning.
