Potential for additional Rumor Guide entries?

As shared on Bluesky just now (you are following us, right?!)-

What's the biggest, most pervasive, just-won't-die Dragon Ball rumor that isn't already covered in our (fairly extensive!) Rumor Guide over on the main website?

As a regular reader/visitor of Kanzenshuu, you know that we generally don't get into strength debates for this section; there's almost never an actual answer (and my working theory is that the people arguing that stuff don't actually want a definitive answer).

There's classic stuff like "Dragon Ball Z 2" or "AF"... there's great research deep-dive finds like the "Kaio-Ken x100" source... there are hoaxes like the video game unlocks... there are comprehensive translation/language breakdowns like the Goku-never-kissed example... and there are larger breakdowns that stem from common citations like the "LOOK ALIEN" screenshot.

Along those lines, what glaring holes are there in the section right now?

That Dragon Ball has a canon and we, mere fans, can dictate what is canonical. That rumor just won't die already.


"Jokes" aside, people used to assume Bardock surpassed or is equal to King Vegeta, even though the latter's power level was never stated in or out-of-universe. Although I doubt it warrants a section, seeing as there's not much to say about it, other than maybe mentioning that the English dub is the cause of that rumor.

The term "Mystic Gohan" being a thing... if you count English material as official content. If I'm not mistaken, it appears in a Game Boy game (similar situation to the "Frost Demon" one. Also on that note: "Ascended Super Saiyan" and "Ultra Super Saiyan"). But eh, it seems not much to say about it either.
