The Dragon World Timeline is the chronology of fictional events in the Dragon Ball franchise.
History
An out-of-universe look at how the timeline is constructed, working backwards from Age 788. Caramel Mama's involvement, timelines across movie pamphlets and guidebooks. Dates changing.
Overview
An overview of the in-universe timeline, linking where necessary to individual Age articles.
Contradictions and Revisions
Arrival of the Saiyans
Between Namek's Explosion and Future Trunks's Arrival
FIXME: Anime adds an extra year before Trunks arrives (or subtracts a year?)
Cell's Development
FIXME: Dragon Ball Chapter 363, Conversation held in 767, Cell implies another 24 years to complete his development, 791, established that Cell traveled from 788, Daizenshu 7 emergence in 786, 24 years back from that is 762 when the Saiyans arrive. Caramel Mama interpretation of dialogue to fix impossible date.
The Cell Games
In the original Weekly Shōnen Jump serialization[1] and initial tankōbon[2] printings of Dragon Ball chapter 389, Cell announces that the Cell Games will occur "nine days from today, 17 M [sic]". However, Future Trunks establishes in chapter 335 that the Artificial Humans arrive on 12 May[3], making Cell's announcement irreconcilable with the previously established date. In contrast, Dragon Ball Z episode 168's recap of episode 167 gives a date of 21 May with an upcoming gap of nine days for the Cell Games[4] (despite this line of dialogue never actually occurring in episode 167), which also contradicts the flow of time set by the Artificial Humans' appearance on 12 May. Episode 174's narration reverts back to the date of the Cell Games from the manga, 17 M.[5] Years later, when piecing together their timeline for Daizenshū 7, Caramel Mama revised the date of the Cell Games to 26 May,[6] correcting it to fit a more accurate passage of time from 12 May. Starting with the kanzenban releases[7], all subsequent Japanese printings of Dragon Ball use this revised date, including the Sōshūhen[8], which were advertised as emulating Dragon Ball as it originally ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump. Viz's English translation of Cell's dialogue refers to "the 17th", as it is based off of translations prior to this alteration. Dragon Ball Kai information.[9]
Dragon Ball GT
The timelines present in Dragon Ball GT: Perfect Files Vol. 1[10] and Chōzenshū 4[11] cite Dragon Ball GT as beginning in Age 789. Whereas Dragon Ball GT: Perfect Files Vol. 1 only references the beginning stories of Dragon Ball GT, Chōzenshū 4 follows up and goes so far as to fit all of GT into Age 789. A period of one year is baked into episodes 1 through 40, as Earth will explode if the Ultimate Dragon Balls are not returned within one year of a wish having been made with them.[12] Earth explodes in episode 40, definitively pushing the timeline into Age 790.[13] The following Tenka'ichi Budōkai in Dragon Ball GT episode 41 must then place on 07 May, 790, directly contradicting Chōzenshū 4's stated date of 07 May, 789 for this event.
Jaco the Galactic Patrolman and Dragon Ball Minus
Dragon Ball Super
Dragon Ball Super: Broly
