Contradictions and Revisions

Shenlong's First Two Summonings

FIXME: Guidebooks - Wish 1: 09 September, 749, Wish 2: 12 May, 750

Arrival of the Saiyans

Further information: Age 761 and Age 762

FIXME: Guidebooks - Raditz: 12 October, 761, Vegeta: 03 November, 762, Raditz estimates 1 year arrival for Vegeta, Vegeta arrives 1 month early. Approximately 11 months to get to Earth but the guidebooks give a spread of nearly 13 months.

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

Further information: Age 762

FIXME: Dragon Ball Chapter 363, Conversation held in 767, Cell implies another 24 years to complete his development, 791, Dragon Ball Chapter 358 establishes that Cell traveled from 788, Daizenshū 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

Further information: Age 767

In the original Weekly Shōnen Jump serialization[13] and initial tankōbon[14] 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[15], 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[16] (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.[17] Years later, when piecing together their timeline for Daizenshū 7, Caramel Mama revised the date of the Cell Games to 26 May,[18] correcting it to fit a more accurate passage of time from 12 May. Starting with the kanzenban releases[19], all subsequent Japanese printings of Dragon Ball use this revised date, including the Sōshūhen[20], 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 episode 86 forgoes this issue entirely, and never mentions a specific date.[21]

Dragon Ball GT

Further information: Ages 789 and 790

The timelines present in Dragon Ball GT: Perfect Files Vol. 1[22] and Chōzenshū 4[23] 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.[24] Earth explodes in episode 40, definitively pushing the timeline into Age 790.[25] The following Tenka'ichi Budōkai[26] 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.

Dragon Ball Super

Further information: Age 779, Age 780, and Age 781
