The Dragon World Timeline is the chronology of fictional events in the Dragon Ball franchise.

Dr. Slump uses the Gregorian Calendar.
Age 788, the only "Age" specifically cited in Dragon Ball.
Demon King Piccolo establishes 09 May as "Piccolo Day".
Future Trunks informs Son Goku that the Artificial Humans will appear on 12 May.
In revised editions of Dragon Ball, Cell announces that the Cell Games shall be held on 26 May.

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

Originally, in Dragon Ball chapter 389, Cell announces 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, 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 (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. Years later, when piecing together their timeline for Daizenshū 7, Caramel Mama revised the date of the Cell Games to 26 May,[1] correcting it to fit a more accurate passage of time from 12 May. All subsequent printings of Dragon Ball use this revised date, including the Sōshūhen, which was advertised as emulating Dragon Ball as it originally ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump.
