Contradictions
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 Cell's date 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]
