Any character from a non-canon product does NOT exist in the canon storyline and therefore cannot be intermixed.Īs a result, are omitted Broly, Turles, and all other Saiyans from the movies, since they are not canon and DO NOT exist in the series official storyline.
The movies never actually occurred in the series timeline (although they can be roughly placed in between events of the series if attempted to do so, but they are still by no means part of the official story). Therefore, theories of when the movies took place are all incorrect. If something is non-canon, it should NOT be intermixed with canon. This goes for all filler episodes produced by Toei Animation, all movies other than Battle of Gods (which was directly stated as canon by Toriyama), all OVAs except the 2008 Jump Super Tour Anime Special, “Heya! Son Goku and His Friends Return” (since Tarble was mentioned in Battle of Gods, he is canon, and therefore this OVA is canon), and the Dragon Ball Z 2015 movie, Dragon Ball Z: Revival of ‘F’ If something is said to be “non-canon” it means it never actually occurred in the original story of the manga. “Canon” is everything and everyone in the original storyline of the Dragon Ball manga made by Akira Toriyama and products simply stated as canon by him. In the world of Dragon Ball, there exists a canon story and its non-canon supplements. Honestly only fans think about canon in DB. Manga canon: Jaco The Galactic Patrolman -> DB manga (42 volumes) -> DBS (whatever version you like)Īlso, this shows GT and DBS on the same timeline.Īnd official DBS guide also showed GT as part of story, somehow.
Still, the safest solution that should please everyone would be: He was there before (he fell from snake way) While hell looks different, it's the same hell just redesigned because Goku said that it looks the same as always meaning:
#Is dragon ball gt canon movie#
So in DBS anime we have things like filler Yadratian designs, Mr Satan students, Tuffles or Saiyaman being movie star, while in the same time we have completely retconned hell with Frieza having no idea about entire fight with Buu I guess it's just because Toriyama writes DBS as manga sequel while TOEI try to make it anime sequel. The obvious problem with DBS is that it contradicts both anime and manga, so if we were to talk about canon, then DBS anime as a whole can't be canon in ANY way. There isn't "canon" and "non canon".īut if we ignore that, then I always considred GT as "anime canon" and DBS as "manga canon". GT is it's own canon, the movies are their own canon, Super is it's own canon, the Super manga is it's own canon, etc.ĭragon Ball doesn't have official canon. The Dragon Ball Super manga is also a continuation of the series, but the events that occur are drastically different than the anime.įor a place in time Battle of the Gods was considered THE canon, but with Super out which one is more canon than the other? And where does GT belong in all of this?ĭragon Ball is a huge franchise with multiple canons that interconnect at certain points, but then branch off into their own thing. The reason I bring all of this up is because if BotG undermines GT, but Super undermines BotG in certain degrees as well as RF, then at this point you would have to pick and choose what is the canon here. The same thing occurs with Resurrection F and Super with a lot more changes. So in that regard, that would mean Super's canon isn't necessarily the movie's canon. However if you look at Dragon Ball Super, the events play out a bit differently than Battle of the Gods albeit mostly the same. So Battle of the Gods was the moment where people considered GT dead from the main story as the events that take place undermine certain things that happened in GT early on. I don't like discussing canon with this series as I find it quite confusing and all over the place, but a thought just came into my mind when I was reading a GT topic elsewhere.
