@Arthur Morgan why are u asking him a question on someone else’s comment?
I think senzu beans can recover crushed balls, if not they could use the dragon balls to wish for more balls.
Nah, sense beans healed his n#+$ up good.
@@dragon1130 true but while they heal all physical wounds and can regrow lost limbs they'll never remove the mental scars ( which is why goku is still pretty stupid at least in book smarts ).
Fun fact: Fusion reborn was written to take place after the buu saga, but since the saga wasn't finished yet, the writers didn't know how it would end so they guessed. Obviously, they couldn't predict everything and got a lot wrong
The funniest part about this is that the writers at the time thought Vegeta would stay dead in hell: in a show with dragonballs and characters who nearly never stay dead :P
@andrewzhang9557 I mean Piccolo told Vegeta his body will be destroyed if he died right before his sacrifice. And in OG DB we were told no body=no ressuruction. So it made sense they believed Vegeta would stay dead
@@TheNeXuS_Lkrillin was blown up so how does that make sense 😂
@user-ve2wx8om6i Krillin was a good person when he died so he got to keep his body.... "Don't mess with us DB fans, we haven't watched the show"
These movies are like the mmpr movie, they take place outside continuity and reside in their own kind of universe
Didn't Toriyama say he thought of the movies as being in different dimensions/timelines? I don't think they were ever meant to be part of the canonical lore, but this is definitely an interesting breakdown either way and well researched
that's the explanation people use to justify them now

(Edit) Yeah I knew they were cannon, but they never show up much after the original Dragon Ball. They only show up in super twice to my knowledge once against Frost in the Tournament of Destroyers, and aginst Cell Max in Super hero.
They show up a bit in the Z movies though, making the movies feel linked together.

The most egregious thing about the old Broly movie is that Cell didn't detect the massive ki signature Broly was giving off and immediately throw hands.
None of other characters could feel Broly either, and the movie opens with him dusting the south galaxy. Goku only finds out because King Kai contacts him, and the others don't know until they get picked up by Paragus. So it's not much of a stretch to say that Cell wouldn't have sensed anything either.
@@Tophadoodledoo Broly didn't destroy South Galaxy. The movie literally takes place in it.
@concept5631 the movie literally opens with a whole galaxy being erased (in visual). The English dub narration follows this with "The South Galaxy has been shattered... by a Super Saiyan." Might be different in other languages, I'd have to check. Either way it's implied that Broly wrecked up the place. And North Kaio (King Kai) is the only character shown in the movie that senses it. No one on Earth that had Ki sensing could sense it; so Cell not sensing it tracks.
Either Broly's power still wasn't enough to span across space, or the other characters had the capability to sense that far out. I'd go with the latter, and say that it's in part for the fact that none of them were actively feeling for energy out in space, and possibly for the fact that Earth's population has enough ki within its population to mask something coming from afar.
Why I personally believe the bojack movie can be canon: 1) One of the options you presented occured 2) Piccolo has a clothes beam, and he had a red belt in super hero, which is canon 3) The sword was with vegeta and Bulma meaning they probably fixed it for him and were waiting to give it back to him. Nailed it.
Can, but it isn't.
@@BeingOfEvil0it doesn't make a difference either way. The movies exist and if someone wants to (or doesn't) want to believe they're canon, what does it matter?
Same thing with Z Broly for the clothes beam thing (minus the fact that it just isn't canon)
Did y'all forget piccolo used clothes beam in the Saiyan saga
Also the cell saga on gohan

Damn that makes sense. Except instead of Kararot he'd be screaming Turles.
@@chaserred4155 he could mistake turles for goku because of their hair.
It could make sense if Broly hears the name Kakarot and then sees Turles grabbing him to stab him and leave him for death and never heard the name Turles
I think broly is motivation has always made sense people always make fun of him for baby goku but think about this
You are a new born you hear this little bastard crying then accompanied by being stabbed then your planet getting blown up
Alotta trauma for a new born and seeing the baby causing that same crying To echo which might have haunted him constantly as it would remind him of all the terrible shit that happened as a new born
He would want to silence that crying
It's not that stupid it's well I dont know what to call it but it's sad
It's much more emotionally sad
Then super broly is

Isn’t Turles and a Goku around the same age
I love how the Saibamen feel like your average non-canon minion created for a random DBZ game from 20 years ago
I suppose it’s worth noting that the “false super Saiyan” from Lord Slug was supposed to be actual super Saiyan.
It’s just that the movie was released before the design for SSJ was finalised.
The reason Goku is blond in SSJ is because the manga is in black and white and making Goku’s hair white made the inking process much easier.
But it’s entirely possible that Goku’s hair was intended to stay black which is what the animators for Lord Slug went with.
Super Saiyans debut was only about a week after Lord Slug released during March of 1991. I imagine it had more to do with not spoiling the transformation before it made its official manga debut. It wouldn't make sense to show off a new form in a what if movie before it's actual debut in the source material.
@@broom673 Given the lead time for making a movie is a *lot* longer than for a single manga chapter, it's entirely likely that Toriyama hadn't finalized his character design for Super Saiyan yet when Lord Slug went into production.
@@RedXlV Or he was being sneaky and deliberately gave the movie producers the wrong description of Super Saiyan.
I'm sure someone mentioned this, but another reason Broly can't happen is because Goku and Gohan pledged to stay in Super Saiyan until the Cell Games.
Well there's also the fact that blonde hair in japan iirc makes you look like a delinquent and that's probably why, like chichi forced them to go base
That could have been a error by the people who wrote the movie forgetting about it
Kinda like how in super broly bardock is story is different then the one frieza in z remembers in manga and anime
@@gabrielchastain6091 It's not an error. Super Bardock is intentionally redesigned just like Broly and Paragas were.
@@dustmasterflex1541 I don't think you understood my point
Supers bardock is story and ending was not in the z manga or anime
As it was the old bardock
Frieza remembers bardock as he looks at goku
How could he have seen bardock if super bardock never confronted him
@@gabrielchastain6091 your right that was old bardock when toryiama only had a few plot points for the character that last scene we get of him seeing the future is what gave the character more freedom in story writing even if it wasn’t realized then .the super bardock movie which was green lit for canon had it to where (him being in the actual *past* )created the “super sayain legend”.with him defeating freiza’s ancestor. they never retcon’d it in the broly movie despite it not showing and we definitely would of heard feedback or answers about it. It’s not the same end as manga and z but the *point to all of this* is they built on more of what we knew and tied up *loose ends with lore* .without making crazy plot holes
Edit: random - but ever seen a story from different view points ? That’s the best I can explain it is ,they could’ve showed us all those scenes with super bardock but they didn’t because *they didn’t need to* it is the broly movie after all . A game series I can bring up that uses this type of story writing in their older games(no need to now they’ve tied up a lot of lore ends throughout the years) is resident evil 2, 3 , outbreak all games with different characters and story’s do thier own thing within the same span of a day but it all links together in the end . The remakes even did a great job hinting at all the action going down within the city my favorite being in re3 remake when tyrell said he saw a “group of survivors heading towards the bridge” on the camera which in lore as re3 story is going down the same time outbreaks story is taking place with those characters trying to find a way out of the city and others completing personal objectives it’s stuff like this that I love, its like a big puzzle. But that’s the way I see how they write db story it’s definitely not as polished and despite.... sometimes it’s like they really just throw things in there just because or story clearly being rushed . Buu saga from z gets a small pass but you can tell how watered down the story got after the cell saga (which is where toryiama wanted the series to end)
Anyways thank you for reading lol my b if it sounds like a rant it’s not ♥️
Meanwhile In An Alternative Universe: *"Why The Tv Series Can't Happen"*
Wait, so there is a even worse universe then ours?
“Why frieza cant happen”
Considering all the filler? It'd be pretty easy to explain.
Sounds like GT
"why the manga cant happen"
I feel like Turles and Cooler can come back to canon.
Turles can be a Saiyan scientist that was commonly mistaken for Bardock (a fun nod to Bardock’s scientist origin) who engineered a Saiyan fruit that boosted the user’s strength, but wasn’t powerful enough and was ridiculed for it. Have him be exiled or off-world like the others and he eventually perfected the fruit and became a pirate.
Cooler can just be Freiza’s brother or a member of his race, and act like a slightly better version. Make him cool and calm that opposes his brother for what he’s done, then kill him off and make metal cooler.
It's too late tho, frieza's character ark seems to be nearing it's end, a late brother introduction would be ehh. Cooler could maybe show up as a different universe's frieza race like frost. But he can't be in the main universe since cold and frieza were the strongest of their kind. Turles may be able to, but having broly already be that "hidden saiyan that escaped" only really works because paragus is trapped their with no tech. Turles as a scientist and even just normal saiyan would probably be to smart/healthy to just pop up now. Janemba as he is could work, slug too's weak (although a stronger universe namekian would be rad), android 13 could be fun filler, bojack also feels like a tad too late. With things like multiple universe now being a thing, a lot of these characters could be reworked and fleshed out better.
@@Lokisif34 they could have cooler get his revenge after black frieza is defeated, only that doesn't make sense because frieza has been dead for a very long time before rof so why wouldn't he get his revenge then
@@dankerbell Yeah exactly the issue. If he were to be a background threat frieza regaining the frieza force would make no sense, since cooler would just have taken over. Maybe you make cooler the younger brother? Where now frieza realizes the importance of allies so he goes to train his brother who while not having the same potential still gets up there.
i guess they could just not make cooler get revenge and have him and frieza team up
Those are great ideas, honestly. Maybe have Cooler be not as into the depravity stuff as King Cold or Frieza, so that's why he's not the favorite. But, he'll still feel obliged to avenge his family.
The real problem with Cooler's Revenge is that Cooler hears of Freeza's death and wants to avenge him, but not his father at all who would be killed by Trunks at this point.
He probably heard Goku killed him on namek & prob had no clue freeza was still alive or that him & king cold went to earth for revenge thus being killed by future trunks. If he did hear about freeza being murder by trunks, he would prob hear it was by a super Saiyan & nobody knew who trunks was until he explained to Goku (and piccolo heard too) so he could have just assumed it was goku
No that wouldn't be a problem at all, because coolers revenge takes place long before trunks even arrives. King cold wouldn't be dead yet, and they wouldn't have met trunks yet. It doesn't take place after trunks
So explain Goku being on Earth@@sanchezo95
@Kravenrogue you do know the movies take place in a whole other timeline/universe right? Goku leaves yardrat earlier in the movie than he did in the main timeline. He returns to earth long before trunks arrives, so what ever events that happen in the show after frieza saga, don't correlate with the movie, they're not suppose to, the movies are a what if or change of events in the show, and then going from there
@@sanchezo95 so you are correcting your own coment? Thats what I was trying to say, the Movies are not in the same Main timeline
I like how they tried setting up an alternative story line and they completely said fuck that with cooler
I think that the first cooler movie took place in a timeline where Frieza got killed by the spirit bomb.

It's funny how despite all of the OG DBZ movies not being canon, characters like Broly (before Super), Cooler, and even Janemba ended up becoming well-known and iconic within the franchise throughout the years.
I kinda want to see them become cannon in some way like maybe a mini arc of them going up against baddies just to train kinda like that room where kid goku goes to the past and meets young roshi so they reintroduce that room and then they face villains as training and guess who shows up instead of frezia and buu cooler and janeba sure it wouldn’t make sense but it’s like that would be cool

Wow, I love this breakdown so much, I never considered that some of the movies may just be alternate timelines, awesome man!
Appreciate you!
It's funny, because all of these movies came out at times where they "could" potentially make sense, but are essentially immediately retconned by the plot moving too quickly/in a different direction until Bojack, when Toriyama finally did a seven-year timeskip, giving Bojack some room to breathe.
Nope, they were never supposed to fit in the timeline.

To be fair houses can be pretty rowdy
The way Wrath of the Dragon ends is very interesting and I find the movie to have the most canonical potential cause Trunks receiving the sword from Tapion could just be how he gets it in the main timeline, while future Trunks is from another timeline, hence having received the sword in another way, possibly from Tapion, possibly not, but still not necessarily implying that the same fight against the giant monster thingy has taken place (yet) in future trunks' timeline as well.
It's definitely still possible, Tapion could've just simply died by the androids or killed himself before losing control over Hirudegarn, thus killing them both
@@casuallectures2655 Exactly 👉🏻
Even watching this video, I was like "Wait, he didn't give any reason whatsoever that says that this movie can't exist." "We have confirmed multiverse now and this is how trunks gets the sword in main timeline". His entire point of "That means android are coming" being why it's not cannon is null and void.
Edit: typo
Its non canon because who the heck would kill Hirudegarn? Tapion couldnt off himself in that condition struggling to keep it in him. Trunks also wouldnt, so Hirudegarn would be released and killed off everything.
We also have no confirmation that Hirudegarn would actually die if they killed Tapion, just sayin.
@@EmeraldFatalisyeah, i didn’t understand why he thought the nostalgic nod completely voided the canon of it
just because he gets his sword doesn’t mean the androids are coming? legit i thought it was pretty obvious this is an alternate version of how MAIN timeline trunks would get his sword, not future
I always took the movies as a way for the writers to use alternate ideas and designs. Cooler is basically an alternate frieza design. Turles is an alternate Vegeta. 13 is an alternate idea for the Android saga. Janemba is an alternate Buu. Etc.
13 and 16 even have the same face. Makes for some nice theories given 16's backstory
Yeah the movies had a lot of what if:
Garlic Jr: What if Piccolo and Goku never become friends and Piccolo doesn't give a damn about Gohan.
Turles: What if there was an evil Goku.
Dr. Willow: What if the evil doc creates something other than androids.
King Slug: What if Kami never split and arrive at another planet instead of Earth.
Cooler: What if Frieza had another brother.
Android 13, 14, 15: What if Dr. Gero had more time off his sleeve to create more cyborgs to wreck havoc, if Goku never had the virus disease.
Broly: If Goku had a Saiyan rival that pissed whenever he cries.
Bojack: If King Kai's planet had a secret skeleton underneath its closet.
Salza: If Cooler got henchmen.
Icarus: If Gohan had a pet.
Bio Broly: If an android becomes incomplete rather than complete and is released.
Janemba: If Hell is so corrupted it wreck the fabric of space. If the Kaioshin doesn't exist. If Majin Buu had a cousin.
Hirudegarn: If Cell is giant size, how Future Trunks got his sword in the main timeline.
Beerus: How the God of Destruction got awaken.
Whis: When an angel exist.
Tarble: Vegeta got a brother?
Golden Frieza: Goes to show that even Frieza could go super just like in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
Slim Ginyu: How Captain Ginyu still exist.
Hitler: Somehow Germany exist in the Dragon Ball world.
@@VOAN I like golden Frieza.
The guy never had to work for anything his entire life. He never had to train. Everything was a given for him. And then he gets defeated by someone who can control his power.
So Frieza trains, for the first time in his life he doesn't get things handed to him. And he unlocks a new level. But his arrogance comes to him and the instant he gets stronger, he stops. It's basically his pride and arrogance that stops Frieza from becoming a threat on a multiversal level.
Bojack is definitely the hardest one to debunk. Out of all of the movies it's probably the only one that can be considered canon.
god tier album as profile picture
i think Cooler and Wrath of the Dragon fit decently enough, honestly
Dead Zone, Cooler 1, Bojack, and Wrath of the Dragon. I mean these one only really have minor plot holes that could also explain away with a few recones.
@@zero1zerolast393 Dead Zone (conflicts with the beginning of Z) and Cooler 1 (Goku just doesn't forget to go Super Saiyan) can't happen. Bojack and Wrath of the Dragon are the only ones where you can argue that they can be canon to the main series.
I hope the trend of the Super Broly movie, of remaking and cannonizing movie characters becomes a thing. Namely I want a whole ass arc surrounding Janemba and the Underworld. It makes sense that we have Angels and a hierarchy overseeing things- its only natural to have the mirror opposite baddy faction to oppose them.
@@okagron Cooler 1 can happen with in the training for the Androids to arrive, Goku not using his full power right away until he needs it is something he ALWAYS does even in the cannon of the show.
Dead Zone however can't happen because it directly conflicts with the time line.

Broly crying
Eh, it was a laundry day. lmao
Lol
The movies are canon just in a different timeline. Toryama has confirmed every movie is in a separate timeline to the rest of the series. This is an argument of Continuity not Canonicity.
Canon refers to anything that works in the universe. For example if Goku shows up in My Hero and Ki is explained as a quirk that not everyone has, then that goes against the rules of Dragon Ball meaning it can’t be canon. If Goku showed up in My Hero and Ki is explained as something everyone has, means this can possible if it’s explained as a Megaversal convergence (basically the Multiverses Multiverse).
Continuity deals with timeline issues, abilities, characters appearances and power scaling. Say for example Goku transforms into SSJ3 and shakes an entire dimension (confirmed universal sized) against Janemba and only managed to do it again when in SSJG, or how Deadzone shows Gohan to Bulma and Krillin before DBZ started. Those were timeline and power related issues meaning they were continuity issues.
The movies all have the same problems of power and timeline related issues and never any reality breaking issues. It’s set in place that there’s multiple timelines based on the 6 time rings in DBS. So for GT and the movies to be canon all you need to do is fit them into the 6 timelines that exist. So the movies are Canon just not part of the main continuity.
@@loganbreau882 TL'DR. Reply in 2 hourse so I can come back and read this.
Vegeta: 3 Whole Androids? Never going to let the boy live this one down
Imagine Cell waiting while the Squad is clapping metal cooler lmao
Knowing Cell, all they needed to do was to give him a call "oh hey, there is this guy who wants revenge for Frieza. You mind if we beat him before coming to the fight"
And Cell would just be like: "sure, go ahead. I'll watch."
In Cell's mind he is the perfect being. Nothing could defeat him. Even if the gang has to go through some power up to defeat Cooler, that would still be weaker than him. If they get stronger, the fight will be more interesting and more fun. If they die, Cell doesn't have to bother doing that himself. So it's a win-win for Cell.
Dead Zone: Everyone's outfit is exactly the same as in the main series, which makes it unlikely.
Bojack Unbound: Everyone's outfit is slightly different than the main series, which makes it unlikely.
*visible confusion*
Insert random movie: this is unlikely which makes it unlikely
To be fair he put a ? just in case
I mean the SAME cloths 1 year later is unlikely. Where as in Bojack it’s being in the middle of an arc is weird to have the cloths different
Bojack movie is confirmed to happen after Cell saga. It is said in the movie that Trunks came back to tell the others he had defeated the androids in his timeline. Just like he was about to do when Cell came to him. This was the point in time where Trunks killed Cell in his timeline, and Cell killed Trunks in Cell’s original timeline.
@@grydon6422 trunks' hair was short when he killed cell but long in BoJack, unless trunks waited an entire year after killing Cell just to come back when only a few weeks has pass in the present is weird.
For the Broly one, I'd like to take TFS' interpretation of:
Trunks: "What about Cell?!"
Vegeta: "Fuck 'em."
My favorite thing about the TFS interpretation of the movies was the Super Android 13 one.
“And that’s when the prince realized that when you grab a bull by the horns… sometimes he’ll take you for a ride.”

All of the movies can happen, so long as they're separate timelines with separate events happening.
For instance Garlic's Breadening could happen in a timeline where Raditz doesn't show up, or shows up at a later point.
World's Strongest would be in a timeline where Piccolo doesn't die during the Saiyan Saga.
I really want them to do a story where the timelines bleed into each other or something.
Db university:"But you're not Cannon."
Vegeta: "I don't need to be Cannon, I'm king."
"Along with the trend of goku forgetting that he is a supersayan"
To be fair, he does tend to forget it even in the canon
Nah he just starting small and working uo to it
I can see goku doing that
Nah you're confusing cannon Goku who likes to take his fights slow, with dumb tag Goku who forgets everything

That is false unless you consider Dragon Ball Z a different dimension because it has garlic jr.
@Failingpepper 11 right. The anime exclusive should take priority as the continuity for the anime. Just like super does with blue evolution and copy vegeta.
You are 100% right that scream from goku to ssj3 is super underrated.
Great video format dude. I love the recap of the section of story that each movie overlaps.
In the movie timeline, Goku went straight home after Namek. He never crashed on an alien planet, trained for a year in ki control, learned instant transmission OR, most importantly, never learned how to turn super at will.
I think that fixes many of the movie timeline's issues.
Goku uses instant transmission in multiple movies tho. Let's say he just spent much LESS time there. Perhaps since he is stronger in this timeline due to multiple zenkais from Tree of Might and Lord Slug, his spirit bomb actually kills Frieza, making King Cold come to Earth sooner.
I think that’s a good explanation for the first cooler movie. Second movie is when it gets weird since Goku doesn’t use instant transmission in the first movie yet he can in the second movie. Maybe he did crash, the Yardrats offer him training but instead of Goku agreeing to stay, he chooses to do that at a later time and just goes to earth right away when they ask him. So when Cooler 2 happens, maybe that’s after he goes back and does their training?
Id say he does travel to yardrat. But as soon as he learns the instant transmission. He teleports back to earth 😂
@@Deathpool_04I think it’s fair to say that the writers didn’t know full super saiyan control and instant transmission would be a thing around the time they made the first cooler movie
@@HatredInTheFlesh Obviously, that’s the real reason. I just meant why he doesn’t have them in universe.
I always figured Cooler and revenge of cooler happened in a timeline in which the spirit bomb killed Frieza which resulted in Goku never having to go super Saiyan on namek. This would explain why they make such a big show of him going super Saiyan on earth, as it would be the first time he accesses the form in that timeline.
That would explain why Vegeta isn’t around. No one wished him back.
@@potsdam28 but he is back in the second cooler movie.
Or maybe Goku hadn't mastered super sayain yet? That seems way more likely. He still needs anger as the trigger. Plus Cooler makes mention of the Super sayain so that throws it out.
But cooler mentioned how a super saiyan defeated Frieza.
@@milowolfface9392 He was able to go Super Saiyan effortlessly for Trunks, though. So that rules out Cooler's Revenge taking place after Trunks arrives.
This was totally worth 49 minutes. Thank you!!!
People really do have short attention spans
You already addressed this in the _Cooler's Revenge_ part, but yeah, Piccolo canonically stretched his limbs (and got big) in _Dragon Ball._
The technique was much later named "Demon Hand", incidentally.
I’ve always considered “Cooler’s Revenge” to take place in an alternate timeline where Goku was able to defeat Frieza with the Spirit Bomb
But then he never attains SSJ, and if the cooler movie was his awakening…. Weak
@@ae_sko88 no, you could say his power level was different. Makes him a bit weaker in SSJ.
I place it in future trunks’ timeline before all that android stuff and the heart attack happen. It is said that when goku returned to earth, he killed frieza and king cold. So I like to think in this timeline, goku is responsible for killing cooler’s family, not trunks because this is in future trunks’ timeline before shit went down
@@paytonallen1027 that can’t happen tho considering goku when he returns to earth has instant transmission and has complete control of Ssj but goku in the cooler movie can’t transform at will and he should have IT if it was in trunks’s timeline
@@Jon-jt9fy I didn’t mean weak as in his power level, I meant his motivation to transform at all

Why did he not cover the hatchiyak movie?
The thing I love abt Broly is that, he's proof that " The Legendary super saiyan awakens after a millenium" isn't bs, and that it would've actually been able to kill Frieza's whole family without a sweat, thats why Frieza was so afraid. It even beat Goku and Vegeta's SSJB
Well Super power scaling is messed up.
Except for Whis and Beerus who consistently remain "on the next level", and Zeno, everyone else is BS.
For example, Jiren is stronger than his G.O.D., who in turn is on the same level as Beerus. But Goku overpowers Jiren using perfected ultra instinct, while also being severely outclassed by Beerus later while training in said state.
At the beginning of Super, everyone ia Universe busting level and untouchable by anyone outside their little group, after the tournament of power (after several massive power boosts), planet busting level becomes impressive again and many, many randos get on the level of Perfected SSB G&V and UI Goku.
Frankly, power scaling remains somewhat consistent only up until right beforethe Goku Black saga, after that they're all over the place.
All this to say, don't take those bits seriously.
@@Anankin12 I think you are confused. You are talking about DBZ like it was DBS.
At he beginning of Z, every Z warrior was already way stronger than all humans, and after Saiyan saga all of them had the power to completely obliterate whole planets. If that's not enough, Cell states he can errase the whole solar system, and Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Gotenks are way stronger than him. Heck, even Buu was strong enough to open portals trough dimensions with his raw power, and in his fight with Vegito universe started to collapse. All of that happens while, somehow, Tenshinhan is strong enough to stop Cell in his second form and damage Buu with a KiKoHo and somehow all Z warriors are strong enough to figth toe to toe against Cell juniors. Power scale has been a bitch since Namek saga lmao
@@crossknight1490 yep the Namek saga really blew that whole power thing out of proportion to crazy levels. It went from the strongest peeps having about 10000 power to millions real fucking quick
@@crossknight1490 Kikoho is an op move that multiplies your power by ?, Buu isn't hard to "damage", he got penetrated by bullets, and they're not all fighting toe-to-toe, Vegeta and Trunks are the only ones who actually seem like they're winning, the humans and Piccolo are just too weak and Goku is exhausted
@@mist0804 Not just that, but while power output stays pretty consistent in DB, durability fluctuates wildly; hence the ever-stupid "SSJ4 can be cut by glass" thing; characters seem to skyrocket or rapidly plummet in toughness as the plot demands, even if they're still batting a thousand in terms of sheer attacking power. Anybody could potentially be scuffed by anyone else if the plot calls for it, it's the absurd numbers of the attack itself that DB seems to have down pat.
The movies have always been something of a separate timeline. That’s why I enjoyed the xenoverse games. The fact that your patrolling different timelines means you can experience these movies and they can sort of exist. But the games are obviously non canon too. It’s just a lot of fun. I enjoy the one mission where goku and vegeta are trying to become super Saiyan gods but go super saiyan 4 instead and don’t know if that’s the god form.
What mission is that because I never fully completed the game but that sounds awesome

19:05 Fun fact! The Return of Cooler actually has Dende as the new guardian of earth MONTHS before it happened in the manga. Honestly kind of hilarious.
Bigger fight
DBZA made probably the best joke of this I could think of. The reason the z-warriors are ON namek is because Dende dropped them a message when he got to earth asking them to visit him **SO THEY FLEW TO NAMEK** where he should be. Whole thing ends on Dende screaming from the lookout "Where the hell are they?!?!"

I really want Bojack to be canon, only because it makes Teen Gohan in the Orange Gi canon
I gotta admit, bojack and wrath of the dragon to me feel like they existed in the main canon. Well, the earlier ones sorta did but it doesn't seem as interesting. I could've easily enjoyed a 13 episode saga about Bojack and his crew and whatnot, and it then skipping years into the gohan we wanted not the neutered one. With wrath of the dragon, lots of elements fell into GT except the wierd decision to scrap the sword, and the dragon fist move is really awesome.
@@oneandonlysound3453 running away

it probably is so many reasons why
@alligator lizards majin vegeta?
This is a really good video concept and the execution is super well done!!
17:58 ah yes the segment return of "kuler"
Fun thing about Dende being in movie 6 is that it happened 8 months before it happened in the manga. Yes the manga not the anime. Meaning that either Toriyama told the animators that far in advance, they guessed and got lucky, or they just said screw it and Toriyama liked the idea that much.
It's probably the last one. Toriyama doesn't get too hung up on cannon and lore
Also when they got dendr gohan was older he already went through the room of spirit in time. I got the part in the video where he said that
Bardock was included in a single panel flashback in the manga just because Toriyama really liked the tv special
@JoGeJo guess my memory was off lol
I also remember reading somewhere that we got vegito instead of gogeta because toriyama planned for a goku and vegita fusion. With most of the movies having that element i think the guys that made movies actually had some knowledge of what toriyama was going to do
Canon or not, they’re still entertainment for me
That’s all that matters
Hey Star Platinum how are you

How dare you enjoy non-canon!?!?!
I love this video so much THANK YOU it’s so funny, logical, and just great 😊 I enjoyed every minute of it
Man I thought Dead Zone was gonna be one of the harder ones to debunk and you did it so fast. Now I gotta watch the rest of the video to see all those finer details for the rest! I think Bojack or the last one with the Super Dragon fist were the most feasible before this.
“With the newly awakened 16 in tow, the androids begin their search for goku who is now awake & enjoying a nice day at the mall........WHAT THE FU-“ 😂😂
17: It's time to hunt for the now sickly Goku. I hear he's enjoying himself at the mall right now.
18: That doesn't make sense, brother.
17: ....I'll be needing a boat ride if I ever get to make a wish to a wish-granting being capable of restoring 7 universes.
18: Restoring multiple universes when the universe is everything anyway? That'll be the day.
The transitions between the main story & the segway into the movies were hilarious. There's so much going against them for them to actually take place during the main timeline. So the alternate timeline theory makes more sense.
Last time I checked the theory was confirmed (I think)

this is very satisfying as I was always very confused by the movies. Thank you!!!
I feel like Wrath of the Dragon can still happen. Think of it like this; the events of the android saga have already been dealt with thanks to Trunks intervention. The younger trunks now no longer has a need to do the same things the previous one did. Him getting the sword is just when it happens in this new 'saved' timeline.
This guy's narrator voice is pretty underrated.

The stretching arm trick was actually used in dragon ball once with Piccolo Jr and Goku’s fight however the movies use them much more

As a child seeing the movies on CN i always wondered why they literally forgot Cell existed for three movies, then after seeing how all the characters acted, i just assumed at all the movies were not canon.
As Toriyama always told , movies represent a what if scenarios, alternative Dragonball World. So there just no Cell, like at all. Instead of Cell, Gero basement kept androids 13,14,15. Which are mechanical just like 16. This makes some sense since Gero was building that kind of cyborgs previously and had trust issues with 17 and 18.
@@alexzero3736 Honestly, it makes a lot of sense that most of Gero's creations pre-17 and 18 were mechanical. If he had previously worked with creating cyborgs, he would certainly have developed better methods of keeping his creations under control, especially if he not only planned on making them super powerful, but also made them part of a plan in which they die in order to create a stronger android. He obviously didn't account for the contempt 17 and 18 felt towards him for taking their lives away, nor their natural need for freedom and aversion to neing given orders due to previously being humans.

26:00 The thing about the "picnics" is a cultural one; the movies were released each year around May Jun and July, because of school vacations in japan. Broly's movie clearly depicts the Z warriors enjoying Hanami festival a flower viewing party that takes place at the end of March to early May, cherry trees bloom all over Japan and people eat and party under. That scene is the most Japanese part of any DB animated content.

Great work with this video clip for three years ago now.
Reciting the stories leading up to the movies made me remember how awesome the Buu saga is. No pointless filler, it goes from punch to punch. Only one villain, who just keeps getting stronger. Everyone gets powered up and has a try at defeating Buu, and after losing gets absorbed.
Doesn’t the fact that the entire reason Cooler was there to get revenge in the first place was because he was a character from another movie that can’t happen also contribute to the fact his second movie can’t?
lol right. That sould've been an obvious thing to mention, but they probably didn't want to seem redundant.
Especially since linking movies together as an alternate timeline was something stressed throughout the entire video.

Cooler is canon, i looked it up, king cold mentions him
@@AwholePieMadeForYou Cold never mentioned him at all. Cooler was never mentioned by Cold or Frieza..
Chichi was already pregnant with Goten by the time Goku went to fight the Androids, given the dates of both the Cell Games and Goten’s official birthday

@@ShaimingLong crashing in
Time for us to get Piccolo III, considering the Piccolo in DBZ is already the son of the original Piccolo.
The reason Wrath of the Dragon can't happen is actually much much simpler. At the end of the movie, Trunks gets Tapion's sword, and it never shows it again, not even in Super.
It did, however, show up in the GT original intro, right near before the group shot eheb the intro ends. Toei apparently completely intended the last DBZ film to be canon alongside GT during both their development; especially since Video's Great Saiyawoman appears in the Super 17 arc. The sword from Tapion was intended to make adult Present Trunks much more like the vastly more popular and well-liked Future Trunks, aside from the obvious resemblance. However, they scrapped this idea very late, so his sword in the GT intro is the only animated remnant. Anyways, doesn't matter, it's all non-canon now anyways.
Off, not to mention the dragon fist in gt and in wrath of the dragon
Perhaps Present Trunks just wanted to keep Tapion’s Sword as a memento in the same way Goku keeps the 4-Star Dragon Ball. Perhaps he didn’t want to taint it with even a single drop of blood or break it like Future Trunks broke his sword with Present Artificial Human #18.
Present Trunks doesn’t HAVE to use Tapion’s Sword for it to potentially exist...it could possibly be hanging on his bedroom wall somewhere, possibly above his bed before he goes to sleep every night.
Clothing’s
It could be Souvenir,but yeah i absolutely love Wrath of the Dragon,Dragon fist was the best move Goku had
I’m sure somebody’s already done it, but I’d love to see someone do a theoretical readjustment of the main timeline/movies to allow them to be canon/able to happen.
9:57 wait that's weird. Wouldn't there be a three year gap in time after the sayain arc and before the android arch begins? Its plausible that goku fought Turtles after Trunk's warning from the future
nope. Because then Goku would be like, "haha super sayain go brrrrrrrrr"
