Also piccolo stretchy arms (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.
@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.
@@TophadoodledooI think it’s like the case where goku couldn’t sense anybody on earth in the Moro arc until krillin raised his ki. So what I think happened is broly was really far away and goku and the gang wasn’t paying attention and they couldn’t sense ki to to well back then
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
@@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 ♥️
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
@@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 ).
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
@@levievil9220 Cooler is locked away at the moment and Janemba hasn’t been in introduced yet my point is there gonna be in the canon eventually due to them being fan favorites
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
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?
@@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
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 My friend got his ear blown off and then he left me and my dad is a meanie but everyone loves super broly for some damn reason but makes fun of z broly * p.s I don't hate super broly or his backstory I'm just making a point*
I love how the Saibamen feel like your average non-canon minion created for a random DBZ game from 20 years ago. Edit: If you want to say something about Four-Star, go in the replies.
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.” “And that’s when the time traveler realized that his sword was about as useless as a screen door on a submarine.” “And that’s when the green man realized that when you suplex a robot, you’d better… ah, what the hell am I doin’?”
@@Webshooters1 I work at Starbucks. The first thing I showed my manager when I started working there was Dr. Briefs saying that Cappuccino isn’t Coffee during the Muffin Button scene. Oh, I’m also working on blueprints for a legit Muffin Button that some multi-millionaires could get installed into their homes until it becomes more affordable to make.
But knowing what a terrible dad Goku kinda is, that totally checks out as something he'd do. He'd probably consider bad guys trying to steal it Gohans training.
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.
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.
@@milowolfface9392 He was able to go Super Saiyan effortlessly for Trunks, though. So that rules out Cooler's Revenge taking place after Trunks arrives.
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.
@@HappyBeezerStudios the problem is that Cell would probably wanna join them to test his strength too. Cell wanted to kill Goku by his own hand. His Saiyan pride would not have wanted something else to kill him, so he'd offer to hop along
@@HappyBeezerStudiosyou forget that they had no idea Cooler was back and on Namek. Hence, they wouldn't have told Cell. I know, we all think we are smarter than we actually are.
Return of Cooler's placement is a mess (duh, the entire video is dedicated to pointing that out). Dende doesn't become the new guardian until after Cell becomes perfect, yet Trunks is nowhere to be seen and Vegeta clearly hasn't been to the time chamber yet. Chances are the movie somehow takes place just before Cell absorbs 17, which essentially means Piccolo should be the strongest person there. As for the subsequent movie, Super Android 13, at least that one could arguably be placed as a what-if scenario where Cell never appears, Goku recovers, and then they destroy 17 and 18 as a team without ever needing to use the time chamber.
@@doubledownpleasegosubtotte4274 your not sudjesting wrath of the dragon takes place during the cell games right? Goku litteraly uses ssj3 and gotenks arround too Its after the buu saga
@@mikeexits the mysterious youth was what the narrator called Trunks before he introduced himself to goku in the show after killing Frieza with his sword So yea just a small pun
12:43 The Namekian stretchy arm technique was first uses by Piccolo in his fight against Goku in the World Tournament. It's not a movie exclusive, merely a callback to Dragon Ball (the original anime).
Thank you I've been searching for this comment. I think you should not be allowed to make dragon ball content if you skipped the literal first half of the series 😭
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.
Akira Toriyama has stated that the DB movies take place in separate "what if" dimensions. Great video, all backed by the greatest DB authority of them all.
@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.
I definitely agree that the Bojack Movie felt like the most canon, since it was after the cell saga, Gohan unlocking Ssj2, Goku is dead, and future trunks returning to visit after a couple of months. Shame that it isn’t canon, it would’ve made sense.
@@jordandennis6794 wth you talking about they remade the entire dialogue they didnt steal shit. The only thing they didnt change was the animation and they couldnt change that
There is no Dragon Ball Z manga. The manga was called Dragon Ball from Goku’s appearance in the woods as a kid to Goku flying away with Oob at the end of the series
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
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.
@@randybobandy9828 They were but they failed lol. Like with gogeta fusion movie Fusion Reborn they just took guesses not knowing what would happen in the end of buu saga since it was lowkey or high key right before the end of buu saga they released the movie
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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*
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.
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
@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
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.
@jellytheskeleton4559 yeah theres a different version of goku called xeno goku and in his timeline he experienced the movies and then gt compared to our goku who didnt get the movies and then super
Maybe goku could've used instant transmission to get back to earth after learning it, but before learning how to control ssj, that could explain why goku would need a push to go ssj vs cooler and why goku can use instant transmission vs mecha cooler
“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.
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
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.
@@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?
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.
It was actually agaisnt Krillin if I recall it right. He used it to grabs krillin leg... But you could also be right, Piccolo and Goku's fight was huge!
Super Android 13 actually makes perfect sense if it's the timeline the Trunks that Cell killed was traveling to. Think about it we have A) Dead Dr Gero B) The androids defeated (judging by their casual atmosphere) C) Not discovered the underground lair D) No Cell This is a timeline where Trunks vaccinated Goku, 17 and 18 showed up, but with the help of Trunks they managed to defeat them. Trunks hangs out on Earth a little bit, then this movie happens. With the experience he gained fighting all these Androids, Trunks goes back to his future and defeats his 17 and 18, then he tries to come back to this timeline to tell everyone the good news, but instead he's ambushed by the Cell we know and love. The Trunks in the Super Android 13 movie is the same Trunks we see Cell kill in his backstory. That Trunks even used his sword to try and fight Cell like the one in this movie does.
Basicly trunks who killed by Cell is killing android with emergency switch, so he don't training and his sword never broken because even they kill android without fighting. That's why he is no match with Cell. But i agree with you, if trunks killed by Cell after comeback from past, after he say good news, and finally help face again 13,14,& 15. That android 13 movie can be Canon.
Wait, in the movie at the beginning 17 and 18 killed Dr. Gero. So basically this movie should have happened BEFORE 17 and 18 were defeated like you said.
jomegadude Definitely one of the best additions to the series and was so much superior compared to original Broly movie series. That is how you properly write a script to fit in with a pre-existing storyline.
@@flamingcat1101 No. The story itself was the problem. Terrible writing and plot. And the characterization of Broly was awful. Super is how you do it right.

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.

Meh it's obvious with inconsistent power levels and how gohan fights bojack without first going super saiyan 2 while goku is dead. They are their own timeline within a saga
the janemba one only makes sense if it's a alternate timeline where Goku beat fat buu as SSJ3, instead of just stalling him hoping goten and trunks would save the world for a change
its so plausible it hurts. i placed fusion reborn after the buu saga it makes the most sense there, goku literally quotes on buu directly. but when he mentioned the stuff on Earth it was a little inconsistent, mainly w Gohan

I like the idea that the story of Dragonball turned from history to folklore to legend over the many retelling over many generations. Because each retelling introduced more errors the stories got less and less consistent over time, but each story is still based on a core of truth.
May I recommend dragon ball heroes manga? Lord slug, cooler, broly, and others like the tree of the universe’s multiversal counterpart are canon alongside GT in there

The only serious problem with the Broly placement - and this is totally splitting hairs, as you mentioned - is that Goku and Gohan were still perma-blonde at the time. Granted, you can sort of explain why Goku wasn't Super Saiyan - Chi-Chi was able to get him into a suit, so she could probably badger him into letting his hair be black for an hour - but Gohan was just relaxing at a party with his friends, so it's weird that he would disengage the form, which he otherwise is shown maintaining continuously until the Cell Games end.
Blonde hair was a sign of delinquency/rebellion in Japan. It's why of you listen to the BT3 dialogues from Chi Chi in the character bios she keeps on calling Super Saiyans delinquents.
Yup. There are many reasons I dislike the Broly movies, aside from how god awful Broly's motivation is as a character. On top of that, from the time Gohan exits the time chamber until Goku returns from Otherworld, Gohan is the strongest character in the series. Even prior to transforming into SSJ2, his SSJ1 form after fully powering up was stronger than Goku.
@@randumo24 Well, that isn't to say the comparison isn't complicated, though. Gohan does have a higher base power level than Goku, but just from watching their respective fights against Cell it's obvious that Goku does better; Gohan barely lands a hit on Cell. So although Gohan is somewhat stronger than Goku in raw terms, he's also a much less competent fighter overall. So it's reasonable that against someone like Broly, who's much stronger than any of the cast here, Goku as the most skilled martial artist would hold out better than anyone else.
@@meganbarhorst5272 That's not exactly true. Gohan is actually an extremely skilled fighter at that point after training with Goku for so long. The reason he wasn't doing well against Cell is because he was holding back and was scared of the damage he would do to the planet. Broly was different than Cell. Not only had Broly already gone around destroying multiple planets, but they were fighting on a planet that was going to be destroyed soon regardless of what they did. Gohan had no reason to hold back like he did against Cell. Even if many find Gohan's reasons for holding back against Cell questionable, those reasons don't exist where Broly is concerned.
*22:39* the reason that was angering broly was because it was when king vegeta stabbed him as a baby so really people need to remember BROLY JUST GET REMINDED HE WAS STABBED AND THROWN TO THE TRASH AS AN INFANT GOD!!!!!!!!!
With the popularity of all the Dragon Ball what-if stories these days, I'd love to see one based on the Garlic Jr. timeline. Not just in-universe, but out-of-universe. Like, what if Goku wasn't even a Saiyan? What if the story never went sci-fi and instead stayed more fantasy? *What if Goku never stopped using his Pole and Nimbus!?*
I used to though about this very often, it would be interessant, like instead of power levels increasing insanely fast and makimg the characters galaxy busters, they would simply focus in earth and the deities, i even make an story based on this but it never turned it into a fanfic or something similiar
The story presented the creator of tenkaichi budokai, he created it to test his strengh, he was Earth's strongest warrior, but as far his power grew, also his ambition grow it, he recruited some of the earth strongest warriors and tried to sieg kami's lookout, but Kami and his disciples fought them, after an harsh battle that resulted bot in kami and warrior's disciples deaths, kami managed to seal the warrior in the moon, hundred years later when roshi desteoyed the moon in 21st tournament the warrior was released, but he was heavly weakned. The warrior spent many years training hard to restore his strengh, he managed to flee kami's radar for years, when goku and piccolo where fighting in the 23rd tournament, the warrior with his strengh fully recovered decided to catch the dragonballs and revived four of his disciples This is far that i planned before i trashed up, i also had maked an alternate version, wich the warrior instead of revive his disciples, he revived kami old disciples and managed to mind manipulate them, and these warriors where the stronged centuries ago.
I also made other more small stories, unlike the story i mencioned before, these are more like concepts, i will list here - some concepts of what-if goku fell in another place in earth, like if he was founded, by capsule corp, or by red ribbon, even raised by an character created by me, like a police officer, or a billionarie. - and little retelling dragom ball lore but more detail that don't exist in the original(like Ox-king havind an actual kingdom and not only a castle) and even with original characters like martial artist masters and even a league made up of warriors
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.
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.
Rewatching this all these years later and I'm still curious. Is it possible that the Janemba movie could just be a what-if separate timeline where Vegeta succeeds in killing Buu?
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?
The is some of the best content I’ve seen on UA-cam. The professional yet humour-filled commentary, the perfect choices of music.

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.
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.

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.
@@TophadoodledooI think it’s like the case where goku couldn’t sense anybody on earth in the Moro arc until krillin raised his ki. So what I think happened is broly was really far away and goku and the gang wasn’t paying attention and they couldn’t sense ki to to well back then
the movie would honestly be so much better and memorable if cell joined the z fighters because he didn't want them to die before he kills them

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 ♥️

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 😂

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.

Return of Cooler's placement is a mess (duh, the entire video is dedicated to pointing that out). Dende doesn't become the new guardian until after Cell becomes perfect, yet Trunks is nowhere to be seen and Vegeta clearly hasn't been to the time chamber yet. Chances are the movie somehow takes place just before Cell absorbs 17, which essentially means Piccolo should be the strongest person there.

@@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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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
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.

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.
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

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?

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.

Super Android 13 actually makes perfect sense if it's the timeline the Trunks that Cell killed was traveling to. Think about it we have
A) Dead Dr Gero
B) The androids defeated (judging by their casual atmosphere)
C) Not discovered the underground lair
D) No Cell
This is a timeline where Trunks vaccinated Goku, 17 and 18 showed up, but with the help of Trunks they managed to defeat them. Trunks hangs out on Earth a little bit, then this movie happens. With the experience he gained fighting all these Androids, Trunks goes back to his future and defeats his 17 and 18, then he tries to come back to this timeline to tell everyone the good news, but instead he's ambushed by the Cell we know and love. The Trunks in the Super Android 13 movie is the same Trunks we see Cell kill in his backstory. That Trunks even used his sword to try and fight Cell like the one in this movie does.
Woah. You just made the most plot-screwy movie make perfect sense.
@@darkknight5541 all of them are on the same wave length of non canon ness.
Basicly trunks who killed by Cell is killing android with emergency switch, so he don't training and his sword never broken because even they kill android without fighting. That's why he is no match with Cell. But i agree with you, if trunks killed by Cell after comeback from past, after he say good news, and finally help face again 13,14,& 15. That android 13 movie can be Canon.
Wait, in the movie at the beginning 17 and 18 killed Dr. Gero. So basically this movie should have happened BEFORE 17 and 18 were defeated like you said.
then this is just an alternate timeline you could make this arguement for probably every movie

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.

Meh it's obvious with inconsistent power levels and how gohan fights bojack without first going super saiyan 2 while goku is dead. They are their own timeline within a saga
none of this is valid. no cartoon movies have ever lined up to the tv series.. its stupid. and the dbz movies are 100% cannon. more cannon than super.
the janemba one only makes sense if it's a alternate timeline where Goku beat fat buu as SSJ3, instead of just stalling him hoping goten and trunks would save the world for a change
He'd probably be able to based on how much stronger he is in this alt timeline.

There’s a dbs supercut that has songs in it too that’s fucking incredible. Yeah I miss those old days me and my buddies lost our mind when we saw that the first time.
I generally put these videos on audio only and just let them run while I do stuff. At one point I thought this was a recap of Buu's saga. Thanks for making this, great work!
The only serious problem with the Broly placement - and this is totally splitting hairs, as you mentioned - is that Goku and Gohan were still perma-blonde at the time. Granted, you can sort of explain why Goku wasn't Super Saiyan - Chi-Chi was able to get him into a suit, so she could probably badger him into letting his hair be black for an hour - but Gohan was just relaxing at a party with his friends, so it's weird that he would disengage the form, which he otherwise is shown maintaining continuously until the Cell Games end.
It would make sense if cell was already dead if Cell never baited vegeta and vegeta killed him
Blonde hair was a sign of delinquency/rebellion in Japan. It's why of you listen to the BT3 dialogues from Chi Chi in the character bios she keeps on calling Super Saiyans delinquents.
Yup. There are many reasons I dislike the Broly movies, aside from how god awful Broly's motivation is as a character. On top of that, from the time Gohan exits the time chamber until Goku returns from Otherworld, Gohan is the strongest character in the series. Even prior to transforming into SSJ2, his SSJ1 form after fully powering up was stronger than Goku.
@@randumo24 Well, that isn't to say the comparison isn't complicated, though. Gohan does have a higher base power level than Goku, but just from watching their respective fights against Cell it's obvious that Goku does better; Gohan barely lands a hit on Cell. So although Gohan is somewhat stronger than Goku in raw terms, he's also a much less competent fighter overall. So it's reasonable that against someone like Broly, who's much stronger than any of the cast here, Goku as the most skilled martial artist would hold out better than anyone else.
@@meganbarhorst5272 That's not exactly true. Gohan is actually an extremely skilled fighter at that point after training with Goku for so long. The reason he wasn't doing well against Cell is because he was holding back and was scared of the damage he would do to the planet.
Broly was different than Cell. Not only had Broly already gone around destroying multiple planets, but they were fighting on a planet that was going to be destroyed soon regardless of what they did. Gohan had no reason to hold back like he did against Cell. Even if many find Gohan's reasons for holding back against Cell questionable, those reasons don't exist where Broly is concerned.
*22:39* the reason that was angering broly was because it was when king vegeta stabbed him as a baby so really people need to remember BROLY JUST GET REMINDED HE WAS STABBED AND THROWN TO THE TRASH AS AN INFANT GOD!!!!!!!!!
you saw that vid too about broly two?
With the popularity of all the Dragon Ball what-if stories these days, I'd love to see one based on the Garlic Jr. timeline. Not just in-universe, but out-of-universe. Like, what if Goku wasn't even a Saiyan? What if the story never went sci-fi and instead stayed more fantasy? *What if Goku never stopped using his Pole and Nimbus!?*
I want a “goku is just a mutant” miniseries so bad
I used to though about this very often, it would be interessant, like instead of power levels increasing insanely fast and makimg the characters galaxy busters, they would simply focus in earth and the deities, i even make an story based on this but it never turned it into a fanfic or something similiar
The story presented the creator of tenkaichi budokai, he created it to test his strengh, he was Earth's strongest warrior, but as far his power grew, also his ambition grow it, he recruited some of the earth strongest warriors and tried to sieg kami's lookout, but Kami and his disciples fought them, after an harsh battle that resulted bot in kami and warrior's disciples deaths, kami managed to seal the warrior in the moon, hundred years later when roshi desteoyed the moon in 21st tournament the warrior was released, but he was heavly weakned.
The warrior spent many years training hard to restore his strengh, he managed to flee kami's radar for years, when goku and piccolo where fighting in the 23rd tournament, the warrior with his strengh fully recovered decided to catch the dragonballs and revived four of his disciples
This is far that i planned before i trashed up, i also had maked an alternate version, wich the warrior instead of revive his disciples, he revived kami old disciples and managed to mind manipulate them, and these warriors where the stronged centuries ago.
I also made other more small stories, unlike the story i mencioned before, these are more like concepts, i will list here
- some concepts of what-if goku fell in another place in earth, like if he was founded, by capsule corp, or by red ribbon, even raised by an character created by me, like a police officer, or a billionarie.
- and little retelling dragom ball lore but more detail that don't exist in the original(like Ox-king havind an actual kingdom and not only a castle) and even with original characters like martial artist masters and even a league made up of warriors
What if goku and bulma switched places when they first met and goku was the who shot bulma?
i wish turles was canon. he was a cool character
But friezas brother is....
Cooler
@@damll2975 literally
He Can Be Canon Akira Toryama Just Needs To Rewrite His Backstory So It Fits With The Super Timeline
He should've been Goku Black instead of Zamasu
@@o.g.francis9361 What Would The Arc Be Called? Because The Name
Turles Arc Doesn't Really Roll Of The Tougne
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.
Rewatching this all these years later and I'm still curious. Is it possible that the Janemba movie could just be a what-if separate timeline where Vegeta succeeds in killing Buu?
So no one wants to point out the random namekian with a mustache at 5:09
Fuckin what? Never noticed that before, holy shit.
Slugstache
@@bohemianprince7944 yes
If I remember that wasn't an actual scene with the Namekians. It was just Yajirobe imagining a planet "full of Piccolos".
@@Sarkkoth Fuckin Yajirobe. Fuckin legend.
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.
Watch time it's all watchtime
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..
Can we talk about that amazing narration? I thought it was actually the narrator for the series.
Great video. You're a good narrator, and I loved how you mimicked the DBZ style with it.
The is some of the best content I’ve seen on UA-cam. The professional yet humour-filled commentary, the perfect choices of music. The editing is beautiful as to where it’s not overdone yet always grabs my attention just before my attention starts to lose focus. 10/10.
It’s really a shame that you’re channel has a small core audience with a few one hit wonders scattered across it’s lifespan. I know videos like these take a heck of a lot of time to make. Best of luck to you.
Agreed
Always the fucking same comment
Broly could be cannon. During the week highatus. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense but it's close
“Our heroes have much bigger things to deal with than a comet”.
Now that was a swell line. Glad you put that in.
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
Funny thing, Icarus isn’t just a movie exclusive and actually appeared in the garlic junior saga of Z (which is a very weird place for him but that’s where he shows up).
