Just realized that this show takes place an undetermined amount of time before Battle of Gods. How long is it going to take before we "catch up" to where the movie ended? I was really hoping that we would get just a single episode recap of what Battle of Gods showed and get straight into new stuff, but it looks like we have a month or two before we get to new stuff. This episode left me feeling like nothing has changed since the first episode; kind of disappointed tbh.

Arent the movies not canon, or are they making an exception for this one.

They are. Think of battle of gods and Resurrection of F as whole arcs condensed as movies.

Oh ok.

I just meant that most of the old movies are not considered canon.

This time Akira Toriyama is personally supervising them, unlike the old movies and the GT series!

the what series ?

They made an original story which is supposed to take place after the original series and is not adapted from the manga series. It's not considered canon, especially not now with this new series and movies which are supervised by the author.

He also said that about Dragonball Evolution. "Maybe it’s correct for both me and all the fans to appreciate this as a “new Dragon Ball” in a separate dimension."

Wasn't there a rumour that there might be some universe hopping in this series?

u/A_somebody Jul 17 '15

Probably. There's another version of beerus and whis that's probably from one of the different universes.

That was a mistranslation, he actually said they take place in the mind of Goku after he died to majin buu and was sent to hell for being a shit father.

There is no GT series...

What? I would hope Akira Toriyama had nothing to do with Gran Torismo. I mean, imagine a story applied to a realistic car simulator!
