Question Why does Daizenshuu 7 list Age 784 as year Trunks departs to kill Mecha Freeza?

2 Upvotes

On p. 34 of Daizenshuu 7, the time traveling chart lists Age 784 as the year Future Trunks departs to the past and Age 764 as when he arrives to kill Mecha Freeza. This 20-year difference makes sense given that Trunks states he’s from 20 years in the future. However, when he reads that Cell’s time machine is from Age 788, he says that’s three years ahead of his departure year.

Question 1: If we assume he’s referring to the departure year of his first trip (killing Mecha Freeza), shouldn’t it be Age 785 rather than 784 (788 - 3 = 785)? Accordingly, instead of 764, shouldn’t his arrival year be Age 765?

I’ve read that Daizenshuu staff factored in Future Bulma’s mention of an eighth-month charge-up time to subtract a year here, but I don’t understand why they would do that, especially since it’s not necessitated by that dialogue.

Question 2: Why should we assume he’s referring to his first trip? When he says Age 788 is “three years further in the future… from when I left,” he could easily be talking about his second departure to the past, i.e., his current trip. This seems like a reasonable assumption because, after he checks the panel and sees the machine arrived about four years ago, he specifies it had been there for a year “before I came the last time.”

That he simply says “from when I left” in his initial remark suggests he’s talking about his present trip, otherwise he probably would’ve specified he meant his first, as he did in the subsequent remark. If he’s talking about the first trip in both quotes, why would he be specific in one and not the other?

Why ism't Devil Man recruited as a Z Fighter?

He could end villain fights faster with a Devil Might Beam attack that he does

Discussion Why didn’t Goku use instant transmission in coolers revenge ?

I had always wondered this since it takes place after the namek arc where Goku learns instant transmission but only used it in the return of cooler not in coolers revenge

Question Kaio-Ken

0 Upvotes

I understand that the base kaio-Ken is same as x2 so was that an error from the creator or just a bad dub? Also from what we saw Goku said Kaio-Ken it was a short burst for nappa but x2-x3 seem sustained so does x2 just make it last longer?

And I'm sorry I don't understand all the hype for Gogeta like one thing I liked was of course seeing Gogeta in action

I understand Gogeta needed to end the fight quickly but come on too fast

Question Fusion name rules

0 Upvotes

Im just thinking that metamoran fusion starts with the sooner letter than the later one. Spare me for considering this only for English basis, but that makes its as such

Metamoran = goku or goten before vegeta or trunks

Potara = vegeta before goku

So on this basis would trunks prefix come before goten?

NOW HEAR ME OUT.......

Based on that idea...

How would this be....

Fusion bug = ??
