10 Major Dragon Ball Timeline Questions Finally Answered
Subscribe to CBR: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
Dragon Ball is one of the most popular anime series of all time and it’s not hard to see why. The show not only has some of the greatest fight scenes ever animated but it also has a rich lore that spans decades. The history of Dragon Ball includes ancient demons, galactic space battles, post apocalyptic wastelands and more than a few tournaments. The history is usually revealed to us as it is to characters like Goku. While that works well for the story, it can provide some confusion about Dragon Ball’s timeline.
The show usually focuses more on the conflicts of the present than it does on the conflicts of the far past. This can leave us with a lot of questions about Dragon Ball’s ancient history. For example, this is a world with futuristic tech and dinosaurs at the same time. How can you compare a timeline like that to one like our’s?
That’s not even mentioning the alternate timelines. As Dragon Ball Z’s Future Trunks proved, time travel can create completely separate timelines that don’t necessarily adhere to logic. Then there are the non-canonical stories that may be interesting on their own but don’t fit in well with the pre-established history. These videogames and spin-offs take us to different futures that some might consider to be valid timelines in the Dragon Ball continuity.
So let’s get right to it! Here is everything you need to know about Dragon Ball’s crazy history.

Dragon Ball has gone on for a while and adapted its story along the way leaving the timeline a bit confusing after Future Trunk's appearance through DBZ
5:30 goku is 23-24 at the begging of Z🤦🏾♂️
In the earlier episodes of DBS Vegeta has a flashback of when Beerus visited planet Vegeta and bet up his dad while he was hiding behind a boulder but in DBS Broly it showed us planet Vegeta was Destroyed while he was still in his life pod

There's a couple of differences between the magical elements of the Dragon Ball universe and the ever-present Ki. Magic does exist within the Dragon Ball universe, although it's not as prevalent as one would expect.There have been people shown from almost every core race in the franchise to be capable of utilizing magical powers, there are only certain people who actually use those powers. Magic in Dragon Ball has always appeared more varied. It doesn't seem to possess the same limits as Ki, as true magic is rarely seen to have as much of a physical effect on the user as Ki can.But Magic has been shown being countered by people with large amounts of Ki. Certain characters from the various races that inhabit the Dragon Ball universe are all shown using magical abilities like Namakeians, Babidi, Majin Buu, Angels, Kais and the Gods of Destruction. Demons such as Dabura or Towa have access to dark magic abilities and Some humans are shown be trained in magical abilities, such as Fortuneteller Baba,other Earthly beings such as Puar and Oolong are also capable of limited magical abilities, such as shape-shifting.

15:20 it is stated in a throw away line that yes Dr.Briefs, Bulma's dad did indeed reintroduce the dinosaurs into the world.
I think maybe the '5 minutes' represent the Namek planet's 5 minutes , because the Namek planet had only day ,also namekians are plant type that's because they needs lots of sunlight, maybe the planet had slow rotation ,so the time is slow compare to the earth , so that's makes sense....

Bardock’s flashback in DBZ is more canon than the reinvented version in DBS: Broly. Though Gine, the mother of Goku, was my highlight of this new version. Yet many fans are hoping for our hero would one day meet his Saiyan parents in future arcs. And I am hoping for that too!

@@idkman5145 in the original story, frieza hadn't ordered all saiyans to go back, instead any saiyans that were off planet, like Bardock's crew, he sent fighters after them. Except raditz, vegeta and nappa (raditz and vegeta were together in 1 planet and nappa in another). Then, hours after, blew up the planet. Bardock wasn't fighting his warriors in space, more like at the edge of the atmosphere (also saiyans back then could stay in space for a while, definitely not survive in there tho, which is why goku was so worried about not finding a spaceship). Toriyama had made that story canon, before creating dragonball minus and broly.

1) “Dragon Ball Gt was supposed to take place 5 years after DBZ ended...but the English dub says it takes place 10 years after DBZ ended, which doesn’t make sense.” Actually, YOU don’t make sense. The end of Z (Goku flying off with Uub to train him) is 10 years after the death of Kid Buu. Then DBGT starts 5 years later when Goku comes home from training/living with Uub.

GT isn't Canon. Attempting to tie it into a Canon storyline is pretty dumb.
This video should have been named "Top 15 Major Dragon Ball timeline questions finally answered" instead, because there are 15 entries in this video instead of just 10.
3) talking about Future Trunks time traveling “which got more confusing when he kept going back and forth to the main timeline...wouldn’t that continue making new timelines?...and when he came back again In DBS, wouldn’t there be another timeline again?” No, once he went to the past and made the new timeline, he’s able to travel between the two as much as he wants, so there wouldn’t be a new time line every time. But if he went to the past at an earlier point than his original trip, then a new time line would split. For example, when cell killed one of the Future Trunks’ and stole his time machine, he came back a year prior to Trunks’ arrival which created another time line.

It's still works for the Tournament of Power for the perspective of the fighters. You also have to factor in that the perspective changes, when another character who isn't fighting talks, not to mention the time inbetween episodes, or the times where they're just talking, which would occur in normal time.
You made me think you'll explain the Goku Black saga but you basically didn't even explain any timeline, you just told us how Dragon Ball's timeline doesn't make sense from your perspective. But still love that you are talking about something other than MCU phase 4
Keep up these dragon ball vids I love them💓
They really shouldn't have given Gildo the ability to stop time. Such an OP ability gone to waste. I bet they regret that

I heard the the Goku vs Freiza fight was slowed down, which explains why it lasted so many episodes.
It really depends on how you argue the time chamber. It was stated at one point that you could only spend 2 years inside the chamber before being trapped. Later Toriyama forgot about that and characters spent longer times in there. Goku only spent a small amount of time in there before taking Gohan.
Since FighterZ is tied in between Universe 6 Saga and Future Trunks, it would be nice to have new addition to the Z Fighters like the Good Android 21 and the anonymous Human Warrior (who’s soul was linked with her, Android 18, Goku and the others since the wave disrupts their powers).
This video had nothing to do with the timeline. It was just random facts, plugs for games, and character ages. He said several things that were incorrect, and dropped well known facts like they were secrets.
There’s so much wrong information throughout this video that it hurts my brain.

Another question to be answered. In DBS Vegeta flashes back to when Beerus steps on King Vegeta's head. He looks like a teen by then. In DBS Broly when the planet is destroyed we see Vegeta looking like he's 6 - 8 yrs old!
I appriciate this mans voice for Db vids
About that Beerus wiping out dinosaurs thing, he clearly said that he wiped some of them, so please listen carefully .
I want hyperbolic time chamber for my exam preparation 😁
Where has Videl’s best friend Erasa been all this time in Super? She has flirting with Gohan since attempting Orange Star High School. It would of been a unique concept to have a Saiyan with either a love triangle or a polygamy relationship.
In regards to number 14 beerus did say that but whis said that he used a do over in order to put earth back to normal
Thought the TOP was only 30 min not an hour
Cool Q & A''s
So are they all sages because they use nature energy? Or is it regular ki?
The super speed was right the reason of the tournament of power lasted that long is because of goku taking breaks and the amount of different fighters that had fights so a hour was accurate but goku was just fighting frezia
Why didn't Trunks just go back in time when red ribbon army was created and just obliterate the scientist
5:30 Incorrect......Goku is about 24 years old at the start of DBZ
what background song is at 10:12?
Some fans suggest that Age 1 is the day King Piccolo was born after separating from Kami. That DB history starts on that day and all that happened before Master Ryoshi's master trapped him. This theory also states that, Kami, Ryoshi and Mr. Popo maybe nearly a 1,000 years old.
I love how it says 10 major things answered and it’s 15 “answers” lol
Who brings a 10 year old on an intergalactic mission? How old was Gohan when he, Krillin and Bulma went to Namek.
16:20 ROSHI IS OVER 300 YEARS OLD?!

I wanna know if vegeta is a time travel just to get nappa out the way because of trunks(balma). I mean did you see how he just deleted nappa even though vegeta knew about frieza and the dangers ahead.
* Pulls off mask* You only made me use 1% of my power to figured Out You were the ghoul hunt the forest Doctor Big boy
Gohan could be the Nico Robin of dragon ball, and be a historian, if you could somehow write out Goku and Vegeta for abit, while researching, gohan accidently revives an ancient being that him and the fighters on earth have to deal with ,
Gee I wonder what Akira Toriyama would start thinking if he saw Back to the Future or read A Sound of Thunder. Because the generally accepted law of time travel is that if you change something in the past then the future (or present) you know will cease to exist in some way. So in other words, Trunks timeline should have been erased the moment he gave Goku the medicine for the heart virus.
Anime time is like that... don't you remember the 40min tournament of power in super
A very simple explanation for Frieza's 5 minute warning that nobody else seems to have thought of is that a minute of time means something else to him than the 60 seconds that we have on Earth. Frieza isn't from Earth, so 5 minutes for him might be 30 minutes for us. Same name, different measurement of time.

At 1:08 it says ' I'm pretty sure he's the only one who's actually read a book ' but in the Goku Black saga you see Bulma read her future self's diary sooo
My opinion when beerus says I wiped out the dinosaurs my pain is he was talking about the original dinosaurs and the dinosaurs of the dragon Ball z universe now is evolution reforming them
Goku=strongest saiyan=scared of chi chi hits LOL
What is that beat at (8:05)?
Hell roshi I guess with the mafuba.
History time!
Remember the starter Krillin? His face was actually bluish in his first few appearances.
the title said ten thing and it has more than that
MatPat knows. He theorized that it was simply Frieza trying to use psychological warfare. Sadly for him, Goku was too focused(and stupid) for it to work on him.
I think freiza was tricking Goku so he would get strest and slip up
Actually the main timeline is one where trunks came from and we are watching alternative timelime that he created by arriving "in past" and tell them about androids and saving goku with that medicine

There are 4 timelines in total in Z. We have the ORIGINAL where goku killed frieza not trunks. Then Goku died, Z-fighters died, Eventualy Trunks grew up went back in time, this makes UNSEEN timeline. Trunks kills Frieza, Goku and rest lives, They find Gero's lab, Bulma makes remote to shut down androids, Trunks not Krillin uses it (no cell). They kill androids, Trunks goes back to ORIGINAL timeline, kills androids with remote. A few years later Cell shows up, kills Trunks. Steals timemachine and makes SEEN timeline. Cell arrives a year before Trunks from ORIGINAL would. Trunks kills Frieza, Goku lives, all the same till Bulma, Gohan, Trunks find cells timemachine, Remote ends up with Krillin because Trunks is after cell. Androids live, cell absorbs them. By this Trunks does Not return with the Remote. This make a new FUTURE timeline. In SEEN Gohan kills Cell and Trunks eventualy returns to FUTURE timeline and kills androids and Cell by force.
