    Well, the Movies and GT are the same timeline. Go watch the Super 17 Arc. When the news on the TV shows villains attacking the city from Hell, you see Cooler in the crowd, thus canonizing the movies.

    One of the movie timelines stops after Lord Slug anyways since the Cooler movies basically demand the events on Namek play out as they did in the show whereas the timeline up until Lord Slug demands it must have played out differently, mainly with Piccolo surviving the saiyan invasion arc.

    11:32 There is a huge correction here. In this timeline the show and manga state Cell states that Trunks had turned off the androids using the remote. This means that it isn't necessarily a Trunks that went through the Time Chamber Training, especially if it was then there is no way Cell could have sneaked up on him. Cell even said that the Trunks he took out was weaker.

    I seem to recall in DragonBall xenoverse there was mentioned that the time-line split actually happened because of a flaw in the time machine method/design. This was "fixed" so timeliness could no longer split when the time machines were used to handle time fragments (parralel quests) that spawned from fixing the time-line in the scrolls of eternity. Even tough it is not cannonical to the anime/manga ot is something interesting to take note of.

    Actually, no. If memory serves me, Trunks explains to Goku on his original trip to the past that it will take him six months to get the machine fueled for another round trip. He then proceeds to say that he'll join them again on the day the Androids show up "if I'm still alive." So, no. Trunks did NOT wait three years to make a return trip. He did however have to wait six months just to be able to do it.

    I have a few theories on how the time rings can be correct, though they are a bit shaky and require some fan-justification Theory 1: Changing the date only severs the link if you change it to be earlier than what you already have it set to, this allows timeline 4 and 7 to not be neccesary 7 - 2 = 5, which matches the number of time rings, this would track considering the time rings don't split reality as they only allow you to go forward in time. Theory 2: The whole gods killing eachother thing doesn't break time, what happened is the timeline already split when Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks learned about their timeline's future, splitting it into a reality where Zamasu enacted his plan, and one where Zamasu got hakai'd by beerus, under this assumption, Beerus was not responsible in any capacity for the creation of another timeline, and it had already happened by the time beerus went to destroy Zamasu. So what we have with this logic is Theory 3: The time ring prevented Zamasu's future from being aborted, this is the direct cause of the timeline split that created timeline 6. Timeline 1: Cell's Origin Timeline (Timeline 1) Timeline 2: Future Trunks Timeline (Timeline 2) (Theory 2 Dictates that this timeline doesn't get split 12 times) Timeline 3: Original Present Timeline (Timeline 4) (Theory 1 Prevents another split here) Timeline 4: Cell's Perfect Timeline (Timeline 5) (Theory 1 would not prevent any split here as Cell & Trunks are seperate time travellers in seperate time machines) Timeline 5: Dragon Ball Z/Black Timeline ("Aborted" Timeline 8) (Theory 1 Prevents another split here, Theory 3 prevents this timeline getting aborted) Timeline 6: Dragon Ball Super timeline (Timeline 8) (Theory 2 Dictates that this timeline doesn't get aborted) EDIT: I'm assuming Trunks coming back during the Goku black arc is a return trip to an already linked timeline.

    So I thought it was pretty well explained that once there's a link between the two timelines that's it. They can go between the two without creating a new timeline. Here's how I've always seen it. Timeline 1 is where Cell comes from. Timeline 2 follows the main timeline we see except Cell doesn't show up, so Trunks and Vegeta probably kill the androids after getting out of the time chamber, leaving Trunks to go back to timeline 1 where he gets killed. Timeline 3 is where Cell shows up, and is defeated by Gohan. Now Trunks goes off back to what would be timeline 1 but because of knowledge he didn't have before Cell created timeline 3, Trunks prevents his own death creating timeline 4, where Buu isn't released, he learns super saiyan 2 after seeing the supreme Kai die, and eventually Goku Black shows up because in timeline 5, an alternate to timeline 3, the guy that's trained by Gowasu uses the super dragon balls to become Black, kill Goku's family, and decides to hop between timelines and terrorizes Future Trunks world. I don't think Whis restoring Trunks world created or eliminated everything so we're at 5 timelines for the main heroes. And if you follow the games and the time patrol stuff then we're around 6 if you just want to shove all of GT and the movies into one section.

    I'm pretty sure the timeline stuff was explained pretty succinctly with Dragon Ball Super, with time travel creating branching timelines. Each one has its own Time Ring, to help show just how many timelines there are. And, normally, the Kais and the Gods of Destruction can make alterations without creating a new branch... but that was NOT the case with Black since, at the time, he was wearing the Time Ring, meaning that he was basically immune to changes in the timeline, meaning that his existence simply became another branching path instead of him being retconned out of possibility. This fits with Whis' actions in order to make sure Future Trunks could go back home to his 'timeline', even if things would be vastly different.

    @@LordTyph I thought I remember seeing that Goku Black only survived because he wore the time ring and because of Beerus’s intervention that timeline where he killed Chichi and Goten was “aborted”. Goku Black basically exists outside of “time and space”, a paradox of some sort. I wonder what would’ve happened if somehow his ring got removed, would he just blip out of existence? The anime did seem to imply heavily that the ring was the reason he still existed like you mentioned. Unfortunately that also brings into question of their ethereal form they took when Future Trunks used his spirit sword. You could say that the mortal Goku Black was finally killed with the spirit sword and the ethereal form was just the immortal Zamasu. In the end I don’t understand why the arc ended how it did with a Future Mai and Future Trunks that exist as survivors of a completely annihilated timeline/ multiverse. Perhaps it may have been better to basically have Zeno intervene and destroy Goku Black since the very beginning before he killed Gowasu. Basically the story never happened at all but we as the viewers know it happened, heck Goku and friends could’ve been allowed to know what happened. But I guess either the editors or Toriyama wanted to make a leeway to make Time Patrol Trunks happen should they ever want to do so.

    The first main problem you mention is that Trunks going back in time, then FORWARD in time again, creating another alternate reality. Based off of how the rings vs time machines work, isn't there the implication that traveling BACK in time creates a branched reality, but traveling FORWARD in time doesn't? For instance, if I travel travel 10 minutes into the future, there is still only one timeline: one where I disappear and reappear 10 minutes later. There is no alternate timeline where I never got into the machine, and did not reappear in 10 minutes. To create THAT branched reality, I'd have to go back in time AFTERWARDS to go and stop myself from getting into the time machine.

    My personal headcanon as to why there are only 5 Time rings present (6 after Zamasu's death) is actually Xenoverse/Super Dragon Ball heroes/The Time Patrol. The Time Patrol and the Supreme Kai of Time's job are to "Weed" alternate timelines down and adjust them to a point where they can be self-consistent with relation to each other. This likely has something to do with the Time Scrolls and Toki Toki in how it is regulated, but the result is that whenever a timeline that is extraneous is born, Chronoa or the Time Patrol arrive and "reset" the timeline TVA-Style and maybe pick up allies from the timeline to join the Time Patrol, thus why we have Xeno Trunks and the Xeno GT versions of characters. So with this assumption the 6 time rings at the end of the Goku Black arc are the result of Chronoa and the Time Patrol doing timeline spring cleaning of the Goku Black arc in order to keep things in line. These 6 timelines likely are. Timeline 1 (The Main Timeline) Timeline 2 (The History of Trunks Timeline, erased then recreated with a timeline that takes its place with an extra Trunks and Mai in tow) Timeline 3 (Cell's Timeline) Timeline 4 (The Unseen Timeline, aka a timeline where Trunks arrives and helps Goku and pals out with no intervention from Cell) Timeline 5 ( Universe 12 Time Machine Timeline, this timeline and Timeline 2 are conjoined as they are the two timelines with the U12 TIme machine as Infinite Zamasu in the manga stated that he found the U12 Time machine within Timeline 2, so Timeline 2 was split off of this incident) Timeline 6 (Goku Black's *revised* Birth, with the Time Patrol and Chronoa making sure that the offshoot Goku Black from this timeline heads to Timeline 2 and properly becomes the genesis point of Goku Black in future occurrences of the loop as any potential timeline that would be offshoot in repeat loops are self-contained and erased, leaving space for a new timeline 6 to appear) Excess timelines born from improperly done return trips or first entering of timelines are erased by the Time Patrol, with the order of events being -Timeline 5 splits off timeline 2 -Timeline 3 continues from timeline 5 until Trunks travels back in time to make TImeline 4 -The link between Timeline 3 and 4 is locked in place by the time Patrol so Trunks does hop between the two timelines. -Trunks is killed by Cell and cell takes his time machine to go to make Timeline 1 -Timeline 2's version of Trunks is guided to Timeline 1 either via how many timeline wounds there are throwing his time machine off course, or by the intervention of the Time Patrol. -Timeline 1 and 2 are linked now and stay linked. -Zamasu steals Goku's body after an unknown period of time in Timeline 1, becoming Goku Black heading over to Timeline 2 to recruit his counterpart there -Trunks heads back to timeline 1 either via the lock-on tech Pilaf suggested or aid of the Time Patrol, this doesn't split the timeline likely due to the Time Patrol. -The events of the Goku Black arc play out normally as Goku Black is self-consistent still due to his time ring. -Beerus kills Zamasu, due to Timeline 1's future counterpart as Goku Black having his time ring on, it splits the timeline, birthing timeline 6 and erasing the future that would result in Timeline 1's Goku Black. (Calling the erased Future Timeline 1B) -Timeline 6 Zamasu proceeds to reenact the events of Timeline 1B Zamasu, taking Goku's body and heading to Timeline 2 -Goku Black from Timeline 1/1B is actually erased as Beerus stated, but is replaced by the unintended Timeline 6 counterpart, thus solving that apparent paradox. -Timeline 2 is erased by Zeno, destroying the time ring of that universe, only to be recreated by Whis time-traveling one more time, offshoot timelines born from this incident are handled and surpassed by the Time Patrol.

    So fun fact: there WAS a time travel event when Zamasu killed his master. That was Whis' do-over ability. Even though it was just the 5 seconds, they traveled back and made a change in those 5 seconds. So now we have to add on a timeline break for every time Whis has used this ability in the cannon! That's an extra 2 at a minimum, as he alludes to using it from before the Golden Freeza arc and ALSO uses it DURING the Golden Freeza arc! So it's not that gods killing gods creates new timelines, it's that Whis is just using Beerus as a scapegoat for his own misdeeds

    A few problems with this: 1. Someone in the comments below stated that Trunks legitimately waited 3 Years before Going Back to Timeline 3. This makes the Total Amount of Timelines to 7 as this happens twice. 2. When Beerus erases Zamasu out of existence it causes a new timeline due to the fact that he had obtained new information through a time traveling Goku and Vegeta, which wouldn't have been known otherwise. In the Timeline Zamasu Doesn't Get Erased but Goku and Vegeta does time travel in he is more than likely the Goku Black who somehow survived the time paradox, thus allowing the continuation of his existence, as Beerus was 100% sure that he got rid of Zamasu, not expecting that another timeline Goku Black could exist and repeat everything and not get erased.

    Corn boi Whis directly states Beerus created a new timeline too when he destroyed Zamasu. Of course he did, the original timeline from that part of the story would have ended up with Zamasu stealing Goku’s body, killing him and going to Trunks’ timeline, continuing the time loop. How Beerus was able to break the timeloop in our timeline is a plothole, because everything that happened in our timeline should have happened originally as well; in Black’s timeline it seems like Goku and Beerus just stopped investigating Black’s mystery for whatever reason, and Trunks just went home or something, which is why Zamasu had a chance to steal Goku’s body and Goku was just farming again when the body swap happened. That doesn’t make sense though obviously because there was no changing factor in our timeline as to why Beerus killed Zamasu in our timeline but not in Black’s. They screwed up

What had been theorized to have happened is that he found the Android blueprints in Gero's lab and Bulma created the device to shut them down, which he used in his timeline. I say this because had he gone into the HTC he would have been more than powerful enough to kill Cell like we saw in the anime.

    I always just figured that if you time travel to a date after the most recent time travel that happened in your timeline, you would end up in the same timeline without causing a new split, while if you go to a date before the most recent time travel, you still would go back to the same timeline, but you'd cause a new split (and depending on certain circumstances, a split in your own timeline as well), and the new timeline that you appeared in would now be the one you travel to, with any time travelers that appeared in that timeline after you coming from any timeline that split off from your own. It made sense to me, anyway. As for the aborted futures... yeah, I got no fricking clue. However, I will say, I think the reason why Beerus killing Zamasu created a new timeline was simply because it was simply a change in history, even if Trunks didn't directly cause it.

    Nice tackle I'm a very big time-travel nerd and have been analyzing so many my whole life. New mindsets ahdm perspectives have lead to various disgrams for several franchises. Writers for time travel very rarely get all their ducks in a row. The multi-timelines and doorway mechanic is one of most solid out there. It counters most paradoxes. There are some specific mechanics that need decided and certainly some for the base story narrative. Info-dumps of super complex concepts are hard to fight in. Especially when your base story and audience is all about "punchy-fighty beat em up" arcs. The "infinite spaghetti", as I call it, is a tricky one to fix or gloss over and ignore. There certainly were more timelines rendered by all the old Z setting. Fitting them in narratively def is a passing issue even if they were thought of. A mechanic I considered Trunks to have is a "history / destination" log in the time machine. Allowing for a revisiting of a past location. Basically reopening of the doorway. But as for my normal models, any revisit to a past does spawn a new branch. I personally have thought about a whole channel discussing all this and for each franchise. I'm def open to compare models. :)

    A plausible plug for that green ring pot hole is; a ring exists for every timeline that directly connects to the timeline in which the rings exist. Thus, as there is 5 rings, that means that 5 other timelines have interacted with the one in which we see the 'main timeline' take place. It is entirely possible that in the future trunks timeline there are more green rings that exist, due to more timelines interacting with that one. This allows for the theoretical infinite timelines concept.

    It's stated by Trunks in the manga that it takes time for the time machine to get enough fuel to travel. So Trunks likely did wait and not make a 4th timeline. The whole idea of time travel is confusing when you focus on all the details. But your theory of *TM1* Trunks going to *TM3* [the DB we know about] and thus making a link between those timelines seems to be legitimate. So lets go from there. If the *TM1* time machine created a link to *TM3,* then it wouldn't matter that *TM1* Trunks went back to his time and chose a later date. Because they are already linked. I can't speculate if the link is due to a program that Bulma may have created, or if it was a natural outcome of the initial time travel. But either way, it seems to be the case because Trunks waited until he had enough fuel to do it again. Perhaps he waited for 3 years. I believe that to be the case, because in the manga, before he left, Goku asked if they will meet again. Trunks says something to the effect of "not sure. It takes a lot of time to gather fuel for a round trip in the time machine. If I'm still alive, I'll help in 3 years." Imperfect Cell wouldn't be strong enough to kill Trunks after going into the room of spirit and time. The Trunks that was killed would have had to be one that didn't use that room. We know this because that Cell, in his stronger semi-perfect form, was beaten by a Trunks who only used the room once at that point in the series. I re-read the VIZ translation of the manga and watched the subbed episode where Cell is explaining to Piccolo how he got there. It seems Cell didn't travel back 4 years like many people think. He traveled back 3 years. And (thanks to plot) it only takes him 3 years to mature from his egg form to the form he took while fighting Piccolo. At the same time this is contradicted by Trunks because he says the old time machine arrived 1 whole year before he got there and it came from 3 years after he left to the past. Damn it, Toriyama! I'll admit that I'm not completely familiar with Super as I am with Z but are the different universes interchangeable to timelines? I think I missed that explanation in the series. From what I know of the Black saga, whatever timeline future Trunks is in, that timeline has 12 universes. And Black killed the 12 kais in those timeline locked universes. What smells like copper?

    I agree with this theory more than the video. I believe Trunks does wait before going back and that the timelines are just linked somehow. And that’s what Toriyama intended so I’m happy to go with that. But as a Z stan I won’t even begin to conjecture about Super since nothing about that series has proper incentive to be canonically consistent after 20+ years. It’s fan service imo. Krillin took on an SSGSS Kamehameha. I’m not interested.

    13:30 here's the part where I think you got some stuff wrong. When Imperfect Cell went back in time in Timeline 5 he probably had to have gotten killed by the Androids. The Androids had already killed so many people meaning Cell couldn't absorb enough power so when he attempted to absorb the Androids he probably ended up getting Clapped by Android 16. The Androids still ruin the timeline so the Trunks from Timeline 5 goes to Timeline 6 and the same Trunks goes 3 extra years into the future to create Timeline 7. Because Imperfect Cell from Timeline 1 had gone to Timeline 5 and the Future Trunks from Timeline 5 created Timelines 6 and 7; then that means there would be a new version of Imperfect Cell in Timelines 6 and 7, almost as if he was cloned due to time travel. Future Trunks wasn't the one without a home timeline. It was these 2 different versions of Timeline 1 Cell. This version of Cell believes he's from Timeline 1 but actually doesn't have a home timeline. Hopefully this makes sense.

    Now I know what I'm missing for Xenoverse 3 (and why we may never get it): - Instead of revisiting the events of X1 like X2 did for the most part, you're staged to address the Temporal Seams that the Breaker Civilians are currently handling and being trapped in. -- The alternate branching timelines that have blossomed due to time-travel will be the explored scenarios that have more story fleshed out, rather than being reduced to mere Quests you get graded for. --- We potentially have the ground to explore an entirely different arc, due to these Seams' issues. ---- It can also be assumed that the Seams are a result of trying to over-correct these tears and changes in reality, which is why people across the multiverse are being independently being sucked into a concentrated point involving a Raider, whose presence demanded the creation of a time-machine in the first place. I know this is a bit of a convenient stretch, but considering time-travel is now one of the biggest behind-the-scenes factors that drives the creation of more Dragonball content, I'd certainly prefer to have something that 'branches off' from X1/X2 rather than going through all of those events for a third goddang time.

    When it comes to Whis, I think something fishy is happening with HIM and no his powers. Bear with me on this. Whis seems to have a deep understanding of ultra instinct, a form said to grant autonomous movement to the point it can predict and dodge/counter future moves the moment the body can recognize an attack. I believe he is living about three minutes in the past with an ultra instinct strong enough to pull that off. His temporal do-overs are really just him pulling off ultra sick ultra instinct, and he has, to some extent, the ability to grant this ability to others. Thus in Resurrection F, Whis didn't stop Frieza's attack from killing Goku & Co., he gave them enough foresight so he can convince Goku to finish the job. Now, this is involving a story after evidence for came out, but headcannon is a bitch.

    Gonna stop at 8:27. You aren't one to talk about not making any sense. For starters, there isn't any rule stated about how multiple trips make a secure connection, that is just something you came up with. It can be logically concluded that in actuality, it is only when the Time Machine is first used. Nothing in the main Canon goes against that and only supports it. Future Trunks only moves between his own and the one he first goes back to. The Trunks we meet was never destined to be defeated by Cell either. This is due to the fact that Cell had already returned when Trunks first beat Frieza, changing the future of that Timeline.

I thought that was the very thing you were assuming didn’t happen, and that’s what confuses me.

Hence, we only have 3 timelines in Z and 3 additional in Super. The main story, Trunks', Cell's, Goku Black's originating line, OG Zamasu's before he got Hakai'd and the one Goku Black created from travelling to Trunks' which we see in Super and which is reset out of existence with his life in the end of the arc.

    I always took it that changing the date you want to time-travel to only creates a new timeline when the date is earlier than that you have prievously travelled to. Therefore, Future Trunks showing up three years later after killing Freeza and King Cold would not create a new Timeline, but Cell stealing his Time Machine and arriving earlier would. I also noticed a small hole in your explanation, you said that Trunks would go into the Room of Spirit and Time and grow strong enough to defeat 17 and 18, but he was still weak enough to be killed by Imperfect Cell, plus, his appearance does not have its post-ROSAT look.

    Yeah, the moment he mentioned that date change is what causes timelines to split, I knew his 25 timeline theory seemed ridiculous. From what we have seen, only traveling to the past of a timeline is what causes a timeline to split. We have never seen traveling to the future of one causing a split since time technically flowed normally without any changes to the past. The idea that 12 timelines are created by killing each Supereme Kai of Time is pretty ridiculous as well, since by his logic, the moment Future Trunks' Supreme Kai was killed, a new timeline would be created for no reason.

    There are many errors here. First, after Trunks kills Freeza and warns Goku, he doesnt go back home to check things up. Because Bulma already knew she couldnt change her timeline. Trunks specifically says that he got back to find a way to defeat the androids. So after giving Goku the medicine, he travels 3 years into that timeline future, now, this would be lets say in timeline 2, timeline one, being where Goku and all the Z warriors die. In this time line, they defeat the androids by using the schematics they found on Dr Gero lab, then Trunks go back to his timeline, and defeats the androids there, so when Cell wakes up, there are no androids to complete his perfect body. This Trunks never trained with Vegeta, since they had no need to, so he isnt able to defeat Cell. Cell kils him steals his machine and goes back, thus creating timeline 3. Now here we have that since he travel to a point Trunks was in the past, he starts changing that Trunks story, so this is Trunks 2, the first one being the one who trains with Gohan, destroys the androids, then dies at Cell´s hands, this one who will train with Vegeta, withness Gohan kill Cell, goes back to his timeline, kills 17 & 18 and then kills Cell, this would be another Cell. And how do the Trunks go back to their timeline, after having make alterations in the past? To travel in time is to travel in space, this is a reality in our universe, and Im pretty sure in the DB universe too, as when Trunks activates the time machine at the end of the Warriors of the Future Special, you can see the time machine traveling through space. So there is no magic point created betwen the points of time travel, and Trunks didnt wait 3 years to go back, other wise we would have seen him getting bigger, as he did after a year with Vegeta, lets remember he is just 16, so years do matter a lot. The time machine, simply have a way to return home, to its one timeline, but when going back, it creates a divergent, thats why we can have two future Trunks, one that dies at Cell and one that kills him.

    I’m just gonna share my opinion on this. There is technically five canon timelines in Dragon Ball The first timeline is where “First Future Trunks” is killed by Imperfect Cell. That trunks goes to the Second Timeline called the “Unseen timeline” because we never see it, however DBM covered this. In this timeline, Kami refuses to let the Z-fighters into the hyperbolic Time chamber because the androids haven’t done anything wrong. Bulma creates a remote to shut down the androids permanently. This is given to Trunks, which he takes back to the first timeline I referenced. The third timeline is where we the viewers follow future trunks we all know and love. His future is the same as the timeline 1. The fourth timeline is where we follow the Z-Fighters, and main story takes place. After, killing timeline 1 Trunks, Cell arrives in this timeline. The fifth timeline is where Zamasu killed The universe seven supreme Kai, and therefor, creating another timeline.

    This entire video is poorly thought out, although it's a confusing subject. Timelines 1&2 are the most complicated, although assuming that Supreme Kai of Time didn't just delete the Original Time Travel Timeline it's likely Trunks went to whichever he wasn't from to get the android shutdown device. The Original Trunks never trained in the hyperbolic time chamber & was killed by Cell in a sneak attack. Timeline 3 is Trunks Timeline created by Cell's interference which gave Trunks knowledge of Cell & the power needed to kill it. Timeline 4 was the main timeline we all know, which is fitting considering the number 4's relation to the monkey king that inspired Dragon Ball. Timeline 5 was created because of Goku Black wearing the Time Ring & being immune to the Destroyer Energy Effects while wearing it. Timeline 6 is the Whis Gift Timeline. Now we have all the Timelines beyond those Main 6 in Dragon Ball Super thanks to Dr Slump, Dragon Ball Heroes, & Dragon Ball Xenoverse. The GT & Bardock Timelines are among those & of course the Supreme Kai of Time has to deal with Time Fragments created by TimeTravel which aren't true timelines.
