Yo Qaaman, let me run something by you lol If Raditz never came to earth, then Nappa and Vegeta wouldn’t have known about the dragonballs and they wouldn’t have come to earth. If Nappa and Vegeta never came to earth, Piccolo wouldn’t have died and they wouldn’t need to go to Namek. If they never went to Namek, they would’ve never met Frieza and Goku wouldn’t have turned into a super saiyan. If Goku wasn’t a super saiyan, he wouldn’t stand a chance against the androids…so that’s why Raditz is the savior of Earth. Thoughts?

I dunno theres a chance that earth was destroyed aswell. Given the way future trunks' timeline went too(in DBS) i think eventually Babidi and Dabura(they are out there looking for Boo who is on earth) got to earth and wouldve been able to awaken Boo uncontested by anyone but the Kaioshin. Dabura could take him so my guess is they made it to og timeline earth eventually and it was destroyed by them or Boo. Bulma obviously perished. But Thats just my guess on a possibility.

Because the timeline we see in the anime that has the cells games. Then goes into dragonball Super Mai, the fox and garlic jr turn young using the dragonballs. Only for Mai to grow older with child Trunks. So if you think the original timeline Zeno destroyed it would not have Mai and Trunks together. Not to mention in the original time line before time travel happened. All the Z fighters were killed. So there would be no Goku black. Also there is no dragnballs with Picalo killed so Mai will not be younger. And would be much older then Trunks. For the sake of it lets say she's the same age as Goku. Which dont seem that bad. Until you realise Sayins grow old much slower then humans. So Mai would be old enough to be Trunk's mum.

In my honest opinion, this is Qaaman's best video even after 8 years. No disrespect to his current work AT ALL. This video is just THAT good and it holds nostalgic value to me as well. Now that Dragon Ball Super has happened this video could probably be redone and updated due to the retcons and changes Super introduced. Also on a side note: I cannot listen to Solid State Scouter and not hear Qaaman's voice explaining something in the background of it. I don't know if any Dragonball KZreadr has made a song from the series as synonymous with their channel as Qaaman has with Solid State Scouter. Iconic.

This was so well done man. I've had similar general thoughts, so watching this video go in depth was amazing. Keep it up man.

See, I think that trunks was setting the time in the timemachine, where he wanted to go but as he was navigating AGE 760....761....763....763 Cell showed up and trunks could not enter his intended timeline on the timemachine and got killed by cell. So cell entered the time machine and pressed the button and went to age 763. Does this make Sense?

Qaamans Land looks like you will be needing to update this timeline here Qaaman because i am about to break some GT fans hearts. Ok after going through Xenoverse Trunks explains that GT trunks is another copy of him right? We both know this information, now i know people are going to try to discredit me because the context is from a video game, however the idea exists within the core of Dragonball lore. either way it's okay but you can't discredit the logic here, in the video Quaaman shows the results of when you use a time machine. You create alternate timelines, now whether you agree on his timeline is another thing but in my opinion it makes sense. So taking Qaaman's timeline, and Qaamans Land you can use this information however you would like. i have been trying to figure out for years how in the world you can take Dragonball GT and prove that it's an alternate timeline from the main-story. i use to think GT and Fusion Reborn was of the same timeline, however the shadow dragons prevented that, It's a long story. Anyways prepare yourselves for this, because when Trunks went back to his timeline he created another timeline that is post cell games where everything happened in the the other timeline where Future Trunks left at. the exceptions that i can only find is that of GT's existence that's it and Dende for some ungodly reason not having healing powers in Age 788.

Nathan Davies The fan solution stating that the Androids killed Cell in a battle during the HOT timeline is ridiculous simply because he is stronger than them (why weren't they able to kill him in the main timeline) HOWEVER my theory is: There was two Cells in the Hot timeline. there was the Future cell hiding and there was the Fetus cell developing. So my theory is that the Androids killed Future cell unintentionally while he was in the SHELL hiding because they'd been doing a lot of destruction in the HOT timeline which means that later, Trunks killed the Fetus cell who had luckily developed and survived the Androids rampage. This is more logical.

Travelling past creates new timeline or you "jump" from timeline to another (those "links" timemachine creates). Travelling to future either travels on same timeline or uses those links. When Zamazu travelled in future i believe he should had only travelled on his timeline - i have no idea how he jumped from timeline to another. Sure, he could find that link - but how did he know that link existed and how did he jump to that exact link? See video above.. there are multiple links already. Not only Zamazu travelled from his timeline to future Trunks's timeline BUT Kais followed him!?!?!?!? HOW!?!?!? Can you somehow track powerlevels? Did they just sense that someone used that exact link between timelines??? It is quite impossible to make sense in that.

I know this video is 8 years old, but I believe there is a way to fix the whole Cell problem in this video down below. Cell goes back into the past of the alternate timeline that was already created by Trunks from Timeline 1, thus creating an alternate timeline that branches from it. And of course, Future Trunks would also arrive 3 years later because he is a part of its history.

I already have a solution.

Am I alone in that I understand his explanation perfectly? After his explanation I can wrap four timelines and five Cells around in my head and admit that the time travel cell in the H.o.T. timeline is a problem. The way I see it is that either he was too weak when he fought 17 and 18 and was killed by their combined efforts or 16 existed in this timeline and he defeated Cell but was destroyed/too badly damaged afterwards.

Let me offer an "Occams Razor" explanation for why the Time Machine was set to 763 when Cell stole it from Trunks: We can see that Trunks was just preparing to climb into the machine as Cell came up on him. It's entirely possible (and the simplest answer) that Trunks hadn't yet punched in his intended destination of 767. It might just be the case that each digit is entered manually (push a button to increase number, 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 etc.) and Trunks had only reached the age "763," when Cell ambushed him and killed him. And not knowing how to program the machine, himself, Cell just hopped in the machine and let it do its thing.

@@Odinshort23 Tbh I don't really agree with the explanation given in the video. To my interpretation, the Cell from Timeline 1 ended up in the main timeline. The HOT Timeline had only one Cell, and only diverged from the original timeline because Trunks traveled to the main timeline. It's easier when you think of the timelines as alternate universes.

Fantastic job Quaaman. I have to say, this video is inspirational. I am writing a novel about time travelling and this video made me realise how to look at it with a different perspective.

Just imagine how long of a video it would take to go into this kind of depth with the DBS Zamasu saga timeline LOL.

That would also explain why would Cell be extra careful in the dbz timelime. Once he realizes he's sharing a timeline with future trunks, he would know he had failed at least once already. Of course he got careless when he achieved his perfect form as his objective had been already accomplished.

25:00 First plothole means there is FIVE timlines not four. there is one more timeline before oryginal timeline in vid. 1. First lane - goku died, trunks back in time but failed (maybe go without medicine?) and created line with same history as his, didnt find out how defeat androids who killed him. cell didnt use timemachine but stay in future without trunks, reaching his perfect form - everybody died. 2. Failed line (oryginal in vid but with timetraveler) - goku died, trunks back in time and created unseen line in vid, ending killed by cell who knows about timtraveler and cell go back in time to 4th timeline - almost everybody died. 3. Unseen timeline in vid - trunks know about cell and destroy lab with him. So there is no cell - happy timeline until buu who kiled everybody because goku didnt achive ssj3 - everybody died. 4. Future trunks line we know from dbs (HOT in vid) - almost everybody died. 5. Changed time line from dbz - the golden winner - everybody live! This is only explanation. And there is no first plothole then! And there is even 4 rings in dbs. All created by timemachine. :p No wonder zamasu was furious at trunks for messing with time and chronoa from dbh punished him :p trunks you bad boy...

There ARE 5 cells #1. Killed by gohan during cell games #2. Possibly killed by trunks in larva form after finding artificial human's blueprints. #3. Possibly killed by artificial humans in attempt to absorb them. #4. Killed by trunks in failed ambush. #5. Killed by trunks and kuririn while destroying dr. gero's lab.

You made a mistake the cell that returned from the original timeline didnt go back to the HoT timeline, (he is also never seen there anyway which further proves my point), but he only returned to our known timeline which we are currently in (where the cell games and stuff happens) .

Great breakdown! I understand that some of the plot holes had to be filled but I dig that you used the likliest explanation!

As an engineer, i really think this is the only explanation that doesn't have logic flaws, reason for which i want to congratulate you. Not even Toriyama knew how the system worked, and that's why there are some plot holes. The only plot hole i consider relevant and can't find solution for is the fact that Imperfect Cell (from Original TL) in Main TL states that Frieza cells were extracted just prior to being killed by Trunks in age 764, and that if Dr Gero wanted he could have used Trunks' Cells (although he didn't want). The thing is that Cell (from the Original TL) couldn't ever possibly be created with Trunks' Cells even if Dr. Gero wanted, because Trunks wasn't even born in year 764 (fight with Mecha Frieza) and no Trunks arrived to that Original TL. Besides, in that timeline, as you well said, Goku was the one who killed Mecha Frieza due to Trunks non-existence. The other 2 are easy to vaguely justify (in HOT timeline, Original TL Cell was killed by the Androids) and the year 763 time-travelling set up could simply be due to the time machine not being yet set up correcly as Cell interrumpted the operation.

@user-pf1fr2zg1e

Жыл бұрын

I agree with all of it except for the end. I dont think Cell interrupted Trunks while he was placing the destination. I think Trunk had intended to go to that year on purpose. It was known in DBZ that if Trunks knew where Gero’s lab was, he would be going there instead of warning the Z Warriors. The Trunks from Cell timeline, at that time knew where it was because he found the blueprints of the androids in the past. I believe that this Trunks wanted to save another timeline by eliminating the threat before it could even happen, and now that he had the knowledge he could very well do it.

I get what you're saying but you have to think of it as sort of a paradox...say if cell kills trunks and goes back in time to the 'main timeline', it wouldn't be the same main timeline we know because trunks hasn't gone back in time. That means the events of the hot timeline would unfold because the z fighters wouldn't have trained to fight 17 and 18. that results in trunks going back in time and creating another timeline - which is the actual main timeline we know...rather than referring to them as being different timelines it's easier to think of cell just 'going back in time'...if you think about it like that there's no way that only one timeline can be created. hope that makes sense...damn this is fucking with my brain :/

+Dx Reaper (JSRF) Trunks1 goes back to 764, creating the unseen timeline 2, destroys lab(laboratory basement), gets plans for remote, Bulma2 creates remote, trunks goes back to timeline 1, "deactivates" androids. in 788 Cell1 kills Trunks1 and then goes back to 763, creating a timeline where Cell1 went to the past instead of Trunks, Thus the History of Trunks Timeline is created(Timeline3), Trunks3 goes back to age 764, which created a Timeline where both Cell1 and Trunks3 both exist(Main Timeline), Android saga, Cell Saga, Trunks3 returns and "Kills" androids, age 788 Cell3 attacks Trunks3, similar to Timeline1, Trunks3 Kills Cell3. There would have had to have been 5 Cell's trip to the past is what created Trunks3, who killed the androids, unlike Trunks1 who used the remote to deactivate them. Cell1 would have had to exist in the main timeline and Trunks3's Timeline.

the best time theory from Dragon Ball Z ever and thank you Qaaman

This is awesome. I'm brand new to DBZ and just made it to Trunks coming to the present. Your theory will help me out a lot.

For those of you who are not convinced that there are 5 Cells, consider the following: You have a machine that can duplicate anything that you want to. You have 3 baskets, each one containing an orange. You take one orange from basket no.1 and put it in no.2. So, basket no.1 is empty, no.2 has two oranges, and no.3 has one. Now, you duplicate basket no.2. Now we have 4 baskets. No.1 is empty, no.2 has two oranges, no.3 has one, and the new no.4 has two. Think of basket no.1 as the Original Timeline. The Cell (orange) from this timeline (basket) traveled to the HoT Timeline (basket no.2), where there is already another Cell (the orange that was already there). The HoT Timeline (basket no.2) was duplicated when Trunks traveled to this timeline, creating the Main Timeline (basket no.4), where, just like HoT Timeline (basket no.2) is two Cells (oranges). Basket no.3 is just the Unseen Timeline. So, there are now 5 Cells....or oranges...whatever...

ADJUSTMENT TO TIMELINES // PLOT HOLES EXPLAINED First, before getting into my timelines explanation, I want to thank you largely for this video, as it helped me greatly in piecing together the puzzle My timelines are essentially the same as yours, but with a little twist to take care of the plot holes ... First, Cell in the “main timeline” said to Piccolo that Trunks killed Frieza ... so that means the Cell from the “main timeline” came from the “unseen Timeline”, NOT the “original Timeline” How this happened? While all is speculation, the most obvious answer is that a Time Machine can just as easily be made in the “unseen Timeline”, especially since Bulma and the others already know it can be done from seeing Future Trunks ... then the Trunks that is killed by Cell is the Trunks that grew up from a baby, NOT Future Trunks from the “original Timeline” The beauty of all the above is that we can actually scrap the term “unseen Timeline” and instead have 1) the original Timeline, 2) Cell’s timeline (beforehand thought to be “unseen”), 3) History of Trunks [HOT] Timeline, and 4) The main Timeline The coordinates were set to Age 763, as Cell claimed to just push the button ... perhaps there was a good reason for the all-grown-up-Trunks from the “unseen Timeline” (...known in my theory as Cell’s Timeline) to make a trip back to 763, whether it was a new threat or whatever Finally, one may say there is one glaring error in this theory, which is what happens to Future Trunks from the “original Timeline” in regards to Cell showing up ... 1) either Trunks defeats him, which is highly unlikely from all we know, or 2) Cell kills Future Trunks also in the “original Timeline”, wants to go find the androids to become “perfect” and just “presses the button” in the Time Machine, but this Time Machine would be set to Age 767 or sometime thereafter, perhaps with Future Trunks actually planning to tell the Z Fighters that he deactivated the androids in his time, and this Cell would just be going to the “unseen Timeline” just as Future Trunks would have ... given the Cell larval stage and approximate 4 years needed to mature, the Z Fighters could have defeated this Cell in the “unseen Timeline” (AKA my “Cell Timeline”) around Age 771, as they would have been far stronger than his “Imperfect” self and the androids would have been long gone ... the assumption here though is that the Z Fighters would have killed him without getting a backstory from him, perhaps right after he sucked up an entire city (Piccolo did try to eliminate Cell in the “main Timeline” before he was able to get the backstory) ... without knowing the backstory, then the all-grown-up-Trunks would still be susceptible to being attacked and killed by the Cell still growing in Dr Gero’s underground lab in Age 788 ... Let me know thoughts or if anything in the show directly conflicts with my theory above ... One more cool thing from all the above in terms of what the futures look like in the 4 different timelines ... one timeline would have no heroes left (original Timeline) ... one timeline would have all the heroes left minus Trunks (“unseen Timeline” which is my Cell Timeline) ... one timeline would have no heroes left except for Trunks (HOT Timeline) ... and one timeline would have all the heroes left (main Timeline)
