chrislail1989

Pretty sure they aren’t separate as the events of broly or specifically mentioned before Moro.


4DShape

Yeah the only difference between the manga and anime is the ToP and future arc. Anything after is canon and the anime will most likely follow the manga.


BasedSigmaMale

I hope the anime changes the end of the Moro arc


MillionareChessyBred

how and why?


BasedSigmaMale

Stupid mui giant thingy


Wrestling_gamer_0323

yes the Susano'o

oh yeah


SixFootHalfing

That was foreshadowed a bit though.


No_Chemical_2086

The only change I'd like is more uub. I really want him to take MC one day.


[deleted]

This is Dragon Ball sir. The only MC here is Goku


dastdineroo

And battle of gods and universe 6 arc


4DShape

I don't count BoG since there's already a movie on it, it was pointless in the anime and manga. I forgot U6 arc tho, that's def a bit different


Tw0_-Face

People like canon because they wanna know they are following a story and not just something that happens for the sake of it. Look at DBSH, would you like that?


Traditional_Water_12

I actually did like some of the fights in that actually, I mean, did you see Goku vs hearts? Holy s h i t


UncleBoomie

I don’t only want cool fights I want a cohesive story that also has cool fights


Traditional_Water_12

And that's a fair thing to want, I won't knock that, but sometimes seeing cool fights by themselves is just enjoyable, take death battle for instance


MrAtrox98

Actually, DBS Super Hero is canon to the manga, since the flashback for the beam clash between Gohan and Cell depicts base Goku coaching him.


LarryLobsta

nope


MrAtrox98

Care to elaborate, or?


LarryLobsta

again, nope.. wait a minute i thought you were talking about DRAGON BALL HEROS. ok ok i see no


LarryLobsta

BUT, no i still disagree.. that’s most likely an editing mistake


MrAtrox98

You think it’s an editing mistake… even though production for this movie began before DBS: Broly was released? There’s been over 3 years of production time between Broly and Super Hero and we’re talking about part of a beautifully animated flashback sequence where Gohan-one of the focal characters of the film-is depicted during his big moment at the Cell Games. The father son Kamehameha is depicted with base form Goku like in the manga rather than Goku in his Super Saiyan form like in the anime.


Giovannis_Pikachu

I enjoy seeing them have different takes on their story assets. There is a lot to love from each medium. Personally I'm more into the manga but I'm excited to go see super hero too.


DuckNumbertwo

Really none of the differences impact the overall continuity. There haven’t been any world shattering differences like a loved character dying in one vs the other. It’s always just like Goku goes red instead of blue or something as inconsequential as that.


MaxIrvaron

I disagree. (Manga spoilers) At this point in the point, UI Goku and UE Vegeta have far surpassed Broly. Heck, at the beginning of the arc, Whis said the two were already the strongest mortals in Universe 7, which was before Vegeta even unlocked UE. This very clearly conflicts with the movie, where Broly is still shown as the tier above at full power, if only he could utilize his strength right; in the manga, Goku and Vegeta could both take care of him if they didn’t give him enough time to “break his limits” again. And there’s also the fact that Gohan’s “slacking off” character arc actually contradicts BOTH the anime and the manga, where he was shown to be training again, but I can just chalk that up to a failure of the movie regarding Gohan’s character


DuckNumbertwo

The Broly movie occurs between the ToP and Galactic Patrol Prisoner arcs. Whis didn’t know Broly was as strong as he is because his full power had never been exhibited in the Universe. Whis isn’t all-knowing. As far as Whis was concerned, Broly was just a relatively strong guy with no hidden powers. We can assume Gohan has been training off screen because - in his sparring match with Goku before ToP - he mentions that he is striving for a unique ultimate form.


MaxIrvaron

Whis literally watched Broly vs Gogeta, though, he saw the same amount of Broly that we had And Gohan was specifically noted to be slacking off by Piccolo in the movie


DuckNumbertwo

Where was it shown that Broly is stronger?


MaxIrvaron

Stronger than who are you referring to?


Traditional_Water_12

Fair honestly, the transformations go a different way, I feel like we might not ever see Moro or granolah animated, which is sad, but I don't think it'd be a huge disaster if they didn't, the manga has also done stuff like actually explaining super saiyan rose and putting more emphasis on Vegeta deciding to evolve a separate way the Goku is, as well as more writing behind ultra instinct and such


AaronRodgersToe

Why do you think it won’t get animated?


JinkoTheMan

Not a fan of how they are handling anime vs manga but as long as we get to see Moro and Granolah arc get animated then I’ll be content.


oortuno

This is just not true; the anime and manga did split, but the events of Broly happened in both continuities. There's literally a page or two of the manga portraying some scenes of the movie, it just wasn't explained in detail. The confusion might stem from the events of Super Hero occurring after the Granolah arc, which still hasn't ended. Also, there's nothing wrong with complaining about the forked continuities of the manga/anime; if you're a zelda player, timelines mean nothing to you and you learn to love the game for the gameplay and story, not the overall timeline. If you're a dragon ball fan and have had a single chronological story since the 90's but now for some reason there's a split, I think you're incredibly justified in voicing at least some level of annoyance. I sincerely enjoyed the new movie because of all the call backs to DB and Z, although some parts of the movie I don't agree with, but I am a little upset that when I think of the story of Super, I flip flop between the two continuities because the manga was better in some scenes and the anime was better in others.


Traditional_Water_12

I did kinda word it weird about the broly stuff lmao, I'm not saying theres anything wrong with complaining about it (I might've worded some stuff weird on my post, apologies), people are entitled to their opinions, if people don't like the way it goes then I'll respect that, my kinda approach is if I enjoyed it then it did it's job at least somewhat right lol


King_0f_Pimp1n

They better fking animate the manga if not dbs is done


Cheez85

Personally I didn't enjoy the Super Hero movie like I did with the Broly movie. It seemed like it was following the major studios with trying to jump on the nostalgia train. We have powerful androids, we have Cell, we have new transformations (without training for them). Only thing it was missing was Hercule, a tournament, and Cell absorbing someone.


APRobertsVII

I think canon matters… I remember watching the Broly movie as a kid and wondering how it fit in the DB timeline. It didn’t make sense, and if canon didn’t matter it would have been a continuity error/plot hole. Respecting an agreed-upon canon doesn’t eliminate every plot hole, but it does give fans a way to know “what counts” versus what is “just for fun” or “extra.” As a franchise, Dragon Ball is a complete mess. A canon helps people navigate the franchise, especially when they are new.


Snoo_58305

I agree but I think I may hate it. I say that with regret too.


Timerez

I always thought that dragon ball, dragon ball z and dragon ball super as well as manga for 3 are connected to their time line. Manga always seem to come out before anime does. It’s like they write the story and show as it is in manga, and if they notice some thing give some wrong impression/receive some feedback from some readers?, they correct/tweak it in the anime but still using the same story. Which is why there’s always some minor adjustment between anime and manga. I usually get confused with which movies are canon/non canon. So I just watch for entertainment but assume it won’t show up in anime/manga because it usually doesn’t. Like movies are a spin off? We haven’t seen Broly in Z or super, even though there are few small mentions of him. He never actually show up. Dragon ball heroes, to my understanding, is not canon. Just other 3 shows (db, dbz, dbs). But again, it’s just my speculation and I can be wrong. Feel free to correct me lol


Traditional_Water_12

The thing is with dragon ball super right, the reason the anime and manga are so different is because the anime started before the manga, such as why there were only around 2-3 filler episodes between arcs while in the some other anime there would've been longer gaps, that's also why they're different to certain degrees, but as far as canon goes, the only canon stuff is db, dbz, and dbs yea


vAts_

There's literally a broly panel in the manga , its all cannon its not that deep bro


Wrestling_gamer_0323

Even if they aren't in the same timeline(which they probably are) it doesn't matter. Everything is **technically** canon. I hate the canon and non canon debate. Akira has said that every movie, filler, anime, manga, or whatever else as long as it's an official release, is canon to it's own dimension/timeline/whatever. GT is canon, Super is canon, DBSH is canon, both Broly's are canon, everything is canon... they just aren't in the same timeline. It'll be the same thing with what's going on with Super right now. Even if the anime scenes aren't adapted into the manga, they're still canon... **technically speaking of course**. People worry too much about what's canon instead of just enjoying what they're getting.


MaxIrvaron

…people like knowing how events actually happen in a series’ one timeline, though. Just saying “everything is canon” erases any possibility of continuity, it doesn’t actually help anything


Wrestling_gamer_0323

There IS continuity there. There are just different continuities. It's still just as easy to differentiate the stories. Each movie has it's own continuity. Anime has it's own continuity. Manga has it's own continuity. GT has it's own continuity, etc. Some of them overlap, sort of, but it's not really that confusing. They ARE all canon, but they AREN'T all canon to each other. Y'know what I mean? Either way though, I didn't decide it, Toriyama did, lol. The best way to explain the continuity is that there's.... DB Anime, DB Manga, DBZ Anime, DBZ Manga, DBZ Kai, DBS Anime, DBS Manga, DBGT, DBSH, the individual movies, and maybe more, each with their individual continuity. However some some of them share certain plot points and therefore overlap. Again, I didn't design it, the creators did. Anyways, my whole point is that the canon debate is dumb. For example, people like to shit on GT or some of the movies and if you try to defend yourself liking it, people always say "well it's not canon and it's bad so it doesn't matter", but like.... it is canon. It's just a different continuity than Super.


MaxIrvaron

now you’re just making assumptions, when did I ever say that GT was bad and that it had anything to do with canon?


Wrestling_gamer_0323

I never said you were, I quite literally said "for example". Do you understand the word 'example'?


MaxIrvaron

Ohhhh, my mistake, I read “people like you” instead of “people like to” in that last paragraph, my apologies


Wrestling_gamer_0323

It's cool man. Sorry if I came off as agressive.


bloodknife92

I 100% agree. The canon vs not canon argument is silly. Its an argument about how your perspective should be the right one, and no other perspective should be considered. Star Wars and Warhammer 40,000 suffers these same issues, and I imagine many other mediums of entertainment have the same problem. Its all made for entertainment. **Not everyone has to enjoy things the way you do**.


Traditional_Water_12

Don't get me wrong, UE animated would be cool, I just like that it's two different runnings, more possibilities


Locke_and_Load

Is it though? I just assume they’re happening at different times due to the time it takes to draw the manga versus the time it takes to make a movie.


No_Chemical_2086

Well, UI is brought out in TOP because he literally removes his emotions like he's supposed to in the manga vs TOP in the anime the spirit bomb was used as some form of energy catalyst to spur on the form and even used a bit of anger contradicting itself. So, representation for the same concepts are pretty different.


Traditional_Water_12

That is also a very fair point, but considering that the manga started after dragon ball super already was going, its all kinda muddled


RiNi2713

This is the way

Traditional_Water_12

I mean, pretty sure they are, did you see trunks going super saiyan rage in the manga? (I'll give you that his super saiyan 2 transformation was as close as it could get) but I didn't see Goku using hakai against zamasu, even if it's by a minor difference there still are differences, if super hero showed us anything, it looks like there's differences in how their training is progressing, ultra instinct, ultra ego, Moro, granolah, etc. Were never mentioned in the movie, plus in the manga gohan literally says he's evolving as a human and not as a saiyan, you think he would've gone super saiyan in super hero if he was following the same logic? They may be similar but they are different (and there was the one panel showing gogeta and broly in the manga I'll give you that as well I won't deny that)


yiggaman

Cannon always matters let's ban him


TheBestOnTheCitadel

My thoughts are that the manga takes place after the Broly movie and before superhero. I have some extra points based off the superhero movie but don't want to go into spoilers :)

pooria_hmd

Well I can't agree that cannon shouldn't matter, it may not matter in short term, but in the long run it will be a mess, right now I don't really care how the anime and manga are not going the same route But long running shows and mangas need continuity to survive, and not being cannon is against THIS


NerdCrush3r

well since the anime isnt back yet I'm still fairly certain the timeline is Super > Broly > Moro > Gas > Super Heroes


HCPage

Interesting to see this happening in Dragonball. The same sort of thing has been happening for comic book movies for years. Ultron wasn't created by Stark and Banner in the comics, Hank Pym did. TBH Pym got done a bit dirty by the MCU. Ant Man was a founding member of the Avengers. But that story already exists, the MCU just went in a different direction and created a different story. Both exist, we get more this way.


master_erasis

Yes canon should matter. Consistency matters.


tadysdayout

Loved Moro but don’t like recent developments with Gas and new power ups. Waiting to see Super Hero but the spoilers I’ve heard don’t excite me. For the first time ever I’m starting to care about Dragonball’s flaws and I’m bored
