13:14 In the show’s defense, DB started out with Goku living in the woods thinking Bulma just wanted to show him her dirty ol fanny for his magicial wish granting orb, now he has the ability to move his body without thinking at times training under a literal god. Narrative wise it is jarring but escalation wise it feels just about the same.

[@livestreamgaming420]

Best summary.

[@tatocezar1]

It isnt that jarring, with how the setting works being a xianxia with sci-fi elements, aliens, magical creatures, gods and myths are basically staples of the genre.

[@dominickperez2952]

It's not that comparable. Goku's journey started as a search for the Dragon Balls and grew from there over a long period of time. The magical Dragon aspect is present since episode 1 and ends that arc with finding the Dragon Balls and summoning the dragon. This show goes in like 20 different directions that are only sorta vaguely related to eachother

[@MarissaChillya]

I just feel like it's important to clarify for anyone confused, and for Mark too, that characters like Towa, Mira, Demigra and Fu are actually from Dragon Ball Online. DB Online has a long and complicated history, since it was a big deal that it was canon when it released, a lot of its content is still considered to be canon. Towa and Mira are an example, and the short green Yardrat type are another example. The two are more recognizable as characters from Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2, the latter of which finally made Fu into an adult, since he was a child in DB Online. Since the """series""" this video is covering deals with time travel, they threw in Xenoverse characters. Mark seemed to not understand this when making the video so I thought some clarification was necessary. I remember finding Fu somewhat compelling and Towa and Mira especially compelling in Xenoverse 2, but it's been years since I played the game. I really couldn't tell you why they are here or if this is meant to follow up on Xenoverse 2 plotpoints, I can only say that I hope not because if that's the case, fans of these characters have such a travesty of a property to conclude them. also mask goku is bardock

Exactly, it isn't supposed to be some well thought out sotry in the first place. I think the problem with most peoples perception of SDBH is that they think of it as an actual series. When in reality, it was never supposed to be an actual coherent series, just a cool commerical. And for an elongated advertisement, it does pretty well showcasing the product it is advertising.
