This is why GT made the smarter choice by beginning after Z's ending.

Agreed.

Agreed. I wasn't a huge fan of GT but at least they did that right

[@bellamylawx9479]

The thing that doesn't make sense in gt is vegeta and goku not going beyond ssj3 (vegeta also achieving it). During the timeskip after cell goku and vegeta both reach ssj2 and goku went beyond that, I would think that even in a peaceful world they'll both still be training, vegeta should have achieved ssj3 and both should have reached a higher level even if goku was training uub

Marron went from a toddler in DBZ, to a baby in DB super. Which is weird, because she should be around 10 during the tournament of power.

[@Latinspidey98]

It was said that the end of Z is actually the end of super and that's the reason for all the characters being aged differently and uub never appearing or being mentioned at least by name seems like we are getting closer as pan is now older and goten and trunks are teens as seen in Superhero

[@Mar-wg8yy]

u do know that super is the time in between them beating buu and goku flying off with uub at the world tournament right, not after goku flies off

[@gamingguru2k6]

@Mar-wg8yy Marron is younger in Super than she is in the Buu saga. The Buu saga happens before Super. Marron is 13 during end of Z. If the earth Dragon Balls only work once a year, then Marron has to be 10 during the tournament of power, and she looks like a baby.

[@shadowmaverick15]

@@AndrewAce. Way to miss the point... And never said Super was flawless but people pretending here Z didnt have huge retcons is just dishonest A good example is one used in the video agaisnt Super, yes Kid Buu is irrelevant after all the events that happened in Super but so was he at the end of Z, 10 years passed are we suppossed to pretend that Goku and Vegeta sit in their ass for 10 years and are still at a level where Kid Buu would be relevant? This despite Bulma complaining they never see Goku because he is always training, so which is it then ? It doesnt add up , by that point they should have been way above Kid Buu even Super Buu and yet nobody says anything because Z is " perfect"

[@noblue72]

It says something about how unpopular this ending is that this is one of the least complained about parts of Super. I think Uub would have been embraced more if Goku visited his friends more than once every 5 years and if he was like "Yeah I'm training him but I have instant transmission so I'll visit often."

[@Breaker242]

Toriyama in interviews seemed to have such a fixation on not wanting Goku to look like a hero and I just think he sometimes went too far with that. He was already flawed enough as a character throughout the original story but in EoZ and Super its like he every now and then wrote/outlined these over the top moments where Goku comes across way too inconsiderate and selfish just to drive the point home if we didnt get it perhaps? But then ironically he made Minus Bardock and Gokus origin story in Broly to be much more similar to Superman compared to the way we saw in specials/movies and other Toei materials & also the U6 saiyans were designed to be as non-threatening and docile as possible. But having Goku remain a nuanced character who doesnt *exklusively* care about fighting but also at least takes somewhat into consideration how his family would feel is bad because if you care about your family then you're too much like Superman? Idk Toriyama seems to have a bit of a contrarian streak about him if you read his interviews or even look into his other non-DB works

[@TheLastInferno]

​@Lebanese Edgyist Such a perfect commentary and so true!!! He needs to finally be secure with heroic Goku that we have, who is a different type of hero but a hero nonetheless. Decades of material has already been published and imprinted on the hearts of fans, so just go with it!

[@ElKabong3345]

@@Breaker242 With Toriyama, it felt like he wrote Goku to be that stupid in Super in direct response not only to how the west kept making him be like Superman-clone in personality, but also Toei making him dark and gritty in GT with SSJ4 (personality, NOT design). After a while, he had enough of how others kept misinterpreting his material, so he made a new series to give them a fresh _hard_ reminder. The first time he made Dragon Ball, Toriyama probably thought he made it *abundantly* obvious who Goku is, but that didn't work. So now he went off the opposite end to "balance" it out. Remember how mid 2000s it was actually the cool thing to hate on Dragon Ball? Oh man, the Naruto fans sure tried to make it look like shit, though soon after they went to pick a fight with other franchises too anyway 🤪. So many things that would meme/stereotype like fights just becoming Kamehameha light shows, he wanted to remind others what the soul of Dragon Ball was about... even if the old age dementia made him forget a lot of things. You have to admit, in 2016? Everyone was *hyped* for Super in the Tournament of Power. A lot of you hate it now, but back then it was nice to be on the same page with others about liking Dragon Ball again.

[@Watermelon_Man]

@@Breaker242 Yeah I think it’s fair to say that Dragon Ball evolved to a point where I don’t think Toriyama was qualified to write it anymore because he became too obsessed with making the audience see the characters the way he sees them instead of allowing people to have their own perspectives and interpretations based on the portrayal he initially created.

[@thefearofg0ds758]

This is why I've always been against setting things in between established events. It NEVER works. Something always gets screwes up, forgotten about, retconned or doesn't add up. It happened with Star Wars when in Episode III Anakin states *my powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count* To which Count Dooku replies *Twice the pride, double the fall* Clearly hinting that this is their 2nd confrontation and Anakin's chance to redeemed his previous humiliation. Yet the Clone Wars(set in between Episodes II and III) felt the need to not only have Anakin and Dooku fight like 6 times, but have Anakin clearly get the better of Dooku a few times. So now it makes no sense for Dooku to underestimate Anakin in Episode III and Anakin's line doesn't even hold anymore weight nor does it make sense. Idk why writers keep doing this.

Super just shows how close gt was in following what z did. Yet super fans act like super was closer.

[@saltystick_99]

Bro, real talk, when GT ended, I *cried* because it felt like actual closure. I may have not liked the show, but it _felt_ like a conclusion during the last few episodes. When Super ended, I had this feeling of "Huh, that's it?" I feel like that's quite telling on the emotional value of Super. GT felt like it was following Z like you said.

And you do the same with the original manga too pointing out it's retcons and plot holes showing you aren't biased but just saying it as it is. Keep up the good work, hope KZbin isn't stressing you out and you're having fun.

[@LSMMIKE]

Thank you so much for your generosity and kind words. I appreciate it.

[@OMAR-vk9pi]

Why do you hate super so much?

[@bitterthenu7278]

@OMAR-vk9pi Because I don't get into "universes" or franchises. Everything is case by case and reviewed as individual products. The LoTR trilogy is my favorite work of fiction both books and movies but I don't like the shadow of mordor games or the hobbit movies. I like 4 star wars movies and dont care for the rest or any tv show, I liked the harry potter movies but couldn't care less about the new game or the new movies. I could keep going but you get it. I hate the notion of being a fan of an entire franchise so therefore you consume every piece of media from that universe, like Marvel fans who watch every single new movie and play all the games they release. It makes no sense, I like Infinity war and hate endgame. I like Winter Soldier but hate civil war. You should be a fan or not a fan of individual products not entire universes. Otherwise you are completely and utterly biased and cannot have a truly critical view of something. I am aware that I technically did not answer your question, I ranted for too long and my message got too big so im ending it here. I will actually talk about Super if you are not already bored from this comment.

[@dominiquerobinson8888]

Some fans of Super are the equivalent of crackheads. "Just appreciate that we getting something", "Why you hating on the Super prequel, atleast Goten and Trunks doing something" As long as its content, its good. No matter how ridiculous it is. As a fan I watch super to keep up with what's going on, but i can admit the many flaws it has. Plus there's an art in knowing when to end things.

[@bitterthenu7278]

@dominiquerobinson8888 basically what I said in my big comment, liking it simply because it is a part of the universe they are fans of. And I dont support that idea, it allows the corporate people to push out lower quality products because they know people will still eat it up regardless of how bad it is

[@peterludwig4599]

My guess is that they retcon the ending of Z in the final pages of Super. It will play out mostly like it happened in Z, but it will correct some of the errors that happened because of Super.

[@Moogman0422]

I never understand why people think uub is going to be incredibly weak to everybody else one end of z comes around. Like did everybody seriously forget or just choses not to remember when just a portion of his power, when he was a younger child no less was sufficient enough to give Goku enough energy to take out Moro?

[@vdelprado9251]

Fr Dragon ball fans just have never watched or read the series

[@rexviperfan]

I think it's it's a combination of how Uub was handled in GT, and also how it's a bit inconceivable for Uub to enter as a main character and start taking W's. He's only human, he has no transformations, etc. Personally, I would love to see Goku train Uub to use Kaioken, the spirit bomb, Hakai and Ultra Instinct. Perhaps Uub will become a god of destruction. Personally, I always wished the humans & Piccolo would have used and perfected Kaioken such they can go 50x and beyond without the repercussions. Perhaps Uub can do this though.

[@alex1vid]

Still think it was weird how Super introduced Burlma's sister. IMHO that was pretty wild. Bulma, a character since the beginning of Dragon Ball, apparently had a sister. And to this day, she has never appeared again. Goku mentioned Raditz, (vs. Gas) and even Vegeta mentioned Tarble (in the I guess canon Broly movie). But no other mentions of Bulma's sister.

[@tiablue9106]

technically she was introduced in jaco but yeah. the only other place tights appeared besides that 1 Super ep was in some random animated bumper for a convention. (also in the ToP arc there's a scene it's implied bulma's talking to her on the phone but we don't know if it was her)

[@VTheSlumpGod]

Imo dragon ball ended with Z. Super really feels like a fan-fic to me. ESPECIALLY the manga

[@Jotari]

I think when God Ki was introduced it should have been specified that the characters with it are not more powerful than anything we've seen before, they're just different. Maybe it has like a super effective advantage over regular ki that makes it necessary to learn, but that characters like Beerus aren't monstrously more powerful than Buu was. Not only would this tame back the power scaling significantly, but it would allow the human characters to compete on a playing field again by basically resetting the pieces. Maybe Krillen can't blow up universes with his regular Ki, but if he learns to channel God Ki then his own martial arts experience gives him a fighting chance against God Ki users.

[@vla1ne]

them NOT giving the humans something like god ki is annoying me endlessly. they created a whole new path of power, and close off every route for the characters that need it the most to be relevant.

[@everardo2345]

This was THE END of dragon ball that’s why. Toriyama didn’t intend to make anything else after Goku flew off with Uub and money wasn’t a factor because he was already a millionaire long before he created dragon ball, so this was the end period. Super exists because he was forced to write, but in his eyes it doesn’t exist so it’s not canon end of story

[@BlueMageWithSoulEdge]

I like this. A DBZ fan that actually has logic. It isn't a surprise that Super is a retcon, nor is it confusing. Remember the series was suppose to end with Vegeta. What pushed it on were big dick sales. How are they gonna fit it; whatever way money decides. And with the still dislike for G.T., Ub may just get entirely rewritten.

[@dstr001]

There is another timeline split here; one where Beerus wakes up early leading into super, and another where he doesnt leading into GT. Another massive plot hole is no one knowing who Uub is, especially Dende, Krillin and Vegeta since Vegeta was the one who brought Uub up in Super in a conversation with Krillin and Goku before the universe 6v7 tournament, and Dende literally keeping an eye on Uub since he was born.

Yeah as big as DB Super is for mindless fun it does not fit at all with the manga. This series is a direct contradiction even if it does some things that I do like. Also another thing worth noting is that in DB Super Goku is asked in the TOP arc by Dende to train Uub when he meets him later which isn't really how this is supposed to work. Goku didn't decide to train him until he fought him in the manga. Also it's completely impossible for Goku to have not seen Vegeta in 5 years they train on the same planet literally all of the time.

[@christopherkinsella3912]

8:45 Yo BASED. This is exactly what I was saying when they introduced Uub in the Super manga and the people who replied to my comment, and there were a disappointingly large amount of them, were so delusional they actually tried to argue that Uub did, in fact, matter. Like, SSJ3 Goku kills him QUICK if Buu can’t regenerate. Uub being as strong as Buu is impressive since he doesn’t have to transform but he’s still only human and has an expiration date. What happens in 70 years when Uub dies? Are they going to reincarnate another top tier villain to replace him? And why is it purposed that somebody who couldn’t beat SSJ3 Goku would have any impact since Gohan has his boosted strength, far exceeding SSJ3 and and SSJ3 was ONE SHOTTED by Beerus, who then remarked at how he’s impressed by Goku’s unstable, unrefined SSJG form, which is supposed to pale in comparison to SSJ Blue, as shown by Goku running the gamut of Transformations against Jiren. This is the problem when you write for fan boys and marketing.

Roshi may not be brute strength but dbz and even db established that speed and strength are relative to one’s power level. Roshi not only dodged Jiren at point blank, but he punched him… Jiren is insurmountably stronger than Buuhan and apparently so is Master Roshi.

[@mds_main]

Easiest explanation is that the end of Z (and even GT if you want it) happens in an alternate reality where Buu never stole Beerus's pudding. When you think about it, all of Super arcs absence can be explained away with just that one difference of Beerus non sticking around. No Beerus means no BoG arc or Champa arc, no Champa arc means no Zamasu arc (since the tournament wouldn't have been shown on GodTube) which also means no ToP arc (no idea of the Tournament and the absence of a second Zeno probably meant he never got the idea to erase the universes since in the future he never did it) which also means no Granolah arc and Broly movie (since Freeza is still dead). This leaves out RoF, Moro and Superhero, but I think these can also be explained rather easily, like for instance Goku not being on Beerus's planet means he could sense Sorbet and Tagoma on Earth and stop them, or Moro's escape could be prevented somehow, or the new Red Ribbon army could be stopped before they recruit Hedo.

The Answer is Simple. Super isn't canon. At least not here. I agree to what some fans say, Super Manga, Super Anime, GT, Movie Universe and EoZ, are all separate timelines. I prefer Eoz as an ending, but I do love me my Cute grumpy cat boi, SSJ4, and Icarus.

[@cyberdemon6517]

the worst retcon is that in the original EoZ vegeta was living peacefully with bulma trunks ans bra now he has to worry about freeza again AND is back to square namek in the arms race against black freeza

[@Magnvincent]

The 5 years thing is the only major retcon. They’ll probably have to change that line but it’s not the end of the world. I think Goku would want to fight Uub. He’s the reincarnation of Buu. The reincarnation of Piccolo gave Goku one of the best fights he ever had after 3 years of training. Freeza trained for 4 months and was god level. Gohan with 0 training was the strongest person from earth at 4. I think he’d be interested in 10 year old Uub. Uub might be the only character with a high enough potential to fight Black Freeza. All in all I do find any retcon to the end of z annoying and i really didn’t want Super to effect it but it’s not too bad.

I actually quite like the retcon, they can’t do much worse than that ending for Z. I was never much of a fan of the whole “everyone just split up and only talked every 5-10 years for the rest of their lives” thing. There were a bunch of small things I didn’t like about it, but that was my main gripe. It’s just depressing. I also really didn’t like how we never got to see uub before said ending, so it felt like he got shoehorned in and stole the spotlight for me. Like we knew he existed but I’d have felt much better if the ending was him going off for a spar with vegeta like the way the super anime stopped after the tournament of power or something; it would be a great send off. “Oh, here’s a super cool character, now he’s goku’s student, and you will never see any of it” was also pretty depressing 😂

[@matthewcrockett288]

Since Dragonball Super began, I always considered the end of DBZ to be the "cliff notes ending." I considered DBGT to be completely retconed after Dragonaball Super began. I thought of proof of the series going in a completely different direction was evident with the younger Pilaf gang instead of a younger Goku.

[@shadowmaverick15]

This video is a crystal example of complain about something in Super but pretend it never happened in Z and if it did make excuses for it, so are you telling me with a straight face that Kid Buu being relevant in Super doesnt work because all the events that happened in Super but it works in Z for reasons? Let me explain the end of Z happens 10 years after the battle with Buu, yet Goku gets excited at the prospect of fighting his reincarnation despite the fact that both him and Vegeta should be way above Buu by that point( before you argue there were 10 years of peace let me remind you that even in those times the saiyans always train). So are you telling me Vegeta and Goku sat on their ass for 10 years not gettinf stronger so Uub remains relevant to their power? And yet Bulma complains she never emsee Goku because he is always training, so which is it? In this thing alone Z doesnt make sense but nobody says a thing because how would you point a flaw in Z, meanwhile if Super did it suddenly it doesnt work

[@VacantMinded]

I'll play devils advocate for 1 point and it's Goku being excited about Uub. Keep in mind Uub has never been trained at least not properly and so his potential should be through the roof if his base power is around kid buu. Otherwise yeah can't exactly disagree with this, super is just a giant retcon with a couple of moments that are lore friendly but otherwise retcon after retcon.

[@fulltimeslackerii8229]

but why be excited about that when gohan can just pull shit like beast form out of his ass and catch up instantly without ever training

[@markskirby]

There’s a lot to unpack here. So for starters you really need to dive back into the comments from toriyama himself during the revealing of the super anime and manga, why it takes place where it does and when. He didn’t want to go forward like GT but he felt it would be fun to tell the story of what happened in between that period of the 10 years. There are a few things that don’t line up but he has made an alternate ending to the original manga before, I’m sure they’ll have some odd tie into it as they’re approaching the end of the manga shortly. As for Uub you seemed to forget that in the Moro arc they included a lot of back story with the daikaio that buu absorbed which gave buu god ki, with Uub being the direct reincarnation of kid buu, he now has god ki within him. I found that to be a smart way to make his character some what be capable to match the newer levels of what the characters have reached. And the energy gathered from Uub during the end of the Moro arc was implied to me incredibly powerful.

[@ssjgotenks2009]

that is ptloh hole i kid buu had god ki then goku and veegta wonted be able to sene him just like fireza kpeeing hs body in super made no damn sene way dos he keep has bdoy but not vegeta when fireza killed wya more then vgeta

[@markskirby]

Dragonball super creates many continuity errors with the end of Dragonball Z. That's its biggest problem. It tries to do too much during the 10 year timeskip.

Would be cool if after they're done with all this super garbo if they remade, not remastered, GT, making it fit in better with super, keeping mostly the same just making it better and minor changes to make it aline with super better, maybe have some cameos from super, make how goku gets turned to a kid different, replace all super saiyan 3 scenes with super saiyan God or blue, to make it make sense (wouldn't make sense if he was using 3 in fights he had back in the day if we know he has new forms by this point) and buff super saiyan 4, making it the true, final, strongest form, or hell even keep it going make a new kinda ultra instinct super saiyan 4 looking form if they wanna continue with dragon ball after what ever they have planned next

[@plains7000]

End of Dragon ball Goku is my favourite version of Goku because there a lot of mystery as everyone including me wonders what Goku has been going through in his life. In fact I actually like the ending of Dragon ball where Goku flies off with Uub in the distance. If Dragon Ball super anime ever comes back and if the current Dragon ball Super manga goes past the end of Dragon Ball where Goku flies off with Uub in the distance. Well I've wanted a saga where Goku is living with Uub and training him in his village so Uub can defend the peace and give Goku a rematch that is in a somewhere else location and not in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber/Room of Spirit and Time like it is in Dragon ball GT.

[@XioXioli]

Let's be real, the writing in Super is as close to sh*t as can be

[@1sonjohn44]

The fact that DBS exists is a retcon, another bad attempt to cater to modern audiences at the cost of ruining a franchise.

[@AstralLaVista]

Hey at least its not the modern audiences that marvel are after

[@markmagician2471]

But DBS is worse non canon

[@Merik2013]

Thing is... Dragonball as a franchise consists of a multitude of timelines outside whats acknowledged in the series. GT occurs in a separate continuity than Super, so even when Supers' timeline of events reaches Goku meeting Uub at the World Tournament, things won't unfold like they did in GT. It'd be impossible for that to be the case given the events of Super (though I wouldn't be surprised by a return of an even more powerful Omega Shenron). While we're talking about timelines, I should also point out the existence of the DB Online/Xenoverse/Heroes timeline. Yes, those are all interconnected. The player characters who make up Xenoverve's Time Patrol come from Dragon Ball Online's timeline, a timeline where neither GT or Super occurs. Xenoverse's Conton City and the Supreme Kai of Time (Chronoa iirc) serve as a means to connect all the multitudes of timelines. Another timeline worth noting is the timeline in which all the old movies took place. Obviously, classic Broly didn't show up during the Cell Saga in the original and shove Vegeta's face through a building, but in the movieverse he did... and then reappeared in two other movies afterward. In general, the movieverse has a very different power scaling that's inconsistent with the growth of the characters in Z and can only be explained by the progressive challenges presented in its own timeline. Bottomline is that the events at the world tournament at the end of Z are naturally going to be off kilter due to the events of Super because they lead into the GT timeline. In other words, those events were depicted in a timeline where Super didn't happen. Yes, it's a retcon, but it's not one without an explanation. Bulma only started hoarding the dragonballs and wasting wishes on frivolous things like making herself look younger after the events of Resurrection F and she started doing that specifically to stop people like Frieza's goons from showing up and misusing them again. That event can't have happened in GT's timeline as GT obviously never had such a thing as a "super saiyan god" and because of that Golden Frieza would have been more than enough to wipe out the planet.

[@PrinciaInk]

the dragon ball z ending can still be canon maybe in the last episode of super goku wakes up and everything what happend in dragon ball super was just a dream like in super mario bros 2

[@BobbyLalashki]

Yeah, that scene with Bulma and Vegeta visiting is the biggest problem with Super existing, they'll have to re-write it somehow or add to it, when they eventually get past the end of Z section. Everything else can kinda/sorta work out, though it is indeed ridiculous that we've had villains like Zamasu and Moro show up after Buu... though with that said, it was really awesome how they incorporated Uub in DBS - him having God Ki due to Kid Buu retaining it is a great idea and sets him up to have even greater potential. Think about it, Uub is as strong as Kid Buu, has God Ki... his potential is HUGE and it makes sense why Goku would be excited to meet, train and fight against him at the end of Z, considering he knew that Uub gave him the BIG serving of God Ki near the end of the Moro arc. Still, it would've been so much better if The Future Trunks arc, Tournament of Power and everything afterwards happened after end of Z, would've made much more sense, but after GT Toei and Shueisha were afraid to go that route and they decided to play it safe instead, which ended up causing more problems narratively, unfortunately. That's what we get when DB is a corporate product, made for selling toys. :( But hey, I'll take it. I've always wanted new DB content and while Super has many flaws, it's brought many tears and smiles to the kid in me, who grew up with the original series and I am still excited for what the future holds!

[@MegaMachiOnline]

Friends Return | 2 years after Buu BoG | 4 years after Buu RoF | hardly a year after BoG U6v7, Black, ToP, Broly | practically filling same year as RoF, barely spilling over especially with Moro Moro & Granolah | Goku hasn’t talked to Bulma on panel Super Hero | 9 years after Buu Goku ultimately popping up between trips works but a lot of contextual things don’t line up too well pertaining dialogue around Uub unlike Goku’s “training trips” But considering Goku didn’t talk to Bulma for many years going from Junior’s defeat and Raditz showing up, I don’t think it’s impossible for Goku to stay out of touch, especially if Goten & Trunks can sneak sparring sessions and transformations from relatives

[@thomasjeffers3829]

My personal head cannon is that what happened in the manga was a timeline in which Trunks didn’t return because of Goku Black so everything going on now is the consequence of that 😂. It makes me feel better

[@EmeralBookwise]

That five-years comment makes _Battle of Gods_ alone almost plausible as a one-off exciting day in what was otherwise 10 years of peace. Sure, that means this would be Goku that had absorbed a portion of SSG into his base form, but maybe even that could have been just a lingering temporary buff that slowly faded in the following weeks and months. Goku would have tasted divine power, but if he never mastered it, he could still be excited for a rematch against Kid Buu's reincarnation. It's not until we get into the sequel that is _Resurrection F_ and the entire follow up series that is DBS, that everything get blow out of proportion to the point where attempting to reconcile it all strains credulity. Heck, even GT is plausibly compatible with _Battle of Gods_ alone, considering how the way Goku borrows power to reinforce his SS4 form is reminiscent of the SSG ritual, but one saiyan short of the number needed to complete it.

Goku Black, yeah he was hard and it'd debatable if Goku would consider it a dub, Vegito shredded him (manga) but he was immortal, but then Zeno just showed up and erased him. Also it was the future so it wasn't dire in the same way it would be to Goku if it was his timeline. TOP and after, seems like Goku just always gets a more powerful UI form or fuses to win.
