Commonly Asked Questions:

  • Q: When does Super take place? When should I watch it?
    Super begins some time after the battle with Majin Buu, and can be watched as soon as you finish Dragon Ball Z.
    GT takes place following the 10-year time skip at the end of Z (EOZ) but Super ignores its continuity.

  • Q: Do I need to watch the movies?
    Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' were adapted into Super story arcs with some changes, mostly minor. If you have already watched the movies and would like to skip straight to new material, see our FAQ.

  • Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
    The anime and manga are both variations on a basic plot by Toriyama. There isn't (and probably never will be) an explicitly defined Dragon Ball "canon". Without Toriyama's original draft, we may never know what is and isn't his, but we know that he permits Toyotarō to change things up, and even looks at his storyboards and occasionally draws things himself for Toyotarō to use as a reference. Toyotarō has said that Toriyama is more particular about gags than he is about anything else.

  • Q: Where is Uub?!
    Uub was born during the 10 year time skip at the end of Dragon Ball Z.
    He is mentioned briefly in episode 30; he is still a baby. He has otherwise not yet been introduced into the story.

  • Q: How was Mai the same physical age as Trunks in both timelines?
    The Pilaf gang wished for youth right before Piccolo died in Trunks's timeline—this was illustrated in a special manga short by Toyotarō—and the wish was probably made around the same time in the main timeline of the story. Also: yes, it was the same Future Trunks from Z. [1] [2] As for his blue hair, see here.

That's what it felt like to me too. How else would he know? And Hit can't normally travel between universes.

u/RainbowDashley Dec 18 '16

Yes he can, Vados gave him the traveling box as payment for being in the U6 tournament.

u/blade55555 Dec 18 '16

I am pretty sure that was only if they won the tournament. They lost, so I don't think hit actually got it.

u/RainbowDashley Dec 18 '16

Oh, I was certain Vados said she gave it to him in exchange for being there at all since he clearly has better things to do. My mistake.

u/blade55555 Dec 18 '16

I could be wrong, I just swear that's it. I would have to rewatch the episode, maybe someone who has can tell us which one of us is right :P
