Dragon Ball Toei FAQ

First and foremost the rules of respect and on speculations in the Dragon Ball Canon FAQ thread apply to this thread as well.

This sub-forum discusses the movies and Dragon Ball GT, nothing about the manga.

The movies do not fit into the Dragon Ball continuity and shouldn’t be tried because each movie has its own errors that prevent it from connecting into the canon continuity of Dragon Ball. Akira Toriyama did not write the stories for the movies but did create character designs for some of them.

There are 3 Dragon Ball movies, 13 Dragon Ball Z movies, 1 Dragon Ball GT movie, and 3 movie specials.

Movie: Frequently Asked Questions

Turles/Tullece looks like Goku are they twins?
No, they are not twins and Turles was made to represent what would happen
if Goku didn’t hit his head and lose his memory. In the movie Turles/Tullece says something along the lines of there weren’t many different types of lower class warriors, hinting at some sort duplication of the lower class warriors.

Who is stronger Cooler or Freeza?
This can be answered through what we are told during the movie. Cooler before transforming to his final stage told Goku in the Japanese version that "Hmph, you do as well as I expected. Enough to have defeated my brother. However, the real hell begins now! Once you witness this hell, I will show you no mercy, no matter how you scream. Not until I've torn you to bits... one time more." and according to the Dub "Well, well, not bad. Rather impressive, actually. Freeza....yes, I could see how he would have trouble with you. My brother was a pest. I would have killed him myself, sooner or later. He was always trying to beat me, trying to prove that he was the best, that he definitively had the edge. But then it happened. (...) I transformed. As you know, I'm in the third transformed state but I found a fourth beyond it!"

How Strong is Brolly?
It isn’t possible to give an exact number or pinpoint a specific power gauge but the best educated guess gives a range for Brolly to be between Cell first becoming complete and Cell complete at full power.

Gohan looked to be a SSj2 in movie 10, was he?
No, Gohan was not a SSj2 for several reasons. Gohan did not have the electricity to signify the SSj2 stage and also the release of the movie is after Gohan goes SSj2 at the tournament yet Toei still doesn’t have the right hair style for Gohan. Gohan is also a SSj on the movie box cover and not SSj2.

Was Goku physically there during the final energy battle with Brolly?
No, this is basically Toei rehashing something from the Dragon Ball manga, which is done quite often. This scene parallels Gohan’s kamehameha duel with Cell, being there only for encouragement and voice of hope.

The sword Future Trunks has is Tapion’s right?
No, this is one of the plot holes that haunts Toei. It is impossible for Future Trunks to get his sword from Tapion because Goku and the others are dead in his timeline. The Dragon Balls also are mere stones because Piccolo is dead, causing the magical box never to open that releases Tapion.

Dragon Ball GT: Frequently Asked Questions

How far apart is Dragon Ball GT from Dragon Ball Z?
It is ten years.

How is Gohan able to turn into a SSj?
Simple Toei likes to defy the laws set in the Dragon Ball universe and by doing so they can remove Gohan’s power up from the Old Kaioshin.

Is Super Saiyan 4 a true transformation?
Well, yes and no. It doesn’t follow the sequence of levels 2 and 3, and aren’t even needed to obtain this new level. What needs to be achieved is the initial level of super saiyan. For the transformation to occur the saiyan needs to absorb brutz waves to go golden great ape, and after controlling that form then does the saiyan goes to the super saiyan 4 body.
