    Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account While Akira Toriyama never let pesky things like continuity get in the way of a good story, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z put more effort into respecting canon than most fans give them credit for. It wasn’t until modern Dragon Ball when contradictions started becoming truly prevalent, with Dragon Ball Super infamously bringing the End of Z’s canonicity into question. Dragon Ball DAIMA, in particular, has only muddied the canon playing field...

    Between giving Cell a Senzu Bean and letting Dr. Gero build Androids 16, 17, 18 & 19 over the course of three years, Goku makes a lot of bad decisions in Dragon Ball Z's Cell Saga.

RT @nappasan: この頃の若いDBファンを見ていて多々感じるのは、ドラゴンボールという作品を作家・鳥山明の創作物として捉えるという視点が薄く、「コンテンツ」としてシリーズを捉えているということ。
