Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball Z is an indispensable anime classic that’s kept its audience entertained for close to four decades with no end in sight. Dragon Ball Z continues to receive the most attention out of all the franchise’s series, but any new Dragon Ball content is now set within the framework of sequel series, Dragon Ball Super. The newest series pushes its characters to unprecedented heights as they are progressively exposed to God ki, new tiers of celestial power, and a whole multiverse of friends and foes. Everything about Dragon Ball Super points towards it being Dragon Ball Z’s successor. However, it’s actually set before Dragon Ball Z’s conclusion and takes advantage of an unusual ten-year time-skip that punctuates the ending of the previous series.Dragon Ball Z turns the clock forward a full decade following Kid Buu’s defeat and uses the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament to function as the characters’ reunion. Dragon Ball Super begins much closer to the battle against Buu and well before the “Peaceful World Saga” that concludes Dragon Ball Z. Super is still going strong and continues to cover new territory, which makes its placement within DBZ’s timeline increasingly problematic. On a storytelling level, this raises some red flags and may not make sense, but everything that’s happened in Dragon Ball Z’s time-skip still technically connects with Dragon Ball Super.Dragon Ball is full of martial arts competitions, but the World Martial Arts Tournament is the franchise’s longest-running tradition that’s been around since the original series. The Tournament is held every three years, which makes it much easier to put together an exact timeline for characters and events. Dragon Ball Z’s time-skip epilogue is centered around the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament. There is nothing in Dragon Ball Super that breaks this canon and the series is actually quite careful to not include any World Martial Arts Tournaments so that “another” 28th edition happens and creates inconsistencies. To go one step further, the next canonical installment of this tournament occurs in Dragon Ball GT when the 31st World Martial Arts Tournament is held (the 29th and 30th editions take place in the video game Dragon Ball Online).RELATED: How Goku Ruined Dragon Ball Z’s Near-Perfect EndingRELATED: Dragon Ball Z Vs GT: Which Series Had the Better Ending?
