Dragon Ball is among the most successful media franchises of all time, but the canon status of its films is often questioned. The most recent films, 2018’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly and 2022’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, are considered canon to the overarching story, but the vast majority of the franchise’s movies are not.Frequently contradicting details from the main plot, many of the Dragon Ball films are entertaining what-if scenarios rather than direct continuations. There are, however, several films that are canon — or, at least, don’t actively contradict the main story, leaving their canonicity up for debate. Thus, fans are left wondering which Dragon Ball movies are canon.Before the anime series adapted the “second half” of the manga as Dragon Ball Z, the anime was referred to as simply Dragon Ball. This matched the manga that it was based on, and just like it, the anime adaptation was incredibly popular. Thus, it resulted in four separate movies that built upon this success, though one of them came out several years later. Sadly, none of these are canon Dragon Ball movies.
