Dragon Ball Theroy! Multiple Dragon Ball Universes!?

I watch Dragon Ball Super every chance I get. And I gotta say,as a Dragon Ball fanboy,I'm so hooked. However,I do have a few gripes with it,mainly Continuity Issues with Z and GT.

And that brings us to my Theory. There Are Multiple Dragon Ball Universes! The most notable ones being the Retro One and the Modern One. 

We'll start with the Classic One. In the Classic Universe Super doesn't exist,but GT Does. Not only that,but Most of the Filler exists too. Y'know what else doesn't exist in this Continuity? All Of The More Recent Dragon Ball Animations! Battle Of Gods Can't Exist because it contridicts Super Saiyan 4 and since Ressurection F is a direct sequel to Battle of Gods,it don't/can't exist either.

Episode of Bardock,Goku and Friends Return,Dragon Ball Online,Dragon Ball Minus,and Jacko the Patrolman are exclusive to the Modern Continuity. The Garlic Jr. Saga and ALL scenes with Krillin's Ex Maron aren't canon to either main continuity. 

Mainly because the 1st Movie "Deadzone" (where garlic jr. is the main villain) contradicts some things,such as Krillin seeing and meeting Gohan briefly in that movie,while aware that he was Goku's son. But in the Anime series,He (along with Bulma and Roshi) were shocked to find out that Goku had a kid.

Maron's debut was in the Garlic Jr.Saga,so she can't exist in these continuities if the Garlic Jr.Saga itself doesn't. And besides,Deadzone is mentioned throughout the saga.

Both main continuities share Bardock - Father of Goku and History of Trunks,however.

Here's a timeline: Bardock - Father of Goku-------Dragon Ball--------Dragon Ball Z (and History of Trunks)----------Dragon Ball GT.

Dragon Ball Super mostly erases the continuity of GT,so Super can't be canon to this Universe. However,it IS canon to the Modern Continuity. Dragon Ball ZKai aka Dragon Ball Kai is a mostly fillerless remastered re-dub of Dragon Ball Z,that follows the Manga much more faithfully than the Original Anime. As a result some of the character's personalities are slightly different,though more faithful to how they were in the Manga. 

Goku is the biggest example. In the original anime Goku was slightly more Heroic than he was in Toriyama's original works. But in Kai,Goku's personality matches his Manga counterparts perfectly.

The modern continuity is also larger,with many more events and characters.

Heres the modern timeline: Dragon Ball Minus-------Bardock - Father of Goku (and Episode of Bardock)--------- Jacko the Patrolman-----------Dragon Ball (fillerless and remastered)-----------Dragon Ball Kai/ZKai (and History of Trunks)----------Son Goku and Friends Return---------Dragon Ball Super----------Dragon Ball Online.

Dragon Ball GT can't work in this Universe,mainly because Super contradicts it. Plus the characters personalities are the same in Super,as they were in Kai/ZKai. Dragon Ball Online was co-created by Akira Toriyama and is the ONLY video game to be part of one of the main continuities.

Also,The Movies and Plan To Eraticate The Saiyans/Super Saiyans aren't Canon to either main continuity and are their own separate thing. In fact,they Can be considered part of a 3rd DB Universe. The only exceptions are Bardock - Father of Goku and History of Trunks,which are apart of All Universes.

Here's the timeline for this 3rd Universe: Bardock - Father of Goku----------Curse of the Blood Rubies--------Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle---------Mystical Adventure----------Deadzone-----------Worlds Strongest--------------Tree of Might--------Lord Slug---------History of Trunks--------Cooler's Revenge-----------Return of Cooler------------Super Android 13---------Broly - Legendary Super Saiyan--------Plan To Eradicate The Saiyan's/Super Saiyans-----------Bojack Unbound----------Broly - The Second Coming-----------Bio Broly----------Fusion Reborn---------------Wrath of the Dragon---------------Battle of Gods (movie version)------------Ressurection F (movie version)--------------------A Hero's Legacy.

What happens between these movies is up to interpretation. Dragon Ball GT - A Hero's Legacy doesn't contradict Battle of Gods or Ressurection F,so I didn't make an error. I didn't list Dragon Ball - Path to Power because it was a retelling and mashup of Dragon Ball's Goku and Red Ribbon Army sagas. 

Which brings us to another Dragon Ball continuity. The 'Path to Power' Universe. As of right now,the only known events of this Universe are Bardock - Father of Goku and,of course,The Path to Power.

The Video Games themselves are each set in their own seperate continuities. The only exception is Dragon Ball Online.

There are many many more Dragon Ball Universes that I really don't feel like discussing. Point is Despite Akira Toriyama's original intentions,Dragon Ball has branched out into Multiple Continuities and as long as Dragon Ball exists and keeps it's healthy fan base,the number of continuities will keep on increasing.

That's all for now. Hope everyone enjoyed this. Haven't done anything Dragon Ball in a while,so this was a nice change of pace.

Thanks for reading.
