Enough blabbing lets get started!What is "canon", what does that word even mean? (No) Is GT really not canon? But that isn't really fair, people can't let their personal biases get in the way of the facts. For example, the hell we see in Z and the Hell we see in super are vastly different.
DBZ only existed in the anime, so can you really say Dragon Ball Z is "canon"?Well, you can't. Akira Toriyama had little to no input on the series and was not happy with how it turned out. The likes of Dragon Ball GT and Super Dragon Ball Heroes are their own beasts, not thought of as continuity or part of the main story mostly because they weren't penned by Akira Toriyama. Hello people of amino it is I, Tragically Dead or whatever you want to call me with an actual, serious blog.

Among fans of the series, Dragon Ball GT, GT being short for “Grand Tour”, the love/hate for the series still rages to this day, some proclaiming that Akira Toriyama's love and involvement in the series made it canon while others denied and hated it for it's derailing of the series direction. That might be true, if trunks backstory and bardocks backstory didn't completely contradict the manga! Think about how the companies feel about that, everyone in this fanbase bashes and talks shit about GT yet still get mad when Ssj4 isn't in a new db video game.

GT can't be canon because it contradicts Dragon Ball Super. Your actions have consequences people.Is GT really as bad as you remember? So lets start with the Old Toei canon, this timeline contains the Dragon Ball Anime, the DBZ anime, and the GT anime since it comes right after Z and follows the Z anime very clearly. Merci Toriyama Grâce à Battle of Gods il nous prouve ENFIN que Dragon Ball GT est non canon ( pour notre plus grand bonheur puisque Toei a vraiment fait de la merde ) Voilà pourquoi Battle Of Go - Topic Dragon ball GT non canon ( preuve ) du 30-11-2014 12:29:13 sur les forums de jeuxvideo.com The Toriyama canon, the Old Toei canon, and the New Toei canon. If you want to consider GT the true sequel to So why do people consider DBZ canon and not GT?My theory is that because people like Z and in general hate GT they convince themselves that Z is canon and GT isn't. encore un debat qui va s'enflamé s'il vous plait evité les insultes ou metaphore - page 2 - Topic Dragon ball GT non canon ( preuve ) du 30-11-2014 12:29:13 sur les forums de jeuxvideo.com Even so, continuity is simply up to you as an audience. Another contradiction is that Super ends around 5 years after Kid Buu died yet Goten and Trunks still look like they are 8.
Is it part of the Old Toei canon?Why? Z, Super, and GT are all in different parallel universes which follow different timelines.My theory is that there are 3 different timelines/canons. So you supertards can't really complain about contractions now can you.But what about Toriyama, it's not like Z where the anime was based on the manga, Toriyama himself gives the plot to Toei for super so it must be canon!

First, Dragon Ball GT is considered non-canon.
And because we can't see the manuscript and don't know which parts come from Toriyama and which parts don't, we will never know what exactly is canon in super and what isn't.Well that's pretty easy, the main canon is the original Dragon Ball manga, Jaco The Galactic Patrolman, and Dragon Ball Minus. As for the New Toei timeline that contains the Dragon Ball anime (still) plus Kai, and Super since they are both newer and follow toriyamas vision more than Z and GT do. The other 80% is written and animated by the same people who made GT. (No) so if you're ever thinking about making a GT hate blog, or a fuck GT meme, or a GT isn't canon video maybe read this blog first, or hell even rewatch the series to see if it's as bad as you think.
And all this "filler" and added material to the anime is made by the same people and the same company that made GT! I also find it funny that people hate GT so much and call itnon canon yet get pissed whenever Super Saiyan 4 isn't in a new db video game, more on this laterYou may be asking, what about Dragon Ball Super?
There are moments in the more current and canon Dragon Ball Super in which it seems they are trying to connect it to the canon, but for the most part, almost every fan will suggest to skip GT entirely. So before you start writing your blogs and comments saying "GT ISN'T CANON!1!1" keep in mind that it is canon, just a different canon.On a side note GT really gets more hate than it deserves, sure it isn't perfect but it is still a damn good show and I guarantee if it came out now instead of Super a lot of you would have different feelings on it!And think about this, I touched on it earlier but if you're gonna bitch and complain on amino, twitter, YouTube, or whatever about GT and then expect Ssj4 to be in all the new db video games then you are part of the problem.
I've already explained what's in the main Toriyama canon so I won't touch on that again.
Also, the events in the Bardock special were canon because in the Dragon Ball Z manga, there was a scene where Bardock was shown confronting Frieza.The number one app for all Saiyans, Namekians, Majins, and more!
