So, how many timelines are there now?

  • Future Trunks'
  • Cell's
  • Unknown
  • Main
  • Future Zamasu's?
  • Black's?

I mean, where else did they come from, they can't be from Trunks' timeline.

Also, maybe Dabura has a tan? Though considering the different colors Kai's can be, it wouldn't surprise me if the demons were also multicolored.

Depending on the way Zamasu's time travel works, his shenanigans in particular might not have changed the number of timelines at all. On the other hand, there being a timeline now where Future Trunks never used arrived to get help about Black is highly likely.

This is where having two distinct versions of time travel with two different sets of rules gets tricky.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how Zamasu apparently did a Body Swap with Goku when Goku was dead. I suppose we'll know soon enough.

I mean, Goku should still be in the Afterlife come Trunks arriving back to his time to destroy the Androids and Cell, and Kais usually live in the Afterlife.

....

Oh right.

He's been allowed to keep his body before, so he'd definitely be allowed to do it in Trunks' timeline.....which makes me wonder why he never took Baba's one day offer and came back to help fight the Androids now that I think about it.

Alright, it seems when I was counting the amount of unique non-fused characters in DBF, I accidentally skipped 100 somehow...

So, thanks to that, I had to entirely re-recalculate how many fusions are in the game. Long story short, there's 146,280 POSSIBLE FUSIONS in this game.

How on Earth is any collect-'em-all RPG after this one gonna compete roster wise?

They say they all have unique spot patterns, but that's a graphical lie. tongue

Oh, also, I just realized that since a time ring is created whenever a time split happens, and that there's 6 rings (including Black's), that must mean there's at least 5 timelines.

Did Goku just say that he and Chi-Chi have never kissed? The man had two children and is now a grandfather, and he and his wife have never KISSED?!

Yeah. That's some serious Fridge Logic.

Is it possible he doesn't recognize any kissing he did with Chi-Chi as what Trunks was doing?

Yeah, it could be a misunderstanding between Vegeta and Goku, though Goku has never canonically kissed anyone either. The Cell Saga kiss was filler, so who knows really.

Also, you know what would be cool? A spin-off where Beerus and Whis travel the universe for awesome places to eat!

I'm bit perplexed that no one told Trunks the whole story about androids saga tiil now. That time when a future version of him showed up sounds like something that should come up.

Also, they go into the future with no actual plan, which Vegeta dully notes... and then comes with a brilliant one. "Beat Black". Truly, a super elite genius.

So Goku never kissed chi chi? Weird.

Figures that the only one willing to work with Zamasu would be... Zamasu.

Beerus' Hell's Kitchen would also work. And we could even have the Kitchen actually be in hell, too, to give it more authenticity.

So if Beerus doesn't approve of the food or service he blows up the restaurant... along with the planet it's on.

...

Shit, that's basically what he's already doing, isn't it? Like, I think he destroyed a planet because the food they gave him was a bit too greasy.

Which Hell; filler anime Hell or canon Toriyama Hell that's a flower paradise. >.>

[up] That was in the anime, and he only blew up half of the planet. In the manga he blew up the entire thing with a finger beam, but the aliens on that planet also tried to poison him to try killing him.

Honestly, Trunks was only a baby when it happened. It was completely before his time, and so it's possible that he knows about it, but never looked up any details. At most, he might be aware that Mr. Satan didn't defeat Cell and that's it. They likely just never saw a reason to bring it up, since it was irrelevant.

Here's the thing: The characters? They don't really give a fuck about the Androids thing. Because it's the past.

Most of them are very accustomed to ignoring the past, what with the whole "most of the fighters are reformed criminals" thing.

That's totally fair.

So something I said in an earlier post got me thinking:

How come when the Androids started wrecking things, Goku didn't train up in the afterlife, (along with Piccolo maybe) then use Baba's one day back on earth clause to just help Gohan out and fuck them up?

Hell, Gohan could have used that as well?

There were still ways for the Z-Warriors to come back. All they needed to do was train themselves up enough so they could get the power to do it in one day.

The only part of the past that came back was Freeza. Twice.

But they don't exactly dwell on their past at any time.
