3Many of the ideas of Salagir's webcomic have been outdated by ''Franchise/DragonBall'' material in the 2010's. The stories offer a lot of explanations as to why events in the anime took place the way they did. Many of these explanations [[EntertaininglyWrong are wrong based]] on the explanations we got from ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''.
4
5!! The following ideas have become outdated:
6
7* Who was the mother of Son Goku?
8** In 2011, Multiverse created Hanasia, a hot-blooded Saiyan woman with long hair ([[GenerationXerox similar to her son Raditz]]) who was a known member of the Saiyan elite, self-proclaimed as the "strongest Saiyan woman" of all time. She and Bardock likewise were very indifferent about each other, not exactly a relationship built out of love.
9** In 2014, ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'' introduced Goku's mom, Gine, a Saiyan woman with short hair ([[GenerationXerox similar to Goten at the End of]] ''Anime/DragonBallZ'') who was a non-combatant weakling who went to work in a meat factory. [[GenerationXerox Gine was a nobody just like her son]], and she and Bardock were very close.
10* Raditz's treatment:
11** In Multiverse, Raditz is shown to have been considered a weakling and bullied by other Saiyan kids when he was young, and when he heard of his brother being born he went to greet him and was very happy.
12** ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' subtly shows that Raditz was treated very decently ever since he was a kid by his comrades, even being allowed to help Prince Vegeta (who was less than 5 years old), and was indifferent to Kakarot's existence until it was convenient for him as shown in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
13** Also according to Toriyama, Raditz was a Mid-Class Saiyan. And even though the soldiers that Frieza had on Namek were much stronger than him, they were all mutants by the standards of their respective species.
14* ''Dragon Ball Multiverse'' entire premise lies in a tournament between all universes [[WhatIf where the events of the story were different from the main continuity]] (for example, [[TheBadGuyWins Cell killing the heroes]]). Not only ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' made a premise where you have to travel to different changes in the continuity, but it also uses the term "timelines" instead of "universes". Further outdating the fancomic, ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' and ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' would introduce TheMultiverse and the concept of the twelve universes, and outside of [[MirrorUniverse Universe 6]], none of them is remotely similar to the main continuity.
15* Vegito:
16** In ''Multiverse'', Vegito follows the idea that the Potara fusion is permanent, as stated in ''Z''. Potara fusion ending while inside Buu is chalked up to the Supreme Kai trapped in Buu subconsciously recognizing mortal fusion as "blasphemy" and undoing it, seemingly clarifying the claim in the series itself where Goku guessed it was Buu's magical nature interfering with the fusion.
17** This was [[{{Revision}} corrected]] in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' in order to fix the vague reasons why he defused inside Majin Buu, with the Potara fusion only being permanent for Kais and only lasting an hour for mortals, meaning Vegito is no longer a permanent fusion.
18* Fat Buu is stated as being stupid because the Grand Supreme Kai allowed himself to be absorbed and lobotomized himself to ensure Buu would become dumb. This is never stated in the canon and Buu was never really as dumb as he appeared. In fact, during the ''Galactic Prisoner Arc'' of ''Super'', the Grand Supreme Kai returns to life since he was asleep deep inside Buu, and he is just as smart as he was when living, meaning Salagir' reasons don't hold weight anymore.
19* Universe 1 is shown to be the "good" universe that demonstrated how alert a Supreme Kai should act. ''Dragon Ball Super'' would actually reveal that the Supreme Kai [[AlienNonInterferenceClause can't really intervene in mortal matters]], with that being the domain of the God of Destruction. The blame for the poor state of the universe would then fall to Beerus, who tends to sleep for very long periods of time and thus is unaware of the goings-on in Universe 7 (which is arguably a good thing, since when he's awake his destruction tends to be for arbitrary and petty reasons rather than following any kind of real logic). ''Super'' later showed how direct interference from a Supreme Kai could be anything ''but'' good by introducing Zamasu, whose idea of "divine intervention" was to wipe out all mortals in existence since he felt that they would never be anything but violent savages.
20* ''Multiverse'' has Universe 10, in which the Saiyans are basically cavemen because there was no Frieza to supply them with technology and elevate them into a space-faring race. Not only does ''Dragon Ball Super'' contradict this by showing that pre-Frieza Saiyans did have their own civilization (Vegeta says that it was very similar to Universe 6's Saiyans and their pseudo-Roman culture, with [[VideoGame/DragonBallLegends one of those Saiyans]] being shown), it [[SeriesContinuityError ignores a basic plot point from DBZ]], namely that the Saiyans invaded and conquered Planet Plant before working with King Cold (which they subsequently renamed Planet Vegeta), something that would have been impossible if they didn't have their own spaceships. A lot of this seems to come from the fact that ''Multiverse'' draws upon {{Filler}} from ''DBZ'' and ''DBGT'', which actually did depict pre-Frieza Saiyans as primitive, fur-clad barbarians, and suggests that they shared Planet Plant with the Tsufuru/Tuffles rather than invading it from their own homeworld ([[AllThereInTheManual named Planet Saiya]] in ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' datafiles, later properly named Planet Sadala in ''Super'').
21* The comic goes with the broad appraisal at the time of Gohan's Old Kai-granted potential unlock as a permanent upgrade, and treats it as if Gohan is perpetually now locked at the maximum potential he'd be able to achieve by training (which is shown to be roughly "stronger than Goku in Super Saiyan 3, but still in a similar ballpark"). This makes him the strongest person in U18 overall, and though his skill is mentioned to be somewhat behind his U16 counterpart due to the latter keeping up with training, it's a relatively small gap. ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' and its corresponding arc in ''Super'' would contradict this by showing Gohan's power having ''vastly'' declined over the course of a few years, to the point that he has to fall back on his original Super Saiyan forms and struggles to even maintain those, and has to go through training to be able to access his Ultimate form again.
