Dragon Ball franchise continuity and character lore
Overview
Discussions surrounding the Dragon Ball franchise focus on the creative intentions of the late Akira Toriyama and the continuity of various series. Toriyama intended for characters Beerus and Whis to act as an “insurmountable wall” for Goku and Vegeta to provide narrative depth, noting he initially had no plans for the Saiyans to surpass them.
Toei Animation has unveiled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, an enhanced and reconstructed remake of the 2015 series. This version aims to redeem the original Goku versus Beerus battle by providing improved animation, new camera angles, and a remastered soundtrack. The remake covers the narrative arc from Beerus’s arrival through the confrontation between Universes 6 and 7. Recent episodes have introduced new details, such as Beerus interacting with the electrical aura of Goku’s Super Saiyan 2 form, which was not explicitly depicted in the 2015 original.
These developments have highlighted significant timeline discrepancies. While Dragon Ball Daima depicts Goku utilizing the Super Saiyan 4 form, the Beerus remake follows the original progression from Super Saiyan 3 toward the Super Saiyan God state. Additionally, character fusions like Kibitoshin remain intact in the Super remake but were undone in the Daima storyline. Continuity questions also persist regarding upcoming adaptations: the Moro arc adaptation, ‘Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol’, will not feature Gohan’s Beast transformation because the story is set before the events of the film ‘Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’. Furthermore, new promotional art featuring a redesigned Vegito Blue has sparked speculation regarding the character's potential return.
