continuity error[]

Isn't the attack on Planet Cereal by Frieza Force and Saiyans a continuity error? Since Age 737 was supposed to be the year that the Saiyans wear killed to death? Was the Cereal invasion in Age 733 or Age 740?--JackJackson17 (talk) 08:37, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

  • It's 40 years prior to the Granolah the Survivor Saga, which makes it Age 733 (going by the years in Broly) or Age 740 (going by the Daizenshuu/Xenoverse years). Neffyarious (talk) 12:29, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

How does that work out again? Why would it be Age 733 according to Broly? Did Broly establish that it was set in Age 773? The Saiyans couldn't have destroyed Cereal in Age 740 because I'm sure Broly made out the planet was destroyed in Age 737. It is your local hero, Bullza! Have any questions?

In Broly Age 737 is given as when the genocide of the Saiyans occurs, it is said that the events at the start of Broly (Frieza taking over up to Broly being sent to Vampa) are five years before this (thus Age 732), and these events at the beginning are said to have occurred 41 years ago, thus making the present days events of Broly occur in Age 773.

So then it really is just a continuity error then because that would put the events of Broly before the events of Buu. That's probably not really surprising because Battle of Gods had the same thing happen when it was time for Bulma and Mai to say how old they were. All sources pretty much say that Vegeta was destroyed in Age 737 so if Cereal being destroyed 40 years ago was fact it shouldn't be any later than Age 777 now which would be more feasible but then that still wouldn't fit anyway because then Pan shouldnt be around yet.

If you ignore years given in guidebooks/video games and only use the statements on time given in the original manga/Jaco manga/DBS manga/Broly, then the years given in Broly work. The DBS manga seems to be doing that since it went with the 40 year thing with Cereal. Neffyarious (talk) 22:01, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Well that's what your timeline is based off of on your page correct? The manga, Jaco and Broly information? But from how you have it then the Golden Frieza Saga was set in Age 772 and End of Z was in Age 781 which would be a gap of 9 years but Pan was born in the Golden Frieza Saga and she was 4 years old during End of Z so that couldn't be possible.
If End of Z was Age 781 then Golden Frieza could be no earlier than Age 776 and the current time Age 777 and therefore Cereal would have been destroyed in Age 737.It is your local hero, Bullza! Have any questions? Talk here!

I always thought that the End of Z was in Age 784 which made sense for DBS to take place in Age 780 due to Bulma claiming that she hadn't seen Goku in four years - I forgot chapter number - i think title is 10 years later. I just think this is one big continuity error which may never been fixed upon. According to everything except the DBS Anime and Broly movie - the Manga is set in Age 780, and Granolah's event happened a long 40 years ago. Just remember that series has a number of errors in it, and we shouldn't focus too much of it. The error should be acknowledge in this page and the Evolution of Cereal page - maybe the trivia section.--JackJackson17 (talk) 05:07, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Character ages are always very inconsistent, but discounting them the manga/Jaco/Broly timeline works with the years that we're given. To be honest it's inconsistent no matter what. Granolah seems to be following the timeline outlined in Broly though, so that should be taken into consideration for it's year. Neffyarious (talk) 11:15, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

I'd say that it would be best to remove it from this page and leave it on the Age 733 page, since it's just impossible for it to have occurred in this year. Neffyarious (talk) 01:44, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

I'd say that the continuity error still should be brought due it implying that by DBS: Broly's timeline - time has gone backward considering the Buu Saga according to other sources was in Age 774 and the movie claims the DBS: Broly takes place Age 773. It just so that no gets confused about the inconsistency of the Timeline especially regarding DB Super.--JackJackson17 (talk) 03:14, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
