Can all the DBZ movies fit in the storyline?
by Makenzie Dolnick
The answer is yes, they can. And in this editorial I will explain how. All the movies are split up into three categories. First is Easy to figure out. Second is Pretty hard to figure out. And third is Hard to figure out/I just made up some crap, and I hope it sounds reasonable.
Easy to Figure Out
DBZ Movie #1 - Japanese title-Return my Gohan!
American title-Dead Zone
This movie fits in between the end of DB and the start of DBZ. The reason that Gokuu, Kuririn, Piccolo and Gohan cannot remember about it is because Kami-Sama decided to erase the memories of the battle so they could all live peacefully. Gohan cannot remember because after he used his power, he never could remember anything.
DBZ Movie #9 - Japanese title-The Galaxy's in Danger! The Super Awesome Guy!
American title-Not released yet
This movie fits in after the end of Cell and Trunks leaving to go back to his timeline. Everyone just wanted to participate in a tournament, and this is what made Vegita start training again.
DBZ Movie #12 - Japanese title-The Rebirth of Fusion! Goku and Vegita!
American title-Not released yet
This movie happens between after Trunks and Goten master fusion and the destruction of most of Earth at the hands of Buu. That is why Gotenks is in it and Gohan and Videl are "teammates", but Videl isn't Saiyaman#2
Pretty Hard to Figure Out
DBZ Movie #5 - Japanese title-Battle of the Strongest
American title-Not released yet
This movie happens after Gokuu returns and the fight with the androids. Vegita isn't in it because he was injured during his training and he is now in the hospital. Gokuu, Gohan, Kuririn and Oolong just decided to take a break and go camping.
DBZ Movie #7 - Japanese title-The Three Super Saiya-jin
American title-Not released yet
This movie happens after the return of Trunks and before the fight with Cell. It seems that Chi-Chi needs some new clothes, and everyone just tagged along.
DBZ Movie #8 - Japanese title-Valiant Fight! Violent Fight! Super Exciting Fight!
American title-Not released yet
This movie happens after Gohan goes SSJ1 and before the fight with Cell. Everybody decides to take a break from training and Chi-Chi and Gokuu sign up Gohan and everyone else goes and has to listen to Kuririn sing.
DBZ Movie #10 - Japanese title-The Mischievous Partners! Super Warriors Never Rest!
American title-Not released yet
This movie happens after Gohan starts school and before the Tenkachi Budokai. Goten and Trunks start to get restless, so Videl takes them Dragonball hunting.
DBZ Movie #13 - Japanese title-Dragon Fist Assault!
American title-Not released yet
This movie happens between episodes 290-291. The reason that none of Gohan's classmates know him to be the Great Saiyaman is because Kaiou-shin did something to erase there memories about those events after Gohan showed him his power.
Hard to figure out/I just made up some crap, and I hope it sounds reasonable
DBZ Movie #2 - Japanese title-The World's Strongest Man
American title-The World's Strongest
This movie happens during the 3-hour break in the Nappa fight. To help them prepare while Nappa was destroying Earth's military Kuririn, Gohan and Piccolo went, met Gokuu's spirit, which helped them out while he was running on Snake Way. Then they went back and just forgot about it.
DBZ Movie #3 - Japanese title-Ultimate Decisive Battle for Earth
American title-Tree of Might
This happens right before the Vegita fight, they all go to Gokuu's house, and Gokuu is there in spirit like in Movie#2, Gohan escaped from Piccolo shortly and then goes back with him at the end. All is forgotten at the end like Movie#2
DBZ Movie #4 - Japanese title-Super Saiya-jin Goku
Probable American title-Super Saiyan Goku
This movie didn't happen, that’s why it sucks :)...fine I guess the reason is because after Gokuu returns he doesn't have complete control of SSJ1, and when Slug's ship arrives it does something so Gokuu can't funny go to SSJ1. Vegita is off training in space.
DBZ Movie #6 - Japanese title-Attack! 10,000,000,000 Power Warriors
American title-Not released yet
This movie happens after the fusion of Kami and Piccolo and Trunks's return to our time. Vegita is out in space training, and the rest of the DB gang goes to help out the Namekians at the request of the new Kami, Dende.
DBZ Movie #11 - Japanese title-The Super-Warrior Clone! I am the Winner!!
American title-Not released yet
This movie is just like #4, it sucked so back, so it didn't happen.....if you want a reason, it probably happens after the Tenkachi Budokai and before the Buu fight. Gohan and Videl are out training, so Goten and Trunks start fooling around, and one of the worst movies is created.
Okay, that’s the reasons. If anyone has anything they want to point out about this feel free to email me at Tavarin@ix.netcom.com :)
