If you asked me when I was younger, I’d have said Dragon Ball GT was canon, and I think a lot of people would have agreed. Is Broly Canon? – Final ThoughtsĬanon in Dragon Ball can be a complicated and ever-changing issue.
DRAGON BALL Z KAI THE FINAL CHAPTERS CANNON MOVIE
You might argue this makes the character of Broly canon but not the events of the movie, but I think until contradicted, we should just take the movie as canon and leave it at that. Broly gets a mention in the manga, solidifying his canon status.Įven if you doubted Broly’s canon status based on just a movie appearance, which weren’t traditionally canon, then surely the fact that the battle between Broly and Goku/Vegeta was mentioned in Chapter 42 of the Dragon Ball Super manga reinforces his canon status even further. So it looks like Dragon Ball Super: Broly is currently and will stay canon for the foreseeable future. There doesn’t appear to be plans to go over this movie in the anime, and it’s expected that Dragon Ball Super will return with the Galatic Prisoner Saga. So although this wasn’t Broly’s first movie appearance, it was his first canon movie appearance as the story was outlined by Toriyama himself and would be continued by the Dragon Ball Super Manga. After this, another canon movie was released, named Dragon Ball Super: Broly. So after the 2 ‘canon’ movies came out, there was the Dragon Ball Super anime that ended with the Tournament of Power Saga. Although they went back and retold these stories in the Dragon Ball Super manga and anime, replacing the canon of the movies, they are still considered semi-canon to this day. But this is the first film with the story outlined by Toriyama himself, so it was really the first-ever film considered canon, followed by Resurrection F.
DRAGON BALL Z KAI THE FINAL CHAPTERS CANNON SERIES
Although this film has Z in its title, it can really be considered the first of the Dragon Ball Super series as it was made 17 years after Dragon Ball Z ended.

Dragon Ball Super changed the status of Movies.ĭragon Ball Z movies were all considered filler until the release of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. But these rules only applied to Dragon Ball Z, and everything changed when it came to Dragon Ball Super. So Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, Dragon Ball Z: Broly – Second Coming and Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, while amazing films, weren’t considered part of the main storyline.

This is because they weren’t based on a manga written by Akira Toriyama and were made while the animators were waiting for new chapters to be released. This may seem confusing at first, but traditionally for Dragon Ball Z, all of the movies released weren’t considered canon and were officially considered filler. Broly’s first three movie appearances aren’t canon.
