Quick question, what will be considered canon? The manga or the anime?

In this case, the anime and movie. The manga was adapted from them, just like the Star Wars movies are primary canon over the books (As opposed to Harry Potter books being canon over the movies.)

The anime/films are the highest form of canonicity in the new continuity. The manga is a secondary form of canonicity.

IOW, the anime/films can supersede the manga, but the manga cannot supersede the anime/films.

films are above anime?

WHERE THE FCK IS THE EPISODE?

someone posted a link in last page haha

Looks like they can't make up their damn minds.

So, which BoG/RoF version will be 100% canon? The anime or the movies? And what about the extended versions of movies, like BoG?

It's the fans who worry about canon, so they're the "they" who can't make up their minds. 😛

Basically, it comes down to which came first, and which is the adaptation. Back in the day, the manga came first, and the anime was adapted from it. And today, those roles are reversed.

As to movie vs series..

Well, Toriyama personally writes both, so I suppose even though the anime series comes after RoF and BoG, any inconsistancies between them will be considered a retcon in favor of the tv show? Maybe?

I dunno, I'm not the canon police. I prefer to think Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow is canon, because of all the annoying characters it killed off (Superman sure got over Jimmy's death real quick 😛 )

Not like you're missing much from this one.

And yeah, King Kai's Japanese voice is indeed the worst.

DBS sits above the films, since it is the most current DB material. So if DBS makes any changes to the events of BoG/RoF, we must accept them as canon.

...It may have already retconned Pan's age, for example.

Galan I will not be voting for you for poster of the year if you don't reveal your source for the episode.

Christ almighty... I tell you the same thing every single week: Go to ANY torrent site. DBS #4 is available for DL with English subs.

I really just wanted to talk to you.

Pan NEEDS to be retconned. GT Pan was a total psycho.

^ I'm just talking about DBZ Pan.

Pan was originally 4y/o at the 28th WMAT(the "10 Years Later" chapters of the manga/anime.) However, if Videl is still pregnant in the coming episodes of DBS(which retell BoG), then Pan's age has likely been retconned. Remember, these first first episodes are supposed to be set a mere 6 months after Boo's defeat... Which would retcon Pan's age to 8-9 by the 28th WMAT.

Plot-twist. Pan is actually Gohan's second daughter.
