Need to post this here.

Fuck, still no followers? That's harsh, man. Despite having linked from my DA.

Can't put this anywhere else due to doing quick Season 16 Reviews.

Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Online have been both placed on the same timeline as the anime and manga.

They are BOTH canon.

I was led to believe that GT's events were ignored with the creation of DBO. For years both prior to that and after I thought to myself "GT is non-canon, GT is non-canon."

I was dead wrong.

GT actually has the least amount of inconsistencies in the series, and Toriyama absolutely loves it and the wild design of the Super Saiyan 4, which was from Toei Animation's team member Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru. Toriyama appreciates how his work is continued like this.

The movies are also canon, fitting snugly into the timeline despite inconsistencies. Meaning that Episode of Bardock is also officially canon.

My mind has been blown tonight.

From now on, I shall treat Dragon Ball GT with the utmost respect and never flame it again.

Now then, what about the fanmade Super Saiyan 5 design? That one image that's been floating around the net is rumoured to have been drawn by Toriyama himself on a napkin. Does this mean that somehow, in some way, that this crazy, outlandish fan design is considered canon by Toriyama? Unless someone can contact Dragon Ball's Japanese publishing company asking about it, the world may never know.

Rest assured, when DBO reaches our shores, I will be getting it. Since every human on Earth now is capable of defending it, I want my long time alter ego and original character, Okami Takahashi, to literally be a part of Dragon Ball canon.
