When to each one flick has its have issues, which are actually among a virtually all troublesome: Movie One has Kuririn not being surprised by Son Gohan's existence, insinuating that he knew just about him. In the Dragon Ball manga and the Dragon Ball Z TV series, Kuririn meets Gohan for the first time merely hours prior to Son Goku is killed by Piccolo in order to defeat Raditz. Since Goku is therein picture shopping for Gohan, then chronologically this picture show may not keep close at hand existed in the context of the TV series. Movie 8 states that Broli & Goku were born on the same day, and that Broli is the Legendary Super Saiyan. In the Dragon Ball Z anime, Vegeta states that there has not been the Legendary Extremely Saiyan for 1,000 years. Nevertheless, a "legendary" nature & severity of Very Saiyans doesn't seem to have when Vegeta and others achieve a transformation, and then this is debatable at the best. Within Movie 13, Tapion gives Chibi Trunks a sword. This is meant to tell you a origin of Future Trunks's sword.
