dragonball it has raised more complicated things than levels of power. We have seen Goku go from Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan God and Blue without having a clear idea of the criteria and the abilities of each evolution. Let’s just say this is the usual fight in the Dragon Ball community, but there’s something more complicated to discuss: time travel.
Have you ever wondered how time travel works in dragonball? The first traveler of all was Future Trunks in the Cell saga. Things seemed simple because it was a fairly linear time reading without being complicated by alternate futures or various presents… But nothing is as one wants.
The situation was complicated by the appearance of the time machine created by Bulma and her father, Dr. Brief, because its use is subject to certain restrictions and established rules: you can only travel to the past once in a specific timeline. , and any changes made in the past may have consequences in the present and the future. In addition, there are limits to the number of people and objects that can be transported in the machine.
The timelines in Dragon Ball
All this explanation makes that, in the universe dragonballThere are two realities: reality A, which is the present in which Goku and company live, and reality B, which is another present in Trunks’ time. Thus, Trunks cannot make A stop being A or B stop being B even if he went from A to B and vice versa.
However, Trunks’ trip alone is a disturbance (called C), so the realities become A+C and B+C, that is, considering Trunks’ trip in both realities.
The temporary / current reality that we see in Dragon Ball SuperTherefore, it is the result of Trunks’ activity in the reality of Goku and company. The influence of Vegeta’s son did not necessarily mean a change in reality for him when he returned but rather that he had more resources to deal with the android problem, leaving behind a change in the reality of the Z Fighters.
The risks of time travel in series like Dragon Ball
- Time paradox: time travel can cause paradoxes, that is, situations in which a past event is altered or changed in a way that conflicts with the original timeline. These paradoxes can have drastic effects and alter the course of history.
- Changes in the present: any changes made in the past can have consequences in the present and the future. This means that the actions of characters in the past can alter the current reality, creating ramifications and modifications in the timeline.
- Threats to existence: enemies or villains who have knowledge of time travel may try to take advantage of it to alter the past to achieve their own goals. This can lead to dangerous situations where the very existence of the characters is at risk.
