Description UPDATED JULY 12, 2013!

Made by davidstarlingm for Dragonball Multiverse . This diagram shows the gradual divergence of each alternate reality in the Multiverse (with the obvious exception of Universe 2). Approximate dates are placed in estimated order; not to scale. Each division has two or more labels corresponding to the definining difference between the diverging worlds.

Curved lines show time travel events or similar causal links between universes. Each of these connected timelines maintains a bond with its counterpart.

Salagir has commented on this tree, but I'm not at liberty to say whether he confirmed or denied any of these points. Just for fun, I have included American Vigor's Honor Trip and my own Bringer of Death; these two fanfictions both have multiple timelines and are fairly consistent with DBM's premise and presentation.


Explanations (in order of timeline):
  • Eons ago, the villain XXI who locked Elder Kai in the Z Sword won, leading to the difference between U5 and all other universes.

  • 5 million years ago, the Kaioshins stopped Bibidi from creating Buu , leading to the divergence between the "peaceful" U1 and U10 and the rest of the universes.

  • In Age 261, the drought on Namek led to the divergence between U1 and U10 .

  • In Age 737, Bardock gained the ability to see the future , leading to the difference between U3/U9 and the rest of the universes.

  • Later in Age 737, the infant Kakarotto didn't lose his memory and become Goku , leading to the difference between U13 and the rest of the universes.

  • In Age 741, a change caused by Cooler, Raichi, Bardock, King Piccolo, or the Earthlings produced the divergence between U3 and U9.

  • In Age 761, Raditz killed Piccolo, Goku, and Gohan, leading to the difference between U18 and U19. The three Saiyans went to Helior without Goku/Kakarotto (unlike in U13) and were defeated; the Heliorites rose to power in the galaxy.

  • In Age 762, Krillin likely refused Goku's request to spare Vegeta and killed him. The Z Fighters were able to evade or overcome Zarbon and Dodoria (possibly with Nail's help), but Vegeta wasn't there to slow down the Ginyu Force. Goku never became a Super Saiyan and was defeated before ever meeting Frieza, leading to the difference between U8 and the rest of the universes.

  • Later in Age 762, Nail fused with Guru to become Gast and defeat Frieza , leading to the difference between U7 and the rest of the universes.

  • Later in Age 762, Vegeta became a Super Saiyan before Goku, leading to the Bringer of Death universes.

  • In Age 763, Bringer of Death's Future Trunks returned from the future to send King Cold to Earth, creating the change between the Future and Present BoD timelines.

  • In Age 764, Future Trunks returned from the future to bring Goku the heart virus antidote, producing the canon difference between the Present Universes and the Future Universes.

  • In Age 767, Future Cell emerged from his cocoon after traveling back in time, creating the divergence from U11 (where the Z Fighters deactivated the androids and later lost to Buu) and the Cell Games universes. The version of Trunks in U11 is linked to U15 (where all the fighters either died or left).

  • Later in Age 767, three universes emerged: Honor Trip 3 , where Cell became a hero (linked with Honor Trip 4); U17, where Super Perfect Cell defeated SSj2 Gohan (linked with U14); and all other universes where Gohan won (linked with U12).

  • In Age 768, Bojack defeated Gohan , leading to the difference between U6 and the rest of the universes.

  • In Age 773, Broly missed being incinerated in the sun and went on to destroy the galaxy, creating the difference between U20 and the rest of the universes.

  • In Age 774, Buu defeated Vegetto, leading to the difference between U4 and the rest of the universes.

  • In Age 774, Vegetto remained fused rather than separating after entering Buu, leading to the difference between U16 and U18.

Here's my take on it:
* Universe 2: A meta-fictional divergence. Toriyama decided to focus more on humor strips
* Universe 5: XXI, instead of Beerus, became the God of Destruction
* Universe 9: Kami/Piccolo doesn't exist, so the population wasn't slaughtered by the latter and humanity gained their hidden potential
* Universe 10: Diverged from U1 because something killed the Supreme Kais
* Universe 11: Unseen Timeline
* Universe 15: Cell's timeline

It's similar, yes. This tree is not officially confirmed by Salagir or the DBM team, but I've been following DBM for quite a while and I've got some pretty strong hunches.

The way that Multiverse works is explained by Salagir here .

thank you my friend for the help. oh and just an oppinion quetion, do you think the whole spirit bomb thing was a big "cop out" for the dbz and gt storylines? becase af and sayin tales have it where the spirit bomb was not used (i think)

The Spirit Bomb was a huge deus ex machina. Then again, so were Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan 2, and Super Saiyan 3, and kaioken -- kaioken both literally and figuratively.

From a plot or character development standpoint, though, the constant return to Spirit Bomb Land served to reinforce Goku's primacy as Earth's "One True Hero" and marginalize the other fighters. Definitely not good for the series as a whole.

Yeah,I understood that,but as I haven't read Honor Trip and Bringer of Death YET,I can't have a full picture yet.Could you give me a short summary or something?

bringerofdeathDBZ In reply to Apope1999 [2012-09-12 15:28:51 +0000 UTC]

You can read Bringer of Death on my page or on FanFiction.net -- it's an ongoing fanfic about what would have happened if Vegeta had become a Super Saiyan instead of Goku. The Z Fighters face the same challenges, but with different results. Vegeta and Goku turn out to have a very different outlook on things.

Honor Trip is a story where SSj2 Gohan hit Cell so hard that it deactivated Gero's programming, resulting in Cell feeling remorse for his actions and becoming a hero. He returned to the Future universe and battled his evil counterpart.

Apope1999 In reply to bringerofdeathDBZ [2012-09-12 15:55:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah,I know......Wait a minute,Frieza,against Vegeta,was using 1% of his Final Forms Full-Power,so even if he became a Ssj,would it make much of a difference?And you mean Perfect Cell?'Cuz his Future Counterpart never became Perfect and would be nothing sort of a challenge to him....Can I have more details pleaaaaaaaaaase?

bringerofdeathDBZ In reply to Apope1999 [2012-09-12 15:58:45 +0000 UTC]

Regarding Bringer of Death....the anime is inaccurate on the 1% business, and the fanfic treats SSj as a boost rather than a multiplier. You should definitely read it.

In Honor Trip, Future Cell has a few tricks up his sleeve....

Details,please................
And what do you mean inaccurate;that was a statement the manga made too.And regarding my part,I didn't know that Gohan had hit Cell's hard so that his and Goku's personalities resurfaced....I thought that.......they just,you know.....did........

bringerofdeathDBZ In reply to Apope1999 [2012-09-12 16:09:27 +0000 UTC]

In the manga, Frieza said that he was using a "tiny fraction" of his power; he didn't say 1%. Regardless, treating SSj as a boost rather than a multiplier makes much more sense and fits the story well. You'll have to check it out! The first few chapters are short.

I would encourage you to read further (through Chapter 7 here ) for an in-depth explanation.

bringerofdeathDBZ In reply to Apope1999 [2012-09-12 16:43:18 +0000 UTC]

The notion that SSj is basically a 50x kaioken with no energy loss was made popular by fans early on, but it has largely been discarded by many fanfic writers who see a "boost" or "tier" method as a better explanation of canon events. At no place in canon is SSj referred to as a multiplier of any kind.

Akira Toriyama's Daizenshuus even state this.How are you gonna argue with that?If you've done your Ssj something equivalent to what Salagir has done with the LSsj then just say it!

I don't want to get into a debate about this right here; if you'd like to discuss it in greater detail then by all means PM me.

"Fifty times greater" doesn't have to be a multiplier; it is more likely to be a description of the difference between two forms at a particular point in time.

And Akira Toriyama didn't create the Daizenshuu.

Apope1999 In reply to bringerofdeathDBZ [2012-09-12 17:09:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah,but he did create the PLs;If you do the math the multiplier(difference) is actually 50x.And thanks,I actually didn't know that But I think the material included in them directly comes from,by all means,Toriyamas direct and indirect statements.And what does PM mean?

joshuaissac In reply to Apope1999 [2012-09-12 18:53:42 +0000 UTC]

Goku's power level went from 3m in base to 150m in SSJ. That can mean SSJ either gives a 50x multiplier, or a ~145m additive boost. The story assumes the latter. PM means 'private message'.

The only thing that makes me wonder about Universe 16...How in the nine hells did Vegetto manage to keep Bulma? It isn't known if he was still with Chichi but it is assumed...so how did they decide to share him? XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

bringerofdeathDBZ In reply to SeraTrystfall [2012-09-12 14:03:20 +0000 UTC]

The DBM U16 fanfic explains that Vegetto ended up choosing Bulma over Chi-chi but remains friends with Chi-chi.

The Goku side of Vegetto is friendly to Bulma, but the Vegeta side of Vegetto doesn't particularly like Chi-chi -- hence the difference.

Ooooooh, that makes perfect sense then. I never read the fanfic for it...but I am loving DBM, it's so great that I wish they'd animate it and send it to Funimation to be dubbed

My favorite character is definitely U16 Bra, she's just the way she should have been in GT. Pan too!
