This article, Dragon Ball: Uprising, takes place in an alternate universe or timeline,
and is not considered a part of the main Dragon Ball Timeline. |
Dragon Ball: Uprising is a fan made story about a young Saiyan named Kaido who survives the destruction of Planet Vegeta due to the whim of an unlikely savior. It begins in Age 736, when Kaido is ten years old. While the story has barely been written up, MandarinB intends to continue the tale into Kaido's adulthood and to detail the Saiyan's service under the Planet Trade Organization after the destruction of his home planet.
Currently, the story is undergoing a rewrite after a long hiatus. The previous iteration of this story will hence forth be referred to as "Legacy Arcs" and are considered semi-canon to the story. The rewritten chapters will often follow the same structure as the old legacy chapters, but may differ in details and character arcs.
Story Arcs[]
Placement Trials Arc[]
This arc is the first in Kaido's story. Taking place on Planet Vegeta in Age 736, a year before its destruction by the tyrant Frieza, the story revolves around a young Kaido competing with his fellow Saiyans over candidate-status for King Vegeta's Royal Guard in an effort to gain the approval of his demanding father Artiko.
Currently only three chapters have been published.

Canonicity[]
As Dragon Ball: Uprising takes place in a different timeline compared to Z and Super, I've decided to lay out what I have in mind as 'canon' in my story to alleviate any confusion.
Main Series[]
- Dragon Ball is completely canon and occurs uninterrupted.
- Dragon Ball Z's story will occur differently, but most if not all its characters and plot points are canon.
- Dragon Ball Super's Universes and Gods of Destruction are canon, but will not be touched upon in any way.
- Dragon Ball GT is non-canon, but basic concepts such as planets and and races might be borrowed.
Dragon Ball movies[]
- Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies is not canon.
- Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle is not canon.

Dragon Ball Z movies[]
- Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone is completely canon, and will occur in its entirety, uninterrupted.

Other Mangas[]
- Nekomajin is not canon.
- Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock is not canon.
- Jaco the Galactic Patrolman is not canon, but concepts such as races and planets may be borrowed. The reason for its exclusion from the canon is the Galactic Patrol and Galactic King would realistically not be able to exist in a universe dominated by the Planet Trade Organization.
- Dragon Ball SD is not canon.
- Dragon Ball Minus is mostly canon, with the exclusion of the Galactic Patrol.
Other Releases[]
- Bardock: Father of Goku is not canon, but its basic characters, races, and planets are.

Exceptions[]
- Kuriza- Although Kuriza's story in Nekomajin is non canon, the concept of Frieza having a son is present through the character 'Polara', who has Kuriza's design. The name change is due to Kuriza's name being a pun on chestnuts rather than anything cold.
- Toma- Although the Bardock: Father of Goku is not canon, Toma exists as a member of Bardock's squadron. It should be noted that they are in a frame of Dragon Ball Super: Broly as well.
- Shugesh- Although the Bardock: Father of Goku is not canon, Shugesh exists as a member of Bardock's squadron. It should be noted that they are in a frame of Dragon Ball Super: Broly as well. He even has a son named Kohl who participates in Age 737's Placement Trials.
- Fasha- Although the Bardock: Father of Goku is not canon, Fasha exists as a member of Bardock's squadron. It should be noted that they are in a frame of Dragon Ball Super: Broly as well.
