[Let's Go Fearless!]

The timeline 3 is the original?

 

[withheldforprivacy]

Yes.

 

[GokhanDBZfan]

When it comes to the films, they all take place in one single timeline along with the anime.
Watch Fusion Reborn as to why I think that.

 

[withheldforprivacy]

In Fusion Reborn, nothing indicates the heroes faced Tullece and Slug in the past. Maybe Tullece and Slug just died
of other causes and saw the heroes from the afterlife, that's how they knew about them.

 

[GokhanDBZfan]

The henchmen from those movies appear.

 

[withheldforprivacy]

I already answered that.

 

[GokhanDBZfan]

Except nothnig implies they died of other causes.
In the OVA, their defeats are even shown.

Well, i didn't include the OVA in my timelines.
