[QUOTE="scoutterSSJ, post: 4236, member: 256"] Yes in the Black saga the time sheaningans were much more simple (in the manga, in the anime nothing made sense with Black travelling to the past without creating a TL, Goku influencing Zamatsu when he was investigating Black, creating a circular time-paradox that contradicts the multi-verse logic the manga works with... a complete mess all in all). In the Cell saga what complicates the scenario is Cell travelling to 1 year before Trunk's first arrival in the past, retroactively creating 2 differents timelines with a single travel: One new "past" TL with him in there and one new future TL because his arrival somehow impacted what Trunks did against Mecha Freezer & Cold and his actions in the future after he came back. As if this was Game of Thrones instead of a shounen manga, Toriyama designs a scenario that defecates 10 times over anything Terminator ever attempted with a very subtle (for what one would expect from a shounen manga) storytelling. The Cell saga is not the one I like to read the most, but it surely is one of the finest time travel fictions I've ever read (for how complex and well thought it ended to be) while also being dragon ball. 20/20 for Toriyama as an author (and he was improvising!). Regards! [/QUOTE]
