Because it's an alternative storyline in Dragon Ball Z before the final arc not a continuation to the story.

Yeah you're right I almost forgot about this little arc at the end, guess it's fair enough to put it as a "side story" even if it can be a little confusing (this final arc apart it is the main sequel)

Because DBZ's ending took place years after the events of Dragon Ball Super. It makes sense to call it a side story really.

Do you know why Dragon Ball Super isn't listed as a sequel of Dragon Ball Z on MAL ? I think it should be, maybe even more than DBGT which does not follow Toriyama's manga, but maybe I'm missing something and a reason it's only listed as a "side story" here

Because the sequel to Z is GT. Super is its own thing, thank god it is, super follows another timeline where goku is less goku, retcons Z , retcons GT, and goes further than the aforementioned with less than desirable execution.

Super isn’t a sequel mainly because A.T stopped working with the series back in 1996.
(Or at least tried to)

Probably super is more a sequel than gt. gt literally has been made from toei animation and Akira toryama didn't to anything. and it's also pretty bad.

Well super takes place after Buu arc. That's why maybe but ya Super is the actual sequel of DBZ. DBGT is a filler series, author didn't contributed in its storyline at all

no GT is, it literally picks up from Z, Super picks up from kid buu’s defeat and goes a completely different direction to promote movies, be its own thing, promote movies, then decide to be it’s own thing and commit to it.

GT is controversial but it is an actual sequel, just someone else directing it since toriyama decided to step down during its production, the same cant be said for super since toriyama was involved with the movies and nothing anime related.

just because toei green lights it doesn’t mean its a sequel, super wasn’t handled by toriyama outside the movies, so your point kinda dies there.

Sequels aren’t what if stories, super retcons both Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT and goes in a completely different direction, which again can be explained in a video called “the day dragonball died”, toei took a gamble with super and somehow it worked but that doesn’t make it a sequel.

Id rather have Dragonball GT over super tbh, super entertains don’t get me wrong, however, it takes more than entertaining for a series to be a sequel or good, which super is not the best Dragonball has to offer but if we get to see goku and co. again who gives a fuck.

Notice how I haven’t said Dragonball super, because THIS IS NOT DRAGONBALL, it has the foundation Dragonball has built over the years but it builds something different and modern, Dragonball, Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT were all great and super had a chance to be great but chose to be something else……
WHICH IS WHY SUPER IS NOT A SEQUEL.

More than a sequel, I see dbs as a alternate universe. The events happen before the end of Z and most likely it’ll retcon many things that Z did (most importantly the ending of Z). So it’s better to think of it as a alternate universe.

GT in the other hand does pick up after the end of Z and expands on what the end of Z was working on. It’s problem? It’s non canon. Toriyama himself though has stated that you can see GT as a different timeline as well, all in all.. DB has no real sequels, but only alternative timelines.

All these people saying Super is from some different timeline are completely wrong. Technically Super follows after Z and has not reached the GT timeline as of yet. They can all be counted as canon until Super surpasses GT.
Also Super has a Manga so thats more proof to be the actual Canon story.

He was involved with the Manga which the anime is based on sooooo I'd say he has part in it. Just doesn't want to spend his life drawing it anymore.

Why just make stuff up? No one here can link an official statement saying super is an alternate timeline.

If you have seen Dragon Ball Z and also some of Dragon Ball Super you could clearly tell dbs isn't a sequel. I can't say if it's the new main story of not but it's not a sequel to dbz I'm not making anything up.

Did you not Watch Super? ITA CLEARLY PICKING UP POST BUU SAGA. I'm theory leading up to the point at the very end of Z. I've never heard this even debated until today.

Uub was mentioned in Super. Referenced to how he is still a small child and not ready to be trained. I'm pretty sure he is shown at some point when they were showing characters around earth. Can't remember what arc.

idk what you're even talking about now. Super picks up right after the buu Saga. That's not debatable.
