Dragon Ball (Games) Cosmology

==Summary==
This page will cover the cosmology of the Dragon Ball Games' Cosmology, more specifically, Dragon Ball Heroes and Xenoverse multiverse, or we can call it Dragon Ball Heroes multiverse for short
==Hypertimeline==
Well, at first we should cover the basics of the cosmology first before we dive into the game's multiverse. As we all know, all DB Games alike are based on the canon materials which are Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super and then expand themselves on this basic framework. Heroes and Xenoverse are no different, thus the cosmology can be scaled back to canon's cosmology, which makes each timeline in this multiverse a 5-dimensional hypertimeline or Low 1-C structure
Additionally, the games have additional proof for individual universes being space-time continuums of their own, especially in the case of the Copy Universe created by Fu, which was stated several times to be a newSDBH Arcade Universe Mission 5SDBH Big Bang Mission Manga Chapter 4SDBH Big Bang Mission Manga Chapter 6space-timeSDBH Big Bang Mission Manga Chapter 9continuumSDBH BBM Promotional Anime Episode 13that had the exact same form as the original Universe 7's Living Universe,Super Dragon Ball Heroes 11th Anniversary Super Guide being a perfect replicaSDBH Big Bang Mission Manga Chapter 7 and a copy of it.Super Dragon Ball Heroes 11th Anniversary Super Guide And to add the icing on the cake, Trunks even confirmed that both the Original U7 and the Copy U7 had histories of their own,SDBH Arcade Big Bang Mission 7 a term that is synonymous with "timeline" as you can see later down below 
Now time for the main cosmology of Dragon Ball Games. On the surface, Xenoverse and Heroes look like unconnected, individual titles and very simple; however, they are actually connected to each others within a shared cosmology and possessing a very deep and impressive multiverse which will be explained below
==Dragon Ball Xenoverse==
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, we have this statement:Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (Original Japanese)
File:Iguess1.jpg
File:Iguess2.jpg
1. Those statements come from two time patrollers, which are a knowledgeable source. They were translated 2 years ago by Japanese people, and here's what they say:
*はあ... 歴史について学んでも学んでも... キリがないな... 頭が痛くなるぜ...! = Hah...If you learned or not about history...[you know] it doesn't make sense....my head is going to start hurting.
*まあ 歴史なんて 無限に枝分かれしてるうえにどの歴史がどう正しいかなんてわからないしね.. = History is infinitely branched out...I don't know which one is right [after a while]..
Here's another translation:
*Well, history is something that, on top of having limitless branches, we don't know which history is correct, etc.
*Sigh...even if I study and study about history, there's no end to it...my head hurts!
History in Dragon Ball Xenoverse was stated to be the same as timelines/space-times and also the multiverse. Each history refers to a timeline/space-time continuumDragon Ball Xenoverse 2Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (Original Japanese)SDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 2
2. Now we come to the next statement by Fu, one of the smartest character of the verse:Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
File:XV2DLC1.png|Fu's talk to Dabura on the possibilities
File:XV2DLC2.png|Then he proceeds to talk about history
File:XV2DLC3.png|Lastly he talks about timelines
Fu clearly stated he wants to explore all possibilities, which means all possible timelines, all possible events, all possibly history are already realized for him to explore. Which itself similar to the Japanese dialogue above, where it's stated that history itself is infinitely branched.
File:DBXV DLC Infinite History.jpg|Xenoverse 2's DLC 6 , "Infinite History
The DLC where Fu makes this statement is appropriately named “Infinite History”.
As you can clearly see, All this evidence clearly indicates that there is an infinite number of timelines within Xenoverse, which would place the cosmology at Infinite 5D hypertimelines or infinite Low 1-C.
==Dragon Ball Heroes==
Dragon Ball Heroes, cosmology wise, the verse only has one statement from Crimson-Masked Saiyan, who stated that there were countless space-times/timelines.SDBH Arcade Big Bang Mission 8SDBH BBM Promotional Anime Episode 15 However, this media incorporates multiple Dragon Ball Games, including ones that actually have a infinite Low 1-C cosmology. 
====Dragon Ball Heroes x Dragon Ball Xenoverse====
Unlike what we used to believe before, Xenoverse and Heroes do actually coexist in the same multiverse, as separate timelines. Here's why:
File:Xen.jpg|V-Jump's November 2014 Issue
File:1920553 569554363174344 4462473903635911476 n.jpg|V-Jump's November 2014 Issue
*In the November 2014 issue of V-Jump, which talks about the Evil Dragon Missions, it is stated that Xenoverse Trunks crossed space-time to help Goku and Vegeta in DBH. This would mean that Xenoverse and Heroes coexist in the same multiverse, which would make the latter's cosmology infinite Low 1-C.
These are the important lines of the scan's text:
「DBXV」のトランクスが時空を超え緊急参戦!
悟空やベジータの力になるため、 異次元から の使者が「DBH｣ に激烈参戦するぞォ!!!
A translation of this was asked, and here's what it says:
*“Trunks from DBXV has exceeded space-time to quickly join the fight! To help Goku and Vegeta (and others), a messenger of another dimension has joined the violent war in DBH!!!”
*The official short animated trailerDBH Arcade Evil Dragon Mission 6 Animated Trailer for Evil Dragon Mission 6 which also featured the event
*Screenshots of the eventDBH Arcade Evil Dragon Mission 6 directly from the game/Evil Dragon Mission 6
*The other card released for this Trunks from the Evil Dragon Mission blatantly has the Xenoverse logo printed on it, further proving that this Trunks is from Xenoverse
So yeah, this point is pretty straightforward. Xenoverse and Heroes do not share a continuity, rather they exist in the same multiverse as alternate timelines, with Xenoverse Trunks outright making an appearance in the Evil Dragon Missions of DBH. Now, onto the next one.
*In an official interview,SDBH 9th Anniversary Guidebook the producer for DBH, Higuchi Wataru, stated the following:
“Higuchi: Mechikaboola was a character originally mentioned by name only in the PC game [DB Online]. We originally created the Xeno warriors with [Bandai Namco Entertainment]’s [DB Xenoverse] team, but since Mechikaboola didn’t appear in [Xenoverse], we made Mechikaboola, who initially existed solely by word-of-mouth, into an actual concept with only [SDBH]’s team.”
In this interview, Higuchi confirms that the SDBH team worked alongside XV's team, which implies that a lot of concepts and characters that appeared in Heroes were taken directly from Xenoverse, which is supported by the fact that he even admits – since Mechikabura didn't originate from XV, the SDBH team had to conceptualize him on their own as they couldn't just directly take him from Xenoverse.
Additionally, the main producer for XV, Masayuki Hirano, has officially confirmedDragon Ball Games SUPER Showcase that both XV & DBH are a part of the "Time Patroller Universe" and that they share a world, further cementing a shared multiverse and a combined game franchise that encompasses many continuities
DBH also has Time Scrolls for each history/timeline,Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (Original Japanese)SDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 2 and the term “history” is also used to refer to timelinesSDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 5SDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 6SDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 8SDBH 9th Anniversary Super GuideSDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 12SDBH Arcade Big Bang Mission 8SDBH Big Bang Mission Manga Chapter 8/spaceSDBH Arcade Ultra God Mission 3SDBH Ultra God Mission Manga Chapter 5-timesSDBH Ultra God Mission Manga Chapter 3 (Crimson uses the term "Rekishi" or "歴史" which translates to "history",SDBH BBM Promotional Anime Episode 15 to talk about alternate timelines when killing alternate timeline Gokus) and even the multiverseSDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 17 like in Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
With these two points, we can safely conclude that Heroes and Xenoverse share the same cosmology, thus putting Heroes at Infinite Low 1-C. The “countless space-times” statement from Crimson-Masked Saiyan is only supporting evidence.
==Dragon Ball Fusion==
Dragon Ball Fusions' story is also connected to many Dragon Ball continuities, which includes Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Heroes
====Dragon Ball Fusions x Dragon Ball Xenoverse====
There are multiple aspects in the story of Fusions which seem to imply that Fusions is connected to Dragon Ball Xenoverse, which are all explained here.
Also in Fusions, Towa uses the Bloody Sauce technique, which is a skill that belongs to Xenoverse, thus further confirming that Fusions is indeed connected to Xenoverse
====Dragon Ball Fusions x Dragon Ball Heroes====
Dragon Ball Heroes is also connected to Dragon Ball Fusions.
In Dragon Ball Fusions, Future Gohanks who originates from Heroes appears in the story mode of Fusions, specifically in Baba's place where the main cast and him have a talk about how strong he is and how he needs this power to defeat the androids etc. which then starts the mission ”Hero From Another World” (異世界からのヒーロー). This was even specifically advertized as Fusions and Heroes crossing over. Future Gohanks obviously appears in DBH too due to originating from it, and his Xeno counterpart is basically a mirror copy of Future Gohanks. With Heroes appearing in the actual story mode of Fusions, it's fairly obvious that Fusions and Heroes share a multiverse as well.
This shows that Dragon Ball Fusions is also Infinite Low 1-C due to being connected to DBXV, and in turn further solidifying Infinite Low 1-C DBH due to also being connected.
==Dragon Ball FighterZ==
Dragon Ball FighterZ is also canon within Dragon Ball Heroes and Xenoverse multiverse as we can see the game's story, events & characters appear in both Heroes and Xenoverse respectively
====Dragon Ball Xenoverse x Dragon Ball FighterZ====
From the image/scan above, it is pretty clear that Dragon Ball FighterZ is connected to Dragon Ball Xenoverse, more specifically, Xenoverse 2. This trailer also features Dragon Ball FighterZ characters, events & story in Xenoverse continuity, such as Android 21 who is the central antagonist of FighterZ
====Dragon Ball Heroes x Dragon Ball FighterZ====
These are Japanese line of the scan's text:
*人造人間21号 研究者と超戦士 2つの 顔持つ人造人間! 
*「ドラゴンボールファイターズ」で初登場した人器人間21号が、 「SDBH」に登場!! アビリティとCAAで敵の戦闘力を制 隠し、 アルティメットユニットまで発動する強力な1枚だぞ!! 
English translation is:
*A researcher and a super-soldier, a synthetic with two faces! 
*Android 21, who first appeared in Dragon Ball FighterZ, is now available in SDBH! This is a powerful card that can conceal the enemy's combat power with its abilities and CAA, and even activate Ultimate Units! 
This confirms the connection between FighterZ and Heroes, which proves that FighterZ is also canon to Heroes multiverse. This animated trailer also shows Dragon Ball FighterZ story, events & characters in Super Dragon Ball Heroes such as Android 21
==Dragon Ball: The Breakers==
Dragon Ball: The Breakers shares the same timeline as Dragon Ball Xenoverse, as stated by the game's producerDragon Ball: The Breakers - Producer Message himself:
File:DB The Breakers 11.png
File:DB The Breakers 22.png
Furthermore, there are many instances showcasing the connection between the two titles, mainly the mission regarding the Temporal Seam which is the main focus of Dragon Ball: The Breakers
File:DBXV 33.png|The Temporal Seam mission in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

File:DB The Breakers 99.png|Time Nest, and the Time Vault as how it appears in The Breakers
File:DB The Breakers 110.png|The Temporal Seam
This confirms that Dragon Ball: The Breakers truly exists in the same world as Xenoverse, as how the producer himself claimed in his messages
==Dragon Ball Z Kakarot==
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot, too exists within the same multiverse as Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
As we can see in this video, the ending/epilogue of Xenoverse, where Towa - a Xenoverse character, picked up the remains of Mira - another Xenoverse character, flew away to collect more power to restore Mira after he had been destroyed
File:DBXV 111.png|Mira's remains
File:DBXV 222.png|Towa holding Mira's remains in ending/epilogue of Dragon Ball Xenoverse
File:Kakarot 1.png|Towa holding Mira's remains in Dragon Ball: The Breakers
In Kakarot, however, we immediately meet them again. The scene follows up on Xenoverse's ending/epilogue, where Towa still holds the remains of Mira. Later, Mira is restored after collecting enough energy. Towa and Mira however retreat after losing. Still, this explains how Mira is restored off-screen and re-appears in the following sequel of Xenoverse - Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, along with Towa, after they flew off to somewhere in the ending/epilogue of Dragon Ball Xenoverse
File:Kararot 2.png|Towa talking about going to a different timeline to collect more energy for Mira
In the above scan, Towa herself even stated that they will move to another timeline to collect energy. This confrims Dragon Ball Kakarot is, in fact, just another timeline within the multiverse of Dragon Ball Xenoverse, and further confirms that Kakarot and Xenoverse are indeed connected
==Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden==
====Dragon Ball Xenoverse x Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden====
The original Japanese line:
*トワ 
*暗黒魔界の科学者!! 紫色のエネルギー弾 で、相手を毒状態に。
English translation:
*Towa 
*A scientist of the Dark Demon Realm. She poisons the opponent with purple energy balls
We also see the render of Towa and Mira from Dragon Ball Xenoverse game. The poisonous purple energy balls mentioned in this statement are referring to the Bloody Sauce technique which is an ability only Xenoverse Towa uses, meaning that XV Towa & Mira appeared in Extreme Butoden. 
*This confirms that Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden is connected to Dragon Ball Xenoverse
====Dragon Ball Heroes x Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden====
 
The original Japanese line:
*時の界王神
*「時の裁き」を発動。 空中から裁きの雷撃 を相手に落とすぜ!!!
English translation:
*Supreme Kai of Time
*Activate Temporal Judgement to drop a thunderbolt of judgement on the opponent from the air!!!
In the guidebook we can also see Chronoa's render from Dragon Ball Heroes. The Temporal Judgement space-time technique is an ability only DBH Chronoa has used, meaning this is DBH Chronoa appearing in Extreme Butoden
*This also confirms that Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden is connected to Dragon Ball Heroes
==Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle==
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle is also connected to Dragon Ball Heroes
File:Dokkan 11.png|Official Dragon Ball website with Dokkan Battle crossover with Heroes
File:Dokkan 22.png|Ultimate Godslayers Hearts appears in Dokkan
File:Dokkan 33.png|Golden Meta Cooler, SFPS4LB Xeno Vegeta, SFPS4LB Xeno Goku, Ultimate Godslayers Hearts, Black Janemba

File:Dokkan 66.png|Lagss also appears in Dokkan
This confirms that Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle is connected to Dragon Ball Heroes, with multiple Heroes' characters appearing in Dokkan. 
==Dragon Ball Legends==
We also have Dragon Ball Legends, with Shallot - Dragon Ball Legends' protagonist, appearing in HeroesSDBH Arcade Ultra God Mission 2
File:Legend 1.png|Pic 1
File:Legend 2.png|Pic 2
File:Legend 3.png|Pic 3
File:Legend 4.png|Pic 4: Shallot as he appears in Dragon Ball Heroes
The following translation of what Xeno Trunks said
*Pic 1: "Here you can play special missions commemorating the 4th anniversary of Dragon Ball Legends"
*Pic 2: "Win the battle royale with Shallot"
*Pic 3: "In this age, Shallot will fight alongside you"
This confirms that Dragon Ball Legends exists within Dragon Ball Heroes multiverse, as Dragon Ball Legends' protagonist Shallot appears alongside Future Trunks in Heroes
==The Crack of Time and beyond baseline Low 1-C==
The Crack of Time/Time Chasm is a construct outside the DBXV/DBH multiverse. It has been stated multiple times to exist outside of time entirelyDragon Ball XenoverseSDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 11SDBH Dark Demon Realm Mission Manga Chapter 12 and is adjoined to all dimensionsDragon Ball Xenoverse at the same time, containing the entire multiverse inside it. It is also stated multiple times to be out of the reachSDBH Arcade Big Bang Mission 4 of Gods and legendary powerful beingsSDBH BBM Promotional Anime Episode 16 like Super ShenronSDBH Arcade Big Bang Mission 5 who can already affect the entire DBXV/DBH multiverse with their power.
With the Crack of Time being a construct, outside the normal multiverse and beyond normal reach, which mean this realm is beyond baseline Low 1-C range
==Conclusions==
We have Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Heroes within a shared multiverse as separate timelines. Furthermore, we have other, lesser games connected to either Xenoverse and Heroes respectively, or both at the same time, as follows:
*Dragon Ball Fusions is connected to both Xenoverse and Heroes
*Dragon Ball FighterZ is connected to both Xenoverse and Heroes
*Dragon Ball: The Breakers is stated by the game's producer to be in the same world as Xenoverse
*Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is confirmed by Towa to be a timeline in the Xenoverse multiverse
*Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden is connected to both Xenoverse and Heroes
*Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle is connected to Heroes
*Dragon Ball Legends is connected to Heroes
*and many more
Dragon Ball Heroes and Xenoverse's Multiverse is an infinite Low 1-C structure as Xenoverse has an infinite timelines statement, with Heroes also having a supporting countless timelines statement, and other games are connected to them 
Crack of Time is a beyond baseline Infinite Low 1-C structure which holds the Heroes/Xenoverse multiverse within it, and anyone who can affect/reach the Crack of Time or affect/reach the entire multiverse from it has beyond baseline infinite Low 1-C range.
==Notes==
*Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Heroes don't share a continuity with each other. However, they coexist as separate timelines within the same multiverse. For more information, see the cosmology blog that has been linked to above in this page. Thus, we do not scale certain feats from Xenoverse to Heroes and vice versa due to them being separate timelines, same with characters who appear in both games like Chronoa, Future Trunks (Xeno),......as they will have separated ratings based on Xenoverse and Heroes separately. However, there are some universal/multiversal mechanics and powers that can be scaled between both games, as they still coexist within the same multiverse (See Terminology section, Universal/Multiversal Power tab for more detailed information)
*For Dragon Ball Heroes/Super Dragon Ball Heroes, only the arcade game, the "Super Dragon Ball Heroes" manga and the promotional anime are considered to be usable for the relevant profiles. The arcade game is considered to be the “Primary Canon” and takes precedent over the others if direct contradictions need to be resolved (this does not mean that events that deviate or expand upon the story in other media are unusable, given that the manga is an extended canon which expands upon the original arcade game, and the anime exist solely for promotional purposes). Other continuities may be given their own keys if the character's appearance in that continuity is considered notable enough to justify its own section.
*The DBZ Movies, Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F are canon to Xenoverse 1 and Xenoverse 2 as both games have adapted the two movies into their storylines
*Toyotaro's DBS manga is also regarded as canon to the game multiverse, as characters like Goku and Vegeta are capable of performing abilities that they have only performed in the DBS manga such as the HakaiV-Jump July 2018 and the Gamma Burst Flash. And on top of that, not only does DBZ Kakarot completely adapt the events of the DBS Manga regarding Future Trunks stopping the resurrection of Majin Buu, but additionally, DBS Manga Infinite ZamasuSDBH Arcade Meteor Mission 4 has been confirmed to exist in the game multiverse. Thus, information from the DBS manga can be applied to the game multiverse
*As the cosmologies of both the Toei Anime and Dragon Ball Super are canon to the games, the accepted 2-C Macrocosms of the Toei anime would also be applicable to the game cosmology, with a single Macrocosm being 2-C in size and a single timeline being comprised of 12 to 18 of these Macrocosms. The games themselves also support this notion as the Copy Universe which is a direct copy of Universe 7's Living Universe, is repeatedly stated to be a space-time, with the the Copy Universe and the Original Universe even having their own histories.
*The “CC Timeline” is actually a version of the DBS Timeline in the game's multiverse. Characters from that timeline are DBS characters, but the nickname “CC” is made by fans to avoid confusion with the canon continuity and the Time Patrol (Xeno), and also because of Goku and Vegeta wearing Capsule Corp logo gi and armor on their first appearance in the game.
**CC Timeline's characters are currently confirmed to have experienced the events of the DB Anime, the DBZ Anime and some of the Z Movies, the DBS Anime and DBS Movies (Broly Movie)
**CC Timeline's characters exist only in Dragon Ball Heroes/Super Dragon Ball Heroes's Mainstream. They are not related to Xenoverse and while other DBH's Spin-offs do have Super characters in them, they are not the CC Timeline's characters.
*CC Timeline's characters and some Super's characters that appear in Heroes/Xenoverse are Dragon Ball Heroes/Xenoverse's adaptation of Dragon Ball Super, and by no means they are the actual Dragon Ball Super characters, thus they do not scale to Dragon Ball Super or Super's characters that appear in Heroes/Xenoverse and vice versa
*It should be noted that despite Dragon Ball Heroes's Missions (Original, Galaxy, Jaaku, God Mission) containing multiple different stories, they are all canon to DBH as a whole. And despite DBH/SDBH's original narrative starting at Dragon Ball Heroes God Missions and then continuing on to Super Dragon Ball Heroes, many elements, and characters (Like Broly) and lore from DBH's Missions are canon to God Mission and Super Dragon Ball Heroes forward.
