There is this Dragon Ball family tree been shared in Dragon Ball related
websites, which shows the name "Tarble" (ターブル - Tāburu)) in japanese. Is this
official? Has Tarble been canonized? IIRC a brother of Vegita was mentioned in
Battle of Gods but nobody said his name

Is Tarble canon?


As far as the official Dragon Ball continuity is concerned, Tarble is **non-
canon**.

Tarble is mentioned in the movie adaptation of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods,
but was not mentioned at all in the episodes of Dragon Ball Super that covered
the events of the movie.

Whether or not he will be mentioned in the new movie, Dragon Ball Super:
Broly, remains to be seen. The movie officially releases in Japan on December
14th.

Tarble is now canon.

He was mentioned in the _Broly_ movie that just released. Not by name, but
Raditz Nappa and the remaining Saiyans asked Vegeta if he had a brother and he
said yes, implying that he didn’t care too much about him or know him. And
wondered what happened to him. Right after Nappa asked about Raditz' younger
brother (Kakkarot).

So Akira had already made them mention Tarble in the original _Battle of Gods_
cut for the ritual but he didn’t know where he was. Indicating that The
Special for Tarble was canon and hinted that they may have taught him how to
go Super Saiyan (you don’t need Super Saiyan for the ritual, Pan wasn’t one)
But Tarble is and will always be canon. _Dragon Ball Z_ tries not to follow
the story of _Dragon Ball_ (Japan) too much. The special is called _Dragon
Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!_. Came out in 2008. So official
it’s not even dubbed.

Tarble is canon since 2008 Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!
is a canon film because the story concept was by Akira toriyama and Tarble
himself was made by Akira so yes he is canon except akira somewhere mentioned
that the film is not canon then its something else
