when does dbz wrath of the dragon take place

“Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon” (also known as “Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Fist Explosion!! If Goku Can’t Do It, Who Will?”) is the 13th Dragon Ball Z movie. Its placement in the Dragon Ball Z timeline can be somewhat ambiguous, but it is generally considered to take place after the events of the Buu Saga and before the end of Dragon Ball Z.

Here are some key points for context:

1. Post-Buu Saga: The movie features characters and transformations that are present after the Buu Saga, such as Goku’s Super Saiyan 3 form.
2. Before End of Z: The movie is set before the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament, where Goku meets Uub. This tournament marks the conclusion of Dragon Ball Z.

Thus, “Wrath of the Dragon” is best placed in the period after the defeat of Kid Buu but before the time skip to the end of Dragon Ball Z.
