Dragonball GT.....what were they thinking??


This series is so Saiyan orientated, other characters are barely ever seen or heard from, and have little or not part to play in the winning of battles, etc

I mean they take such a great fighter like Piccolo and treat him like garbage, and then there's Yamcha, Tien, Chiatzou, Krillin......grrrrr this series is just so spectacularly bad, I wish Akira Toriyama would come back and write another series just to erase the memory of the crap known as GT, and give us a much better swansong ending, I don't think the creators realise that not all of us love Goku and Vegeta, they were the main two, whereas in Z, it was them and Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo and Trunks

The villains were terrible, the fights were rushed, the stories were utterly bad, I just hate this show with a passion, especially for treating my favourite character Piccolo like a nothing

No wonder it didn't last long, I don't count it as a part of the story, just a bad nightmare, Buu saga was the end.....end of

Any opinions on this matter??

I agree 99%. I don't count GT. Actually no one should since it is non canon to begin with. The buu saga is really were everything ended off. There is only one thing I disagree with and that is that the show only focused on goku being the hero all the time. vegeta really didn't get anywhere near good until the fight against omega shenron. so even vegeta was put aside for a super cocky goku which is completely unlike goku to begin with.

I agree with you both. GT was horrible. Turning fan favorite characters like Piccolo and Gohan into total pussies was a bad idea. That's why the series got cancelled and rushed. I mean,how retarded can you be to believe that 2 Android #17's togheter could be stronger than Cell, much less Buu. GT sucks the dragons's balls.

reply

Just don't take GT seriously.

It's as easy as that.
I enjoy the series. I don't consider it a part of the original series, but a "what if" story.
Although they should have thought some things through first.

reply

The whole show is so stupid.

They show Kakarot owning people in base form or Super Sayian when Vegeta can't even tough the bad guys.

So stupid how Kakarot is the complete center of this stupid show.

This is definitely canon. Not canon to the manga series, but canon to the anime series.

"This series is so Saiyan orientated, other characters are barely ever seen or heard from, and have little or not part to play in the winning of battles, etc"
sounds like dbz then.

"I mean they take such a great fighter like Piccolo and treat him like garbage"
he wasnt in it much but he wasnt treated like *beep* he got an epic noble death.

"Yamcha, Tien, Chiatzou, Krillin"
who havent done anything of note since the fight with nappa.

"I wish Akira Toriyama would come back and write another series just to erase the memory of the crap known as GT, and give us a much better swansong ending"
and why would it be automatically better just cos AT's writing it? you saw buu saga right? it SUCKED. besides he said in an interview if he continued dbz, his sequel would be a gag manga about mr satan and mr buu.

"The villains were terrible"
i give you buu, who was a copy of cell who was a copy of frieza. dont get me started on the movies.

"the stories were utterly bad"
cos you say so. you didnt give a reason.

"especially for treating my favourite character Piccolo like a nothing"
hes been nothing since his fight with 17 ended.

"I don't count GT. Actually no one should since it is non canon to begin with"
so what? there are spin off sequels in hollywood by different writers/directors all the time. just because they arent by the original writer doesnt mean they cant be counted. plus toriyama had a hand in gt and said its the continuation of the story.

"There is only one thing I disagree with and that is that the show only focused on goku being the hero all the time."
youve seen dragon ball and the movies right? he is this shows superman. toei thinks the fans come to see goku fight.

"vegeta really didn't get anywhere near good until the fight against omega shenron"
why, cos he wasnt beating any main villains? you must have HATED z.

" a super cocky goku which is completely unlike goku to begin with."
oh really? i give you buu saga. goku is the epitome of cocky when he puts his saiyan pride about the universes safety to fight kid buu with his own power by himself.

"Turning fan favorite characters like Piccolo and Gohan "
your opinion only.

" Piccolo and Gohan into total pussies "
pussies dont look a villain immensely stronger than himself in the eye and still attacks him head on. why are they pussies? cos gohan didnt really beat any main villains? you must have hated gohan in saiyan saga and buu saga. gohan in gt is about as far from a pussy as you can possibly get. if your talking about how they appear weak all the time, weakness =/pussy. it would then make roshi a pussy. it would make tien a pussy. not fair is it?

"That's why the series got cancelled and rushed."
kai got cancelled for legal reasons and its only 30 episodes longer than gt.

"I mean,how retarded can you be to believe that 2 Android #17's togheter could be stronger than Cell, much less Buu. GT sucks the dragons's balls."
because you dont understand a thing and didnt watch gt properly. the 17 clone they made in hell is stronger than kid buu. and the original 17 had dormant power on cell's level but since 17 didnt listen to orders, gero supressed it. plus the fusion they used isnt just 17 + 17. its their full power multiplied together.

"So stupid how Kakarot is the complete center of this stupid show."
he isnt. at least pan and vegeta get some real decent screentime and goku would be dead without his friends help several times in gt.

reply

The series was worn out by the time GT began.

reply

you were right why in gt they need to turn goku to child! they don't make sense and krillin, yamcha, tien and piccolo are gone to help fight in the stories! and goku 4 is terrible idea they should stay only until goku 3!

reply

I enjoyed GT. But I was never a die hard fan anyway. And I didn't really like the way Z ended. Keep in mind this was before BATTLE OF GODS, a film I actually have yet to see.

I've been watching DB GT and yes, it's very bad, specially little brat Pan, she has the worst of Mr. Satan and beyond. All she did was beating up that little robot and was that supossed to be funny? She even gave Goku a hit in the head. Weird, since japanese culture is very respectuful to elder people, specially when they are close relatives.

Why Goku`s skin tone is darker? I thought Vegeta was more like tan and Trunks likewise, but in this series Goku is darker and Trunks is pale.

reply

I'm a Z fan from wayback and at age 29 just watched Season 1 of DBGT, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised.

It's faster paced, entertaining, and has most of the DB characters that you want to see. I thought the Baby saga was actually awesome!

I don't care whether DBGT happened in canon or not, maybe it's an alternate timeline.

reply

its cannon to the anime but not the manga now though because dragon ball super is out that one is the offical 3 series an this one is aleternate universe sequel

reply

GT is the timeline/reality that the movies takes place in. Dragon Ball Super reveals that there are 5 alternate timelines to the main one.
