Most of the villains (minus the Para Para brothers) fall into the "For the Evulz" trope.Vegeta is reduced to a "Megward the Wizard"-type character who gets routinely humiliated by the villains, which was a problem that started in the Cell Saga.
#WHAT DOES GT STAND FOR IN DRAGON BALL GT SERIES#
As said above, the appearance of Gogeta attempts to connect the DBZ series to the movies, only to end up even more confusing.In fact, he acts more like Vegetto and Gotenks when you think about it.Gogeta is portrayed as an idiotic goofball and not as the pragmatic badass he was in Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn and Dragon Ball Super: Broly.This was also a problem that began in the Majin Buu saga.Bonus points for Piccolo being absent for most of the series, only to get killed off in an incredibly stupid way at the end of the Baby Saga.It's no surprise that the show ended up getting the nickname of "Dragon Ball: Goku Time". Most of Dragon Ball Z's heroes, such as Vegeta, Gohan, Good Buu, Bulma, Videl, Krillin, Goten and Piccolo get sidelined in GT in favor of Goku and Pan.In the final arc, she was eventually reduced into a "dumbass in distress" who always needs to be rescued by Goku.While she was introduced at the end of the manga and Dragon Ball Z, she was changed here from a sweet, adorable kid to a whiny, insufferable brat who constantly abuses Giru, mouths off at Goku and thinks she's better than everyone else. Pan is a really annoying character, especially for a new character in the franchise.After that, Pilaf and his minions are all but forgotten about, despite being responsible for the whole series. Pilaf of all people is responsible for making Goku turn into a child again, which is an embarrassing reason why he and his companions went looking for the Black Star Dragon Balls in the first place. The Pilaf Gang only appear as plot devices to run the entire series.The characterization is rather lackluster compared to the other Dragon Ball series.Since Piccolo is somehow connected to the Black Star Dragon Balls, he is killed off to ensure their permanent destruction, which feels like the writers only did this to kill off a character they no longer deemed useful.Who would create such artifacts whose downside is blowing up their homeworld? This logic not only makes no sense even by science-fiction standards, but is also very stupid. In an attempt to create stakes, these artifacts are designed to destroy the Earth if not collected within a year's time, not to mention the usage of these balls causes them to scatter across the universe instead of well-hidden locations on the planet just because they have unlimited power. The Black Star Dragon Balls serve as nothing more but contrived plot devices to shove in the nostalgia of the original anime and manga.His Super Saiyan 4 state also only makes him an adult temporarily until he shrinks back down into his child state. Speaking of which, the only time we see Goku as an adult is when he transforms into a Super Saiyan 4 and at the tail end of the series.This was a cheap attempt at bringing back the old charm of the original anime and manga and to pander towards a younger audience. Goku gets turned back into a child in the first episode and stays that way for the rest of the show, pretty much ruining his character development.The main problem for this show is that Akira Toriyama didn't really have that much involvement in the show, other than creating the logo for this show and making the character designs, which led to GT lacking what made the original Dragon Ball and Z animes great.As a result, it has since been declared non-canon to the entire Dragon Ball franchise. The show was poorly received by fans of both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, and is considered to be one of Toei Animation's biggest flops. It is a sequel to the previous Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z anime series, and was the only series in the Dragon Ball franchise not based directly on the original manga by Akira Toriyama until the release of Super Dragon Ball Heroes. Produced by Toei Animation, the series premiered in Japan on Fuji TV on February 7, 1996, spanning 64 episodes until its end on November 19, 1997. The "GT" stands for "Grand Tour", by the way.ĭragon Ball GT (Japanese: ドラゴンボールジーティー Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Jī Tī) is a Japanese anime series based on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga.
