Dragon Ball Super MUST COPY Dragon Ball GT - Here's Why.

Now in terms of reception, Dragon Ball Super is a mixed bag for the overall fandom. You know what else was a mixed bag? Dragon Ball GT. What if these Dragon Ball series learnt from one another to make a Dragon Ball Super Season 2 which was better than either of them? Not just Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Vegeta or Omega Shenron, but a better Goten and Bulla? Pan going Super Saiyan (FINALLY), be less of a jerk and of course still retain the charm of the grand tour and stepping into it. Here's why #DragonBallSuper must copy #DragonBallGT ! #DragonBall #DBZ #DragonBallZ
Dragon Ball GT vs Dragon Ball Super or Dragon Ball Super vs Dragon Ball GT - you decide!

@@kagesoultaker Despite being only in BT2 at the end of the Story Mode we see Goku (who was SSj4 for the entire time) reverts back as an adult which implies that they fixed that issue you are mentioning which I applaud for them doing that because the whole reason he went to adventure outer space was to become an Adult again by using the Black-Star Dragon Balls. My best guess is that they used the Namekian Dragon Balls (which is what we seen from DBGT if not mistaken to bring Earth back the way it is, and remember they grant "3 Wishes") so whatever the other 2 Wishes were it should've made Goku be an Adult again which makes sense to me for the sake of Budokai Tenkaichi 2's Version of DBGT's Story.

[@mercwitmouth]

I was hoping super would've made Teen Trunks and Teen Goten the main characters. Give them a journey for few new arcs. Then continue the arcs with Pan, Bra, and Uub as the new main characters. Have Pan and Uub have a rivalry. Since Goku left to train Uub, have Piccolo train Pan, while Vegeta trains Bra. And Roshi and 18 train Marin. And it could lead up to a new World Martial Arts Tournament to see who's pupil is the best.

[@Hawkcam1996]

I actually didn’t mind Goku becoming a kid again. What I didn’t like about it was that he *stayed* that way throughout the whole series. I think that unlocking Super Saiyan 4 should’ve permanently reverted him back into an adult, since it temporarily reverted him into an adult anyway. Should’ve been a permanent reversion.

[@RacingSnails64]

Agreed 100%. Goku turning back into a kid again IS actually a good idea, but I think it loses steam after a small handful of episodes. There's a certain ingenuity in swapping between hijinks with kid Goku and action with adult Goku, but adult Goku is widely agreed to just be much better all around.

[@Hawkcam1996]

@@Drag0nknight999 I’m pretty sure the explanation is that SS4 is just so powerful that it can overpower the wish that turned him into a kid, temporarily reversing it.

[@kingbranden1369]

I suppose the criticism here would be that not every character needs to be likable. It's more important that they be relatable. A flaw is fine if it's understandable. Never seeing the flaw fixed is also fine if they're not the sort of person who goes out of their way to fix their own flaws.

One of people's biggest complaints about dragon ball is how the dragon balls frequently remove the tension of death (I'm not going to pretend death is the only thing that brings tension like other people, but in dragon ball it is a big deal) - the shadow dragons coming from the overuse of the dragon balls makes so much sense and helps quite a bit.

Unpopular opinion: I really like Goten in GT. I don't buy into the notion that he was too jarringly different from his kid self. He's still likeable, still charming, still has good social skills, and still has a good heart. Him being a flirt adds contrast without taking away from any of his virtues and also reminds us that, yes, he's not 100% Saiyan. He (much like Gohan and Trunks) is not interested in fighting all of the time. He's half human, and therefore prone to having human flaws and human interests. Let him live, make mistakes and learn from them. I would have loved to have seen more of him in GT.

[@al3459]

vouch. Goten in gt felt like his own character and not just a little Goku.

[@jadeepicpgaming]

Absolutely agree. He’s his person now and that’s basically how he was acting during End of Z

I co-sign this as well. Goten in GT is way more interesting than he ever was in Z.

[@razkable]

its weird though cause hes basically goku jr. so it does not fit his character imo

I enjoyed him too. It felt like Saiyans had come very far from an alien found in the woods. Gohan struggled to fit in at that age, but Goten had become a real city boy, and it felt like Earth was truly his home.

[@the_rose_garden01]

I've never understood how people thought Goku was abandoning his family at the end of Z. Like, he's massively faster than light speed, and can literally teleport across the planet at will. The rest of his family and friends are all stupid fast as well. He's basically right around the corner no matter where he is.

[@number3stunner118]

Probably because of the assumption that he wasn't involved with them while he was gone with Uub.

[@rekc_bcq4816]

Fashionista Bulla is actually really appealing to me. That leaves the opportunity for a bunch of fun new outfits for the Z fighters. I can also see a fun slice of life episode where she keeps on trying to make her friends and family wear outfits that really don’t fit them. Like those drip memes you see for Goku and such. The idea of Trunks sounds good to me. A humble but confident guy could be played with. I can see bits where the humble layer falls off and he’s just messing with opponents like his father. Not to the point of being dangerous, but just enjoying the fight and being prideful in a healthy way

[@jadeepicpgaming]

That’s exactly what head-canon for Bura. In my fan manga she creates and puts together outfits. In it she’s starts when she puts one together for the guy she likes who is also the mc of the book

GT is its own thing. A lot of the series stems from Toei's old interpretation of the DB Universe. DBS is spearheaded by Toyotaro and Toriyama. As you can see at times. Toyotaro incorporated some Toei ideas in DBS, like the Yardrat design from that anime while also using Toriyama's from Dragon Ball Online as well. Toriyama seems to always want to make the story of each element his way even if based on a Toei idea. Edit: Said Tsufurian instead of Yardrat. My bad!

I feel like an integration for SSJ4 would work for Broly, now hear me out. Broly has been shown so far to be a more natural Saiyan then Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, etc. especially for the case of Gohan with him going his own path instead of the God stuff. With the further separation of Vegeta and Goku you could easily add Broly into that archetype and have him obtain a form similar to ssj4 especially because of his Wrath form being different and his different natured Super Saiyan. That’s just my thoughts on how they could integrate it without it being a total cheese for Goku and Vegeta to achieve. Masako if you end up reading this I’d like to know your thoughts on this.

I think in Dragon Ball Fighterz SSJ4 Gogeta mentions how similar DB Super Broly is to a SSJ4 actually lol. I'd love to see the form return

[@shadowblade5656]

The description of his Wrath form HAD to be a deliberate nod to SS4; his ability to harness the power of the giant ape without the full transformation makes it seem like SS4 is not only a possibility, but the obvious natural progression for this version of Broly, imo.

I think another shot at a Super 17 Arc could be really interesting. After the time we've spent with 17 in DBS and grown to love the character as a good guy, a plot involving 17 being forcefully brainwashed/programmed to combine with a second evil 17 could generate interesting reactions from our heroes.

[@Golden_Deus]

Actually i was thinking something along the lines of Super 17 arc, but adding in the possible remains of the Red Ribbon army and possibly some PROPER outside influences to help make another 17 and create super 17. Heck, maybe have a 4 v 1 with 18, Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan fighting the mind controller super 17, while Goten, Trunks, Tien, Yamcha, and the other Z figheters take on the newly revived Red Ribbon army. It would give the crew something to actually do and have stakes vs what super 17 ended up being.

[@Wakeem.Creations]

I don’t believe that would fit 17 character at this point. I mean he revived all the destroyed universes then some bad influences take him?

[@vaatiwrileythewolf1746]

this easily could take the oppurtunity to introduce multiple characters as well, if its red ribbon, we could also bring in dr gero's super computer, give it a better explanation and bring in androids 13, 14 and 15, and taking inspiration from FighterZ, add 21 who is created by the super computer to be way more of a hands on and capable ring leader than 13 or the super computer, she can then devise the plan to use the dragon balls and revive the evil future 17 and bring him to the present and then do the whole fusion thing with the two androids, and instead of turning it into just a super android 17 arc make it a return of the androids arc. although i dont think that 13 14 and 15 could work because they are mentioned in canon but idk to what extent, also the computer was destroyed along with the lab but im sure that this can be easily gotten around through explaining the computer wasnt completely destroyed or theres a yet another lab since gero had a few. this is just a thought though.

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

An all-kids main cast could work quite well I think: Trunks as the strategic fighter who prefers to dismantle his enemies by exploiting their weak points, Goten as the somewhat naive heart of the group, preferring to resolve things peacefully, but a powerhouse true to his father if he gets serious, Pan as the self-proclaimed leader the others are basically humoring, having to learn to let go of her grudges and calm down, Bulla as the straight man among them, mainly keeping the rest of the bunch on track (also an effective tag-team with her brother) and finally Uub, possibly torn between his immense inherited potential, and not actually wanting to be a warrior. Could be a good plot starter. (Maybe even throw in Maron, as a kindly "team mom" type of character who mainly shines as emotional support outside the action) The old main cast can poke in then and again when the stakes get too high for the juniors (instant transmission is a thing) and provide a dose of nostalgia. Or they show up for some 2 pages every chapter or two / 5 minutes every other episode, hinting at a background plot that doesn't seems too connected to the kids' adventures - until they story lines converge and they all come together for the finale.

[@RacingSnails64]

[@Xylospring]

5:50 I really like the idea of there being some kind of anger over Goku leaving. this can have the side effect where she's the second strongest of the Saiyan Hybrids, training with Gohan getting training in by cheering her up. Maybe there's no sneaking onboard the ship, maybe Pan challenges her Grandpa and gets to go on her own. Doesn't beat him, and maybe some annoyance could revolve in that.

[@thebrokenpuppet2714]

I think maybe a better way to think of this is “what super can learn from GT” rather than “what super should copy from GT” That being said I wouldn’t mind if they never tried adapting anything from GT into super or whatever is next. The tone is so vastly different. Granted I do kinda have a Bias, I have no nostalgia for GT, cuz it was way before my time. (My introduction to dragon ball was Kai and then I read the manga from there). I think that generational difference really makes me not like the tone and vibes of GT at all.

I'm hoping, and I have pretty strong faith given the trailer we've gotten. I hope Pan gets the big "hero moment" in Super Hero, and because the villain organization is the RR army it would make sense. Just like in the original Dragon Ball series as kid Goku defeated the RR army, his grand daughter 3 generations on also defeats the new RR army (which will hopefully give us SSJ Pan, speaking specifically about that one scene in the trailer) like, I can't be the only one that sees this potential mirror, can I? This then, opens the door for "the next generation" to take on a more of a hero role as the arcs, new arcs, move into uncharted territory.

[@Darkman9000]

I think the "being turned into a kid" plot could work, if it had been used on more than just Goku. Like say it was also wished upon Vegeta, Piccolo, and for a real curve ball, Freeza. Have these characters all shrunken down, their powers hampered by both the lack of muscle and form able to wield such incredible strength, something that was only briefly touched in GT, and mostly because nobody knows how to make super Saiyan 3 work well. This would mean battles requiring more strategy and skill instead of just powering up to a specific level to snag the win. And with someone like Freeza being even more concerned about his height, that would offer a lot more hilarity to the story than "Goku acts like a kid again", which would also be toned down since nothing about the wish ever implied that it affected the mind. Also, have it only last one arc, like ten episodes, tops.

[@aerostrafe1075]

@@j.i.k2.044 I didn't care much for Majuub myself. It comes off like trying to be kid buu a little too much so now I just see him as "kid buu light". Its the same reason I don't like Goku Jr as a concept. You get too close to the thing you're coming from and now the sun burns you.

[@ryanscanlon2151]

I never have time to be at the what if live stream but maybe I can get this idea noticed here. What if Saiyans were bad at God Ki. Workshop the title if you please but the idea is what if relative to humans and Namekians that Saiyans were bad at using God Ki, having to struggle more with it and get lower % gains of power from it so the humans and piccolo could use God Ki to close the power gap with Goku and Vegeta? God Ki was the perfect time to give everyone else a power boost but didn't, also adds a nice bit if extra room to grow being half human half Saiyan, you could explore this untapped greater potential the half Saiyans have.

I think Goku being turned into a Kid would work if it wasn't the entire series and only for a small part of GT I mean that's what happened in other shows that had their characters get turned into kids and it worked

[@Ninjaguy3128]

Apparently Super’s iteration of Goku is what Toriyama originally intended. He intended for Goku to be THAT dumb from the start, apparently. I don’t much mind Goku being a kid in GT, if I’m honest. It was something different and unique to do, and also an obstacle for Goku since his kid body doesn’t have that much stamina to hold Super Saiyan 3 or even use Instant Transmission. I do agree on Bra’s design though, it should be changed.

[@pablogomesoliveira2677]

Ssj3 kid goku could hold the ssj3 transformation for way longer than z goku , possible even more than super goku , so I don’t know what you are trying to say there , also having a small body ( fighting wise ) is much better than having a big body because you can be more agile and swift and the opponent will have a harder time hitting you

GT was my introduction to Dragon Ball, so it'll always have a special place in my heart. There was a time when I thought it was trash though (mainly due to following the bandwagon), but now that I've given it time to think it over.....yes GT wasn't perfect, buy it was still pretty damn good. I rewatched it and still loved it.

[@nolanlynch2430]

Having Trunks, Goten, Pan and Bulla go on an adventure would be awesome. Having their own separate arcs and story. Also having Gohan and Piccolo with the main arcs. Have a spin off show that runs across the main show or at least movies that can move the characters along in depth and AGE!

[@designerwookiee]

Maybe future Dragon Ball series could pull inspiration from Cultivation fantasy novels. One common trope is some form of dimensional hierarchy, where beings of a certain level of power are forced to ascend to a higher dimension under cosmic law. This "certain level" is basically whenever they reach a point that they could singlehandedly threaten the stability of the universe in their current dimension. Meanwhile, the next dimension up is more stable and basically contains their power to a more normal level again. It's usually possible to visit lower dimensions after restricting one's power to the peak of what is acceptable in that dimension, but that comes with the risk of being killable in the lower dimensions if you get ganged up on by more skilled enemies or a large group of peak-power level enemies. With this concept, Zenos could create a new universe that is stronger and more stable than the main 12 universes, and which forcefully ascends anyone that isn't a Kai, God of Destruction, or Angel that surpasses a certain power level from the 12 universes to this new universe. Here, everyone is basically nerfed to the level of Raditz arc DBZ. Sure, they can power up and fire off special attacks to their heart's content, but they're not gonna destroy the planet, just rough up a few mountains. This would forcefully split the story of Dragon Ball up in such a way that Goku and Vegeta are stuck having their own story in a new universe for a while before they figure out how to contain their power enough to descend back down to Universe 7, giving the story time to focus on everyone else for a while. But they would probably want to make frequent trips back to the Ascension Dimension to train. There would probably be a bit of a freak-out at the beginning as everyone wonders where Goku and Vegeta are, but everyone would probably figure out what's going on from some source or another eventually, whether it's the Shenron / the Dragon Balls, King Kai, Whis / Beerus, etc. I think it would be somewhat believable. Zenos enjoys watching strong fighters fighting. Why not aggregate the strongest beings from all 12 universes into a new, stronger universe that will enable them to train to an even stronger level of power so that they can fight even more?

[@devilmikey00]

My biggest problem with early GT is there is ZERO stakes. The show turned goku into a kid but didn't really take away his powers so he's still basically a fricken god. Pretty much every conflict in the grand tour section only happens because goku just forgets he can go super saiyan or pan gets kidnapped preventing him from attacking but usually she only gets kidnapped in the first place because goku didn't go super saiyan lol.

[@charleswisconsin9196]

there absolutely were stakes.

[@goni2493]

Pan and Bulla would be at the same age, Uub would most likely be the main character, and let's be honest MasakoX, Toriyama and Toyatoro would most likely go with some of the plot points in Dragon Ball Online.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I quite liked the idea of Uub and Buu reuniting as Majuub.

Broly in Super is the key to ss4. His transformation explanation from his father is the concept of ss4.

[@chancemitchell4147]

I wouldn’t mind Bulla’s schtick being prissy but also being a legit fighter. Like. In her downtime, she’s big into trends and being fashion forward high-fashion. Good natured but a bit snobby…but she legitimately takes training and strengthening herself seriously. I think it’d be nice to see her juggle those two worlds. Acclimating to Earth culture and being socialized as a human but trying to play into her ancestral roots.

[@ashdalbey4700]

I think they should reformat the series so that the grand tour is Pan, Uub, and adult Goku. Make it so that Goku is going around, fighting remnants of the freeza force while training both of them. In the mean time, Goten, Trunks, Gohan, vegeta, and others are defending the earth. That way you can go back and forth between the two, giving uub and pan time to develop off screen. I especially like the idea of Pan acting as a new vegeta, competing to prove that she is better than this kid uub that showed up out of nowhere and took her grandpa away from her. She can still be a good kid, but giving her that competitive spirit could be interesting, though uub would need to be far weaker so she could potentially catch up

[@dorrianbrooks9408]

I think Pans competitive spirit works especially with Videl being her mom lol

[@BlackKnightOfTheWind]

The thing that I like about the Shadow Dragons is that it's the proverbial other shoe dropping, the logical consequence of how the phenominal cosmic power of the Dragon Balls had become used so frivolously. Plus it makes a fantastic bookend to the franchise (at the time, at least), where the Dragon Balls take center stage in the very beginning and again at the end.

You make a lot of very sound arguments, MasakoX! Gotta agree with basically everything you're saying. Eager to see how the Dragon Team handles Super Hero and the next manga arc after Granolah the Survivor and, even, what the fallout to the Survivor arc is going to be. I've been saying for a long time now that you can tell Earth-based stories where Gohan is the strongest there is, and where Krillin or Yamcha is your street-level Daredevil type character, if they want to, if they find the creativity for these stories, power isn't the problem, it's do they have writers that care enough and do they think these stories have an audience? I think so, but perhaps the Dragon Team isn't so sure yet. But I'd love to see them take a really big swing at it, come what may.
