    GT gave the Saiyan roots back,gave the Dragon Balls an actual role and symbolism other than to resurrect already dead people.

      Every dragon ball series gives the dragon balls a role except for DBZ. In the original DB, they constantly searched for the dragon balls and king piccolo used it for youth. In DBS, the dragon balls were used by zamasu to wish for immortality and switch bodies with goku. Moro used them to wish for youth and break the prisioners out of jail. Granola used them to wish to be the strongest.

      In buu saga the elder supreme kai is shocked about learning the earth has a set of dragon balls, and he specifically said that the namekians were the only race ALLOWED to posses a set, in the first season (dragon ball) the dragon balls are introduced as one energy orb created by kami (god) but after witnessing the missuse of the db by humans, this kami (god) decided to divide this mistical orb in seven fragments, there's a lot of roots into the dragon balls lore but is buried deep within the show (db and dbz) , keep in mind that gt isnt cannon

Many of the DBZ clips found on youtube now are not bruce falconner/toonami, they are reedited over so to not show blood or background musics don't match the scenes and tensions of fights/showdowns.

    That sense of Mystery was always the one thing that made the ending of GT so special for me....
    Here is a quote from Robert Ebert when he reviewed the awful sequel to 2001: Space Odyssey; "I felt that the poetry of "2001" was precisely in its mystery, and that to explain everything was to ruin everything -- like the little boy who cut open his drum to see what made it bang."
    That's exactly what I felt like when I watch GT's ending. Not knowing where Goku went with the eternal Dragon at the end and returning after 100 years, it just made Goku go beyond legendary... something of a Myth. The little boy who went from a warrior, to a hero, from a hero, to a legend, and from a legend to somewhat of a god at the end and beyond. 100 year timeskip Goku is perhaps the most powerful being in all of Dragon Ball, if not all of Anime. Not because of his raw power.... but because of the story we grew up with... And the legend he ascended to become.

    My own head canon of this event along the lines of what's explained here is the Goku essentially becomes an alternative to using the dragon balls.
    Since the dragon balls got corrupted from over use, Shenron wanted to create a solution to remove them....but still have a way for the Earth to be able to repair and defend itself should the need arises.
    That solution...is Goku. Now with an immortal body, he's essentially permanently become earths protector. If there's ever any threat the jeopardizes earth. Goku will ALWAYS be there to defend it. Almost like a guardian spirit

      Bingo. It's twighlight zone we live in where people (mainly new generation) are accepting Dragon Ball Super. I was able to buy an original authentic DVD series for Dragonball GT (after ending movie bonus included), but til this day I am unable to find an authentic bruce falconner/toonami version of Dragon Ball Z in U.S. I can only find clips and long scenes of Dragon Ball Z on youtube but not full unedited original episodes that aired on Toonami or cartoon network back then. Many of the DBZ clips found on youtube now are not bruce falconner/toonami, they are reedited over so to not show blood or background musics don't match the scenes and tensions of fights/showdowns. If you know what I'm talking about and if you know how/if I can get a hold of this certain full DVD series of the real Dragon Ball Z U.S version then please dear god let me know? Take care man.

    I like the Daoism idea and it does make sense in context. I've always interpreted that when Goku was killed by Omega Shenron the regular Shenron was able to manifest and give Goku extra time and his eternal power to destroy Omega once for all. But it came at a price, Shenron and the Dragon Balls would merge with Goku altogether to become the champion of the Dragon Balls and essentially the whole universe to ensure they would never be used again. He would then go to the Dragon Realm which is talked about here and there sometimes (it was discussed and shown in Toyble's AF) where he'd go on a 100 year journey to become totally and utterly immortal and invincible. During this time he can never see any of his friends or family, but after he can visit the mortal realm and Earth as much as he wants.

    @rickblaine9670 2 роки тому +5

    One thing I recently realized, through my growing passion for the myth of King Arthur, is how much Goku's story in DBGT resembles Arthur's last years of life. The glory days of old (DBZ/the Round Table) are long gone and the last battle approaches - a battle against a very personal enemy the hero feels responsible for creating (the Shadow Dragons/Arthur's bastard son, Mordred) - so the hero is once again summoned by the magical entity that started his very first journey (the Dragon Balls/Merlin), which he must now experience once again in order to be ready for the final battle (Goku literally and symbolically relives his childhood/Arthur relives his first lessons with Merlin). Then, at the very end, the hero sacrifices himself battling the ultimate evil, but some residual form of him leaves with the promise that he will return when the time is right.
    I'm not saying this was all intentional - of course not, althoguh maybe some of it? Who knows... - but it's just to say how GT, with all its problems, truly elevated Goku's story to the status of a mythical tale.

      Plus super Saiyan 4 is the best design in my opinion.

      You are crazy if you like DBGT more than DBZ or the original DB. But I can respect your opinion if you think its better than DBS, although I'd disagree with you on it.

    The moment when akira toriyama sensei died in year of the dragon.
    Its like theres a crossover of episode 64 into real life.
    The moment all dragonballs absorbed into goku's body,
    Is another meaning that simply tell us that we cant collect and use dragonballs in real life.

    For so long the ending never really made sense to me until today. THANK YOU Geekdom for sharing this!

    I think goku and krillin sparring in the final episode of GT is still my favorite scene in the entirety of GT

      It really is beautiful and bittersweet seeing Krillin so old and Goku so young.

    I knew something was off about the ending. Thank you for clearing it up. I just wanna ask one quick question. In the movie with Goku Junior in it, the beginning part starts off with grandma pan and him praying in front of a headstone that was translated to Goku‘s name. Why did they make a headstone for him if he became an immortal being? Maybe I’m missing something here or they probably did that in remembrance of him since he never came back for a century
