GT elitism and revisionist history are a constant with discussions about this show. People like to gloat that Goku is the wisest he’s ever been or Vegeta has all this development. I think there characterizations are actually not that well done. Goku is the same as he’s always been, he’s not any smarter. And Vegeta’s development has only pushed him behind Goku, and it’s something the character himself clearly didn’t like. I think there are good things about GT that should be talked about, as opposed to that stuff. And I’m going to talk about them here.
Black Star Dragon Ball Saga
Pan is probably one of the most developed characters in the show. While she never gets a big W moment, she does develop and learn to appreciate Giru. Giru is also a character I liked a lot. As well as M2 in general. That’s when the arc picks up. The planet looks cool. Characters like the sigma force and Rildo were nice to see. Giru’s supposed betrayal and then reveal that he didn’t was fantastic. And it leads into the Baby Saga nicely. Ledgic was cool too, can’t forget about him.
Baby Saga
Y’all already know why this Saga is loved as much as it is. Y’all already know why SSJ4 is cool. Y’all already know why Baby is an excellent villain. So I’m not gonna talk about it.
Super 17 Saga
So much wasted potential. But 18 carries the arc. She is easily the best part about it. Krillin’s death and her contributions to Super 17’s defeat are well done.
Shadow Dragons Saga
People only talk about the concept and not what it actually got right. The designs for most of the dragons is awesome. Oceanus, Nuova, Eis, Syn, and Omega look great. Nuova Shenron was him. Syn and Omega felt like wise old sage dragons, which is what they were kinda. And they have aura too. I don’t need to talk about Gogeta or the ending cause y’all already know why that stuff is good.
So these are the things I liked about GT. And if you’d notice, that’s most of the show actually. GT is a good show. It’s just that tribalism has led to more hatred for the show, from both sides. And dishonesty from a lot of fans too. It makes GT more hated than it should be. And it makes others like myself seem like GT haters. I don’t want that.
Thanks for reading.
