Plot[edit]
Five years after the end of the Dragon Ball Z anime (10 years in the Funimation dub),[2]Goku is turned back into a child by the Black Star Dragon Balls (究極のドラゴンボールKyūkyoku no Doragon Bōru, lit. 'Ultimate Dragon Ball') used by his old enemy Emperor Pilaf and is forced to travel across the universe to retrieve them along with his granddaughter Pan and Trunks. The trio go through various adventures in their journey to find the Black Star Dragon Balls, until they encounter the evil artificial Tuffle, Baby, who intends to destroy the Saiyan race.
Baby has the ability to invade other people's bodies and turn them into Tuffles, as well as using a host body to combine its power with his own and become a powerful fighter. After turning practically all of the Earth's population, including the Saiyans, into Tuffles, Baby decides to remain inside Vegeta's body and use it to kill Goku. Goku fights him and is quickly defeated, but, after having his tail regenerated by Kibito Kai and Old Kai, transforms and achieves the power of Super Saiyan 4 (スーパーサイヤ
A year after Baby's defeat, Dr. Myuu (Baby's creator) and Dr. Gero (creator of the Red Ribbon Army androids) create an evil replica of Android 17 and have it fuse with the original Android 17, creating Super 17. Super 17 seems impervious to Goku's attacks, but when Android 18 attacks him for murdering her husband, Krillin, Goku takes advantage of the distraction to penetrate through Super 17 with his Super Dragon Fist (超龍拳Chō Ryūken) technique, then unleashes a Rapid-Fire Kamehameha (連続かめはめ波Renzoku Kamehameha, lit. 'Continuous Turtle Destruction Wave') that completely eradicates him.
Due to the constant misuse of the Dragon Balls, seven Shadow Dragons are then summoned to destroy the Earth. All but the most powerful, Syn Shenron, are defeated by Goku and Pan. Syn Shenron appears to be losing until he absorbs the Dragon Balls and gains tremendous power, becoming Omega Shenron and surpassing even Goku's power. Goku is about to sacrifice himself to destroy the evil dragon, but then Vegeta gains the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, thanks to Bulma's new device, the Blutz Wave Generator. Goku and Vegeta fuse using the Fusion Dance technique to create Gogeta, who uses his immense power to beat Omega Shenron to a pulp. However, after being too confident in his ability to defeat Omega Shenron, he uses up too much time in an attempt to embarrass him. Gogeta then defuses and Goku and Vegeta revert to their base forms. Eventually, using the energy of every living being in the universe, Goku creates the incredibly powerful Universal Spirit Bomb (全世界の元気玉Zensekai no Genki Dama, lit. 'Energy Sphere of the Whole World') and uses it to destroy Omega Shenron once and for all.
The real Shenron appears to grant Goku and his friends one last wish, and then proceeds to disappear - along with Goku and the Dragon Balls. Several decades later, Goku's great-great-grandson, Goku Jr., competes in the 64th Tenkaichi Budōkai (
Production[edit]
Unlike the previous anime series in the Dragon Ball franchise, Dragon Ball GT does not adapt the manga series written by Akira Toriyama, but tells an original story conceived by the Toei Animation staff using the same characters and universe from the original Dragon Ball manga, and it continues the story where Dragon Ball Z had left off. Toriyama did, however, come up with the Dragon Ball GT name, which stands for 'Grand Tour', in reference to the series having the characters travel through the universe, and designed the appearances of the main cast. Toriyama himself referred to GT as a 'side story of the original Dragon Ball'.[3]
Chief character designer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru said he agonized over designing Super Saiyan 4 Goku, which was the idea of the show's producers, questioning whether it was necessary to go further with the transformations. Because Super Saiyan 4 is brought about while in a Saiyan's Great Ape (大猿Ōzaru, lit. 'Great Monkey') form, he made the hair more 'wild' and covered Goku's body in red fur. There was only a single final draft of the character; although Nakatsuru did consider making the hair blond, he ended up choosing black as it provides more contrast with the red fur.[4]
Music[edit]
The music of Dragon Ball GT was composed by Akihito Tokunaga, although the series uses five pieces of theme music by popular recording artists. Field of View performs the series opening theme, 'Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku' (DAN DAN 心魅かれてく), which is used for all 64 episodes. 'Hitori Janai' (ひとりじゃない), performed by Deen, is used for the ending theme for the first 26 episodes. Starting at episode 27, the series begins using Zard's 'Don't You See!' for the ending theme. Episode 42 marks the next ending theme change, with 'Blue Velvet' by Shizuka Kudō being used. 'Sabitsuita Machine Gun de Ima o Uchinukō' (錆びついたマシンガンで今を撃ち抜こう), performed by Wands, is introduced as an ending theme in episode 51. It was used as the ending theme for the remainder of the series, except for the final episode which reuses the opening theme.
Localization[edit]
Funimation licensed the series for an English language broadcast in the United States. Their English dub of the series utilized their own musical score composed by Mark Menza and aired on Cartoon Network from November 7, 2003 to April 16, 2005. The company's home video release and original television broadcast both skipped the first 16 episodes of the series. Instead, Funimation created a composition episode entitled 'A Grand Problem,' which used scenes from the skipped episodes to summarize the story. The skipped episodes were later shown on Cartoon Network as 'The Lost Episodes' after the original broadcast concluded. Funimation's English dub began re-airing in the US on Nicktoons from January 16, 2012 to December 13, 2012, and rerun until January 2, 2015 (Due to Adult Swim having rights to air Dragon Ball Z Kai through their Toonami programming block.)[5]
AB Groupe (in association with Blue Water Studios) produced an alternate dub for Europe and Canada and was aired on YTV and Toonami UK, which divided the episodes into two seasons while the original Japanese music composed by Akihito Tokunaga is retained in the Blue Water English dub.[6][7] The AB Groupe Dub first ran in the UK from March 3, 2003 on CNX until August 17, 2003.

Reception[edit]
In 2010, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 producer Ryo Mito stated that 'GT is popular with fans overseas. In Japan, it's not as popular.'[51]
The English dub of Dragon Ball GT, produced by Funimation, received mixed-to-negative reviews. IGN called it 'downright repellent,' mentioning that the material and characters had lost their novelty and fun. They also criticized the GT character designs of Vegeta and Trunks as being 'goofy.'[52]Anime News Network (ANN) also gave negative comments about the anime, mentioning that the fights from the series were 'a very simple childish exercise' and that older fans will want to stick with other anime. The series' plot was also criticized for giving a formula that was already used in its predecessors.[53] Although, it did call it 'a fun ride when not taken very seriously.'[54]
