A sequel to GT, should it happen?

[Xeztin]

We’ve literally gone off the wall in the past few years bringing movie villiains into the main continuity and everything about Super DB Heroes is off the wall as well. We’ve almost got every what if fusion, arc, character, fan serviced moment that fans have asked for over the past few decades. Literally, almost everything even bringing back Trunks and an evil Goku not to mention Broly. But~ there is one. One that has been semi-ignored and has been bothering me which is Dragon Ball GT. They haven’t done much with it... Super Heroes is the only media thats trying to use it and while I appreciate that I’m very confused as why they haven’t tried to expand upon it or any other company for that matter. GT had its flaws as does all media but I’m very much intrigued to what an official sequel would look like. It doesn’t have to be a manga or anime, even an arc surpassing SSJ4 in the game would be enough. Why haven’t they tried to expand upon GT and SSJ4 in Heroes? They are coming out with SSJ4 Vegito, they can’t do much more other than give that to the remaining. I’m confused as why they haven’t tried a unique form beyond that or centered an arc around it. Also, I’d love to see a GT sequel one day, penned by Toyo or animated as well. What do you guys think? Is it too far out or is anything possible? I think the SDBH manga is our best bet in the current arc of Xeno Goku surpassing SSJ4.

I feel like that ship has long sailed. While Heroes is still doing stuff for GT, I think doing a sequel to GT would be a bad move. Seeing how many people dislike GT, most people will probably skip out on it. They will probably go beyond DBZ and pretend GT never happened.

Well technically the GT special is the last 'episode' of GT and besides Pan all of the main characters have died. Yes, we have Goku and Vegeta jr but to build a franchise around those two seems silly.

[Robo4900]

If they can get someone who's willing and excited to tell the story, then yes, I don't see why not. Could be a fun time.

[Cipher]

We got one.

It was Victory Mission.

It's a shame it went unfinished, because I think it has one of the best spins on a post-GT continuation I've seen (if not the best, because the standard take is imagining something set nearly immediately after the original series that undoes its themes to drag the Dragon Balls and Goku back, while Toyotaro rolls with its ending and leverages the game promotion to tell a next-generation story about basically normal people trying to live up to the past).

It's way better than it has any right to be and was the most surprisingly pleasant new Dragon Ball anything I encountered in 2018. The ship has probably sailed on this too, but I'd have loved to have seen some sort of animated version that un-generics the script a bit, fleshes it out slightly, and caps it off.

Besides SS4 the DBGT brand isn't profitable. DBS and SBDH are. Simple as that. Making a sequel to a failed show would be foolish for toei at this point especially when they're focusing the majority of their time and resources on DBS.

[ABED]

I don't know if Super or GT is better, but to be fair to GT, it was a victim of timing. It came at the tail end of a non-stop decade long run. The fans were burned out. I don't think it should happen. It's not only confusing given everything that's happened since, but GT ended on a very definitive note.

That's nonsense. There are even many people who want a GT remake or a GT Super Edition so there would also not be any problem for a GT sequel. There are enough people that appreciated GT more once Super came out, a lot of them gace off hyperbolic statements but still it very much shows that people are willing to admit that there is a lot they like about what they considered to not be that good. And that goes beyond a monkey man.

[sunsetshimmer]

Yes and no.

If sequel would just make Goku return it would ruin amazing ending GT had so such sequel can't have Goku in it at all or maybe only in form of ghost like "A Hero's Legacy", last EP or mysterious help like Gohan got against Bojack or Broly.
It would be cool to see sequel about Pan and Uub being main heroes but seeing how even such popular character as Gohan can't become main character this simply won't work. You can't have DB without Goku doing the job. You just can't. It will never work. Even Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. wouldn't work unless they would be total ripoffs of Goku and Vegeta which is pointless and dumb. I wouldn't personally care for lack of Goku and Vegeta, but most people probably would.

I guess it would be the best if GT got sequel in form of mini series, special episode or OVA.
Perhaps Pan could reach SSJ there which would make many people happy.

Full sequel with Goku being main hero would ruin everything GT worked for.

True, true. I do love Victory Mission. I just wish Viz had a full English release of it... Or that it had at least been scanlated in full...

It's a really neat thing. I'd love to see more of it.

[8000 Saiyan]

Not interested. I hated GT and probably would have hated a sequel even more.

Just because some internet randoms like certain aspects of GT other than SS4 doesn't mean toei/toriyama see it that way. And if there really was as much fan demand around the world, especially in Japan, for GT storylines/ideas to be adapted into Super I'm sure they would've done it by now. DBS is primarily a fan service show (not a bad thing to me) so if the GT fans really wanted GT, toriyama and toei would've given the GT fans what they want by now. Just look at Broly. He is a super popular character in the west and Japan so they not only gave him his own movie but a universe 6 counterpart in Kale. Basically, Broly as a single character is more profitable than GT is as a whole series which shows just how irrelevant GT is at this point in the DB franchise.

Broly as a single character is more profitable than GT is as a whole series which shows just how irrelevant GT is at this point in the DB franchise.

He is also more profitable than Super except for movie he appears in. Just saying.
Adding GT content into Super or making it counterparts is pointless because GT takes place after Super.
And movies were far less relevant than GT so even if they included Tuffles into Super, they wouldn't bring "canon" Baby into it because it's character associated with important saga and SSJ4 transformation. Broly is just random villain. Very popular but completely irrelevant in story. Retconning him is completely harmless.

[Lord Beerus]

Super could end up vearing into GT territory, not just in it's placement of the timeline, but with GT's ideas in itself. So I don't think the idea of GT sequel is dead just yet. I mean, if Broly can get the "Continuity Reboot", anything can fucking happen.

Now should I think a GT sequel can happen? Honestly, anything that can provide a intriguing take on an ongoing Dragon Ball story without Goku in the main picture is fine by me.

[GT_Goten10]

Nah GT for me is the perfect ending series for DragonBall

[Kunzait_83]

As neat as I think a few of Super's main ideas and concepts are on paper (Multiverse, Gods of Destruction, a rogue Kaioshin, God Ki, a free for all battle royal tournament, etc.) overall I still maintain that GT should've remained the end of the series. So no. Definitely no GT sequel. GT's ending was a perfect enough final note to end the whole thing off on as it was. Just let this current revival finish running its course and then lets leave the series alone for good and move on.

lol GT irrelevant? Yes it’s the most hated series but this dosen‘t make GT irrelevant I see people Talking every day about GT on Twitter,Kanzenshuu,YouTube,Reddit...I see Youtubers still making GT videos I see DB heroes using SSJ4,Golden Oozaru&Shadow Dragons&as a GT Fan i don’t want anything GT related to be in super especially when super takes place before GT

Well technically the GT special is the last 'episode' of GT and besides Pan all of the main characters have died. Yes, we have Goku and Vegeta jr but to build a franchise around those two seems silly.

I've read a fanmanga called Dragon Ball Centuries who started on the principle to use Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr as main character with some original new others character too.

Fanmanga on hiatus atm but if you are curious

As for a sequel to GT mmmmmm that can be possible I guess but either you get ride of the GT 100 Years after and use our main cast or you use Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr as new protagonist. the later seems more likely first you can use new Seiyu to voice those youngs lads because the current cast start to be old (let's be honest) second I think with the fanmanga of Toyotaro and Dragon Ball Online you can use some elements for create something fresh.

To be honest I always have in mind that Toei, Shueisha, Bandai Namco and why not Sunrise could use Dragon Ball to create a overall wide lore. Dragon Ball GT being part of one Keeping the GT Lore as itself and expand it enhance it and make it better with why not few retcon just to be sure GT get out better than ever before.

[Cipher]

I am so utterly against the idea of bringing Goku and Vegeta Jr. back as protagonists it's ridiculous. That was one of the reasons Victory Mission really worked for me in spite of it being a promotional series (though there are times it barely seems to care about that). To the extent that a GT sequel is worth exploring, it's on the terms of a fairly limited run, showing that in the aftermath of the series, regular, ordinary people really are capable of channeling the spirit of Goku and co. without basically being Goku and co. Sort of a happy coda to GT's ending leaving things in question, but without keeping things so tightly and lazily tied to the main lore.

No (usable) Dragon Balls, no Goku. Those are the terms.

[Mister_Popo]

A full anime-sequel, that's not going to happen. I don't think GT-fans however are that badly 'served' within the franchise. Its concepts live on in videogames, DB Heroes anime and manga, other merchandise and some of them could even be re-adapted into the main continuity one day as fanservice.
