I'm not arguing your point about Super Saiyan tail colors, since I don't know, but I just wanted to say that I -hate- this argument. "LOL It's GT" I hate it!!!!! It is not a valid point or counter point.

EDIT: Also, just wanted to say that this is not a personal attack against you or anything. I'd say half or more of this board uses/have used this fallacy. And it needs to stop!
Agreed. Everyone uses it to try to win an arguement, when really, they're not adding anything to it.

I actually like GT. It was really good, but everyone dislikes it, and sometimes that rubs off onto me.
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

Well... sort of. His tail did in the Baby saga, but it didn't for the rest of the series. I didn't understand that at all. o_O

I think a lot of the hate for GT among western fans has its roots in those old fan communities where power level debates (seriously) were the name of the game, and everyone got their panties in a bunch because of "inconsistancies" like Super Saiyan Gohan.

GT's not nearly as plothole-ridden nor as boring as most people make it out to be. In fact, it kind of kicks ass. Plus, Giru. Come on. Fuckin' Giru.

The only time we see a golden tail is also the only time Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 with it.

So the tail only changes color in Super Saiyan 3. It was probably just a design change, but that works fine as an in-universe explanation.

And to keep this post on topic, I think there need to be more figures of Giru.

GT is tearing us apart! Can't you see that Cipher?!

I don't how this topic suddenly went from Vegeta's bulge, the color of SSJ pubes, to GT? Who derailed this thread so badly? Oh that's right, it was me! Let's see if I can bring things back on track.

I also think a lot of the hate comes from Toriyama having little to nothing to do with GT. Seriously, I've seen people say on forums that they disliked GT because it's "Non-Toriyama bullshit" to put it in their own words.

I disliked GT long before I knew it had nothing to do with the original author of Dragon Ball. Heck, at that time I wasn`t even aware of mangas.

This fall MG Figurerise Trunks and Vegeta!
Yay! I'm so happy.... elated, even. O_O I was praying they'd made a Trunks.
Although.. I wanted him in his CC Jacket, I'll settle for his badass saiyan armor.

And Vegeta looks great too.

Woah! They finally are moving on to other characters! And is that a Luffy one as well? Nice! :D

Though, why are there two Kaioken Goku's on that display?

I know! It's so exciting! I really want Trunks.
Lol, I want Luffy too. Haha.

And I'm not sure, both of them look the same.

I'm assuming they did that with the display figure so that, in case someone steals it, they will receive an imperfect figure.

Because if they all -are- like that, well that's a breaking point for a $50 toy for me. I'm paying that much it better be perfect.
