DBGT TV Special Opinion/Question

[PrinceVegetto]

What did you think of the T.V. special A Hero's Legacy? I personally thought it was great, and better executed than GT. Also, I'm confused about the ending. How did Puck survive?

[TheGmGoken]

Puck lived because either Shenlong was feeling nice that day or...just because he's a secret relative to Satan Mark.

The plot of Hero Legacy was great. Better than most of GT. Should of been what GT was in the first place or the next arc after Bebi.

[Rukura]

It makes me fall a sleep, but part of it's the motion blur. With that said, I thought it was okay but nothing great. It also doesn't help with the confusion of what happens to Goku in the final episodes. Like, at all.

I've always wished that Toei would remake GT and not pull a JJ Abrams with the ending.

Likewise, we got the GT Revised thread and Devil Corpse's Redux project that make some awesome changes to GT and make it sound even better than Z in some respects.

A Hero's Legacy was made AFTER the Bebi Arc not after Shenlong Arc. So Goku haven't left yet

[Marco Polo]

It should have been the first episode of GT.

[TheGmGoken]

It should have been the first episode of GT.

But then we would have no idea about Pan's character

[DBZ Mick]

I watch it as part of the epilogue of the Evil Dragon arc. I quite enjoy it, maybe as not as much as the Evil Dragon arc or maybe the Bebi arc but it fits into the conclusion rather nicely.

That's part of the reason why the ending worked so well though. I like that the ending is up for interpretation.

You can't write about something that happened 100 years after the finale without knowing what the finale is. When it was animated and shown is separate from that point.

True, and I will admit to liking it. But it always feels like it was open-ended for the sake of being open-ended because they couldn't come up with a better ending. Maybe that's why we're always trying to crack it, in the hope that there's something better underneath xp

What I'm saying is. Goku didn't fly away with Shenlong when this film was made. Unless they always have it planned out then Goku most likely just died.

[Marco Polo]

We saw her at the end of DB(Z) and she was a much better character there than in all of GT.

[dodge2461]

The best part of GT. Other than that major plothole you mentioned(Seriously, are we supposed to believe that Goku Jr. somehow just made the wish because he believed hard enough?), it's really good. If GT was about Goku Jr. coming of age and going on new adventures like this movie does, GT may have lasted more than 64 episodes. I would recommend this to any fan of DB, even if they don't like GT to begin with.

[CODii]

To be honest I was terribly bored both times I've watched it. It is short so maybe I'll give it a third chance, but I won't be expecting much. No matter how many times I watch it though I am certain I will always think Goku Jr.'s Super Saiyan transformation is TERRIBLE.

[Dolciano]

Enjoyed watching how Goku Jr. grew as a character. Couple of things that didn't make sense, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

It's possible that Puck hang unto the ledge and Pan spotted him while she was in the police vehicle.

[Blade]

It also doesn't help with the confusion of what happens to Goku in the final episodes. Like, at all.

The very fact that he is able to show up over a hundred years in the future as an adult in such an enigmatic way (without a halo) serves to suggest that he didn't die, but his departure with Shenron has elevated him to some magical form of existence.

I mean, I accept that the special doesn't provide any specific explanations, but it's at least consistent with the series ending - which is more than you can say for most things in GT.

It is, I can't believe any Saiyans ever managed to NOT go Super Saiyan.

This. One of my favorite scenes in the franchise is in this special (When Goku Jr. Meets Goku), but I've only seen that scene and the first half of the special. Every time I try to watch, I fall asleep by the time Jr. And Puck enter the forest. :p

[kei17]

The only good thing about the special is that it has stereo audio on the GT DBox.

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

The one thing that always bothered me about the TV special is that Goku Jr. is Pan's great-great grandson. Where the hell did 3 generations go? It's a lot easier to accept that Goku Jr is Goku's great-great grandson and thus Pan's grandson, like it says in the dub I think, where there's only one generation missing. But three? Super Saiyan logic has always been inconsistent and the ending is ambiguous on purpose. Goku's just kind of everywhere. But I can't overlook such a huge commonsense plot point that doesn't really get explained.

[DBZAOTA482]

I thought it was a pretty good and honest special. It felt like the writers actually put forth effort into it unlike with GT (Goku Time).
