Re: Which series had a more natural transition? Super or GT
It wasn't that bad actually, they were smart enough not to depower him or make him act like a kid. He just looked like a kid. I didn't see the big deal considering his base form and SSJ1 form were just as irrelevant then as they are now. Also they did have the sense to leave him an adult as a SS4, which he fought in the most after he got it. So it wasn't that bad, him being an adult in his base form but acting as oblivious and ignorant as he is in Super, really isn't the continuation of his character I want.Kuririn Fan wrote:That's easily the worst decision GT team made.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

I didn't like it, everything GT did was bad and weird and just didn't felt right and Dragon Ball.

Re: Which series had a more natural transition? Super or GT
Oh please. For all GT's flaws, surely you can't say Super is immaculate. Obviously it's natural to have your own preferences, but Super isn't exactly the gospel truth. Instead of trawling every GT thread talking smack, wander over to the Super board and say something positive for once instead.Kuririn Fan wrote: I didn't like it, everything GT did was bad and weird and just didn't felt right and Dragon Ball.

I'm not partial to the Great Saiyaman arc, but I don't constantly berate it's inconsistencies to other fans, let alone just drop casual blanket statements like "The entire thing was bad!"

He's pale in the manga, as well, but i think his "official" skin color is yellow (not the actual yellow, but yellow associated with the Asian race).Captain Strawberry wrote:in the anime, in Toriyama's artwork.

Re: Which series had a more natural transition? Super or GT
Gohan is pale. Goku has tended to be more tanned in colored artwork. Which makes sense seeing as he grew up outdoors and stuff.

Re: Which series had a more natural transition? Super or GT
Ok, guys, you got me, i am defeated, Goku has a tan, but GT made him tanner, lol.
Anyway, yeah, Super is definitely a more natural transition, all the world building and lore and stuff, while GT seems so small and irrelevant...

That's true, I've never really paid attention to that. Super Saiyan 4's all kinds of weird though.

Definitely a badass design though, can't argue with that. Even i can say something positive about GTZephyr wrote:That's true, I've never really paid attention to that. Super Saiyan 4's all kinds of weird though.

Re: Which series had a more natural transition? Super or GT
Yeah, 4's probably my favorite Saiyan form, with 3 right behind it. It makes Goku look like a true monkey king.

Re: Which series had a more natural transition? Super or GT
Both Gt and super made Goku tan, neither time was it good IMO, and both times they gave goku a weird shine effect like everyone else, neither time it was good. both times gt did it better, but it was still a downgrade from Z. gt is the official continuation to Z, super's the official continuation to either the manga or kai, or both depending on how you view it. it matches more with kia though.
Toei's canon is ball-z-gt so gt naturally fits with it, you cant really call super a continuation to Z or even fit with it as it's not meant to, it outright ignores the filler, which to Z(the anime) is canonical.
Super is meant to either fit with the manga or Kai, as it acknowledges things the manga doesn't have, the kai approved filler. I think its best to say the 2 films fit with the manga and super and its version of the 2 films match super.

Re: Which series had a more natural transition? Super or GT
To be fair, I don't really consider Dragonball Super to have had started until the Champa Arc. It's quite obvious they retold BoG and RoF in DBS because the show debuted on July 5, 2015 just a week after Dragonball Kai's Buu saga ended on June 28, 2015, so they wanted to keep that momentum going until original content could be aired but also to show what exactly happened for those who didn't watch the two movies. So honestly to me the show has just begun and is 13 episodes in.
