In between the end of GT and A Hero's Legacy.
I'm guessing it was never explained?

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Maybe the writer wised-up and realized he was nothing more than an extremely obnoxious tool?

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Re: What happened to Giru?
He is not the only one that wasn't mentioned. What about Muten-Roshi, #18, #17? They were immortals.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

There's just always someone missing in dragonball movies. Maybe he went back to his home planet?

Re: What happened to Giru?
The Androids, yes. Muten Roushi, that wasn't confirmed. In the Piccolo Daimaou arc, he said that there actually was no "immortality phoenix", and even though he's 300+ years old, he could still die of natural causes. Just look at the Great Elder, or the God of Earth, who mentioned back in the Saiyan arc that he didn't know whether or not he'd die in the following year due to Piccolo being killed by Nappa, or that his own lifespan happened to end around that time.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:What about Muten-Roshi, #18, #17?

But this is no different to Piccolo disappearing from the DBZ Movies past #9. In-universe, however, I guess they just weren't important or relevant enough to the plot. With Kuririn dead, #18 probably broke off all contact with the super-warriors, because likely the only reason she even hung out with them was because of Kuririn. And #17 never had any real contact with them post-Cell (excluding the Super #17 arc, when he was corrupted and fought them as a villain).

Re: What happened to Giru?
He never said anything about the Immortal Phoenix not being real, he was supposed to have drunk the Fountain of Youth, but he said that it never existed. He was 360 years old by the end of GT, and he was alive even in DBO, and he was 570 years old, so he should be 460 years old during the GT Special. Then again, it's possible that his parents where supernatural beings, since his sister is over 500 years-old during the manga, and was still alive in DBO too, so he may just not be immortal. Maybe in GT timeline, he was "playing his game" while reading his magazines, and bleed to death from his nose.Piccolo Daimao wrote:Muten Roushi, that wasn't confirmed.

Re: What happened to Giru?
Oh yeah, I meant the fountain of youth; I just got it mixed up with the immortality phoenix. But he still later said that it never existed, therefore it's more likely that the reason he's so old while still retaining the ability to move around freely without illnesses or anything, is because of his intense training pushing him beyond superhuman level or whatever. You know what I mean anyway.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:He never said anything about the Immortal Phoenix not being real, he was supposed to have drunk the Fountain of Youth, but he said that it never existed.

DBO's got nothing to do with GT; they follow seperate continuities. As in, to unintentionally use a potentially inflammatory term that can best describe what I'm trying to say, they're not canon to each other. If the GT special was set 100 years after GT itself, why couldn't he have died due to old age or some illness (Gokuu, a Super Saiyan, almost died of heart disease)? Like I said, 500-year-old Dragon-type Namekian martial artist God was unsure whether or not the circumstances of his death would be Piccolo being killed by the Saiyans or his own lifespan running out. Same with the over 500-year-old Great Elder of Namek.

He probably broke down the day after his warranty expired and nobody cared to fix him.

What probably happend was that Pan took Giru to prom and some jealous dude threw fruit punch at Giru. Than he short-circuited and EXPLODED!

Re: What happened to Giru?
Maybe Giru was left at Capsule Corporations. I don't know. Just a thought.
(Fanfiction link coming soon.)

Very appropriate.
