Was there Senzu Bean usage in GT?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

Or did it like... die out like in Future Trunk's timeline?

For reasons unknown Senzu Beans weren't used in GT. Mostly likely to keep the supporting cast from getting healed too quickly and taking away any of the glory that Goku was getting during the show.

Just trying to remember, did we see Karin/Yajirobe at all in GT? I think they briefly appeared, but I'm not quite sure.

We saw them for a small moment in GT when Goku was trying to get everyone to safety before the Earth blew up.

Fat Buu obviously ate all the Senzus between EoZ and GT while Karin was not looking.

Fat Buu could probably make all the senzu they will ever need, but man, no usage in all of GT? weird.

He made candy out of a rock in the final battle, so why not senzu?

I think that was anime only. I don't remember ever seeing the result of that antenna beam he shot at Goku.

...Obligatory joke aside, I never really noticed it, but huh...there really weren't any senzu used in GT. Then again, they kind of go in and out of focus as the series goes on anyway, and Korin seems to be growing less and less of them every time they come up. Maybe he just quit growing them all together (though at that point, what do he and Yajirobe eat up there?), it's not like they don't have Dende around for healing now too.

So I'm going to stick to my theory of "the Senzu plant died out about the same time in all timelines" then. 8)

Well, I would have stuck to it regardless of what GT said, but this just makes it even more consistent. 8) 8)

Except the DBO timeline, because Yajirobe eventually gets his shit together and starts a full pot senzu farm.

Well, uh... maybe without that, they would have died! Maybe Yajirobe had to go down the tower because the conditions weren't good enough to keep the plant alive.

Maybe it is the Androids fault the Senzu plant died out. I mean it is still alive in the Boo saga. I find it hard to believe that it died in GT. They probably just forgot about it like Toriyama forgot about the Kaioken.

Senzus seem to have been replaced with "channel ki in someone's general direction long enough and they're perfectly healed!".

...which I hate.

Well, it wasn't that Goku was injured but rather he had used up all his Ki. I think it is perfectly fine to channel your Ki into someone else if they're running on empty. They did it in the Namek arc with Piccolo.
