Would Dragon Ball Super borrow elements from GT?

[successoroffate]

I wonder if this would be the perfect time to borrow some major ideas or plots from GT into canon? The most important one would be about "The Misuse of the Dragonballs."This plot began on DBZ by either Kaiosama or the Supreme Kai (Can't recall). The warnings about what could happen if you alter the normal flow of nature too much manifested itself in GT. I would love if they decided to make the Shadow Dragon Saga canon alonside SSJ 4. If I see the Dragonballs cracking at the end of an episode of Super, I would die from joy.


Thoughts?

How can Toriyama borrow elements from something he never watched?

But he has watched GT. He stated in interviews that he was looking forward to watching GT when it was about to air. He's stated he LIKED GT.

Considering GT was enough to at least make him consider continuing the manga with GT's story he should very well know enough of it/have known and seen once enough of it. Even when he said, he had absolutely no intention to do so. But at least it was enough for him to mention it by using that new material that GT brought in.

As many people can agree, there were lots of good things in GT that just weren't executed correctly. Now, I'm not saying that Super should consist of GT with better execution, but I'd like to see the roots of GT taken and then deviated completely away from how things turned out in GT. It'd also be nice to see something completely new.

I would love for the Baby & Shadow Dragon stuff to get brought in, loved those ideas and their good but not great execution in GT.

[Lord Beerus]

The only elements I would want Dragon Ball Super to borrow from GT is the Shadow Dragons. That's it.

Why borrow the same elements from the past when you can do and new original ideas?

[Dyno]

If ever there is a place to take some elements borrowed are from Dragon Ball Online, considering that game is not as popular as it seems. Not even Towa and Mira were acknowledge at first when they were announced in Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

Just copy the ending of Eoz and EoGT. I want a more fulfilling ending. I want goku not to abandon his family and loved ones just cause he wants to train someone. Make it more meaning full. I love an ending of an old old goku and vegeta reminiscing about the old days. And the two cant power up any more and they do one more duel. So it will be very familiar to their first battle. Then years later we see goku and vegeta are now immortalized protecting the multiverse from new and powerful threats.

I'm the same, it is the one part of the series that i thought was a really good idea and the perfect way to finish the Dragon Ball story.

I don't get why people want to rehash things over again? If they borrow ideas from GT then they are just rehashing the same thing over again. Sometimes I feel like fans don't want to see new things and just want repeats of the past.

Cause in all honesty, not everything Toriyama has been doing is 'fresh and new' he rehashes things too. GT also had some interesting elements to it that I'd like to see him play around with, just because someone uses elements from something doesn't mean they can't put their own spin on it.

I doubt he wil. He pretty much wants to put GT behind him and from what I read; he doesnt seem to ever reference on anything he himself didn't thoroughly write. (excluding Tarble). Bebi doesnt work anymore because tails aren't in focus anymore; and there would be no reason for him to want to go Oozaru without seeing Goku get strength from it. An entire new Tuffle would have to be made for them to redo the arc, bout some Super Tuffle God or whatever that wanted to beat the "Bad" Sayians but lost to his own timelimit...?

Super #17 doesnt work anymore because there would be no way for him to meet God tier from just human and cybernetics. But then again, Dr. Gero created #16 from scratch and much much stronger than Freeza... but I cant see it. Its a straw grasp.

Though I would like to see God versions of the Shadow Dragons rebooted. Omega Shenron should have been a god to me... but again the parallel would just seem too weird with GT already doing it.

For the sake of creative freedom, Toriyama shouldnt bother trying to readapt it if he was trying to overwrite it in the first place. If anything this should explore the other dimensions of Gods and put the nail on GT. Though wether hes going to rehash anything for Super is my biggest concern.

While I wouldn't mind a 'GT redo', I just don't see it ever happening outside of fan stuff, such as Kaboom's fanfic. It's just this side thing now at this point that, outside of video games, is probably not going to be re-visited too much.

True that he has rehash things before but they are rather minor when you compare to Toei with GT and DBZ Movie 1-13. In my opinion Toriyama handles story telling and characters better then Toei does. That's why Vegeta, Freeza, Cell and Buu have more personality, depth and more memorable compare to characters like Bojack, Super Yi Xing Long, Bebi, Super 17, Broli, Coola and several others if you ask me. Even Beerus felt fresh compare to the past movie villains since he had a original backstory and he had a good personality to him since he has a fun sense of humor. I'm not saying everything from Toriyama is amazing but critically speaking, he's better then the anime staff when it comes to handling Dragon Ball.

I wouldn't mind they reusing Online's concept of the final battle between Goku and Vegeta as an ending to the series... kinda like Yu-Gi-Oh!, thus ending the tale of the monkey boy.

[Duo]

I really don't see it happening. Originality is far more interesting.

[Basaku]

Definitely SSJ4 design. Doesn't have to be next step from SSJ3, could as well be totally separate Super Ozaru line but the design is great and it fits the lore prefectly of higher Siyan transformation drawing from Ozaru powers in a hybrid form. Miles ahead in every sense from SSG or SSGSS.

Shadow Dragons were quite cool too, as well as the consequence for overusing the Dragon Balls.

Frieza and Cell barely have any personality, and Kid Buu has none. In my opinion Baby is easily the best villain in terms of personality out of the whole franchise, who had his own motive and backstory. While all others killed and destroyed for the sake of it. Then again I never found DB/DBZ villains being interesting, for me they all seem pretty generic. I'd dare to say that Broly has more personality and backstory than most of them.

Beerus is pretty much the only villain who I find to be interesting, besides guys like Vegeta, Piccolo and Androids 17/18.

What about rehashing things. Right here



He reused Buu's design for this guy.



Looks like Trunks.



Looks like Trunks as well.
