In my mind GT is cannon

[treepan0]

okay because I have my hands on the physical copy now (my streaming service only had the sub), and I've been doing some stuff on the side I've learned some interesting stuff about GT. under read more cause there's a bit to ramble about here.

Okay so immediately the first thing I find interesting is the run time:

your average Japanese season for a show is 12 episodes, for GT this is interesting because it has 64 episodes and a movie; which for those wondering that's five seasons with 4 episodes barely scraping over a sixth, that's fairly successful for a studio written anime mind you.

most have one or two seasons they rarely exceed three or even four, so that means GT was somewhat successful in japan. (not surprising just interesting, I know the average length thanks to the many one or two season series I watched back in the day.)

an interesting part from the dub however is how some characters are written to be worse than in the sub, the best example is Pan and Giru as Pan's made far more annoying, and Giru sounds like a muppet for some reason.

moving onto the sagas things get interesting:

the Black star dragon ball saga is 16 episodes, sharing it's last with the Bebī saga most of these episodes are infamous for being episodic and repetitive in nature. there's not much to say about this saga that has not been said.

the Bebī saga is almost half the series with 24 episodes, that's two japanese seasons alone, spanning from episode 16-40 you can tell they got a little ambitious here, no wonder he's the most iconic of the GT villains.

It's pretty obvious General Rild is inspired by the meta Coolers in Return of Cooler, his fight just makes it more obvious; funny enough they share the same dub voice and I will never unhear that.

other details I already noticed in the Japanese version of this saga include:

Bebī is affected by possessing Vegeta on a psychological level at times, often not even realizing it himself in moments, the most obvious sign coming from his interactions with the infected Bulma vs. other infected people in this arc.

finding that scene where he eats the candified Majuub strangely adorable. and the fact this main antagonist shares a voice actor with an obscure sonic character in the sub.

moving on the super 17 saga spans 7 episodes, that's less than a season. not much to say here either, it is kinda funny on the number coincidence.

finally the remaining episodes are the shadow dragon saga, with 6 episodes therefore making it the shortest saga in GT, and half of your average season.

drawing poll: Dragon Ball edition (redesign mix)

[binding-vow]

I call this team shame because if you play somewhat decent it's hard to lose everyone beside baby is broken. I won 1/4 of my matches by disconnection at the VS screen, and if it's not at vs screen...
