Dragon Ball GT/YMMV

• And the Fandom Rejoiced: GT is being re-aired on Nicktoons starting in January 2012.
• Archive Panic: Combined with the other two shows, there's 508 episodes. Even though they are, on average, 20 minutes long, that's still 254 hour long shows (really about 40 minutes long). That's longer than all 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
• Complete Monster: Frieza and Cell aside (yes, they actually appear in this series), the character most deserving of this trope is Syn Shenron/Omega Shenron. To put it simply, he was so evil, depraved, and monsterous, that the sheer amount disgusted Goku enough to the point that, the instant his Universal Spirit Bomb was completed, he had absolutely no hesitations in regards to hitting Omega Shenron with it and destroying him once and for all, not even in regards to Omega Shenron essentially trying to beg for mercy.
  • He stabs his own guy Nuova Shenron in the back as his introduction. He eats Dragon Balls for ultimate power. His negative energy is rotting the very core of the Earth and threatens to permeate and destroy the universe itself. Keep in mind that Goku has seen five true villainous Big Bads who could never repent by now, and of course he'll find Omega Shenron irrevocably evil.
• Contested Sequel: For many Dragon Ball's fans.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Goku going Golden Oozaru Super Saiyan once he finally manages to grow his tail back, and has a rematch with Baby possessed Vegeta.
  • The Golden Ape transformation alone totally makes up for GT's existance.
  • When Goku comes out of the crater holding a spirit bomb.
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Piccolo's death scene.
  • Goku and Krillin's conversation in the last episode, even more of a Heartwarming moment with the Japanese music imo.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Nuova Shenron. Fan demand even got him added to Budokai Tenkaichi 3. (His alternate outfit uses the colour scheme of his brother, Eis.)
• God Mode Sue: Son Goku, easily. He defeats pretty much every Monster of the Week. He defeats all three of the Big Bads. In fact, the last two Big Bads were destroyed by him after he was forcibly powered down to his base form, including one who arguably shouldn't have died as a Big Bad.
• Memetic Badass: The fact that an elderly Krillin was able to land a hit on Goku during their friendly fight at the end of Dragonball GT (Goku was obviously not fighting at full power) has prompted a meme that Old Man Krillin is the biggest Badass ever who could defeat anyone with ease.
• Recycled Script: The Super 17 saga and the villains escaping from hell was literally a retake on the Dragon Ball Z movie Fusion Reborn.
• Scapegoat Creator: In an odd reversal, many detractors of the series point to Akira Toriyama's lack of involvement in the show's creative process. In reality, he was involved to a degree (he named the series, acted as a consultant for plot ideas, and designed the aged characters. So, yes, Akira Toriyama was the one who gave Vegeta a flat-top and mustache), and going further than that, he's stated several times he's actually a big fan of the series. He even doodled a sketch of Super Saiyan 4 Goku on the side of his blurb for the GT Dragon Box. Think about that for a second: the creator of Dragonball drew fanart of someone else's transformation made for one of his characters.
• The Scrappy: Pan and Giru.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Old lady Pan from episode 64 and the TV special, due to having out-grown her whininess.
• Soundtrack Dissonance: Quite a few of the songs used in DBGT's soundtrack, including the OP and Ending songs, are pretty blatantly romantic in nature. While Goku and Pan do love each other very much, its probably not even remotely in that way, and it doesn't really fit any part of the series at that. They are still very good songs, nonetheless.
• Tear Jerker: The last episode.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: They spent over a year on this series and never had Pan go Super-Saiyan (at least not in an unambiguous way).
• Villain Decay: Freeza and Cell in the Super 17 arc. Could perhaps overlap with Villain Forgot to Level Grind, but Goku had been shrunken to child size and didn't even bother using his Super Mode.
  • In the Latin American dub, they claimed they had grinded, but it was just not enough.
• What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Funi somehow managed to get Peter Mayhew, Chewbacca, into voicing for the movie.
