DragonBall GT: Black-Star Dragonball Saga

Dragonball GT stands for Dragonball Grand Tour. The time setting is 10 year after the end of Dragonball Z. The story begins with Goku training Uub up top of Kami’s Lookout. While training The Evil Emperor Pilaf has located the mysterious Black Star Dragonball’s! Goku as always tries to stop him, take in mind some how Emperor Pilaf finds his way to the Lookout and finds the black star Dragonball’s Anyway, while Emperor Pilaf summons the dragon, in which Goku has no idea this has happen, and while talking to Emperor Pilaf, he gets wished back until a 5 year old kid. Now Goku must find the Dragonball’s with in one year or the Earth will blow up. No big deal right? This time, the Dragonball’s are all over the universe.

History of the Black Star Dragonball’s: Sometime before Dragonball starts (centuries in fact) The unknown namek comes to Earth, while there he tries to be come Kami (God of Earth). Deep with inside him he has a reason to create Dragonball’s (as namek’s have this power) So he does, the result are the black star Dragonball’s These balls where very powerful, when he was training to be the next kami, the kami before him told him before he can become kami he must get rid of his evil self. Doing so the unknown Namek, splits into King Piccolo and Kami. King Piccolo is seal up, and Kami takes the Dragonball’s (which are now inactive and don’t work) to a safe place and hides them. He then created a new set which where as powerful. Later, which the evil Cell was on Earth, Piccolo (the rebirth of King Piccolo) Refuses with Kami to form the the unknown namek once again, doing so reactivate the black star dragonball’s. Then years later in GT, Emperor Pilaf finds them and uses them.

Ok so now you have an idea on where these Dragonball’s came from, and why they are so powerful. So the story begins with Goku, Trunks and Pan traveling around finding these Dragonball’s In classic dragonball fasion, the basic elements of the series are much like the first one. Not much fighting takes place in the beginning. Goku, Trunks and Pan find themselves on planet Amiga. Which is rules by the Don Kea. On this planet everything is rented out. While there they lose the Dragon Radar which a robot eats. After a quick fight with Don Kea’s bodyguard Ledgic, they escape however they are now fugitives of planet Amiga.

Now we see the first real fight of the series. Goku ends up fighting Ledgic, however he is no match for Goku. Taken in mind that Goku is only a 5 year kid here, but he kept his power. That’s one strong little guy. Also as for plot holes go, if you watch Dragonball you will remember that Goku is noted to be 11 years old in the beginning. However in GT he is only 5 yet taller then when he was 13. Makes no sense. Just wanted to point that out. OK after Kedigc gets his butt kick from one end to the other, Do Kea stops his renting system. The robot ends up merging with the radar so they take him along. They name the Robot Guru.

After a few dragonball hunts in 3 episodes that are well a real waste of time as nothing really happens other then anything crazy. Near a point one of the Dragonball’s are stolen and Goku and the gang end down to planet Beelay home of the dangerous Doma. Goku ends up battle Doma, which he beats (Go figure). Don Para returns with his brother and they do some stupid dance attack, which does nothing more then make other dance. In which Goku and Trunks beat them. While this went on Pan and Guru are on Paras’ Ship which ends up going to planet Lude. Which Pan heads to Mutchy-Motchy’s temple, she is turn into a doll. When Goku and Trunks arrive, they kick Mutchy-Motchy’s butt.

Now here is where things get pointless. Mutchy-Motchy does some transformation which turns his whip into the Head Priest. While the battle goes on, the founder of the Lude cult shows up, his name is Doltucky. In the middle of the fight, he take Pan (who’s a doll) and uses it to bring the doll-powered robot Lude to life. Trunks kills Mutchy.

Now some people will take out of the GT this was the best fight. Well I would have to disagree with that. As most of this is just pointless. Lude fight Goku and Trunks, while this is going on someone by the name Dr. Myuu tells Doltucky to sacrifice Pan to Lude in order to give him more power. He refuses to do it, then he’s turn into a doll and Lude absorbs them both. Now that Lude is at his full power (Folks please taken in mind that Goku and Trunks haven’t even gone past Super Saiyan at this point. Taken how Trunks may not be able to go SS2, Goku and become Super Saiyan 3 has he shows later in the series as a kid, so they are just playing with him.) Trunks and Goku destroy Lude’s heart which releases the dolls. They are return to normal and they get the dragonball.

After that all happens, Pan ends up running away due to Trunks making remarks at her about how Goten would have been a better replacement for Pan on the trip. Doltucky is killed by one of Myuu’s henchman, Rirduo. He has been sent to capture Goku. While on the desert Planet, Guru finds Pan and they find another Dragonball. At this time, They desided to take Guru to his Home World of Planet-M2.

Now as far as the series goes, this would mark the end of the black-star dragonball saga. At episode 15 now, which is short and as you can see nothing happens other then setting them up for the next saga which I think wasn’t done right. The Baby Saga was by far the best saga as it goes to the idea behind it. Here is my official final thought of the saga.

Which the saga starts off a little strong its crazy turn to a Dragonball style show is to much for fans who where wanting to see more action then even Dragonball Z had. While there was some funny points, and a few things that where really good. The idea of the Dragonball’s was good. Trust me it was added in, the back story of them was added in and never is seen or even talked about in Dragonball and DBZ. The fights are lame, which we don’t know this at first, but later Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 while a kid, so the fights in this saga where just stupid as Goku, even Trunks could have taken care of them with little problem.
