Dragon Ball Super Completely Erases GT From Continuity

Dragon Ball Super Completely Erases GT From Continuity

The storyline of Dragon Ball Super takes place immediately following Dragon Ball Z, the only problem is so does the storyline of Dragon Ball GT

Dragon Ball Super Completely Erases GT From Continuity

The continuity of the expanded Dragon Ball Universe has gotten a bit muddled with the continuation of the storyline beyond Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. The latest tale in the ever growing Dragon Ball mythos is Dragon Ball Super, a story that begins immediately after the conclusion of Dragon Ball Z. The only problem is, the previous Dragon Ball storyline also began after Dragon Ball Z was Dragon Ball GT. The inconsistency leads one to the question: does Dragon Ball Super erase GT from continuity?

At the beginning of Dragon Ball Super by Akira Toriyama, fans are immediately made aware of the placement of the series within Dragon Ball continuity which was immediately after Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball GT was not written by Akira Toriyama, was produced by Toei Animation and not adapted from any manga. GT also happens after the events of Dragon Ball Z with a hard reset of the characters’ stories, one of which turned Goku back into a child.

The short answer to the posed question is yes, Dragon Ball Super eliminates GT from continuity for a number of reasons. The first and most important is that Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, had nothing to do with the series. While Toriyama’s name on a Dragon Ball product doesn’t necessarily mean that story is canon, (a prime example being the gag manga Neko Majin Z), the creator does have the final say as to what is canon. Another inconsistency is the power level the characters within the story achieve, being vastly different between GT and Super.

Dragon Ball Super Completely Erases GT From Continuity

The biggest in-story difference between GT and Super is the Super Saiyan level Goku and Vegeta are able to achieve in the respective series that aren’t seen in the other. In Dragon Ball GT, Goku and Vegeta reach Super Saiyan 4, a level of Super Saiyan that ditches the blonde look and returns the Saiyans to their more primal state with long dark hair, fur, and tails with an intimidating touch to their updated look. No such level exists in Dragon Ball Super, as fans first witness Goku going from Super Saiyan 3 while fighting Beerus for the first time to Super Saiyan God, then finally Super Saiyan Blue with Super Saiyan 4 out of the picture entirely.

Given the discrepancies between Dragon Ball Super and GT there is simply no way the two stories exist in the same universe, and since Akira Toriyama is behind Dragon Ball Super and wasn’t behind GT, that means GT is the odd one out. However, just because it seems as though Dragon Ball Super has erased GT from continuity doesn’t mean GT isn’t just as valid as a Dragon Ball story. Many characters from Dragon Ball Z return to their former glory in GT and Super Saiyan 4 is unarguably awesome both in power level and aesthetic. Dragon Ball Super erases Dragon Ball GT from continuity but it doesn’t erase the enjoyment GT brings to Dragon Ball fans everywhere.
