The Ending of Dragon Ball GT EXPLAINED 

Dragonball GT ending: Where real men cried

It's crazy. Saw the last episode back in high-school. Here I am at 35 watching this video and getting emotional.

Torytaro who currently draws the DBS manga made a story called Dragon Ball AF which takes place 5 years after the GT ending you should check it out.Theres a bonus chapter that explains what happened to Goku after getting hit by Omega Sherons attack and falling into the hole Goku died but his spirt and the real shenrons spirit made a deal that he’ll revive Goku for a few minutes to defeat Omega but the catch is that Goku will become a host for shenron and return to the dragon realm forever.Which would explain how Goku knew what was going to happen.You made some very good points in this video without really knowing much about the ambiguous ending which is why you’ve earned a sub keep up the good work bro

Although it has it's faults, the ending of GT is a true work of art. Before getting DBS, GT's ending always left a wave of emotion after watching what was the whole DB series at the time all come to an end.

I remember the 10 years between GT and Super, seems like a lifetime ago. As others has said, great to hear some good press for GT.

Imagine Bulma didnt crash her car into goku in the first episode

GT took chances. The execution was flawed, but it wasn't afraid to tell a different story. Super played it safe. Its executed fine, but predictable and open ended in usual Toriyama fashion.

I am going to be honest with myself here. I used to be part of the hate chain for GT. At that point I hadn't even seen a single episode of GT in my life. After writing this comment, I have finished the entire series of GT, including the movie "A hero's legacy." The ending of the final episode "Until we meet again!" brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't even try to hold them back. I let those tears flow down my eyes, onto my sheets, onto my clothes, as I felt many mixed emotions. Emotions of happiness, sadness, nostalgia, and more. As this scene played, showing us the many encounters and problems Goku had faced in the past. As the original japanese version of Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku played showing these scenes it made me feel so damn nostalgic. I am saying, GT is awesome. Alot of GT haters have not even seen the show. You should watch GT from start to finish when you get the chance. It took me about 2 weeks, watching multiple episodes each day. The first saga felt slow going through it, but it wasn't all bad. There were some bad parts in my opinion, my favorite moments from this arc were probably these 2: Goku VS Ledgic, and Goku VS General Rildo. The Baby saga was awesome, Baby was an amazing concept for a villian, and is one of my favorite villians of all of Dragon Ball. Memorable scenes from the Baby Saga for me are: Baby Gohan & Goten VS Vegeta Goku transforming into SSJ4 for the first time Baby Vegeta VS SSJ4 Goku Baby Vegeta transforming into an oozaru. The Super Android 17 Saga was good too in my opinion, GT didn't need an asspull like Super to make 17 able to match Goku. Dr. Gero and Dr. Myu working together in hell to create a Hell fighter Android 17 to fuse with the original Android 17 to create a beast unstoppable, Super Android 17. My favorite scenes from this saga are: Gohan VS General Rildo 17 VS Vegeta Super Android 17 VS Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks & Uub Super Android 17 VS SSJ4 Goku Goku's Dragon Fist to finally end Super 17 for good. By far my most favorite saga out of them all, the Shadow Dragons Saga. It was a very nice, original concept. With how much the Z Fighters and people of Earth have overused the Dragonballs, and making them have consequences is something GT did that Super never will. Making overusing the Dragon balls having consequences is fantastic. It makes sense, because after the Dragon balls are used, they are sent across the planet and are supposed to only be used once every 100 years so the negative energy inside them can be released before another wish is made. But with how much the z fighters used the dragon balls, the negative energy built up so high inside them they cracked, and when they summoned Shenron, they summoned Black Smoke Shenron, who released all of the 7 Shadow Dragons across Earth, wreaking havoc. I personally did not like Haze, or Rage shenron. They had some really cringy parts which I hated. My favorite & most memorable scenes from this saga are: SSJ4 Goku VS Nuova Shenron SSJ4 Goku VS Eis Shenron SSJ4 Goku VS Syn Shenron Syn Shenron absorbing the Dragon Balls and transforming into Omega Shenron SSJ4 Goku's Dragon Fist VS Omega Shenron Vegeta going SSJ4 for the first time SSJ4 Gogeta being born SSJ4 Gogeta VS Omega Shenron SSJ4 Goku & Vegeta VS Syn Shenron Syn Shenron VS Nuova Shenron Syn Shenron transforming into Omega Shenron once again Omega Shenron's Negative Karma Ball VS Goku The Z Fighter's last stand against Omega And now, for the greatest moment in all of GT, everything leading up to this moment. As Goku rises out of the crater, carrying a Spirit Bomb in his hands, as it grows, absorbing the energy it can from Earth, as Omega Shenron tries to stop it, it is futile as Goku tells King Kai, and he informs the other kais as a Universal spirit Bomb is created, as the energy given to it comes from various planets, including the ones they encountered in the first saga. This Spirit Bomb was the finish to omega for good. If you read this far, thank you, I honestly appreciate it, and I am proud to be a GT fan.

When Goku swallowed the Four Star Sphere and it landed on his forehead, he automatically created a bond with Shenlong. He finally realized that he was responsible for virtually all requests made to the Dragon to repair errors. The Saiyan realized that he was primarily responsible for causing all those problems to Earth. You see, Freeza just came to Earth to take revenge on Goku, Cell would never have existed if it weren't for Goku, and even Majin Boo would never have awakened. That is, he always attracted bad things. So in that moment, taking into account that Goku is an extremely powerful being he may have decided that when it was over, he would leave with Shenlong. Another good reason that reinforces this is the fact that Goku is practically dead but still manages to get up and still perform the Genki Dama to end Omega Shenlong. At this point in question, it is most likely that he received direct help from Shenlong. Also, shortly after Goku leaves, Pan finds his shirt on the floor and guards it. But in the scene where he is with Shenlong, he is wearing his shirt. That is, Goku really died in the battle and that would just be his spirit leaving with Shenlong after his agreement. What further reinforces this is that he managed to go to hell to say goodbye to Piccolo. The moment the 7 Dragon Balls entered his body, Goku became a deity. The character then proceeded to observe the Earth from afar for his own safety.

GT aint that bad, it had problems but for it gave was memorable moments.

Awesome video man ! It’s refreshing to see someone not talk trash about Gt

I watched Dbz when I was a kid, and after as I was about 10 I watched GT, and I liked, and I know that everyone hates it, but the way that we saw the character older and the ending, I really liked it. I love that you actually talked about what is good on dragon ball GT. Hearing this song brings back memories, and I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought it was not that bad.

Goku giving up his soul in exchange for the power to defeat Omega Shenron and save the lives of his loved ones and everyone else on Earth makes complete sense. I like to think that as a result of him doing this (makingthe ultimatesacrifice), he was granted special treatment to keep his body and soul living on forever for all eternity, just like he does in our minds and hearts as fans of the series.

I just realize the way he was with everyone showed he couldn’t be brought back the dragon balls anymore 😔 that’s why he’s the way he is..Goku is the spiritual parent.

I've never had the chance to watch the integral of GT but i did watch its ending only to see myself cry As a kid who grew up with dragon ball this ending was powerful and the theme song is my favorite of dragonball

I just finished GT for the first time and loved it. It’s already nostalgic to me somehow. Really liked the new villains and I liked Pan’s character.

gt may not be perfect, but the ending really is amazingly crafted.

that last dbgt scene destroyed me emotionally when i first saw it...

tbh GT story makes sense than super, i mean i love super but the story of gt makes alot sense. like the last antagonist are the dragonballs.

Every time I think of gt I think of vegeta’s mustache

My Theory: So all the way from the Dragon Ball Z Cell Saga to the ending of GT; Goku has tried to get the current generation of Earth's warriors to get used to taking care of itself. First with Gohan fighting Cell then with Goten & Trunks defeating Majin Buu then with Gohan trying to defeat Super Buu. I think he knew then they shouldn't be so reliant on him or the Dragon Balls because they weren't always going to be there to defend them. I don't think he died , but I do think he struck a deal with the Dragon Balls. Something along the lines of " if you let me use you to save earth this one last time; I promise we'll let you rest to regain your energy." The only way to make sure the balls could rest though is to have Goku become a sort of Guardian of the Dragon Balls to ensure nobody would abuse them.

I was more sad about the ending of GT than i was when my wife asked for a divorce

I’m one of those weirdos that really enjoyed GT, and the ending was so well done that GT is always something I’m thinking of.

I love❤ the ending of GT., when a Cartoon ends it should be like this.😢

Usually everyone just bashes on it cause of “non-canon”

GT was the first anime I watched, ever, and I love it for that, it’s so good to see someone talk about it in a positive manner. Thank you.

Great video! I always liked GT, especially the Japanese intro theme

The opening theme and the last episode were EPIC!! I liked GT when I was child, I liked it even better than Z. Now I prefer the other sagas but I still remember it warmly and watch my favorite episodes from time to time. The ending always makes me cry. It was just beautiful

GT would’ve been good if they didn’t ruin vegeta’s haircut

The GT ending was so perfectly done it’s my favorite part of the series. I think when people think of why GT gets the hate it did they don’t realize that for us growing watching DBZ in the new internet age, we had heard of GT for over half a decade before it ever got aired on TV and it had an unfair amount of expectations on it. When we saw it, it didn’t live up to DB or DBZ and it made us resent it. That may be unfair to the show but that was why it was so maligned by fans.

GT's OST is indeed fantastic, has a sort of fantastical RPG feel to it.

When I was watching it some one started cutting onions in my room😭

20 years of existence, before my questions has been answered. Thank you for this video.

This man is amazing. The video made me cry of nostalgia. I was a very big fan of GT, but the way he explained the ending made me love GT even more! Props to you my brother!

This makes me cry ;(

I definitely wasn't a fan at GT at first, but after hearing this video's explanation, I came to love the series and it's ending. Thank you and good job on the content-making! Definitely going to sub.

The Titanic: Its not that sad Watching Goku Leaving for good: THIS IS SO GOD DAMN SAD 😭

Now this is just depressing

Dragonball GT has the best musical score!!

really enjoyed your video, thx :)

GT really doesn't get enough love. I like the beginning of the series and the nearly aimless meandering; it puts me in mind of original Dragonball days, back before it was men grunting at each other. I liked the battle with the shadow dragons, because conceptually it seems right, exploring the nature of the dragon balls and the wishes. The best part was how the four-star ball got purified of its evil simply by merging with Goku for a while; that's been part of Goku's magic from day one, he helps others turn away from evil. All in all, GT knew how to work with the material that preceded it, and indeed how to celebrate it. As for the ending, I can't say that Goku died, but he definitely moved to a different level of being. Dying means a physical body stops functioning and a soul leaves it (certainly that's how it works in the DB universe anyway). I don't think that's quite what we saw with Goku, though he's not ordinary flesh and blood either.

I never wanna see dragon ball end. And then when I seen the end pop up on my screen I cried

I really cried on this one, one of the depressing endings ever. Only a real fan can handle this

6:05 indicates Goku isnt dead due to him feeling warmth just like in Super 17 arc when the ice melted off Goku because he was still alive

I honestly feel that with some effort GT can be tied into Super and officially be made cannon. I'm also probably one of the few that wish Pan got more screen time; maybe be pushed into Super after Trunks or Goku "die".

i love any person that TRULY UNDERSTANDS the ending of GT. a celebration of the journey, just wonderful thank you!!

Dragon ball Super will never have the same emotion that GT has. Super just feels like a parody of Dragon ball, especially Goku.

Thank u dbzimran for making this video

Love your content, keep it up!

And when piccolo touches goku’s hand there’s a tiny yellow spark 🤝⚡️🤔

Damn dude, I’m 25 years old and I cried like I haven’t seen the ending already.

I always liked GT as a kid. Sure it had some flaws, but the ending is perfect. Truly satisfying yet bittersweet and while it feels final it is hopeful at the same time and leaves just enough room for anyone to view it anywhere on scale from literal to something more. Glad to see others who also appreciate it. Until we meet again!

I DESPISED the ending it was so depressing like goku is gone forever with shenron

GT will be forever canon in my heart.

Made me wanna go back and watch it again!

Even today after so much time.. tears are coming...

After ironman's snap this made me cry 😫😫😫😫

I think one moment in GT happens in "A Hero's Legacy", when Goku Jr. begins to cry desperately asking why Shenron isn't being summoned. The moment when Goku appears to Goku Jr. and the moment he shared with him, telling him how proud he is for being brave and his love for Pan brought him to the Four Star ball. I remember seeing that and genuinely having to hold back tears because it was so genuine and dubbed very well. Even Goku's silliness not knowing how old he is saying, "Well I'm your, uh......great, great, great.....well just call me Grandpa Goku!" Such a great special.

tbh super was my favourite saga compared to all it introduced 12 universes beginning with universe 6 vs 7 and ending with the tornament of power which includes all the universes and the which loses gets obliterated and the show also included the day to day life of goku and it's family

first saw dragon ball in early 2000 when i was 6, finally got to see the ending in 2009 i think, cried a lot, 11 years later i'm crying again

The theme is the reason I watch gt every month

I've never really watched GT that much but seeing youtube videos and hearing that Goku disappears from everybody while saying goodbye sounds so god damn sad.... like having a friend you know for an extremely long time says goodbye and straight up disappears... that's really sad... God damn I can't imagine how I will feel if I actually watched GT backed then without knowing if they'll make anymore Dragon ball after that ending... it's like you're not ready to say goodbye... good thing I didn't see it because I would've been super sad. I'm glad Dragon Ball Super is out. But even then there was the ending song in super where it was a manga page going up through all the stuff that happened in the past and at the end of the page you see Goku staring at the sky. He looks at the screen, waves goodbye and flys away into the sky.... It made me realize.... that one day... Dragon Ball as a whole will officially be over and never get a sequel... ever again..... and that it was officially.... goodbye...

Still Like GT better than Super. I like conclusions and stories that go full circle. I like that GT revisited the original adventure of Dragonball on a grand-scale. GT felt like a good conclusion to me with the final boss being related to the Dragonballs.

I love this Anime so much my dad and I would watch it and connect over it when I was growing up! He left us way too soon!! RIP To riyama

ending of GT Goku: Be back in a few years after this training!!!

beautiful video!

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It's make me cry But Dragon ball super 😊 Edit :- special thanks to this channel, no other channels explain like you.

all the anime's that i watched, this dragonball series is my favorite. i think i watched this 3 times already from the beginning when goku was a kid until the gt series. i do really really love this anime. 😘😘😘

GT will forever be my favourite. I might be the very few who believe that tho..

Good video man 👍🏻

Damn bardock if you haven't send goku to earth it will be doomed

This makes me sad, just like the cartoon did. And no it doesn’t get better. I’ve watched DBS to remind myself that he’s not really gone but he is, it happened, it’s real. Thanks for reminding me. 😣😢😭 I’ve forgotten about the shadow dragons 🐉 Oh damn the dragon even looks like Shenron. 😞

Super should have never happened. GT should have been the end.

Stop you are making me cry😔😥😢

Beginning of Gt was eh, but the ending hit me good to the point where it was a way to end the dragon ball story

The fact that goku lived from nothing to a hero and lived his life to the best to his abilities really hits hard

I threw a table at my wife when i watched this episode.... Because she laughed when i cried.

I don't give a damn to anyone bashing GT, when I was just 4 years old I'm always amazed to this series and even cried for it when one morning it's not on the TV anymore so my mom bought a DVD of it as a birthday present for me. Still so many sweet memories associated with this, even if I take the nostalgia away from it... it still never fails to awe me now that I am 20 by the time I was writing this. Long live GT!!!

If they don’t play GT opening music to my funeral I’m not going 😂

Wow awesome video

This ending was mad somber dude

Beautifully researched and crafted video. The Dragon Ball GT ending truly was the ending to all of Dragon Ball

I still don't get the ending and now i'm crying

Its always good to watch gt from the beginning to end. Its like a journey of a kid to man. That is Why it makes me cry.

GT wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as the other dragon ball shows

This video made me fucking cry like a man but I take that this subject touched me!

I love gt

I didn’t exist when Dagon ball gt was created but my dads love for db lives on in me, I get nostalgic for dragon ball gt. dbz has a special place in my brain, life and finally, my heart ❤️.

Man remember when people hated this show with a passion

This video hit a spot in my heart

GT was Awesome!!

This ending makes me cry, I've been watching DBZ and DBGT when I was in elementary way back 1995. Dbz and DBGT are the Best anime for me of all time. 💞💕💞💕😭😭

I love Dragon Ball GT.I hate super.

I like the idea of Goku becoming the new vessel of the Dragonballz. Also, Goku going to a realm of the dragons to grow up is a great way to put it. He isn’t dead, but he can’t be found in other world either.

It all ended GT for me,Dragon ball super is trash

I’m not crying you are😭

Goofy, cheerful, and gentle. Hard to be these days. Great video bro!

it did made me tear up because I like many grew up with Dragon Ball.

I cried 🤦 i just can't take this anymore

only ever saw GT In bits and pieces as a kid, just watched it through completely for the first time and man that ending hit right in the feels. obviously GT has it flaws but there so much about GT I prefer than what we are getting in Super
