Z!, GT is like DB with cooler charachters and a bad script.

-- Pearson (none@aol.com), April 18, 2004.

Z, of course. I haven't seen too much of GT, but that's basically cuz I don't wanna. The animation got worse and have you heard the dubbed voice for Pan? Eww.. XD

-- Samantha (XoMinaoX@aol.com), April 19, 2004.

tsk ofcorse Z!Well,GT is not bad but still,Z has more action

and

IT HAS MORE ACTION AND A LOT MORE EXCITEMENT

-- red suns srotary,the dark alliance (tripoidx3gundam@hotmail.com), April 20, 2004.

Z, it has more episodes, more action and most of the saiyan transformations, while gt is all about goku, pan and trunks finding the dragonballs, even the evil 17 saga sucked ass

-- Perverted Person (BlackRealmofHell@yahoo.com), April 21, 2004.

If you want i have almost every episode of db,dbz, and dbgt my aim screenname is AFITHEMISFITS101

-- Perverted Person (BlackRealmofHell@yahoo.com), April 21, 2004.


I liked gt better because the sagas were way cooler but it is so short Also i like the ending music and storyline

-- Timmy Turkey (RayBlasterX@aol.com), April 28, 2004.

i like G more action

-- someone cool (marcbeish@mail.com), April 28, 2004.

...

I can't even believe someone would ASK this question. GT wasn't even by Toriyama-Sensei. GT sucked. Why the Hell else do you think it only has 64 frickin' episodes?! Dragonball Z is the final true chapter of the Dragonball universe, and even if you DO like GT there is no way in HELL it is better than Z. And where the Hell do you get that it has "more action"?! Fat chance, kid!!!! GT sucked in Japan, and you can be damn sure the English version sucks FAR worse.

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), April 29, 2004.


thx yes u have a piont dbz is way better way more episodes my conclusion is dbz way better gt sucks and also anyone heard that they may be making dragonball af???

-- Prince Vegeta (Majin_Vegeta898@hotmail.com), April 30, 2004.

what id like to know is what do the letters after the names mean is there a point with the Z or GT. personally i like Z but i like the colour sceme in GT it makes it seem alot darker that the previous series and i like that kinda thing

-- Informer X (ithinkimhigh@sbcglobal.net), May 01, 2004.


AF= Absolutely Fake

-- Pearson (none@aol.com), May 02, 2004.

but what does GT or Z stand for?

-- Informer X (ithinkimhigh@sbcglobal.net), May 02, 2004.

GT= Grand Tour Z= the Z in dbz doesn't really stand for anything in the series. akira toriyama, the creator, only added that to show readers that this series was coming to an end. *if you don't believe me, read the 03 july issue and dbz section of Shonen Jump!*

-- Pearson (none@aol.com), May 05, 2004.

i beleive you

-- Informer X (ithinkimhigh@sbcglobal.net), May 06, 2004.

Damn, this just keeps getting BETTER. I stand corrected for thinking someone asking if GT was better than Z was the most patheitc question EVER. SOMEONE ACTUALLY BELIEVES THE DBAF RUMOR. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it weren't for the fact that this is obviously a hoax ON IT'S OWN...People are just so stupid that they believe it. Go to Daizex.com and check out their April Fools Day prank. Cracked me up!!!!!!!!!! The most hillarious thing in the world, and what's better is that it plays on the idiots who actually BELIEVE that DBAF could exist. Check it out.

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 06, 2004.


Oh and actually, while it IS correct that GT is Grand Tour, I'm gonna elaborate on the Z part. Toriyama-Sensei really didn't come up with Z. Z is only in the Anime, while the Manga was just "Dragonball" throughout. To distinguish that the "Z" portion of the series was going to be different Toei considered altering the title a bit, and Toriyama-Sensei suggested Z since it was the last letter of the Roman alphabet and that it was THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE SERIES, not that it was coming to an end because it continued for a long while after it became Z (Even though, yes, Toriyama-Sensei wanted to end after the Freeza Saga). But yeah, pretty much just what Pearson said.

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 06, 2004.

Actually, I heard that Toriyama planned to end the series after the Cell games, leaving Gohan to be the guardian of earth.

Anyway,GT could have been better but they made the mistake of neglecting key characters that made 'Z' what it was. Choosing to ignore the likes of Piccolo, Tien, Goten, Vegeta and especially Gohan, while focusing mainly on Gokou and Pan automatically doomed the series.

GT might have become a worthy sequal to 'Z' if it had the following changes

1. Didn't neglect the supporting characters from 'Z'

2. Made Gohan the main Character instead of always having Gokou in the lime light.

3. Had better sagas! The last saga (dragon saga) was the worst in my opinion, Gogeta's potental was wasted on pointless enemies. If they were gonna stick to the fusion idea, It would have made a nice end to GT, if instead Cell and Frieza found a way to fuse. As ridiculous as that sounds, that probably would have become the best most entertaining saga in GT, and Gogeta's powers would not have been wasted.

-- Live for your Dreams (Vegito@hotmail.com), May 08, 2004.


ok i have never heard of Gogeta i thought the fusion of goku and vageta was named vageto. and second of all DIDN'T CEll AND FREIZA DIE??!! I THOUGHT THEY DIED IN Z. i also didnt thinkithey were done with GT on account of the fact that there is a new episode coming on tonight. im not a big GT watcher so maybe i missed something, but i dont see how what LIVE FOR YOUR DREAMS just said has to do with ANYTHING.

-- Informer X (ithinkimhig@sbcglobal.net), May 08, 2004.

All of you SHAAAADUP!!!

-- poonanny (poonanny@poonanny.com), May 09, 2004.

Okay Look OBVIOUSLY Informer X hasn't paid ANY attention to GT, so i'm kinda wondering why you're even here!! If you did you would know that Gogeta was formed in the fusion, and that Cell and Frieza were at least partly revived in hell.

My point was that GT might have stood a better chance against 'Z' if those changes I mentioned were made.

-- Live For Your Dreams (Vegito@hotmail.com), May 09, 2004.


Live for your Dreams-Yeah, Toriyama-Sensei FIRST was going to end the series after the Freeza Saga, but after he did more (offered more еее, of course), he THEN decided to end it after the Cell Saga and make Gohan-Kun the hero (Which would have been MY fave ending). However of course more еее was offered and thus we have the Buu Saga. Even though the DBZ ending sucked ass though and I would have loved the series to have ended after Cell, I would have missed having the Buu Saga (no Gotenks and the Chibi's?! HELL NO!!!!!!!!). And I think you would like my idea of Dragonball IGNO (If GT Never Occured)-A sequel to DBZ starring grown up Goten and Trunks. E-Mail me if you have any interest. Ja ne!

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 10, 2004.

HAVE U SEEN THE AMERICAN VERSION OF GT !!!!! ITS WAY BETTER BUT PEOPLE COULD PUT UP A GOOD ARGUEMENT BECAUSE I STILL LIKE Z BUT THE GT SAGA HAD GOOD ACTION AND THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!!!! (IF U HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT WUT I SAID E-MAIL ME)

-- (brendanshine240@hotmail.com), May 10, 2004.

LFYD (live for your dreams) i dont pay attention to GT because i dont need to i will watch it and think ok that was cool and all but i dont pay close attention and i also havent seen the earlier episodes so i wouldnt know very much about it. you cant talk to me like that. no body likes GT okay 1 or 2 people maybe are you one or 2 which one are ya man.

-- Informer X (ithinkimhigh@sbcglobal.net), May 10, 2004.

Informer X, I was just making a point. It sounded as though you were accusing my opinion as not having ANYTHING to do with this topic, when actually it had EVERYTHING to do with it.

No hard feelings though pal, look i'm not a big fan of GT either.

Suupaa Gohan 2/Jane, yeah I'm interested in your idea, probably email ya soon. Don't mean to change the topic, Prince Vegeta, but while we're on the subject, anyone else have any ideas as to how GT could have been changed for the better?

-- Live For Your Dreams (Vegito@hotmail.com), May 11, 2004.


GT really REALLY REEEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY sucks. I'm sure that the English version sucks 100 x more. And for reasons GT could have been better...Well I think it was doomed anyways since the absence of Toriyama-Sensei, but possibly if they hadn't made it focus on Gokou again...And well, you know...By the end of DBZ the characters were old ENOUGH without GT needing to make another frickin' 10 years pass and make everyone super OOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDDD...Maybe if they didn't pass an extra 10 years and the plot was a little less ridiculous, it could have had SOME hope, y'know?

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 11, 2004.

LFYD its fine i just dont like it when people say they dont know why im here for not knowing anything about an anime like GT. sorry man yeah i dont think Goku should have been the star, but they could have put him in there. I thinki it would be good if Trunks Uub Goten or Goku were the main character. any of them woulda worked. Goku being a kid again was a good idea though ya gotta admit. it makes things more desperate for the characters.SG2 the english version isn't bad its okay. Both of ya had some good ideas. sorry again for any misunderstandings LFYD.

-- Informer X (ithinkimhigh@sbcglobal.net), May 11, 2004.

Yeah I guess. But I still prefer to think of the series ending with Dragonball Z, but to each his own...

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 12, 2004.

Informer x, no worries man, guess I over reacted a little bit, didn't mean to offend.

Before GT aired I heard (from unreliable sources) that Gohan was to be the main character of GT. I loved the idea since Gohan was my fav character in Z, and the idea of the father passing down his responsibility to his son appealed to me. It was a let down for me when I found Gokou to still be the main Character, and even worse when I saw how Gohan had been neglected, after all the time they spent developing his character in Z.

-- Live For Your Dreams (Vegito@hotmail.com), May 12, 2004.


EXACTLY. I personally think there are MANY more things wrong with GT, but Hell yeah!!!!!!!! Gohan-kun is my favorite character, and I would have totally loved it if the series ended with the Cell Saga and him being the hero. I didn't like him as an adult even in the Buu Saga, but he grew up and that's something I gotta accept. He was still a kick-ass fighter. But GT kinda just followed the end of Z where Gohan was a nerd, but made it worse. That's why in my IGNO sequel Gohan is going to look deep inside himself and realize he was always a fighter at heart, and throw off the shackels of nerddom and become a fighter again. Yeah...It may sound like I'm just being bias but I really really think IGNO has some good ideas in it!!!!!!

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 12, 2004.

Yeah, ending the Z series at the Cell games might not have been such a bad idea, but there were some good aspects of the buu saga.

Personally though, my Fav saga was the whole Cell saga (From Trunks- to the Cell games). Piccolo vs 17 was the best fight in DBZ in my opinion. What's your fav saga Suupaa Gohan 2?

-- Live For Your Dreams (Vegito@hotmail.com), May 12, 2004.


You can call me SG2. My fave Saga is the Cell Saga by far. If you couldn't gather so from my name, my fave character is Gohan-kun (actually in the Super Saiyajin 1 form), and my favorite scene is him going SSJ2 (I just think it's an ugly form and SSJ1 is cuter). Thus my favorite song by my favorite singer in my favorite episode of my favorite series...Is Unmei no Hi Tamashii tai Tamashii, the song used in Gohan's SSJ2 transformation.

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 13, 2004.

Yeah i like the Cell saga alot to, but i have a question SG2, and that is who is Umta lana hunhana uta pa pa pa pu pu (pronoucing the name wrong on perpose in order to be funny. i like System of a Down if they were to be in the soundtrack to an anime that would be awsome.

-- Informer X (ithinkimhig@sbcglobal.net), May 14, 2004.

UNMEI NO HI TAMASHII TAI TAMASHII is the song used as Gohan's SSJ2 song. It's by Kageyama Hironobu...You know, the guy who sings Cha- La Head-Cha-La, We Gotta Power, and almost any other DBZ song you can think of? If you wanna hear it go to dragonballz.de in the section "Music Vault" and then "DBZ/GT Music". Once on the CD Select screen pick the one (near the bottom) that's "All openings/endings". The song is in there. It's really great. EVERYONE READING THIS GO LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SG2 HAS SPOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 17, 2004.

Geeze how can you people even think for a second that GT is better than Z? Are you guys alright? If you think that Gt is better than maybe you havent watched all of Z! The androids and cell sagas along with Trunks were the best anime eva made! I have it all on dvd! Im currently watching DBGT and its so boring i cant even look at it without focusing my attention to a blank wall. (how exciting). Even the majin Buu bit of DBZ was good. GT sucked! It was a terrible way to end the great anime! SO im gonna say that it ended after majin buu!

-- Bree Trantya (animegirls_b_18@hotmail.com), May 24, 2004.

Hell yeah that's what I said!!!!!!!! Who could possibly like GT more? IT WASN'T EVEN BY TORIYAMA-SENSEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!! Although GT's ending was 100x better than DBZ's...DBZ's ending was just aweful. But that's why besides my regular crazy Doujinshii I just started writing a new Doujinshii which is a sequel to DBZ. It's called Dragonball IGNO (If GT Never Occured) and it's the adventures of the formerly chibi Goten and Trunks!!!!!!! It's gonna be cool!! I started scribbling down ideas about a month ago but I just got around to writing a script for chapter 1 about 20 minutes ago in History class...It's gonna be cool. If anyone's interested contact me. This is gonna be a big project for me to undertake and the first volume probably won't even be done before summer vacation but I'm really excited...I've even had to put my old Doujinshii on the back seat for a bit...Well if you're interested e-mail me at SG2Mod@yahoo.com!

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 24, 2004.

a word from the wise SG2 dont openly talk about ideas on public message boards because then (unless you have copyrighted the idea) people will steal it. i am NOT threatening you it happened to. i talked about an idea on a message board a few monthes later a book came out "hey thats my story what the fuck?"

BUT

yeah this sounds interesting where will i be able to veiw\read this?

-- Informer X (ithinkimhigh@sbcglobal.net), May 24, 2004.


Well that's the thing-I'm not dumb enough to actually post my ideas here (But thank you much for telling me anyway Informer X), which is why if anyone HONEST cares I'll E-Mail it to you (I just wrote my script of Chapter 1 in History Class yesterday and am gonna start drawing it in my Field Botany Class next-Yes I know I should be doing my work but whatever...). But there are really people that low out there? God damn...Well I've copywrited the original artwork I've done so far (Cover, Title Page, etc.), if I can ever scan it and show it to people online...Christ people, you gotta stop taking credit for stuff you didn't do...Assholes...But yeah Informer X or anyone else who cares tell me and I'll E-Mail you my script for Chapter 1 (As soon as I get around to typing it up)!! Ja ne!

-- Suupaa Gohan 2 (dragonballz@aol.com), May 25, 2004.

I'm interested :D pentex_1@msn.com and in answer to the forum subject I think DBZ is better

-- Pentex (pentex_1@msn.com), May 25, 2004.

well thats good that u have copyrighted it now it is safe from being stolen, i was not trying to imply that you were dumb enough to do that i was just warning you. sorry if there was a misunderstanding.

-- Informer X (ithinkimhigh@sbcglobal.net), May 25, 2004.

It's obvious that MOST People are gonna feel DBZ is better than GT, but GT did have some good ideas, Super Saiyan 4 (my Favourite form) and Gogeta. So what about the fights, What's your favourite fight in DBZ?

-- Live For Your Dreams (Vegito@hotmail.com), May 29, 2004.

yeah super sayan 4 was pretty cool, Gogeta is a gay ass name but yeah he was cool and all so yeah.
