In 1997, a Dragon Ball GT stage evidence was performed in Nippon. It featured Goku, Pan, and Trunks battling confronting villains from the series, as well as new forms of Cell and Frieza. All actors wore large mascot costumes for the functioning.[44]

Art books and manga [edit]

There are 2 companion books to the serial, called the Dragon Ball GT Perfect Files, released in May 1997 and December 1997 past Shueisha's Leap Comics Option imprint. They include series information, illustration galleries, behind-the-scenes data, and more. They were out of impress for many years but were re-released in April 2006 and this edition is still in print.[45] [46]

In 2013, an anime comic version of Dragon Brawl GT, starting from the terminal arc, began running in Shueisha'due south Saikyō Bound magazine. Information technology began serialization in the January 2014 issue, which was released on Dec 4, 2013.[47] Upon completing the arc, the comic resumed by starting from the showtime of GT in June 2019.[48]

Video games [edit]

In that location have been two video games produced based on Dragon Ball GT, the first being Dragon Ball GT: Last Tour in 1997 for the PlayStation, which received international releases that same twelvemonth, making it the original Dragon Ball game to be released in N America. The game featured a Californian-based voice bandage for the N American version, rather than the Vancouver-based Ocean cast, who were doing the original English dub of Dragon Ball Z in 1997. The 2005 Game Boy Advance game Dragon Ball GT: Transformation was released exclusively in N America.

Two "GT Packs" were released for the game Dragon Ball Xenoverse on March 10, 2015, and April fourteen, 2015, respectively. Both Packs can also be obtained through the game'south season pass.

Goku as he appears in Dragon Ball GT is a playable graphic symbol in Dragon Ball FighterZ. The character was released as paid downloadable content on May 9, 2019.[49]

Reception [edit]

The series is often considered the "blackness sheep" of the Dragon Brawl franchise, due to the lack of interest from series creator Akira Toriyama.[50] [51] In 2010, Dragon Brawl: Raging Nail 2 producer Ryo Mito stated that "GT is pop with fans overseas. In Japan, it'south not as popular."[52] It was considered to be Funimation's second-biggest anime property during the 2000s, backside only Dragon Ball Z. GT's American release was labeled as "very successful" in 2005.[53]

Funimation's dub received mixed-to-negative reviews. Jeffrey Harris from IGN called information technology "downright repellent," mentioning that the material and characters had lost their novelty and fun. They also criticized the GT character designs of Vegeta and Trunks as being "goofy."[54] Anime News Network (ANN) besides gave negative comments about the anime, mentioning that the fights from the series were "a very uncomplicated childish exercise" and that older fans will want to stick with other anime. The series'southward plot was also criticized for giving a formula that was already used in its predecessors.[55] Although, information technology did call information technology "a fun ride when not taken very seriously."[56]

In his 2008 Funimation flavour gear up review, Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk stated that the series became the "bastard kid of the serial",[57] and was "a bad idea that spawned out of someone'south desire to make more than money on the back of Toriyama's work."[57] He goes on to write, "Dragon Brawl GT isn't all bad. At that place are some nice fights scattered throughout the evidence and though the stories never quite reach the level nosotros grew accustomed to in Z some of moments were entertaining enough to please Dragon Brawl fans. It'southward merely that those snippets are spread few and far between and when compared to its predecessors it comes up woefully brusk by all accounts."[57]

CBR stated that the character of Pan "embraces a tomboy aesthetic and prefers fighting over other activities that might be considered more conventionally feminine.",[58] and claimed that the evidence "dropped the ball with [her] potential."[59] Comicbook.com said that GT "floundered to create characters who were memorable or even likable to fans",[60] and criticized information technology for making Goku become "so important to the show that erstwhile characters similar Krillin, Gohan, and even Vegeta are all but forgotten."[60]

In recent years, GT has begun to be compared favorably to Dragon Ball'due south latest anime series, Dragon Ball Super. In 2021, Hidden Remote remarked that, "Despite its strengths, Dragon Ball Super boasts some notable flaws. What'south more is that these weaknesses exist in areas where GT excelled."[51] CBR claimed in 2021 that GT had better music, and that Super Saiyan iv was more memorable than any of the transformations in Dragon Ball Super.[51]
