I would have actually appreciated a "filler" episode where they collect the Earth's dragon balls to try and get the black star balls back to earth, and Shenron explains that the cursed red dragon is beyond him in terms of power, as his wishes are without limitation due to the cost they demand. As such, moving the black star dragon balls is beyond him. It would make very logical sense, and they could re-use that wish to get like, a radar that can track them, or a ship capable of going after them or something.
Ya but then the next easy solution to that is "Okay, send Seven of us to each Black Star Dragon Ball" that way they can collect them instantly and all Goku would have to do is instant transmission to each of them collecting the dragon balls and teleporting back to Earth with them.
They probably didn't think of the dark dragons yet but it would have been cool if instead the wish made the normal dragon balls inactive and they corrupted the balls. That would make it so they have to go on the journey and when they come back then it leads to the dark dragons
Trunks having to be the 'father' of the group - as he is LITERALLY the only adult on that ship - really does tank his character compared to Future Trunks in DBZ. And you're right, Piccolo would have been a WAY better choice.
He was always going to be a completely different character, this trunks didn't grow up as the sole surviving fighter of a post apocalypse. This one actually grew up in 10 years of total peace, then Buu happened, then another 10 years of total peace, if we ignore Super.
@@Degalon It’s still kinda weird to have Trunks in that position in the show. I’m not saying he has to be a carbon copy of Future Trunks, but Piccolo really would’ve been a better choice to be the “dad” of the group, which makes it even more sad that he barely does anything in GT.
Would have loved to have this Trunks growing up in his future self's shadow, knowing he isn't as smart as his mom or a warrior like his dad and getting compared to someone he can never be when he doesn't meet their expectations. Like them saying they KNOW he can be better, or just a casual line when they're frustrated that a parent forgets and a kid remembers. It'd make this a chance for him to become his own person outside the shadow of his family.
The only thing I reemember about Dragonball GT is the opening, it has lived in my head rent free for well over a decade. Can't wait to revisit the series with Nick and Kaiser!
GRAND TOUR GRAND TO- Oh wait not that one? I love both intros. Mark de Groot has a very nice cover of Dan Dan that I think folks should listen to if you haven't.
I feel like Lani's GT Vegeta would've bragged every single day about finally being taller than Kakarot until Super Saiyan 4 where he just gets pissed again.
Pan's name comes from the Japanese word for bread, based on the Portuguese word "Pão". The Japanese pronounce it "Pahn". So I'm pronouncing it Pahn. Especially since we're literally hearing that every episode. I shouldn't need to explain myself-- AGAIN-- but there you go.
wait, did people seriously not get that? you've always used the Japanese pronunciations, it would sound weird to hear you say Goku in the English pronunciation, honestly. what did they expect?
Piccolo would have been great as the 3rd of the main group. Just imagine "Goddamit Goku... first i have to raise gohan, then i help raise goten, and i even help raise pan... NOW i need to raise YOU as well!"
Now I HAVE to do this. Goku: Wait, then Piccolo? Does this mean...you're my mommy? Piccolo: What? No, I- Goku:EEEEEEEEE!!!!! I have a mommy, now. And what's even better? My mommy's a Yoshi. Piccolo: D@#M IT, GOKU!!!! I JUST SA- Goku: Ah-ah-ah. Mommies shouldn't swear, Piccolo. At least, that's what Chi-Chi says. Wait, if you're my mommy, does that make Chi-Chi my wife, or my sister? And would Gohan be my brother? Piccolo: Goku, I say this with all the love in my heart. I should've aborted you. Goku: You did. Just now. You also aborted Gohan after I died. Which now that I think about it. WHY WOULD YOU LET ME DIE, MOMMY?!?!?! (Piccolo, sick of all of this, then smacks Goku into a tree.) Goku: (muffled) I still love you, Mommy. Piccolo: No. (Leaves without another word.)

4:56 Fun Fact: While FUNimation's dub skipped the first 16 episodes of the show by truncating their events into one recap episode, the Blue Water dub never did! So over here in Canada & Europe, we got to watch all 64 episodes of this -pain & misery- interesting specimen.
Funny thing is, in Germany they cut so much of GT, that it was unwatchable. 13 Episodes missing, only 4 Episodes without any cut. If I remember correctly, they cut in the middle of the Fight of Super17 to the End of it.
@@justinp.9078Now I am wondering what I've watched in NL honestly. Was still an English dub, and we did go over the first GT arc. I kind of fell off halfway and I didn't really see the entire Baby arc not all of the shadow dragons.
I'm from the UK so like you I saw the Blue Water dub version as well, so I remember watching the first episode when it first aired here. That also means I didn't know about the rap version of the opening Funimation did until years later when TFS referenced it in a video one time, I think one of their lets play of the first xenoverse. I didn't watch a lot of GT, something about it didn't click for young me, so I didn't remember a lot of the early episodes, the most I watched was bits of baby so I saw SS4's first apperance and pretty much all of the Shadow Dragon arc. When I was older I tried watching it from the begining, I don't think I got past episode 3 😅
I still think (later with the leather pants) GT Vegeta has an underrated design. It's cool to see how a domesticated Vegeta would look on earth considering all he ever wore was his alien jumpsuit.
From the moment I first saw GT, I thought "Why isn't Uub on that ship instead of Trunks?" To this day, I still think that. It's so strange to me that Uub is introduced to immediately be sidelined, when he was primed to be an actual character that accompanies them as Goku's student, effectively.
They wanted the team to be similar to the OG one and Trunks was the best fit for the Bulma role. As to why Uub didn't have a bigger role, is probably the same reason Pan was written to be a damsel and not turning SSJ. That being that 90s Japan wasn't very progressive. Which is the same reason why I wouldn't praise Super fo eventually giving Pan SSJ. I mean it's been almost 30 years, it's not really something special nowadays.
Watching the GT dvd set in English with the Japanese score is so funny too. The English narrator trying his hardest to make everything sounds badass and edgy while the light-hearted Japanese score plays is hilarious to listen to.
*Dan Dan orchestra music playing in the background* Narrator: Goku transforms into a super saiyan 4 to prevent omega shenron from snapping his neck like a twig while constantly kneeing vegeta in the gut. Will Goku slit his throat to stop this madness from happening? Find out next time on dragon ball....GT
Literally the easiest thing regarding the usage of the dragon balls to recover the black star dragon balls would’ve been to have Shenron go “That wish is beyond my power” akin to a no wishing for no wishes rule.
@@TheAwesomeDarkNinjabut during the Freeza saga they used the earth Dragon balls to bring the Namekians and their dragon balls to earth. So I'm pretty sure it could work here too
Watching this whole thing made me think, "Huh, Lani and Scott could do a series of videos where they workship ideas on fixing GT. I'm sure people would be down for that." Like the idea of Piccolo going instead of Trunks already makes it sound so much better!

Genuinely the best part about GT is the Japanese opening. Controversial take I know but it’s on par with Cha La Head Cha La for me. It makes me cry every time
Kirran will star streaming his own separate series of commentaries on GT, then makes a surprise appearance on this show at the beginning episodes review of the Baby arc. For the cycle continues ever on.
@@gobl_ This is news to me, but not too surprising, since the DBCembers are written by Kaiser mostly. But I guess it’s better than someone bashing GT only to admit they barely watched it.
The dub had 2 funny lines in the first 2 episodes that werent in japanese, and those are when mai says adult goku has a body chisled out of marble, and when bulma yells to gohan that someones calling about goku and he says "Is it a restaurant? Because we get those alot."
Honestly the sub plot of Vegeta having a mid life crisis is funny to me. He trying to update his look and look cool and everyone just thinks it’s weird and no one likes his mustache to his anger.
Bit by bit, I'm falling INTO THE GRAND TOUR (GRAND TOUR, GRAND TOUR!!!) I realized something funny about Pan the other day. Make her older, swap the brattiness to delinquency, let her actually do stuff that matters, and what do you get? A rough draft for Caulifla.
17:36 Kaiser "Just get the Earth Dragon Balls and wish the Black Star Dragon Balls back to Earth." Shenron: "That is beyond my power." Kaiser: "Well, s***."
Shenron’s limitations don’t typically feel consistent, just like the plot demands it, he can wish back millions of people that frieza killed, but can’t kill vegeta and nappa, and can’t make 18 human again
@ragnaricstudios5888 it would've made sense if android 18 wasn't retconned to be a cyborg in the buu saga. It kinda made sense for shenron not being able to turn a robot into something with a soul.
The idea of young Goku getting "kidnapped" is a funny premise. I love gags about weak nobody characters trying to hurt or hold hostage super OP characters. There are so many funny ways this kind of situation can go. Either the OP character scares the nobody character with their power, or the OP character casually resists whatever the nobody character tries to do and makes them look dumb, or the OP character doesn't even know that they're supposed to be "in danger" and just have a good day while the nobody character gets more and more annoyed
OG Dragonball had a pair of filler episodes with a similar premise. A female thief that the Red Ribbon army hired to steal the Dragonballs from Goku, with predictable results
I feel like the abridged running gag for Pan in GT would’ve been like a mirror of Gohan’s DBZA running gag and be something like “ you’re not an adult”
As someone who never properly watched GT, judging by the intense levels of spiritual pain on these faces, I think "vicariously" is the best way to enjoy it.
Listening to people on the internet is gonna limit a major amount of the experiences you could have cause most of these mfs have never even had sex and are bland as a box of Kix cereal.
I watched it when I was 16 (2012), so it's been a while, but the best word I can use to describe it is "disappointing" or "missed potential". There was _so much_ they could've done, but in the end, they fumbled it. And now we'll have 20+ episodes of Lani and Kaiser explaining how.
Kaiser: Why didn’t they just use the original dragon balls to wish for the black star dragon balls to come back to earth? Lani: So the series can happen! Kaiser: Fair enough.
@@battlesheep2552they might also just have assumed that it'd be the case.THe Black Star dragonballs ARE more powerful than the normal ones, so they might've just figured: "Just wishing them back probably won't work..."
@@battlesheep2552 In hindsight, an easy fix for the Black Star Dragon Balls would have been to have them be the regular Dragon Balls getting corrupted by negative energy as the result of them being overused - basically, the premise of the Shadow Dragons saga.
Hindsight is 20/20 for the "just wish the black star dragon balls to earth" comment Instead of Pilaf "finding" the blackstar dragonballs ... have him wish on Earth's Bragonballs for the Blackstar ones, so you establish that Earth's are on Cooldown, hence why they HAVE to go on a trip! Seriously, they did that multiple times with the movies! they know how it works! Start the movie with a dumb wish, then the balls can't be used for the easy way out!
Earth balls have 3 wishes, so you'd need 2 more wishes to not have them become usable again in 4 months. At that point why wouldn't Pilaf just use the Earth ones for whatever he's trying to do?
@@ShiningJudgment666 Wishing back the dead, restoring planets, granting immortality, granting eternal youth, knowing things about peoples and planets and histories he or his creator(s) could not possibly know anything about, teleporting entire populations across the galaxy But teleporting some objects? Nah man, too hard.
18:00 The thing is, it REALLY is not that hard to come up with a less contrived reason for the show to begin. Any of you in the comments who have ever taken any amount of creative writing courses can do it. Here's one now: Pilaf managed to get his hands on a piece of alien weaponry, thinking he could use it to eliminate Goku once and for all. He catches him by surprise with the beam, but - uh-oh! It's a de-ageing ray. Pilaf is easily dealt with, but the weapon self destructs like the Saiyan pods when Bulma inspects it, so in order to avoid using the precious yearly wish on the dragon balls, and partly because Goku is hungry for adventure anyway, he sets off into space to find the inventor of the ray who might just know how to reverse the process! There. Easy. Now you don't have to retcon anything, and you don't have to insert the completely needless 'Earth is going to explode because... Reasons!'
I like the dichotomy of Lani looking a bit like a casual Rocker with Scott looking like a schoolteacher or an author about to take a trip to the countryside for peace and quiet to write his next book.
The best part about the initial retcon of GT isn't even that another set of Dragon Balls existed and no one mentioned it ever, nor that they should've technically been discovered when Buu destroyed the lookout, but the fact that them being made by the original namekian is impossibile given that King Piccolo only learned about the Dragon Balls' existence due to Pilaf. Seriously, it's like they made a serious effort to find literally the WORST way to introduce this plot device.
Also this: Its been too long but iirc either -Bulmas Dragon Radar works on the black star balls, in which case, why did they enver pick up that there were 14 dragon balls, with 7 already gathered. OR -Bulma modified her radar/built a new one to specifically pick up the signal of the black star balls. How? Like if they gave off a different energy source, they are gone now so how did she configure it to be able to find them? Also, how did Pilaf learn about these? Also, why did Kami, after he split from piccolo and became 100% good, not destroy them? Or why did Piccolo not once he refused with Kami? Also, why does anyone know that using them = the planet blows up...sounds like they'd have to be USED to learn that.
@@shino4242 Dragon Balls probably can't be destroyed. Namekians know instinctively how their balls work or similar balls were made before. Radar doesn't register inactive balls and they were inactive until Piccolo and Kami fused. After that maybe they took time to properly reactivate. Plot convenience for Pilaf.
The better plot would have been the Black Star Dragon Balls were the cause of what destroyed Namek like the great catastrophe Guru guided them through. The plabet would have blown up but they thought get them off world only for the Dragon to say nice try you didn't fix it and still screw the planet up.
31:17 THANK YOU, someone finally put into words. Seriously though about the background music. I watched GT on Nicktoons as a kid and they used the US OST. It is so barebones from what from I remember. It was a few guitar strums followed by the stinger they used for commercial/ep ends.
I love the juxtaposition between this and the beginning of the DBZA commentaries where Lani is enjoying the madness and having fun and Kaiser just looks more and more pained with each episode there and here we have the complete opposite. Definitely looking forward to more though especially when they get to the bigger arcs
I always knew Pan was like 10-14. But I honestly stopped thinking about age from the first half of episode 1. So I never thought about how old Bula (Bra) was. She was just born, like less than 1-2 years at the very end of Z. So.. it doesn't matter if it's 5 or 10 years after Z, she would be, at most, 10-11 years old. In retrospect, this is insane.
*I like GT the way I like the old Dragon Ball manga covers - implied adventures that we never actually see.* Yes, the execution wasn't there in terms of the _actual_ adventures they went on. But *Toriyama's designs* for GT were beautiful - & the general _ethos_ of trying to capture the adventuring vibe and aesthetic of early Dragon Ball was a solid idea.
"This is a Trunks who has known very little hardship." Cut to Kid Trunks getting the shit beaten out of him by his dad and a pink monster, watching his dad explode and dying alongside the rest of the planet by the time he's eight.
Headcannon: The reason they don't try to wish those dragonballs back is because Bulma and Bra wasted the wishes on cosmetics, regretted it and went to namek to get those cosmetics redone and undone before episode 1.
10:34 how DARE you, ive always loved Roshi's Fresh Prince look in GT, its one of few things i truly love about the show. Its like hes going thru his fifth mid-life crisis at the age of 200
Canadian here. My opening was the English *almost* version of Dan Dan. "In another time and place, scattered all over space. We've got to find them all. Gotta find the dragon balls!" Nostalgic as hell.
Same here. Rewatching GTFS from the start again before the last two commentaries (finale and movie/OVA) and as much as GT has some hidden gems, I still don't know how much I can unironically recommend it. 😅
When this is over (whenever that is 💀) I feel like a ff7 machinabridged commentary would be cool. I just finished rewatching the series and it was really great
For me,Gohan's design here honestly left a better first impression on me than Gohan's green bomber jacket in Super. And the black glasses definitely felt like a better call than the yellow ones. That being said, all the previous main female cast translated to GT very well.
Honestly the Kidnapping call with vegeta is the best shit ever in germany because vegeta basically says "did i get that right? you kidnapped kakarot?"-"yeah and we won't hesitate to kill him if y-" "yeah just go ahead and do that i would be really glad if you succeed."-hangs up :D
With that Factor spot, I'm starting to believe Lani is slowly becoming Jack Black. I guess all that's missing is Lani starring in a comedy movie about voice acting that involves making a deal with the devil for voice acting success by proxy.
Look Dragonball GT is how I found out about DBZ, without it I would not be a Dragonball fan. It may not be the best show, but it did leave a positive impact
Yes a TH-camr who passed away in 2023 had a TH-cam channel dubbed as Slick Goku in which he voiced a gangsta version of Goku but in his super Saiyan 4 form and made gag videos of SS4 Goku (slick Goku ) interacting with various anime women in funny scenarios
I mean, it turned my entire friend group except me off Dragon Ball content for a decade until I roped them back in with DBZA - so it had its downsides too.
"Use the earth's dragon balls to wish the black star dragon balls back on earth." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH I face palmed so hard when I heard you say that!!! Oh god it's so obvious I never thought of it!!!!!
I mean, there's excused for that not working, the Black Star Dragon Balls are more powerful than the regular ones, so them being beyond Shenron's power to effect would make sense...
If I had to head canon an answer to WHY they didn't just wish back the Balls. I'd either say you can't use Dragon Balls to collect Dragon Balls. Or that Goku was bored and figured a trip to space with the kids sounded fun.

4:56 Fun Fact: While FUNimation's dub skipped the first 16 episodes of the show by truncating their events into one recap episode, the Blue Water dub never did! So over here in Canada & Europe, we got to watch all 64 episodes of this -pain & misery- interesting specimen.
I think I saw one of the clips from Blue Water Dub when Baby Vegeta meets Trunks at Capsule Corp on TH-cam many years ago
Funny thing is, in Germany they cut so much of GT, that it was unwatchable. 13 Episodes missing, only 4 Episodes without any cut. If I remember correctly, they cut in the middle of the Fight of Super17 to the End of it.
@@justinp.9078Now I am wondering what I've watched in NL honestly. Was still an English dub, and we did go over the first GT arc. I kind of fell off halfway and I didn't really see the entire Baby arc not all of the shadow dragons.
I'm from the UK so like you I saw the Blue Water dub version as well, so I remember watching the first episode when it first aired here. That also means I didn't know about the rap version of the opening Funimation did until years later when TFS referenced it in a video one time, I think one of their lets play of the first xenoverse. I didn't watch a lot of GT, something about it didn't click for young me, so I didn't remember a lot of the early episodes, the most I watched was bits of baby so I saw SS4's first apperance and pretty much all of the Shadow Dragon arc. When I was older I tried watching it from the begining, I don't think I got past episode 3 😅
@@Tuning3434almost certainly the Blue Water dub then, if it was in English. Probably imported from the UK
We finally found out why Popo laughed when Kami said he only found 5 bodies
That "Start Button bit" made me crave GT Bits from y'all.
GTidBits?
I still think (later with the leather pants) GT Vegeta has an underrated design. It's cool to see how a domesticated Vegeta would look on earth considering all he ever wore was his alien jumpsuit.
From the moment I first saw GT, I thought "Why isn't Uub on that ship instead of Trunks?" To this day, I still think that. It's so strange to me that Uub is introduced to immediately be sidelined, when he was primed to be an actual character that accompanies them as Goku's student, effectively.
They wanted the team to be similar to the OG one and Trunks was the best fit for the Bulma role.
As to why Uub didn't have a bigger role, is probably the same reason Pan was written to be a damsel and not turning SSJ.
That being that 90s Japan wasn't very progressive.
Which is the same reason why I wouldn't praise Super fo eventually giving Pan SSJ. I mean it's been almost 30 years, it's not really something special nowadays.
@@BlazeQuadZ Of course, that's IF Super gives her SSJ.
Watching the GT dvd set in English with the Japanese score is so funny too. The English narrator trying his hardest to make everything sounds badass and edgy while the light-hearted Japanese score plays is hilarious to listen to.

Narrator: Goku transforms into a super saiyan 4 to prevent omega shenron from snapping his neck like a twig while constantly kneeing vegeta in the gut. Will Goku slit his throat to stop this madness from happening? Find out next time on dragon ball....GT
Literally the easiest thing regarding the usage of the dragon balls to recover the black star dragon balls would’ve been to have Shenron go “That wish is beyond my power” akin to a no wishing for no wishes rule.
Dragon Balls' wishes can't affect other Dragon Balls. It would be so easy to say.
@@TheAwesomeDarkNinjabut during the Freeza saga they used the earth Dragon balls to bring the Namekians and their dragon balls to earth. So I'm pretty sure it could work here too

There’s a reason all the dedications to Toriyama have used the GT music.
Whenever Kirran's not on-screen, everyone should be asking "Where's Kirran?"
I hope he's having a Good Time in whatever Zone he's at.
Kirran will star streaming his own separate series of commentaries on GT, then makes a surprise appearance on this show at the beginning episodes review of the Baby arc.
For the cycle continues ever on.
And Kirran should be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine-
I know he’s doing his own stuff but it would feel almost criminal not have Kirran comment on super saiyan 4 and super android 17
one of the best things that happened in that channel is that kirran admitted he barely actually watched GT
note: me when i spread misinformation
@@gobl_ This is news to me, but not too surprising, since the DBCembers are written by Kaiser mostly.
But I guess it’s better than someone bashing GT only to admit they barely watched it.
The dub had 2 funny lines in the first 2 episodes that werent in japanese, and those are when mai says adult goku has a body chisled out of marble, and when bulma yells to gohan that someones calling about goku and he says "Is it a restaurant? Because we get those alot."
That restutaunt line sounds pretty funny
i feel like by that point every restaurant has Capsule Corp on speed dial
Best one liner in this whole ep.
Goku: Do I have to go to school now?
Lani: You never went to school...oh god, he watched Evolution.
Honestly the sub plot of Vegeta having a mid life crisis is funny to me. He trying to update his look and look cool and everyone just thinks it’s weird and no one likes his mustache to his anger.
Vegeta looks like he just walked off the set of an Italian soap opera. It's great
I always thought he looked like he was pushing his 40s

@@ragnaricstudios5888why even keep them around to begin with? Kami (or Dende) dropped the ball with that one.
@ragnaricstudios5888 it would've made sense if android 18 wasn't retconned to be a cyborg in the buu saga. It kinda made sense for shenron not being able to turn a robot into something with a soul.
Lani's reaction to "It's more than a two parter" sums up the first 16 episodes...
The idea of young Goku getting "kidnapped" is a funny premise. I love gags about weak nobody characters trying to hurt or hold hostage super OP characters. There are so many funny ways this kind of situation can go. Either the OP character scares the nobody character with their power, or the OP character casually resists whatever the nobody character tries to do and makes them look dumb, or the OP character doesn't even know that they're supposed to be "in danger" and just have a good day while the nobody character gets more and more annoyed
OG Dragonball had a pair of filler episodes with a similar premise. A female thief that the Red Ribbon army hired to steal the Dragonballs from Goku, with predictable results
That gag was also used in one of the first chapters from Dr Slump
Maybe both was references to Toriyama's previous work. Or is just a trope, idk
Respect to Lani for accepting his fate. He will travel back in time to become Mick Foley.
KaiserNeko: "I wear shorts, ok. They're comfy and easy to wear!" 🤣
My giru is different from regular robots. It's like my giru is in the top percentage of robots.
He has to say that as trunks now. I will pay him any amount
I feel like the abridged running gag for Pan in GT would’ve been like a mirror of Gohan’s DBZA running gag and be something like “ you’re not an adult”
As someone who never properly watched GT, judging by the intense levels of spiritual pain on these faces, I think "vicariously" is the best way to enjoy it.
Listening to people on the internet is gonna limit a major amount of the experiences you could have cause most of these mfs have never even had sex and are bland as a box of Kix cereal.
I watched it when I was 16 (2012), so it's been a while, but the best word I can use to describe it is "disappointing" or "missed potential". There was _so much_ they could've done, but in the end, they fumbled it. And now we'll have 20+ episodes of Lani and Kaiser explaining how.
What i remember liking from GT
1. The first episode
2. Ssj4
3. The evil shenrons (even the stupid ones)
4. Ssj4 Gogeta
5. The Japanese op

@@valydendor4472 i didn't dislike the idea of baby but I don't remember liking the execution. Then again I haven't seen it since toonami

And the ending
Kaiser: Why didn’t they just use the original dragon balls to wish for the black star dragon balls to come back to earth?
Lani: So the series can happen!
Kaiser: Fair enough.
Wow wow wow wow...
Couldn't they just have the dragon say "that wish is beyond my power", like he did every previous time they needed to avoid him fixing the plot?
@@battlesheep2552they might also just have assumed that it'd be the case.THe Black Star dragonballs ARE more powerful than the normal ones, so they might've just figured: "Just wishing them back probably won't work..."
@@battlesheep2552 In hindsight, an easy fix for the Black Star Dragon Balls would have been to have them be the regular Dragon Balls getting corrupted by negative energy as the result of them being overused - basically, the premise of the Shadow Dragons saga.

Hindsight is 20/20 for the "just wish the black star dragon balls to earth" comment
Instead of Pilaf "finding" the blackstar dragonballs ... have him wish on Earth's Bragonballs for the Blackstar ones, so you establish that Earth's are on Cooldown, hence why they HAVE to go on a trip!
Seriously, they did that multiple times with the movies! they know how it works!
Start the movie with a dumb wish, then the balls can't be used for the easy way out!
Earth balls have 3 wishes, so you'd need 2 more wishes to not have them become usable again in 4 months. At that point why wouldn't Pilaf just use the Earth ones for whatever he's trying to do?
So excited for these !!
Yo! What's up vinny!?

Who made those black Dragon Balls?
Mr Popo: I. Why do you think they're black?
18:00 The thing is, it REALLY is not that hard to come up with a less contrived reason for the show to begin. Any of you in the comments who have ever taken any amount of creative writing courses can do it. Here's one now:
Pilaf managed to get his hands on a piece of alien weaponry, thinking he could use it to eliminate Goku once and for all. He catches him by surprise with the beam, but - uh-oh! It's a de-ageing ray. Pilaf is easily dealt with, but the weapon self destructs like the Saiyan pods when Bulma inspects it, so in order to avoid using the precious yearly wish on the dragon balls, and partly because Goku is hungry for adventure anyway, he sets off into space to find the inventor of the ray who might just know how to reverse the process!
There. Easy. Now you don't have to retcon anything, and you don't have to insert the completely needless 'Earth is going to explode because... Reasons!'
Isn’t that basically what they’re doing with daima but it’s looking for the wizard that turned them into kids instead.
lol when y'all said "You know who would have been better as an ACTUAL responsible adult?" I said "Piccolo" with zero hesitation, same time as Lani.
I like the dichotomy of Lani looking a bit like a casual Rocker with Scott looking like a schoolteacher or an author about to take a trip to the countryside for peace and quiet to write his next book.
I was going to say Lani is starting to look like a mid-card pro wrestler from the 80s in the best possible way, man is getting larger
The best part about the initial retcon of GT isn't even that another set of Dragon Balls existed and no one mentioned it ever, nor that they should've technically been discovered when Buu destroyed the lookout, but the fact that them being made by the original namekian is impossibile given that King Piccolo only learned about the Dragon Balls' existence due to Pilaf.
Seriously, it's like they made a serious effort to find literally the WORST way to introduce this plot device.
Better way to do it Piccolo decided to try and make a set after they got Dende's set
Also this: Its been too long but iirc either
-Bulmas Dragon Radar works on the black star balls, in which case, why did they enver pick up that there were 14 dragon balls, with 7 already gathered.
OR
-Bulma modified her radar/built a new one to specifically pick up the signal of the black star balls. How? Like if they gave off a different energy source, they are gone now so how did she configure it to be able to find them?
Also, how did Pilaf learn about these? Also, why did Kami, after he split from piccolo and became 100% good, not destroy them? Or why did Piccolo not once he refused with Kami? Also, why does anyone know that using them = the planet blows up...sounds like they'd have to be USED to learn that.
@@shino4242 Dragon Balls probably can't be destroyed. Namekians know instinctively how their balls work or similar balls were made before. Radar doesn't register inactive balls and they were inactive until Piccolo and Kami fused. After that maybe they took time to properly reactivate. Plot convenience for Pilaf.
The better plot would have been the Black Star Dragon Balls were the cause of what destroyed Namek like the great catastrophe Guru guided them through. The plabet would have blown up but they thought get them off world only for the Dragon to say nice try you didn't fix it and still screw the planet up.
Oh God, here TF we go. LET'S STEP INTO THE GRAND TOUR!!!

31:17 THANK YOU, someone finally put into words. Seriously though about the background music. I watched GT on Nicktoons as a kid and they used the US OST. It is so barebones from what from I remember. It was a few guitar strums followed by the stinger they used for commercial/ep ends.

It’s been close to 25 years since I’ve seen any of GT. I’ll be surprised if anything you guys say convinces me to rewatch any of it.
Holy shit, it's the first biking weather of the year and this drops the same day? Perfection.
I always knew Pan was like 10-14. But I honestly stopped thinking about age from the first half of episode 1. So I never thought about how old Bula (Bra) was. She was just born, like less than 1-2 years at the very end of Z. So.. it doesn't matter if it's 5 or 10 years after Z, she would be, at most, 10-11 years old. In retrospect, this is insane.
*I like GT the way I like the old Dragon Ball manga covers - implied adventures that we never actually see.* Yes, the execution wasn't there in terms of the _actual_ adventures they went on. But *Toriyama's designs* for GT were beautiful - & the general _ethos_ of trying to capture the adventuring vibe and aesthetic of early Dragon Ball was a solid idea.
I believe Toriyama did say that he loved GT.
Oh yes… This is where the fun begins…

"This is a Trunks who has known very little hardship."
Cut to Kid Trunks getting the shit beaten out of him by his dad and a pink monster, watching his dad explode and dying alongside the rest of the planet by the time he's eight.
For a Saiyan, let alone 2nd in line for the Saiyan throne, that is very little hardship.
Headcannon: The reason they don't try to wish those dragonballs back is because Bulma and Bra wasted the wishes on cosmetics, regretted it and went to namek to get those cosmetics redone and undone before episode 1.
You know what, I like to think that the Shadow Dragons where created because of that.
11:45: You really though you could sneak the Right Back At 'Ya Meta Knight theme past me? ...That is a deep cut I was not expecting in this.
10:34 how DARE you, ive always loved Roshi's Fresh Prince look in GT, its one of few things i truly love about the show. Its like hes going thru his fifth mid-life crisis at the age of 200
Canadian here. My opening was the English *almost* version of Dan Dan. "In another time and place, scattered all over space. We've got to find them all. Gotta find the dragon balls!"
Nostalgic as hell.
OOF, even as a GT apologist, may god bless your souls on this journey. You'll need it.
Same here. Rewatching GTFS from the start again before the last two commentaries (finale and movie/OVA) and as much as GT has some hidden gems, I still don't know how much I can unironically recommend it. 😅
When this is over (whenever that is 💀) I feel like a ff7 machinabridged commentary would be cool. I just finished rewatching the series and it was really great
Hope we see Antfish.
I’d honestly love that, especially because supposedly Square-Enix was ok with the show!
Now this...this does put a smile on my face. Watching this immediately after work.
Kaiser said 90% of the character redesign are bad.
I’m hoping that 10% is Videl
For me,Gohan's design here honestly left a better first impression on me than Gohan's green bomber jacket in Super. And the black glasses definitely felt like a better call than the yellow ones.
That being said, all the previous main female cast translated to GT very well.
Ah, the nostalgia train hits hard with GT commentaries! 🚂😂 Can't wait for Lani to analyze all the skeletons Popo left behind!

Honestly the Kidnapping call with vegeta is the best shit ever in germany because vegeta basically says "did i get that right? you kidnapped kakarot?"-"yeah and we won't hesitate to kill him if y-" "yeah just go ahead and do that i would be really glad if you succeed."-hangs up :D
I mean, one of the biggest wish things is "No wishing for more wishes" so wishing for other Dragon Balls to travel to you is basically the same thing.
15:22 the fact that pan is a coffee drinker lol. But also the lost character development from boy being intimidated by her strength
With that Factor spot, I'm starting to believe Lani is slowly becoming Jack Black. I guess all that's missing is Lani starring in a comedy movie about voice acting that involves making a deal with the devil for voice acting success by proxy.
Hahaha Lani's face at the start has me ready for these commentaries
Look Dragonball GT is how I found out about DBZ, without it I would not be a Dragonball fan. It may not be the best show, but it did leave a positive impact
Yes a TH-camr who passed away in 2023 had a TH-cam channel dubbed as Slick Goku in which he voiced a gangsta version of Goku but in his super Saiyan 4 form and made gag videos of SS4 Goku (slick Goku ) interacting with various anime women in funny scenarios
I mean, it turned my entire friend group except me off Dragon Ball content for a decade until I roped them back in with DBZA - so it had its downsides too.
How many people got turned off by the franchise because of GT? I bet many. So no, it did not have a positive impact.
The smirk on Kaiser's face as soon as the cut happened. He knew exactly how bad it was going to be for Lani's sanity.
"Use the earth's dragon balls to wish the black star dragon balls back on earth."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH I face palmed so hard when I heard you say that!!! Oh god it's so obvious I never thought of it!!!!!
I mean, there's excused for that not working, the Black Star Dragon Balls are more powerful than the regular ones, so them being beyond Shenron's power to effect would make sense...
Pan is actually just going to be Krillin sized forever and she's developed a complex over her height.
"GT stands for Grea-tur" made me laugh way more than expected
If I had to head canon an answer to WHY they didn't just wish back the Balls.
I'd either say you can't use Dragon Balls to collect Dragon Balls.
Or that Goku was bored and figured a trip to space with the kids sounded fun.
I just want to say, this is feel good and enjoyable to see you guys comment and chat. Also, thank you editor for what you do!
