Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Out of all the things GT did wrong, this was the most wrong.

It's a show/comic about fun adventures and doofy gags and punching people. The Saiyaman stuff is good Toriyama material.
E: suppose I should say Toriyama-esque since most of it in the anime is filler.

No. This is.

Where are you in your life, when you can't enjoy such wholesome entertainment as this? A sad, dark place, that's all I got to say about that.
That is the fucking worst episode in all of DB - DBZ - DBGT. They took a fight that took one chapter and made it into an entire episode, terrible pacing.

? As a manga purist, aren't you contractually obligated to value this over the all filler sagas?
Either way, sweet sweet child abuse is worth any amount of filler. Saiyaman saga could learn something from that, just have Cell jump out of one of those highschool lockers, and uppercut Gohan's head clean off= instantly watchable.
This sums up everything wrong with Dragon Ball Heroes. That is literally Android 19 in the back with a female head. It's like they can't come up with anything original.
There were pages of designs from Toriyama for the main villains of the series, and I remember they all looked fairly unique in their own right, why can't we have more of that and less of this copy-paste stuff.
How was he teased exactly? After the time skip when Buu was killed, we were shown that he was a slacker. It's no surprise that he stopped fighting completely in GT. Goten is ass in GT yes, and it's a shame.
Such a waste of Sayian blood
He and Gohan had their chance against Buu, they messed up.

Gohan "stopped fighting" after the Cell time skip too, yet he went back to fighting during the Buu saga. They could easily have given Goten a reason to resume training.

They actually talk about fusing into Gotenks after they're freed from Baby's control, but Goku just tells them to not bother with it and just give him their power.
And yet the end of Z established that Pan was the only member of Goku's family that liked training, but she was just yet another slacker in GT...
Those in the back are mostly the player avatars, they're meant to mimic various race options from DBZ (each one has 3 designs per gender, if there's gender variation). So, they're basically purposefully generic.
The Gotenks line was against Omega Shenron, but Bebi If I remember correctly.
When was it established Pan was a slacker? She's pretty enthusiastic about it from the beginning.
As far as Gohan fighting in the Buu arc goes. He didn't want to join the tournament at all, he was blackmailed.

They could have done the same thing for Goten.
She just remained a so-so Saiyan throughout the entirety of GT. No real extreme progression in power.
Goten was meant to be going to outer space, but Pan snuck on the space instead.
It's not too bad though. Goten gets an entire episode dedicated to himself in GT (#25), he also fights in the 2008 OVA that takes place in the Buu arc.
Nobody in GT has any progression of power except Goku (has his tail pulled out so he can go SSJ4, no real training), Vegeta (Bulma makes a machine so he can go SSJ4, no real training), & Uub (fuses with Majin Buu, no real training).

Pan had no progression because progression would necessitate a super saiyan form. And since Toriyama was too lazy to ever figure out what a female super saiyan looks like, that was never going to happen.

Toriyama had pretty much nothing to do with the plotting of GT, though. He did a few early designs but was otherwise hands off with the series.
I just rewatched the entire first episode which has her first appearance in GT.
She has a date where she is going to see a movie, robbers show up, and she takes out the robbers.
The only strength-releated statement I saw was Goku giving a compliment on how strong Pan is. Nothing about Pan complaining how weak she is or wanting a normal life.
I totally saw that!! it was carbon copy of Goku's experience. Higher (not known before) being training him so he can face an upcoming attack that, guess what, is already underway!
Funimation is soliciting questions from the Kanzenshuu community over the travesty that is the new Blu-Rays: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2013/11/07/funimation-dbz-blu-ray-info-call-community-questions/
Hey, Takao, is it true they are releasing a box set of all the films?
I'd pick it up, even though I don't like the films much. Although I surprisingly liked Movie 11 even though most disliked it, it was refreshing to see guys like Krillin and Mr. Satan in the main event role.

Smart to have everyone's favorite movie on the cover.
I like Movie 11.

I saw once when the released the dub and I don't remember anything about it.
Are the movies 4:3?

My least favourite is Bojack Unbound, mainly because its the usual "Gohan sits there like a bitch and does nothing until Goku has to come and hold his hand"
Also I think the movies are 16:9 and were originally 16:9. I'm sure Takao would know.

The original releases were but the remastered versions aren't. It doesn't really matter in this case though since, unlike the series, they were actually framed for a widescreen ratio and were shown that way in Japan despite being animated in 4:3.

I meant for this new release.
I prefer them 4:3, 16:9 just looks wrong for older Dragon Ball stuff, even if it was originally presented in it.

It's presumably just a repackaging of the remastered releases, so no. They'll be 16:9.

You were looking for the wrong statement. She complains that she's too strong after stopping the robbers, which implies that she wants a normal life.
All that means is that she's looking for a good-challenge, a trait she must likely inherited from Goku.
Somebody from funi seems to be a fan of znes.
that honestly looks fine to me... Man, considering how much I still watch that show at random... I should really get a copy of those orange box dvd's. I need my bruce falconeer. DBZ is not the same without the ginyu force theme, or gohan vs frieza.
Are you referring to the English dub's music? If so, you can just watch it with the JP bgm on the newer discs.
Look at the shadows on the Saibamen. It's not supposed to be a solid black like it is in the new release. The orange bricks are truly horrific at times:
first thing I thought of :lol
I live right beside a Costco, may need to check this out... I don't own many of the movies.
