The entire beginning of this series is kind of lame. Goku fights some alien type dudes but most of them are extremely weak and he's able to defeat them as a Super Sayian while in kid form. However, once the series starts going, it gets really good! I would say GT is amazing just because of the enemies that Goku fights near the end of the series.
The best part of GT, in my humble opinion, is the Baby saga. Baby is this robot mutant created by this evil doctor named Doctor Myuu. Baby kills Myuu and then proceeds to go after Goku. This is the hardest fight that Goku has ever faced at this point, even since Dragonball Z. Baby was way stronger then even Majinn Buu! Basically Baby's main power is that he can take over peoples' bodies and make them kind of do anything he wants. Eventually he takes over the entire Earth and turns them into his race, something called Truffles. He even takes over all the Sayians (Goten, Trunks, Gohan, and even Vegeta!). Once he takes over Vegeta he realizes he's at the peak of his powers and decides to use the dragonballs to re-create his Truffle planet that was killed years ago by King Vegeta and the Sayians of old. But eventually Goku comes to the rescue and has to take down this Baby. The Kai's decide that Goku isn't strong enough so they make him re-grow his tail the hard way; by using a giant pair of pliers and pulling his tail out of his rear end. It was pretty comical but effective. They did this because Goku's only chance of getting stronger was using his tail to become a Super Sayian four, the highest level of Super Sayian in any of the Dragonball series (but not in the Battle of the Gods or Resurrection of Freiza movies). Goku becomes a giant ape against Baby in the middle of their fight but goes on a rampage, almost destroying the entire Truffle planet (which had all the humans from Earth on it). Eventually Pan calms Goku down and he eventually transforms into a Super Sayian four, the peak of Super Sayian power! What's interesting is that he transforms as a kid but once he's Super Sayian four he's an adult again, with a fur coat, a tail, and long black hair; he looks super cool. In my opinion, this is the best looking Super Sayian form and the best. All is going well until Baby Vegeta (because he took over Vegeta's body) turns into a giant ape using something called bluntswaves from the moon, something that evil Bulma uses (he took over Bulma too) to help out Baby. This was the best fight in the series. It's hard to say exactly how Goku won because I've kind of forgotten a little bit. But from what I do remember it is a very close fight but in the end Goku annihilates him into the Sun using a Kamehameha wave.
The second best part of GT was when Goku had to fight Super Android 17. I'm still a bit confused on how there were two Android 17's and how they fused together to become Super Android 17 but I don't mind being a little clueless; after all this is just a cartoon. This fight is very intense and basically Goku loses this fight just because he's simply not strong enough, even at a Super Sayian four. He ends up only winning this fight because Super Android 17 was fighting within himself, the good side trying to stop the bad side from killing everyone. It was interesting seeing Goku get utterly destroyed in this fight. It was also cool how Super Android 17 looked. He had his classic look but he was bulkier, his hair was longer, and his clothes had a different flair to them. Android 18 was the last one to stand up to him but eventually Goku punches through Super Android 17's chest using an attack called Dragon Fist. It was brutal and awesome!
Finally, the last best part of GT was the last 20 episodes where Goku had to fight all of these dragons that were the evil contents from all of the dragonballs. At the end he fights this one super powerful dragon that uses all the dragonballs' power. His name was Omega Shenron and the fight against him was super fun, but trying at times because technically Goku could've killed him at some point and it would've been over with, but instead it just doesn't work like that. The horned guy in the picture is Omega Shenron, and that's Gogeta in the middle. In this fight Goku and Vegeta fuse as Super Sayian fours, becoming Gogeta! This fight could've been over when Gogeta used his fatal attack Big Bang Kamehameha but instead Gogeta is having fun at Omega's expense. But things turn bad when Gogeta's fusion time suddenly runs out, and Goku's left as a little kid again, and Vegeta's back to Super Sayian four. By the way, it was awesome seeing Vegeta turn into a Super Sayian four because for most of this series we don't get to see much fighting from him. Everything turns all bad and Omega's about to destroy the Earth, and pollute the entire galaxy with negative energy but then Goku tells Kai that he needs energy from all over the entire universe for his Spirit Bomb to be strong enough to destroy Omega. It was a great finishing move to end the series.
Lastly, I loved GT and it has a place in my heart with the rest of all my favorite anime. Even though most DBZ fans call it crap I actually loved it. The last episode was amazing and almost brought me to tears, it was so beautiful. In the final episode we see Goku JR (Goku's great grandson) and Vegeta JR (Vegeta's great grandson) duke it out at the World Martial Arts Tournament. Vegeta JR says to Goku JR,"what are you wearing rags?" and then Goku JR (in the exact same cool manner as Goku),"they're not rags Vegeta, these happen to be the clothes of my great ancestor". It was awesome hearing him say that. Then they start fighting and they're amazing. Eventually Vegeta JR turns Super Sayian and Goku JR does the same. Vegeta JR makes a comment about how he didn't know they could both go blonde, and says,"This is gonna be a good fight". It was just awesome. If anyone is debating whether they should watch GT or not (basically because its not canon), I would say they definitely should. The good thing about it is that it is super old and I watched every single episode on YouTube. Its very easy to find and the series gets good right in the middle and stays super exciting until the very end. The cool thing about this was that I finished this series on the same day that I saw Resurrection of Freiza. I'm thinking about the next anime I'm going to watch next. I'm thinking I'll start watching Yu Yu Hakasho. My friends seem to like it so I'll probably give it a shot soon. What are some anime that you all watch? Let me know in the comments.
