Thanks so much @Silrian and @BigDeano!! My old username is zofnok, btw.
It's a bummer about the Nappa and Shenron figures -.- I'm still hoping they change their minds on Nappa. Also, I loved GT! I know people don't consider it cannon, but it was an amazing adventure of Goku and his friends through space! I loved every part of GT. Especially the main villains, 17, Omega, and Baby.
I know that BOG may negate the GT series, but I'm hoping it doesn't. There's also that movie, '100 years later' which is basically a continuation of GT. Not to mention the GT colored manga that's being released in Japan soon. I'll remain optimistic when it comes to GT, I think there's hope for it
Thanks again!
Welcome back sir! I've warmed up a lot to GT. I still haven't watched it fully, because I don't enjoy a lot of the early stuff, well and the later stuff. I'm mixed! I really don't think Battle of Gods negates it. Whatever is in the manga is the canon story and GT isn't part of his story, but it doesn't have to negate it from the anime's canon. GT is just a side story, so if you were hungry for more, great, if not, it's a continuation, so you can stop where you like. My favorite arc in the anime, is the Boo arc, and stuff that was not canon to Toriyama's work, made it my favorite arc. In the manga, the Boo arc is my least favorite arc in all of Dragon Ball and my Cell arc is my favorite, so I'd rather stick with Toei's work! In the manga, some of my favorite scenes like the whole Saiyaman saga, Goku meeting Goten, Goten and Trunks hijinks during the tournament, Majin Vegeta vs Goku, Mystic Gohan vs Super Boo, and scenes with Vegeto, epilogue with Goku spending time with his family and Pan were so short, that they have little impact. I'm gone on here saying how much I love the the fat Boo, and the various Piccolo fused forms of Boo, but in the manga, everything I liked about them is absent. The epic Spirit Ball scene of all the Z warriors trying to get Earth's people to help, and them tragically ignoring their pleas, is also absent! The only fight that is that is as long as it is in the anime is with Gotenks, and I don't like him, so it bored me. I still loved a lot of it and it does a lot of things better than the anime, like Piccolo basically being the coolest in the manga, but it's my least favorite. Luckily KAI keeps a lot of filler in and it's a great hybrid of the japanese and english anime, with Goku much more likeable, so I'm still looking forward to it. So just go with what you love! I personally like the Funimation dub for the Goku, Red Ribbon army arcs best, the original Japanese for the Piccolo arc, the manga for the Saiyan arc, the English KAI for the Freeza arc, the manga for the Cell arc, the Funimation dub for the Boo arc, and the Japanese for GT, so I'm all over the place! I'm glad GT exists and I love SSJ4 Goku and would buy a figuarts version no question!
And guys, when we had are GT discussion, I should have brought up Bebi, because he is a great villain! If anyone argued him being the best, I could not disagree. Great back story being a Tsufrian, had a full mystery and twist behind who was pulling the strings with the whole cult organization to power him with their souls, awesome switcharoo with him being the one to be using Dr. Myu, a personal relationship with the heroes, turned all their friends and family against them, brought out an evil scientist Bulma, used the Dragonballs to create another planet, came very close to completing his goal to re-create Planet Plant, and if it wasn't for Piccolo sacrificing himself so Goku could use his instant transformation, he would have killed Goku and many of the humans left behind.
Freeza is my favorite, but I got to give Bebi props! If it wasn't for the surrounding stuff, he might be my second favorite villain.
