(More customer reviews)This box contains the final episodes of Dragon Ball GT. These episodes are known as the Shadow Dragon Saga. I am a huge fan of Dragon Ball, Z, and even GT. I don't like Gt as much as the other two mainly because of the horrible musical score and holes in the storylines, however my one exception to the bad storylines is in this saga.
Ever since Goku met Bulma all those years ago they gathered Dragon Balls and made wishes. Although the wishes were almost always for positive things, negative energy was introduced into the world and was stored inside the Dragon Balls themselves. In the Kid Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z, Elder Kai warns Goku and Vegeta not to use the Dragon Balls because they could upset the natural evolution of the universe. Partly due to this fact, this storyline in Dragon Ball GT is acceptable. They were already hinting at this in Dragon Ball Z.
The idea of the ultimate good becoming your worst enemy is brilliant. Because the humans relied so heavily upon the Dragon Balls, the negative energy inside of them was released in the form of a Black Dragon. This Dragon thus creates Seven Dragons each created from a specific wish. This is the one hole I can't tolerate in this storyline, each Dragon was only made from one wish, but they completely skip over some wishes such as reviving the humans after the Cell Games.
Still, despite this the Shadow Dragons themselves are entertaining and the fights are good even if they are mostly centered around Goku. When only one Shadow Dragon remains, he absorbs all the other Dragon Balls to create the most powerful villain in Dragon Ball histroy. All is not lost however because with help from Bulma, Vegeta has ascended to Super Saiyan 4. Can our heros stop this final evil from destroying the universe?
In the end, Goku vows that the earth will from now on get by without having to use the Dragon Balls. A final scene where Shenron appears without being summoned was absolutely wonderful in the dubbed. He says that the true beauty of the Dragon Balls was knowing that you lived in a world where you didn't have to use them.
Then the Dragon Ball storyline ends with a glimpse into the future as an elderly Pan watches her grandson, Goku Jr., and Vegeta Jr. fight it out at the World Martial Arts Tournament as Super Saiyans. At the Tournament there is a gigantic statue of Goku symbolizing all of his noble deeds. Suddenly Pan thinks she actually sees Goku watching the fight, but never actually sees him. The last scene of the story shows Goku walking away and clips of how our heros destroyed every villain including Frieza, Cell, and Kid Buu.
So that's it for the Dragon Ball storyline. It was a wonderful ride and it changed my life. I love the shows and in my opinion this is the greatest anime ever. I'll wrap up with the final episode title of the show by saying, Until We Meet Again!
