And that's what I get for not paying attention. The beginning part sounded like the original one. Anyway, GT Rap:

[up][up][up][up] If it did, I want to listen to it.

[down][down][down][down][down]

"Step into da' grand tour. A brand new adventua' begins! Anudda challenge fa' Gokoo and his friends! He's a Saiyan - strong! Pilaf makes' him a child again, the dragon balls are turning, burnin' to end-

-the world and everything within! The ultimate battle between good and evil, who's gonna win? When the - sand clock dictates the consequence, will our heroes have the strength to be our LAST LINE OF DEFENSE??!!"

That English version of the original opening was done by Vic Mignogna, aka Broly.

Aaah, the GT opening. When you have a rap opening, you know it's going to be incredibly dated.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Wow that opening is terrible. It certainly didn't help the series.

The rapper reminds me of Jay-Z when he did Renegade with Eminem.

Vic Mignogia voiced Broly?

Yes.

And he regrets it every day of his life.

Because in every panel he ever does, there's someone who asks him to yell "KAKAROT". Every single time. And he's even talked about it on stage, about how much doing Broly murders his throat.

I like the original Japanese best of all, though. Not because it's the original, but because I really, really love the "KAKKAROOOTTOOOOOO!" yell.

Which is weird since you'd think he'd hurt his throat just as much with all the screaming fits Ed has over his size.

...If Shenron had turned Goku back into an adult and left, I would have liked GT's ending more than what I actually got.

I mean, that ending in the latin american version sounds great. Not gonna lie.

...Also, assuming that they cut the stuff with Goku and Vegeta Jr. entirely. Just entirely.

I mean, I like the idea of passing the torch, but there is so much of that I don't think I like.

I like that opening, for laughs if nothing else. I remember sitting up at night to catch GT, thinking Dragonball would go on forever.

I'll have to look up Japanese Broly now, too.

I can see why TFS uses this version. I think Rock the Dragon used better clips, but this song is fantastic.

Goku is hit. Everyone presumes him dead. Remember, they can feel ki, and yet they assumed he was dead, which leads me to assume he is dead. Then Goku comes out of the hole with a giant freaking Spirit Bomb. People start contributing to it. Goku contacts King Kai, and tells him "Hey, this shit ain't enough, need more", and King Kai goes "You got it", cue montage. Also, all through this, Goku is shrugging off all of Omega Shenron's attacks. Attacks which would've severely injured him as SSJ 4, killed him if he tanked them as a SSJ 3, let alone in base. Then he throws it, it hits, kills Omega Shenron and then Goku has a talk with Shenron, whereupon they pretty much agree that overuse of the Dragonballs was the cause and that they really shouldn't be used anymore to prevent another Omega Shenron from appearing. Goku negotiates with Shenron one last wish to return things to how they should be, and the Dragon Balls merge with his body, except the Four Star Dragon Ball, while he rides off with Shenron.

But that's almost exactly what happened in the English version, just without Goku coming ba-

You know what, fine, we're getting Dragonball Super anyway. I'm going to go look for Broly's Japanese voice. I wash my hands of this!

They didn't cut it. The ending of GT, IIRC, was written so it could lead to that, because that was written before the end to GT.

Here's Vic talking about Broly:

They could've had Goku and Vegeta Jr and just had Goku pass away naturally, then come back as the "spirit" of the Four Star Ball.

Weirder things have happened in Dragonball. The Dragonballs turned into evil, superpowered dragons for crying out loud.

There is nothing wrong with appreciating the fairer sex. If it is wrong then I don't want to be right. I'll let That Guy With The Glasses's reaction to the Mud Wrestling scene in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation speak for me.

I'd much rather an OVA based on King Vegeta than one inventing problems for Future Trunks to solve. There's a lot of saiyan history to consolidate into one cohesive backstory, and no better lens to see it through than that of the man that united the race.

That's a wonderful idea actually.

We've wasted so much time arguing about power levels and who is and isn't useless, that I'm annoyed no one ever thought of that.

Oh! How about some flashbacks about the different people that have challenged Baba in the past. It'd be great to see the Mummy, and the Vampire and good old Spike wrecking people's shit again.

A special that shows us more of the Supreme Kais before their fights with Buu (and maybe shows us a little more of West and North, who we still no very little about).

Or do, so it can change your opinion. Because Hideo Kojima likes doing weird things with the series that made him famous.
