This July 5 marks seven years since the anime of Dragon Ball Super was broadcast for the first time. As you may know, this new story is the canonical continuation of the events we saw in Z. With a line spanning from the end of Buu’s saga to the tournament where Goku met Uub.
Even though it’s the continuation that Akira Toriyama wanted for his story, many continue to consider GT as the true successor. taking advantage of the anniversary of Dragon Ball Super we began to think about which of this pair of animes from dragon ball is the best. The one that gave us the powerful Super Saiyan 4 or the one that introduced us to Ultra Instinct?
Both Dragon Ball Super and GT feel new, but with some familiarity
Being honest, the plot of dragon ball It was never one that left you thinking for a long time. She is almost always distilled in simple steps. A new very powerful enemy appears, the z warriors join to fight him and Goku takes out a new power to face him. This remains relatively the same in both Super like in GT.
Nevertheless, both sequels did try to make at least one change in their scenarios. GT he left for a return to look for the dragon balls, but for different galaxies. Superfor its part, introduced us to new rivals from different universes and battles in alternate time lines.

Here it could be broken into tastes, but personally it seems to us that GT it was the continuation that tried more new things. Traveling through the universe gave him a sense of adventure again while allowing him to introduce colorful settings and slightly more varied stories.. Although we admit that his execution was not the best.
This is also reflected in the villains of Dragon Ball GT. We had from an alien who wants revenge (just like Granola) to malevolent dragons that emerged from the abuse of the spheres. Had creative villains that have endured in the memory of fans
Super introduced us to the gods, but its villains in general have not been very interesting. If anything we could consider Zamasu and Granola as the most interesting. Outside of them, the motivation for most is that they are simply very strong and used their power for evil. Not to mention that they rehashed Frieza and Broly. So point to GT.
Transformations are more significant in Super
An intrinsic part of dragon ball are their transformations. We are already used to the fact that every time Goku is in trouble, he brings out a new, more powerful transformation to defeat. In this aspect Super is ahead of GT. After all, the latter just introduced us to a new Super Saiyan and a fusion.
In Dragon Ball GT we had our introduction to Super Saiyan 4 in all its furry glory. This same transformation Vegeta also used it and together they gave us Gogeta in this phase. With these tools it was that they surpassed almost the entire duration of GT, without much variety.
Although many love the SSJ4 by design, Super He gave us more powerful transformations, varied and even with a background. Here you have the God, Blue, Rosé, Ultra Instinct and Mega Instinct. Although there are many complaints and ridicule because only the color is changed, we believe that there is thought behind it.

In Dragon Ball Super the transformations also serve to give Goku and Vegeta a little more identity. From the blue they have some differences, but there is nothing more evident than their different instincts. Its strongest statuses so far, which also take advantage of the personality of its users.
Mega Instinct is perfect for Vegeta’s aggressiveness and his more self-centered and angry nature. While the Ultra Instinct fits very well with the way Goku fights. This is a welcome difference and one that goes beyond a simple design change. Although we know that the SSJ4 has its defenders tooth and nail.
Dragon Ball nostalgia vs canon
So much Dragon Ball GT What Super They have their successes, but also many mistakes. In something that we can agree is that none manages to reach the heights of the original and Z. However, there is one very important point to keep in mind. Super is the true continuation devised by Akira Toriyama.
This fact already gives an extra to Dragon Ball Super as the favorite of the most puritanical followers of Goku. Maybe GT she is destined to always be seen as the black sheep of the franchise, but she will surely never be forgotten. Especially for his successes.
Despite its many mistakes, GT came to give us one of the best soundtracks of dragon ball. Not to mention that his ending touched the hearts of many fans who watched it back in the day. Listen My enchanted heart as we watch all the adventures we had with Goku it is very hard to beat.
Super it seems that he is not even halfway there, so he still has time to correct his path. Maybe when we get to the end of this part of dragon ball we can decide more easily. GT it earns points for nostalgia, but maybe the canon will get over it with a few more arcs. What is your favourite?
