The two immediately head to find Earth's Greatest Power and come across Goten, whom they nearly kill and cause a great shockwave around the whole planet. Meanwhile, 2 Space Pods have landed in a wasteland, with the Western Supreme Kai emerging with her son, Xicor. As Papayaman is praised by the citizens, Goten finds a survey that shows the town's "Top 100" favorite superheroes (in which we can see many characters from various Akira Toriyama's works), and finds himself being their least favorite. Before Goten can do anything, a new superhero, Papayaman (actually Uub) arrives and easily dispatches of him. When a scuffle happens in the nearby city, Goten checks it out and transforms to his Saiyaman state, finding Emperor Pilaf, Shu, and Mai doing a stick-up. Goten attends Orange Star University with his brother Gohan as his teacher and also as Great Saiyaman 3. Several years later, the world has been deprived of Goku and the Dragon Balls, but peace has been restored. Cooler also appears with Frieza and King Cold. Apparently, Western Supreme Kai created Frieza with King Cold to create the ultimate warrior, but seeing Frieza defeated, she begins her search to find the one who had done this, showing little concern with her son. Taking place after Dragon Ball GT, the story goes as far back to when Frieza was defeated by Vegeta, where it is revealed that Frieza's mother is the Western Supreme Kai (implying that she survived her battle with Majin Buu, despite being believed to have been killed).

It has since gained a cult following, been the basis for various fiction and manga interpretations by fans, and has even resulted in a dōjinshi series produced by a fan by the name Toyble, and another manga made by a fan by the name Young Jijii. Even when Super ’s dropping the ball with plot and character development, there’s almost always a slice of life episode around the corner to remind fans why they love Dragon Ball : the characters.Dragon Ball AF was the subject of an April Fool's joke in 1997 (following the end of Dragon Ball GT), which concerned a fourth anime installment of the Dragon Ball series. While the anime suffers narratively, not too unlike Dragon Ball GT, Super manages to ground itself better within the context of the series.
By the time the Tournament of Power hit, Dragon Ball Super seemed to be in legitimately good shape production-wise. Starting with the Goku Black arc, however, Super managed to bring in a good bit of Dragon Ball Z ’s tension. Plagued by scheduling problems, DBS ’ early run was quite lousy and a disappointment to many fans. Still, Dragon Ball Super is quite an interesting series in its own right. The anime is been done for quite a while now, and, while we’ve had more canon animated content in the form of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, the manga has essentially taken the reins of the DBS brand for the time being. No one could have possibly expected for Dragon Ball Super to suddenly end with the Tournament of Power, yet, here we are. Uninspired, derivative, and generally filled with lackluster fight choreography, Dragon Ball GT was a lousy note to end the series’ anime continuity on. It perhaps goes without saying, but Dragon Ball GT was fairly unpopular and remains widely disliked within the fandom, even if its reputation has improved slightly within recent years.

The last episode of DBZ even transitions directly into the first episode of GT with a next episode preview at the end of the former. Toei’s original animated canon for Dragon Ball consisted of the first Dragon Ball adaptation, Dragon Ball Z, and finally Dragon Ball GT. It’s worth noting that while GT is not canon to the main series, it is canon to the original anime’s continuity. Completely rooted in new material, GT would be an anime-only follow-up to the anime. In spite of the series’ decreasing popularity following the end of the manga, Toei went ahead with one last sequel series: Dragon Ball GT. Akira Toriyama may have been done with Dragon Ball by the end of the Buu arc, but Toei still wanted to milk the dragon for what it was worth.
