It's an unofficial sequel, made by the animation studio. It has too many plot holes to be canon. For example, Vegeta grew a mustache, but he said in DBZ that Saiya-jin's hair doesn't ever change after they are born. Gohan's mystic powerup went away for no reason. Pilaf and his assistants were resurrected without any explanation. The black star dragonballs were never mentioned before and just appeared out of nowhere. Goku's tail grew back after it had been surgically removed. Etc.
The fact is that the writers ignored continuity and never gave any explanation for it. Toriyama didn't write the story, he only contributed character designs.
Lets get a few facts in order. Toei dominantly wrote Dragonball GT. Thats not a secret. So whatever "hidden knoweldge" you think you've unleashed was actually plain as day.
Second, thier is no "authority" in determining whats cannon except the original creator himself. Akira Toriyama has NOT ONCE, publicly or even privately declared that Dbzgt, was not cannon. Also, the show itself gives us no reason to believe that the show was not cannon. It continues where DBZ left off, the characters dont have wildly different personalities as we do find in "alternate takes" of popular shows/comics etc.
And you say because it has discreprencys that its not cannon? is that your best argument? Based off of a set of rules that apparently only you know about? Do you see what your typeing? Why would a discrepency invalidate a Television show? IN that case, half of the transformers series shuoldent even exist and Megatron should be an Autobot. It just means the writers didnt do thier homework, or were lazy.
So ill leave it at this. Theris no reason to convince you that GT is cannon, because it is. You dont have to believe it, you are also welcome to not believe in a slew of other facts such as gravity, Rainfall, and house-pets.
GT is cannon, their is not a SINGLE, NOT ONE, shard of evidence from the creator that implies otherwise. Especially, when the "golden rule of cannon" was made up by Endless Mike on the KMC forums.
And that doesn't automatically make it canon by default. In fact it's non - canon until proven otherwise, or else any random movie/special/video game would be canon unless he said it wasn't.
Really? Picollo acts like an idiot instead of intelligent (attacking Baby up front for no reason while he is weaker), Goku acts like an idiot and a little kid (even though he was turned into a little kid he still has the mind of an adult), etc.
Nothing declares it is canon.
Obviously. Toriyama wasn't even involved in the story, so in order for it to be canon, he or someone representing him would have to state for it to be canon.
Except those can be independently verified. GT's canonicty cannot. 99% of DBZ fans I've met do not accept GT as canon.
Burden of proof is always on the positive.
It's called simple logic. I don't need to prove a negative, you need to prove the positive.
P.s mike i apologize if any of my posts sounded harsh/antagonizeing
clearly we have a different opinion in this matter
but nothing i said was directed at you, rather the heated subject
if that makes any sense
Or just destroys him. Superman has no guilt in destroying non living things.
