Dragon Ball tangled web of “official” storylines is as chaotic as Goku post-training fridge raids. With manga, anime, movies, and spin-offs piling up over decades, the line between “canon” and “filler” feels blurrier than Vegeta patience with Kakarot. But here’s the kicker: Dragon Ball GT—the underdog sequel often left in Super’s shadow—could easily reclaim its spot in the official universe. How? Let’s dive into the multiverse madness.

Why Dragon Ball GT Deserves a Spot in the Multiverse

Let’s get one thing straight: Dragon Ball GT wasn’t always the black sheep. When it debuted in 1996, it was the definitive sequel to Dragon Ball Z—at least for anime fans. But here’s the twist: the original DBZ anime itself wasn’t a carbon copy of Akira Toriyama manga. From filler arcs to power-up tweaks, the anime carved its own path. GT simply followed that tradition.

Fast-forward to today, and Dragon Ball Super has muddied the waters further. Super’s anime and manga split into two different timelines, proving the series thrives on alternate realities. If Super can juggle multiple canons, why can’t GT? The answer lies in embracing the Dragon Ball multiverse—a concept already teased in the Cell Saga and fleshed out in games like Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

Imagine this: every adaptation—manga, anime, movies, even GT—gets its own timeline. No more debates. No more “erased” stories. Just parallel universes where Goku’s adventures unfold differently. Toriyama’s upcoming Dragon Ball DAIMA could even wink at this idea, tying all versions together without messy contradictions.

A Dream Crossover: Super Meets GT (And Fans Win)

Sure, a timeline chart in the next manga volume could settle the canon debate. But where’s the fun in that? Let’s go bigger: a Dragon Ball Super x GT movie packed with nostalgia, jaw-dropping fights, and character clashes only the multiverse could deliver.

Picture this:

• Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta vs. Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta – A battle of styles: raw primal power vs. godly precision.
• GT Goku (the wise mentor) vs. Super Goku (the lovable goofball) – Think “serious big brother vs. hyperactive little brother fighting over the last dumpling.”
• Vegeta’s ego clash – Super’s fiercely competitive prince baffled by GT Vegeta’s chill, family-first vibe.

But it’s not all punches and power-ups. Imagine GT Gohan side-eyeing Super Gohan’s flashy “Beast” form, or Pan roasting her GT counterpart for being… well, GT Pan. Even Broly could stumble into the chaos, wondering why he’s the only version without a GT twin.

How to Make It Work: Story Over Spectacle

Crossovers like Super Dragon Ball Heroes gave us cool fights but skimped on story. A Super x GT movie needs heart. Here’s a recipe:

1. Villain with a Twist: Bring back a fan-favorite non-canon baddie like Demigra (from Xenoverse) to warp timelines, forcing heroes to team up.
2. Stakes with Soul: Explore regret. Maybe GT’s older Trunks meets Super’s timeline-hopping Trunks, sparking a “what could’ve been” moment.
3. DAIMA Cameo: Drop a post-credits scene where the kid-sized DAIMA crew crash-lands post-battle, clueless but curious.

Canon Isn’t King – Legacy Is

Let’s be real: Dragon Ball’s magic isn’t about rigid timelines. It’s about Goku’s grin, Vegeta’s pride, and fans arguing over power levels at 2 a.m. By embracing the multiverse, Toriyama could honor every era of Dragon Ball—manga purists, GT stans, and Super newbies alike.

After all, if Spider-Man can have three Peter Parkers and a pig, why can’t Goku have a dozen timelines? Let’s retire the canon wars and celebrate the chaos. Because at the end of the day, every Dragon Ball story deserves a victory lap.
