Like all Dragon Ball-ish things, weird things happen up till the end-but I thougth this was a very touching way to end the series. Vegeta, who saw through Goku's lie, tells her to keep the dougi as a precious item. Then after Goku leaves with Shenron, Pan finds Goku's tattered blue dougi on the ground-although the Goku that left with Shenron had his blue dougi on. It seems as though Vegeta realizes some shocking truth ("*gasp*, wait, you.") but Goku cuts him off and motions for him to keep quiet. The second-and huge-hint is Vegeta's reaction when Goku is just about to leave with Shenron. that he is leaving for training, but I think there's good reason to suspect that he's telling a kind lie. (Pan makes the comment that grandfather looks like a god-that was a hint).Īfter the fight is over, the first hint that something is not quite right is given when Shenron tells Goku that "his time is up" and they have to leave, and Goku acts as though he knows what Shenron is getting at. The Goku we saw making the finishing blow (genkidama-spirit ball?) is most probably some sort of ressurected being. Frieza Race) Trunks (Future)/Trunks Trunks (GT) Goku Goku (Super Saiyan. Nothing is made explicit, but the Goku probably died in the attack that created the massive crater in the Earth. Honestly, I did not like the Dragon Ball Z Majin Buu Saga when I read the manga. I watched the original Japanese version so I'm not sure whether there were any changes or lost nuances with the dub version, but in the original it's clearly implied that Goku actually died during the last fight.
True that many things about GT were pretty disappointing, but I just wanted to clarify something about the ending when Goku appears to leave his family for the sake of training yet again.
