|
Also known as Baby Saga, this is the second story arc in Dragon Ball GT and also the longest of the GT series, continuing from the Black Star DragonBall Saga and later followed by Super Android 17 Saga. This saga is the main point of the series, where the creators tried to bring back Japanese DragonballZ fans, with a more action-heavy tone rather than their earlier attempt to create a comical advenuture akin to Dragon Ball.
Outline
The first half of this arc has our heroes arriving on the supposedly deserted planet M2 as they continue on their quest for the Black Star Dragonballs. However, they find themselves caught in a trap by the planet inhabitants, mutant robots, and that Giru was deceving them all along. Pan manages to escape and later rescues Goku who does battle with the robotic group of commandos known as the Mega Canon Sigma Force and their leader General Rildo (General Lock in the Japan version). However, both he and Pan are captured again and taken to Doctor Myuu for studying. Giru has a change of heart though and manages to rescue the trio thanks to a clever plan by Trunks. It is then that we see Myuu's true creation, Bebi, who breaks free from his containment after being revived but stopped by the three Sayains. However, as a defeated and injured Myuu escapes, a piece of Bebi scattered remains jumps onto his skin, later busting out of Myuu and reforming into his original state. Bebi tries two more times to kill Goku, Pan and Trunks but fails though he manages to escape to Earth.
This is where the second half begins, as Bebi begins to spread his infection across the planet and growing. He soons runs into Goten and takes over his body, then Gohan before finally fighting Vegeta and making his body his permanent host. Goku, Pan and Trunks arrive back on Earth only to find everyone, even their own family, against them due to Bebi's mind control (save for Buu, who skin is immune to Bebi's eggs and Mr. Satan who hid within Buu). Goku confonts Bebi but his kid body isn't powerful enough to reach the levels needed to beat Bebi who gains more power from Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Bra and the rest of the world, and thus is beaten and nearly killed if not for Kibito Kai rescuing him at the last mintue. Bebi then goes to use the Black Star Dragonballs to wish for new planet, Truffle, and begins to move all his mind controlled subjects to it.
While on the other plane, Goku is accidentally dropped into a weird diminsion where he must play for his life. After escaping from that and arriving on the Kai planet, he begins special training needed to regrow his tail (since it was his power source when was a kid) but the process is sped up once Goku sees his student Uub taking a beating from Bebi. Goku is then transported to the Truffle planet and tries out his power. Becoming a gold colored Oozaru but goes on a rampage since he can't control himself in that form. It isn't until Pan confronts him and pours her heart out to him that Goku is able to reach the next and final level of transformation, Super Sayian 4! Goku pounds on and almost defeat Bebi, but the villan gets away and get assistance from the mind controlled Bulma when she creates a device that allows him to increase his power. While this is going on, Old Kai finds a way to get rid of the infection from a special water in the lookout point and sends Kibito Kai to fetch it and frees Trunks, Goten and Gohan. Meanwhile Bebi himself becomes a Oozaru but before the process to the next level is complete and he can finish a power depleted Goku. Uub (who was eaten thanks to a attack thrown back at him) attacks from the inside of his stomach while the freed Sayians take their shots at Bebi. He smacks them away but Goku mangages to cut off Bebi's tail, taking away his power. Severly weaken, Bebi leaves Vegeta's body and tries to escape in a spaceship. But Goku blast it with a Kamehameha Wave, directing it into the sun and killing Bebi for good.
However the crisis is not over. While everyone is freed from the infection, The second wish on the BS Dragonballs increased Earth's countdown destruction. However Goku comes up with a plan to move anybody left on Earth to the Truffle planet. With the help of his family, friends and the Kais' they manage to pull it off. Yet Piccolo decides to stay behind as his death would void the power of the Black Star Dragonballs and keep them from being used again. Gohan wishes him goodbye as the Earth explodes. Goku then uses the Namek's dragonballs to wish Earth back to normal and everybody back on it. Finally closing out this arc before moving onto the Super Android 17 Saga.
