Influences that GT had on canon DB

[Papasmurf]

There are obviously some GT-influenced parts of the current canon, particularly in the ToP with that Luud ripoff Hakaishin and the Tsufurians and Machine Mutant ripoffs that fused to become Anilaza. Aside from them, what do you think were aspects of canon that were influenced by GT?

I think the Pilaf crew being de-aged, while being something that does indeed invalidate GT's hopes for achieving canon status, might have been influenced by the deaging of Galu at the start of GT. Another thing I'd consider to be something possibly inspired by GT would be that the final message at the end of the series when Galu takes off with Oob originally said that the Earth has nothing to worry about with the Dragon Balls being around, but the Kanzenban version instead writes that the Earth has some pretty awesome guys, so there is nothing to worry about. Since about the only thing in the Boo arc that makes abusing Dragon Balls look dangerous was a cryptic warning by Elder Kaioshin, I think the existence of the EVil Dragons arc might have possibly inspired this change.

There are the non-canon Tsufurians from Dragon Ball Heroes, but they don't count, of course.

Toei's official website also states one of the Universe 2 fighters is a Tsufurian, making it apparent they're not forgotten within Super, though that alone doesn't count when GT didn't invent them. It's also worth mentioning the Pilaf trio's aged selves in the manga bonus chapter is identical to their GT designs.

Aside from the examples you mentioned, most of GT's influences in Super are mainly some minor similarities, such as Broly's ikari form having yellow eyes similar to SS4 Galu (both being embodiments of Oozaru power in a humanoid form to different extents), Hit's role in the plot basically being a more relevant version of Redjic and the Namekians being the ones to originally create the DBs being retconned (GT implies this with Popo saying an Evil Dragon destroyed a few galaxies in the past).

Speaking of this Evil Dragon, why were he/they weaker than Yi Xing Long, I wonder? Seeing as it was stated that Super Yi Xing Long's minus energy would corrode the universe and reach the Kaioshinkai and not just a galaxy or two.

Either this dragon was stopped by the l33t pre-Moro Dai Kaioshin, or the set of Dragon Balls used to create him was weaker than Dende's set?

Was Bulla/Bra named in EoZ?

Most likely, Yi Xing Long was more powerful from the Dragon Balls used being weaker than Dende's or from the wishes creating it requiring less power than ones such as reviving hundreds of people at once. That being the case, it's possible the Dragon accidentally killed itself when destroying multiple galaxies at once.

GT used the "God of Destruction" title first.

Android 17. Not even Tori/Toyo can make that character interesting at all. Dude has a charisma vacuum.
