As someone who didn't enjoy GT, I enjoyed this. If I were in charge of the GT project I would have done something similar to this. This anime has a "Dragon Ball" feel to it as instead of having an extremely strong protagonist we have a child who goes on an adventure. (Just like in Dragon Ball). I found the main character to be quite likable as he reminded me of Goku, with how caring he is. The color pallet gives the show a nice bright look, just like what you would see in GT. Which of course fits this show really well as this adventure isn'tas serious as the Dragon Ball Z series was. Goku.JR has the same voice actor as Goku and Gohan as kids(in the english dub). Which I honestly don't get, but I like the voice any way as I am quite used to it.

Now, i know alot of people dont like GT or how it ended, but this movie did GT alot of justice. This ending is THE BEST anime ending i think i have ever seen, its a cute story with Goku Jr. and his pal adventuring around. It has ALOT of emotion and feels almost too satisfying with how this movie ended compared to the GT series. The thing that makes this so good is that the MC isnt overpowered and has to overcome many things, it almost has an OG dragon ball feel to it. I believe that if you are a Dragon ball fan, thisis a must watch, i and i can guarantee you wont regret it.

I think a lot of people are disappointed by this because it's not what they were expecting - a Goku clone getting physically stronger, punching up his rival, and reaching the 99th level of Super Saiyan. Yes, we could have seen this and been content with it, but it would be nothing special - perhaps even boring. It would be unnecessarily prolonging the story and rehashing the same old things we've seen before. This story is perhaps the most human and relatable story we could have gotten from the franchise. It's all about a young boy growing into a man by gaining confidence and shruggingoff his anxieties to do the right thing in the face of danger. Goku Jr is probably the most relatable Dragonball character. He is nothing like Goku at all with a fighting fetish. He's not aware of his hidden power; he is frightened of bullies, and he holds a lot of anxieties about living up to the Goku name. When Pan falls ill, she gives him a life lesson: strength isn't about having power, but the ability to do the right thing in the face of fear. Goku Jr reacts to this by running off crying, but is inspired when he is alone and depressed and sees pictures of Pan and remembers her stories about Goku. He goes through a little change and gathers up strength to find the Dragonball (he thinks you only need the 4-Star ball) to save Pan. His newfound mission earns the respect of his bullies, and he goes on a journey with one of them to Mount Paozu, facing several adversaries such as thieves and monsters. There's a wonderful scene where Goku Jr sees his friend fall off a cliff because the young Saiyan was too afraid to act - a consequence of his fear preventing him to do the right thing. Again, he is alone and depressed, but ends up protecting a bear by standing strong in the face of fear, channeling his inner strength, and putting faith in his abilities. The ending is a great touch too he finds out he can't make the wish because he only has one Dragonball and we see all the built up frustration burst out, but a familiar face comes around and gives him some reassurance, which is a very tear-jerking scene.

I mostly like a lot of things Dragon ball related in general but I do feel A Hero's Legacy is sort of a forgotten relative within the franchise. I actually think this was a pretty good special that had some good aspects about it like it's story about this Goku looking child who is the grandson of Pan. Pan obtained a illness and Goku Jr has to find out about the Dragon Balls being something he remembers knowing about from his grandmother Pan. We don't know his Father/Mother all we know is that he is part of the Son Family. I like Goku Jr a lot, Heis a timid and shy child who doesn't want to fight most of the time and was picked on and bullied by those his age and mostly wanted no trouble. But keep in mind that Goku Jr hardly has any Saiyan genes, and that he hasn't trained much but he still has Saiyan blood in his DNA that lies a Saiyan trait is deep within him like any other Saiyan even if he is mostly a novice when it comes to battle but that's why I found him relatable. He starts learning things the hard way even for a small child. The special is mostly about trying to overcome personal obstacles at heart While trying to uncover a spark of bravery to live up to his Saiyan ancestor such as Son Goku as well as rising above past events, not just a typical underdog story but finding a sense of connection during tough periods of time which you see from Goku jr along with unlikely company in Puck who is another good character in this. The villains are mostly forgetful but they do harken back to some traditional enemies we had in the past of dragon ball which in turn benefits Goku Jr's first outing into unknown horizons. Some parts are left ambiguous for the viewers while watching this since this takes place far into the future of Dragon ball GT. The artwork is really nice and the soundtrack is great. The Ending of this is also a really good one as well that honestly makes watching this worth it.

Dragon Ball GT Special Goku Jr is for some reason advertised or sold as a movie in some countries. It's a story taking place 100 years in the future after Baby's defeat and focuses on Pan's grandson Goku Jr. A timid boy who gets bullied at school and can't defend himself for shit. One day Pan gets ill to a dangerous degree and is hospitalized to the point he builds up courage to hunt for a Dragon Ball which suppose to be on Mount Paozu. On his way he and one of his bullies have to overcome challenges such escaping from witch. It is very adventure focusedand about learning independently. Goku Jr has not only learn to overcome his fears but also stop believing everyone. Puck may be an interesting character for the story but not someone who would want to see when you watch Dragon Ball. While he is Goku Jr's bully, he admires Pan. When he saw Goku Jr overcome his fear in one scene, he felt like helping him out with life advices. Those making him more than just a kid who uses his power to get what he wants. The enemies aren't very striking and more comic relief. Mamba is a crafty witch. Her henchmen have personality but are rather forgettable since they don't do much. During the special, Goku also awakens some weird power from time to time like any hybrid Saiyan. There is a certain mystery around it that may let you guess what is going on and at some point it seems like he is a completely different person. Depending on how you take it, it can ruin you the experience or not. While the final fight isn't anything impressive after what we have seen so far, it has some satisfaction. Animation and music is great. The quality does fit the movie standard and I did enjoy quiet a bit of it. Criticism is probably for people who this movie isn't for. This isn't your average Dragon Ball Special with a slice of life story or action packed continuation with people fighting using planet scattering punches. Especially since the final bad guy can be held at bay by an adult bear. Even compared to someone like Tao Pai Pai they don't feel like a threat. While there is comedy, it isn't the type of humor you are used to from Dragon Ball, Z or GT. And if so, they aren't funny to the level you would look back at the jokes with Master Roshi or Oolong. Nor are the characters as oblivious nor live under a rock like Goku at the start of the franchise. And the final antagonist is some generic badguy that appears out of nowhere as a final boss taking away from the challenge to beat Mamba and her goons. Lastly the ending is kinda making this adventure feel pointless, unless you see it as a reward for Goku Jr overcoming his fear and the mystical things happening when he finds the 4-Star Dragon Ball. Overall, it is a good movie for what it is. But if you want high stake fights and clashes that blow up the environment, or the clash between ideas of characters... probably skip this.

It didn't win me over enough for me to recommend it. The idea of ​​bringing Pan's grandson as the protagonist might sound interesting to some people, especially those who like to see new generations taking center stage. However, for me, it simply didn't work. I found the premise bland, lacking impact, and completely devoid of the charisma needed to sustain something bearing the Dragon Ball name. If it were just a random special, something made to fill space or to commemorate a specific date, it might even work. But as part of something that tries to position itself within the main universe, it's impossible. I don'tfind anything truly innovative here; in fact, the feeling is quite the opposite: an almost literal repetition of the beginning of classic Dragon Ball. Even the fact that Pan's grandson has the same name as Goku reinforces this feeling of recycling, as if they decided to copy the original structure without adding anything new. The animation, on the other hand, is good and fulfills its role without compromising. It's competent, works visually, and technically, there's nothing that really detracts from the experience. But, at the same time, it doesn't save the rest. It's like a beautifully presented but tasteless dish: pretty to look at, but unable to compensate for the lack of content that truly captivates the viewer. In the end, my relationship with classic Dragon Ball was never the best, and since this is practically a blatant copy of that phase of the series, it was inevitable that I wouldn't like it. My final score is a 5 — and, honestly, it's only not lower because, being short and lacking a great villain or a complex plot, it ends up working as extra content to pass the time. Even so, while it's watchable without suffering, I don't recommend it. In my eyes, this simply isn't Dragon Ball. =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== Não me comprou o suficiente para eu recomendar. A ideia de trazer o neto da Pan como protagonista poderia até soar interessante para algumas pessoas, especialmente para quem gosta de ver novas gerações assumindo o centro da história. No entanto, para mim, isso simplesmente não funcionou. Achei a proposta sem graça, sem impacto e totalmente sem o carisma necessário para sustentar algo que carregue o nome Dragon Ball. Se fosse apenas um especial aleatório, algo feito para preencher espaço ou para comemorar alguma data específica, talvez até funcionasse. Mas como parte de algo que tenta se posicionar dentro do universo principal, não tem como. Não encontro nada de realmente inovador aqui, na verdade, o sentimento é justamente o contrário: uma repetição quase literal do início de Dragon Ball clássico. Até o fato de o neto da Pan ter o mesmo nome do Goku reforça essa sensação de reciclagem, como se tivessem decidido copiar a estrutura original sem acrescentar nada de novo. A animação, por outro lado, é boa e cumpre o seu papel sem comprometer. É competente, funciona visualmente e, tecnicamente, não há nada que realmente prejudique a experiência. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, não salva o restante. É como um prato bem apresentado mas sem sabor: bonito de ver, mas incapaz de compensar a falta de conteúdo que realmente prenda o espectador. No fim, minha relação com o Dragon Ball clássico nunca foi das melhores, e como isso aqui é praticamente uma cópia descarada daquela fase da obra, era inevitável que eu não fosse gostar. Minha nota final é um 4 — e, sinceramente, só não é menor porque, por ser curto e não ter um grande vilão ou uma trama complexa, acaba funcionando como um conteúdo extra para passar o tempo. Ainda assim, por mais que dê para assistir sem sofrimento, eu não recomendo. Aos meus olhos, isso aqui simplesmente não é Dragon Ball.

A very good coda of the perfect ending of the masterpiece with a capital M going by the name of Kamen Rider Geats...sorry, I mean Dragon Ball GT (because yes, the DB Super and Daima animator and Kamen Rider writer Yuya Takahashi copied 1:1 the ending of Dragon Ball GT in KR Geats, in case you're wondering. Both of which are Masterpieces of the same kind) which is very entertaining, well written and on the point with the previous DB iterations, particularly what the older version of my main waifu (main waifu in Loli form ONLY) Pan says to the torch bearer of Son Goku'slegacy is very reminescent of what the main protagonist of the entire IP experienced in DBZ. The animation is good, the OST is good, the voice acting by Masako Nozawa and all the other seiyuus is great as usual, there's not really much to complain except maybe that is not 100% as good as the main series, but still highly recommended nonetheless and it's better, more entertaining and more emotional than a whole slew of crappy DBZ movies by a mile. Recommended as a companion of episode 20 of the indonesian Kamen Rider Black mixed with Choujin Sentai Jetman...errrrr, Bima Satria Garuda, which I'm currently marathoning. Episode that has the same theme of conquering your fears at the base of this TV special.
