Dragon Ball GT (Japanese: ドラゴンボールGT(ジーティー), Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Jī Tī^?) is a Japanese anime series based on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. Produced by Toei Animation, the series premiered in Japan on Fuji TV on February 7, 1996, spanning 64 episodes until its end on November 19, 1997.

It is a sequel to the previous Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z anime series. As Dragon Ball Z covered the end of the manga, a new story set after Z was created and called Dragon Ball GT, not based on any previous work.

Five years after the end of the Dragon Ball Z anime (10 years in the Funimation dub),Goku is turned back into a child by the Black Star Dragon Balls (ダークドラゴンボール, Dāku Doragon Bōru, lit. "Dark Dragon Balls") used by Pilaf and is forced to travel across the universe to retrieve them along with his granddaughter Pan and Trunks. The trio go through various adventures in their journey to find the Black Star Dragon Balls, until they encounter the evil artificial Tuffle, Baby, who intends to destroy the Saiyan race.

Baby has the ability to invade other people's bodies and turn them into Tuffles, as well as using a body to combine it with his own power and become a fighter. After turning practically all of the Earth's population, including the Saiyans, into Tuffles, Baby decides to remain inside Vegeta's body and use it to confront Goku. Goku fights him and is defeated, but after having his tail regenerated, achieves the level of Super Saiyan 4 (超サイヤ人フォー, Sūpā Saiya-jin Fō), and destroys Baby, propelling him into the sun with a Kamehameha. Piccolo then sacrifices himself to turn the Black Star Dragon Balls into stone permanently when the Earth explodes after Goku and the others helped everyone evacuate to the Tuffle Planet.
