So I just watched the final episode of DBGT. Made me sad to see it all end since I'd become so attached to all of the characters.
But I'm trying to make sense of what actually happened. Goku absorbed the Dragon Balls, and what? The narration makes allusions that he may have become immortal. But if this is true, why has he aged back into his adult self when he appears at the World Tournament 50 or 60 years later? Also, since he absorbed the Dragon Balls, am I to assume that when the Dragon Balls do become active again, and someone collects them all, they now summon
Goku
instead of Shenron? And where exactly did Shenron take him?
Have these answers ever been provided?

I think we're just hopeless at this point.
all of us passed the point of no return so long ago, we couldn't even remember what it looked like.

I've read some speculative articles, lots of interesting points were raised, but apparently there's no official answer. Some people are saying that the Ocean Dub (rather than the Funimation Dub which is what I always watch) can shed some light on it.
This horribly-written forum post was actually the most informative thing I read on the subject
hmmm, you have to watch either the frenh,spanish or japanese version to understand all about Goku. Funimation changed almost every single line and that makes dbz confusing. when goku was a baby goku he �was evil, he got hit in the head real hard and that made his personality� change dramatically. He was an accident of nature, thats why he left with shenrong. He was the cause of all the evil beings appearing in the universe, threatening the universe. Its all about a asian proveb called ying-yang(good-evil), or the law of physics, for every action there is a reaction. In the cell saga, Goku told his friends that he didnt want to be rezzed cuz bulma suggested him that it was because of him that all enemies came to earth. In the bu saga, he coulve killed fat boo. When Piccoro asked him why not kill Majimboo as SSJ3. He said he wanted to let humans do this, if he does another enemy will appear and he also said : "its not fair because im dead". Right after he killed boo, he sat on a rock and was thinking about it and he decided to stay in earth. He thought that no more enemies will appear, because all the enemies the universe and him know have died(frieza,buu,cell,etc). But in GT he realized that no matter of he destroys em all, more will come and will at some point leave unreparable dmg. Now u might think that there is still good people on earth like Gohan, but he is not like goku, gohan has a litle evil (he wanted make Cell to suffer). Goku always shows mercy, hes been critizied for it, even when Frieza killed Krillin. He apologized to boo for killing him. He is too powerfull and extremely good to exist. Btw, he is not highly gifted, hes just a low class saiyan with the will of getting stronger. The message of Akira Toriyama was that it was all about personality. Anyone can surpass a highly gifted if�one really wants it. Goku said that like 3 times, idk about funimation.� Goku translated to engrish means "empty".

This has got to be the best quote I've ever seen, and I'm SO gonna copy&Paste this every time I see another jackass saying MoP is an expansion "for the children"
"
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adults themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.... When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly.
When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
" - C.S. Lewis
Badass quote is badass.
Quiero que estar la mucho mejor, como nadie nunca estuve. De atraparlos es mi prueba verdadero, de entrenarlos es mi causa. Yo viajara a través de la región, buscando por todas partes, para enseña los bolsillo monstruos, la poder que esta interno.
That's probably a horrible translation, but, oh well.
xD sorry for shooting you down but yes, that's a terrible translation XDDDDD
Here's a proper one:
"Tengo que ser siempre el mejor, mejor que nadie mas, atraparlos mi prueba es, entrenarlos mi ideal....... yo viajare de aqui a alla, buscando hasta el fin oh pokemon yo entedere, tu poder interior"
That's from the
latin american version
of the song (Atrapalos ya!) which made some very slight changes to the lyrics (Gotta catch them all, in spanish is too long, "Tengo que atraparlos a todos", so they changed it to "Atrapalos Ya!" or "Catch them NOW!")
I still applaud the effort =)
@Donny:
As someone who watched the Latin Version of DBZ (AKA the non-butchered-by-FUNimation version) I agree completely. Another horrid change FUNimation did to the dub was changing the truly epic Dragon Ball soundtrack for lame generic metal.

I love Bruce Falconer's score for DBZ. His themes are epic IMO, and I use his SSJ Vegeta theme as my ringtone.
They didn't employ him for GT though.
I have the original Japanese version of DBZ. Next time I'm somewhere with good internet (not gonna lie, that could be months or years away), I intend to download some other stuff, such as DB, as well as another dub of DBGT (either Ocean or original Japanese).

Random question- someone told me that they had a website they checked that told you who was posting what on the AH on each realm, and who the most active sellers are, but I forget the name. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Took out an accidental extra word- actual answers would be preferred to grammatical corrections.
EDIT: Nevermind- I found it.

DBGT was made without Toriyama's approval, which is the main thing you have to remember. He considers it non-canon, and in fact counts Dragonball Online as being the next conical chapter to the DB universe.
As for the ending: Since GT made it clear that Goku is the reason for all of the bad stuff that comes along, since it all apparently wants to fight him, he leaves the universe with Shenron for 100 years, taking the Earth Dragonballs with them. When he returns, the dragonballs are gone(I think) and he really only showed up to watch the Jr's battle it out. After that point, he disappears again, since the only GT Movie is about Goku Jr and his first big adventure.

Yep, as Adamsm said DBGT is considered non-canon, and the newest entry on the dragon ball saga (Dragon Ball Online) ignores it completely.
I really liked that game but I stopped playing it. Its fun and all, but not being able to read the quests (They're all either in Korean or Taiwanese depending on your version) really killed the joy out of the game.
I do plan to play it INTENSIVELY when (if) it gets released in a language I can actually understand. So english or spanish.
man, I dunno why aren't they doing it, Dragon Ball was massively popular in latin america (even more so than in the US, or europe), and they'd make A CRAP-A-TON of money if they ever release it here, with a working cash shop for all latino currencies.
