It's the stories and character developments that truly contradict each other, however.

However, this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. While not universally loved, general opinion suggests Dragon Ball Super is far superior to GT, and is the true canon continuation of the original, rendering Dragon Ball GT obsolete.
While the anime is currently on hiatus, the manga series remains in production and more movie projects are expected after the runaway success of Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Toriyama came back to his most famous creation in 2013 with Battle of Gods, and this movie sparked the current Dragon Ball Super era, comprising of 2 further movies, a new manga series and an anime, all made with Toriyama's involvement. When the original manga concluded, Toriyama was done with Saiyans, but Toei Animation sensed more money was to be made and produced the Dragon Ball GT sequel series, which is generally considered to be a resounding failure. It's such a beautiful and poignant ending that I really have to commend the GT writers despite some shortcomings throughout the series.How could Dragon Ball Super lead directly into the previous sequel series, Dragon Ball GT? Akira Toriyama's original Dragon Ball story takes Goku from his humble hut in the mountains to saving the world (again) by defeating Buu with a Spirit Bomb, and these events are chronicled in animated form in the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z series. He grins whilst walking away, almost implying that he's happy to see an old rivalry form in a new generation with a combined strength to take on whatever fears await in the future - without the need for the dragon balls. We see a specter of him at the end as he watches Son Goku (Jr.) fight mini-Vegeta. Once a man who protected it over and over, he now merges with the very thing that facilitated his efforts over the years as he slips off into legendary status akin to how Shepard is seen at the end of Mass Effect. Personally, I see him as becoming a spiritual spectator of Earth. We see the dragon balls slip inside him, a merging of sorts and this is pretty much where you can make up your own interpretation. The fact he flies off on Shen Long's back still wearing that gi and in perfect shape should be evidence enough.
Vegeta knew he had which is why he turns to Pan who is holding his torn up gi and says, 'Cherish that'. We reserve the right to remove submissions at our discretion.
