Initially hoping for a new web anime, fans' excitement quickly turned to disappointment upon seeing the leaked content.

According to the Dragon Ball leakers, the upcoming Dragon Ball Magic web anime will unfold before the conclusion of the Dragon Ball Z timeline. In this captivating narrative, Goku and the Supreme Kai find themselves transformed into innocent children by a malevolent demon. Consequently, they embark on a sweeping quest across the universe to locate the villain and reclaim their adult bodies. Along their thrilling expedition, they visit various planets and confront formidable adversaries.
Additionally, there have been numerous rumors circulating about the introduction of several new characters in the highly anticipated Dragon Ball Magic anime. Among these characters, two individuals are expected to play prominent roles as they join forces with Goku and Supreme Kai in their crucial mission. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the beloved older characters will also be making their much-awaited appearances.

Fans of Dragon Ball Magic believe that Toei Animation has chosen to recycle the storyline from Dragon Ball GT. In that particular anime, Goku underwent a transformation into a child due to a misguided wish made by Emperor Pilaf using the Black Star dragon balls. Subsequently, Goku, along with Pan and Trunks, embarked on a quest to locate the dragon balls scattered throughout the universe.
Although this narrative choice would enable fans to see a young Goku, they strongly dislike this plot device due to their disdain for Dragon Ball GT as a whole. Furthermore, this idea lacks originality.
Why do fans hate Dragon Ball GT?
Dragon Ball GT is widely disliked by fans primarily because it deviates from the canon storyline. In contrast to its predecessors, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, the absence of a manga adaptation for Dragon Ball GT contributes to this disapproval. Furthermore, fans frequently criticize the series for its inconsistent and non-coherent plot elements.
The portrayal of the Black Star Dragon Balls in Dragon Ball GT (Image via Toei Animation) raises some logical issues. Using these powerful artifacts is rendered pointless since they eventually result in the destruction of the planet. Additionally, their significance is undermined by the lack of security measures implemented at Kami's lookout, allowing Emperor Pilaf to seize control of them.
Fans were disappointed with the slow pacing of the story's initial segment, which primarily revolved around three characters. Furthermore, they felt that the studio failed to accurately portray these characters.
Moreover, there were numerous discrepancies regarding transformations. In Dragon Ball Z, Gohan had attained the Mystic form, rendering his Super Saiyan form unnecessary. However, despite this, he unexpectedly transformed into a Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball GT.

Even if that fact were to be disregarded for some unknown reason, Goku's transformation into Super Saiyan 4 resulted in him inexplicably acquiring a new set of pants. This seemed highly inconsistent, especially considering the fact that he was in his child-like state at that time. Additionally, in defiance of all rhyme and reason, Vegeta managed to attain the Super Saiyan 4 transformation without first achieving Super Saiyan 3 form.
All in all, Dragon Ball GT was not a great experience for fans. Thus, fans were worried that they would go through the same situation in Dragon Ball Magic.
