Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy (悟空外伝! 勇気の証しは四星球 Gokū Gaiden! Yūki no Akashi wa Sì Xīng Qiú, lit. "Goku Sidestory! The Proof of his Courage is the Four-Star Ball") is the first and only Dragon Ball GT TV special, and was released in Japan on March 26, 1997.
Summary
The film begins with the scene from Dragon Ball GT, episode 39: "Baby Put to Rest". Baby had escaped from New Planet Plant in his spaceship, but Super Saiyan 4 Goku powers up for a 10X Kamehameha and fires it towards Baby's ship, sending him into the sun and killing him.
The actual storyline begins then, propelling itself 100 years in the future where all the Z Fighters have died of natural causes except for Pan who is more than 100 years old. She is shown being at the graveyard sitting on the burial site of her grandfather Goku, paying her respects along with her grandson Goku Jr., who was trying to catch a butterfly but then went to pay his respects for his great great grandfather, Goku, who departed from the Earth 100 years prior. Pan stands up and tells Goku Jr. that it is time to train, which he happily agrees with. She dreams of her grandson becoming a great warrior like her grandpa, but Goku Jr. is clearly not interested in training and always lets her down, be it flying, balancing or even catching a ball.
Goku Jr. studies in a local school where he is frequently bullied by Puck, a senior student who loves to fight. Pan, a very powerful person herself by a normal human's standard, wants to explore the potential of Goku Jr., but Goku Jr., a non-violent person, always lets himself be bullied by Puck and his companions, thus underrating his abilities. One day, he lets Puck take his favorite pen (which he calls Rocket Pen). Pan becomes extremely furious and upset because of his behavior and yells at Goku Jr. for being so carefree, which causes her blood pressure to rise and she falls sick.
