One of the most popular discussions between Dragon Ball fans is whether GT is part of the story. Most people answered no, based on the statement and actions of Akira Toriyama. But the writers and designers participated in building this storyline.
Akira Toriyama himself rejected this. He once said in an interview that Dragon Ball GT was not official and by creating Dragon Ball Super, he actually threw away the effort that TOEI Animation spent on GT.
The story in Dragon Ball GT took place about 10 years after the battle with Majin Buu. Goku and the entire group of Z fighters participated in the martial arts tournament (Budokai Tenkaichi) and they met Uub.
The context of Dragon Ball GT took place shortly thereafter with the participation of Goku, granddaughter Pan and Trunks were the main characters of the film.
