To make a sequel of something (ex. Games, shows, etc) and somehow fuck the source material up of unfortunately great proportions. The name is derived from the Anime Dragon Ball GT, which was supposed to be (If I recall correctly) a Non-cannon sequel to Dragon Ball Z. But when it released, it gained a heavy negative reception.
Guy 1: "I just watched Season 2 of The Promised Neverland, and it's bad."
Guy 2: "I agree, that Dragon Ball GT Syndrome that invaded the Anime sucks."

When the plot of an action series devolves into: good guy fights strong bad guy, loses, gets stronger, then defeats strong bad guy. strong good guy then finds an even stronger bad guy, vice versa. Some examples of Dragon Ball syndrome are Power Rangers, My Hero Academia and Skibidi Toilet.
Why do people watch that stupid toilet gmod thing? it's plot is the textbook definition of Dragon Ball syndrome.
