Gohan gets it far worse than any other character who fights Broly, and he doesn’t even fight him for that long. A good rule of thumb to live by: if you’re in Dragon Ball GT and your name’s not Goku, don’t bother doing anything. Actually, this raises another question: why was Goku willing to share a body with his son to begin with? It’s outright bizarre just how badly Gohan lets Broly beat him. Psychologically, though, he simply didn’t want to fight so he didn’t. What? Bojack legitimately almost won. Gohan doesn't always save the day — in fact, he's been defeated by a lot of powerful foes in Dragon Ball. Cell was stronger than Gohan as his ssj1 equivalent, and when he came back he had ssj2 powers like Gohan so hes at the very least as strong as gohan or stronger. Living out in the country made it hard for Gohan to attend public schools, as did the fact that he had superpowers before he hit puberty. Imagine living your life so poorly you end up getting defeated by a guy who literally used to be a frog. After spending much of the Saiyan saga preparing for the fight against Nappa and Vegeta with Piccolo, it’s only natural that Gohan would shed away some of his cowardice, at least slightly. Goku loses more than he wins in Dragon Ball Z; Vegeta loses against every single arc villain, and Piccolo didn’t win a single fight between the Buu saga and the Tournament of Power. It’s a character destruction. Put yourself in Gohan’s shoes for a second. If anything, I'm sure Goku knew of Vegito power level, even if he didn't display it during his fight against Buu and he still knew for a fact he couldn't do anything to Beerus. While Gohan does go on to defeat Cell at the end of the Cell Games, it’s important to look back and recognize he very nearly didn’t. Come the Tournament of Power, however, and Piccolo is once again pushing Gohan to his absolute limits. Ever since Piccolo first trained Gohan as a kid, the two have formed a deep relationship, one that rivals that of Gohan and Goku. Piccolo’s defeat at Nappa’s hand is a reminder to Gohan of the destruction battle brings. Gohan’s Oozaru form is mindless, after all, so there’s some natural drama in his father having to subdue him. Gohan’s fight with Vegeta, while definitely understated compared to the absolutely stellar Goku versus Vegeta, is an important moment in. The Tournament of Power’s exhibition match is particularly interesting considering it’s anime-exclusive content that likely wasn’t in Toriyama’s outline. In the manga, Piccolo even brings a bag of Senzu beans with him to train Gohan, implying he’s putting him through the training of a lifetime. This question is more so directed at the video games and other materials that used this terminology, but it's an unanswered question all the same. He’s forced to regress as a character for the sake of drama when he didn’t need to be so pitifully weak for. Why after using the Dragonballs on the new Namek to summon Parunga and wish the Earth and its inhabitants back did Goku, Vegeta, King Kai and Mr. Satan go to all the trouble of trying to gather everyone’s energy for a Spirit Bomb to defeat Kid Buu? You essentially wasted all your time and energy in a fight that didn’t count. Nothing says “God of Destruction” like one shotting the strongest character in the series. It also features Gohan coming incredibly close to defeat multiple times. However, Gohan's growth throughout the franchise leaves us with one question: why only him? His body is limp, nobody’s around to save him, and it’s only a matter of time before his consciousness fades. It’s actually quite a clever fight in that respect, and an interesting twist on the “Gohan is bad at martial arts” formula Super had fallen into. By trapping him, Gohan can use his Ultimate form to do serious damage, albeit by also placing himself in the cage. By trapping him, Gohan can use his Ultimate form to do serious damage, albeit by also placing himself in the cage. The third Dragon Ball Z film, this movie saw Tullece coming to Earth in a pseudo-retelling of the Saiyan invasion at the end of the Saiyan saga. Against Buu, however, Gohan couldn’t even land a proper hit in. In the movie, Frieza defeats him cold with a single punch. That’s right, Frieza absolutely crushes Gohan in. Buutenks = Buuccolo - (Goten + Trunks) + Gotenks so surely the power difference from Buuccolo to Buutenks isn't enough to overpower Gohan and Goku seeing as Goku is stronger than Gotenks and therefore makes up for the … Gohan’s lack of action in the anime also leads to Piccolo, once again, sacrificing himself to save his pupil. 2: Buutenks have memories of Gohan through Piccolo who is like a second father or older brother figure to Gohan and knows Gohan's Every Move and what makes him tick. You’re fighting as hard as you can, you’re actually pushing your opponent back, and then it’s revealed that the man you’ve spent most of your stamina fighting is just fooling around. So he was indeed stronger than Ultimate Gohan. Gohan doesn’t even get the honor of losing to Super 17 on his own. Gohan gained his Ultimate form when the Old Kai performed a long and ridiculous ceremony to unlock his full power. Maybe his friends didn't tell anyone, but his face was made pretty public during the tournament, and it wouldn't be the only time his identity was at risk. (He has been a Super Namek since he and Kame joined bodies again.) Gohan’s fight with Vegeta, while definitely understated compared to the absolutely stellar Goku versus Vegeta, is an important moment in Dragon Ball as it completes Gohan’s arc in the Saiyan saga and shows everyone working together to take down the Saiyan Prince. Even Vegeta put up a better fight against Beerus. GO GOHAN!" That debate could inspire a whole article on its own, but there's no denying that Goku was absent from Gohan's life quite a bit. All Gohan can do is flee and toss in a few loose punches and kicks while Buutenks has his way with the ultimate warrior. While he loses a lot in, , those losses serve to develop his character or build tension for the story, sometimes both. This is a character who fights often, but wins little. The biggest insult? The fact that Piccolo babysits Pan so often and is seen hanging around Gohan so much begs the question, does he live with them? Were it not from a bizarre interference from Goku, Gohan would have been destroyed. It’s ultimately left to Vegeta to take out Gohan as the half-Saiyan clearly is in no position to keep fighting. At that point, Goku had already been defeated with relative ease. While other fights use this concept to show Gohan getting defeated by brute force, Lavender uses strategy in order to subdue Gohan. Gohan let himself slack off and found himself incapable of keeping up with an enemy he should be leagues above. There’s only one character who has it worse than Gohan and his name is Future Gohan. However, this secret identity didn't last long, since his high school peers recognized him in the World Martial Arts Tournament.. He can’t even turn Super Saiyan 2 since he has no emotional trigger to guide him. i remember that he didn't use it in the fight against Buu, but i don't remember anyone ever specifically saying that he couldn't.in fact, i seem to recall old kai telling him that he could just before he went back to earth! Introduced in the Saiyan saga as Goku’s timid son, Gohan quickly became a fan favorite despite his constant losses. How many times has it been proved that Gohan is the most powerful character in DBZ canon other than Vegito? Of all the ways to get destroyed in battle, this is one of the worst since Gohan was actually doing rather well beforehand. I think for everyone here, there was at least a time when they were not that confident in their belief about the whole, "Was Gohan a SSj2 versus Dabur Why was Gohan able to go SSj2 at the Budokai? is in no way consistent with power scaling, but that’s just humiliating if taken as fact. Just the fact he has to go over anything basic is bad enough in its own right, but it doesn’t even lead to anything meaningful as Gohan does nothing for the next two arcs. For once, an enemy gets to use the overpowered teleportation technique and it lives up to its reputation. A five-year-old boy has just had his neck snapped by a grown man and is slowly fading away on the ground. Upon attaining his Ultimate power-up, Gohan heads down to Earth and delivers a beatdown unlike any other onto Super Buu. In the Cell fight, he was always just toying with Gohan. He even gets to beat down on Gohan just like Vegeta! One of the biggest discussions among Dragon Ball fans is the question of wether or not Goku is a bad dad; a conversation that often leads to pointing out Piccolo as the better caretaker of Gohan. Gohan’s defeat also allows Super Saiyan God to come off all the better. He puts up a solid effort when push comes to shove, but Nappa ends up being too much for the halfbreed to handle. When it comes time to fuse with his father, Gohan messes up yet again by missing the potara earring. Not only should Gohan have been able to defeat Dabra, he should have been able to do so without any trouble at all. He ended, as the series’ strongest character and now he’s struggling to turn Super Saiyan. Covering the hottest movie and TV topics that fans want. Nothing says “God of Destruction” like one shotting the strongest character in the series. , he does not immediately transform into a Super Saiyan and gets tossed around like a doll. In the midst of Goku’s fight with the villain, he abruptly ended the fight and admitted to everyone in attendance that he couldn’t win.

So, our question is, did this inspire the Great Saiyaman? I hope you liked Gohan’s fight with Cell because that’s exactly what his fight with Bojack is in Bojack Unbound. The first is a filler episode after Resurrection F. Realizing just how badly he botched Frieza’s revival, Gohan has Piccolo retrain him the basics. With Super Saiyan 2, the half-Saiyan was near unstoppable. As a result, Future Gohan’s entire life is reduced to a cruel joke. Seriously? When you really think about it Gohan's got a horrible enough record as is. With his newfound strength, he was able to take on Super Buu like it was nothing, which makes us wonder... why was Gohan the only one who got this power up? If you’re going to be a martial artist in Toriyama’s Dragon World, it’s only natural you accept the fact you’re going to lose. Doubly so for the Baby saga where just about every named character gets possessed by the titular villain. He proved he could win and he sacrificed himself for the benefit of his team. Gohan went from being DBZ’s deuteragonist to just another face in the ground in the transition to GT. It’s only made worse by the fact that Shisami is implied to be around as strong as Dodoria and Zarbon. Although Gohan surpasses Piccolo multiple times throughout the course of the original series, most notably permanently by the Cell Games, the Namekian still commands quite a deal of respect from his pupil, especially in. Vegeta states that "Gohan was stronger than this whe… Then, suddenly, Cell shows up and kills Chi-Chi and Piccolo. Even Android 18 manages to put up a better fight, and Gohan’s been stronger than her for decades at this point. Is there anyone better to be destroyed by than your martial arts master? Bojack legitimately almost won. This is Gohan’s last “fight” in the anime continuity. When Gohan and his father emerged from the hyperbolic time chamber, they had both aged a year in the span of a day. That doesn't make sense. Even then, just the act of constant teleportation is disorienting enough to shatter Gohan’s psyche, allowing someone else to sneak up and attack him. Every character does it. If you’re going to be a martial artist in Toriyama’s Dragon World, it’s only natural you accept the fact you’re going to lose. - SSjin 3 Goku vs Super Buutenks (Full Power) = Fight barely lasts 5 or so minutes, but Goku actually manages to tussle with Buutenks, blast him away with ki (better than anything Gohan managed) and even engage in a super-speed clash. Unfortunately for Gohan, he’s the type of fighter who likes to play with his food and Buu ends up fleeing. Visually, it almost seems like Gohan might do something significant, but we all know how this game plays out. Also Boo threw out the big guns against Gohan yet couldn't kill him. Broly absolutely dominates Gohan into oblivion. Future Gohan’s last fight against them is a fruitless endeavor where he never truly stood a chance. Not only that, he has two more transformations that’ll basically heal him up, dragging the fight out even longer. Typical for Gohan in Super, he does not immediately transform into a Super Saiyan and gets tossed around like a doll. Gohan is only a half-breed and more importantly, not a threat to him. Dragon Ball Z ends with Gohan at the top of the totem pole. Ill admit when I was like 12 watching the dub I thought so too because he was the last bad guy but then when I took a few minutes to really think about it I realized that made no sense. When he loses, it absolutely should be a big deal. He even gets to beat down on Gohan just like Vegeta! Gurd tends to get a bad rap since he’s the first member to lose, and the only one to lose his life before Goku shows up, but he’s actually quite dangerous. Gohan couldn’t move, he couldn’t dodge, and he couldn’t fight back. As the only hero who can stand up to them, the Androids keep him alive only as a plaything. "I know! Goten is the first major casualty, but it doesn’t take long for Gohan to fall victim to Baby’s body jacking shenanigans. level 2. That said, Lavender still nearly defeats Gohan and it’s really luck more than anything that allowed Gohan to tie. Gohan went from being, ’s deuteragonist to just another face in the ground in the transition to, . Don't you think he should've grown up to be more like his future counterpart instead of his pathetic nerdy self. Again SSJ3 Gotenks isn't as strong as Gohan, so that means that Buutenks is Super Buu plus SSJ3 Gotenks, plus Super Piccolo. Unable to handle Dyspo’s extreme speed, Gohan realizes that the only way to knock out the Pride Trooper would be with a well executed sacrifice. Spoiler: Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text. In his dream, Gohan is training in the time chamber when Chi-Chi enters, yelling at him to study. But, this is sort of expected, since Akira Toriyama isn't exactly known for filling in every blank of the Dragon Ball lore. His future self couldn't save the Earth after over a decade and even during his one grand moment he nearly lost anyway until Goku intervened. Hard as Gohan might try, there is absolutely nothing he can do in the face of first form Frieza. Half-breeds are simply no match for the Prince of All Saiyans. Gohan does absolutely nothing of value in, , and that’s worse than losing any fight. The Buu saga is all about him learning to take responsibility and stay in shape, yet the Baby saga shows him fumbling when the time comes to protect the Earth without his father. That's all well and good, but the Super Saiyan transformations are not additional power, they are power multipliers, so shouldn't going Super Saiyan still be possible in his Ultimate form? It gets go bad that Goku, a fighter significantly weaker than Gohan at this point, needs to head down to Earth in order to lend his son a helping hand. Sure, it's a small thing to point out, but it definitely made things confusing when Gohan was actually a teenager. By the end of the Cell saga, not a single character came close to Gohan in terms of sheer power. Like his fight with Shisami, this fight serves to show just how foolish Gohan was to neglect his training. Even after Kaioshin’s repeated warnings that Majin Buu must by no means be awakened, Gohan tries his luck at fighting the freshly awakened Djinn. He fails spectacularly in stopping Baby, and he honestly only makes the situation all the worse by giving him a significantly stronger host body. The fight against Frieza is a masterclass in psychological destruction. Well, technically it’s Gohan, but the distinction is pretty important. All the latest gaming news, game reviews and trailers. Oh Gohan, you came so frustratingly close to solving the Buu crisis all on your own and you had to mess it up. Regardless if Gohan has stopped training or not, he should at least be stronger than his younger brother, especially since Goten clearly does not care about martial arts. Unless your name is Goku, chances are you aren’t going to have a good time in Dragon Ball GT. Were it not from a bizarre interference from Goku, Gohan would have been destroyed. . Shouldn't his power be multiplied even more if the Ultimate form is the maximum power his base form could have? As a villain from Dragon Ball GT, it’s only natural that Omega Shenron outclass Gohan in every respect. This fight is particularly scary because Gohan could have pacified Cell at a moment’s note. Remember, he told us that merging with Vegeta wouldn't stop Beerus (and again, Goku didn't get the same treatment Vegeta got, the 10% added power). It’s only natural Beerus would continue his onslaught of destruction by taking out the rest of the cast without trouble, Gohan included. Some of the stuff you said isn't quite true (I haven't gotten that far in the anime yet, but I own the manga). They strike silly poses; they bicker with each other like an old married couple, and they nearly murder our heroes several times during the Frieza saga! Why only Gohan? If Gohan slacked off on his training just a bit more, he wouldn’t be able to turn SSJ and Shisami would have broken him on the spot. is to keep his head down and lose to the arc villains so daddy can get his precious screen time and save the day. In Age 764, Gohan wore the Saiyan armor he received on Namek during Freeza and King Cold's invasion on Earth. We have a hard time believing that, since they were very close in the Majin Buu saga. Gohan was only five years old when he was on planet Namek, meaning he went through some of the most traumatic experiences a person could go through before he hit puberty. And yet, despite being the best he could be, he wasn't able to catch the Potara earring that his dad threw to him. Did he not hang out with his brother at all? Of course, we don't love him any less because of this, but it can be frustrating to have looming questions about one of the best characters in the Dragon Ball franchise. He underestimates his opponents, is arrogant and all that as Piccolo said it. Because Gotenks and TEQ Buu banners are getting close and I'll not have stones for them. Related: Dragon Ball: Every Time The Main Characters Have Died Gohan gives it his all against fighters like Top and Dyspo in the Tournament of Power in Dragon Ball Super, but once again, Ultimate Gohan doesn't go Super Saiyan.This was puzzling for some fans during the Buu Saga, but Dragon Ball Super finally offers an explanation when Goku simply asks Gohan why he doesn't go Super Saiyan. Hard as Gohan might try, there is absolutely nothing he can do in the face of first form Frieza. Gohan was the strongest warrior they had by far at the time. Regardless, this does mean Gohan should have been able to defeat him easily even as a regular Super Saiyan. Instantaneous Movement, or Instant Transmission in the Funimation dub, is easily one of Goku’s best techniques, if not his best. As we watched him grow up into both a powerful warrior and a brilliant scholar, we learned a few things about the half-Saiyan that left us with more questions than answers. In their straight up fight, Vegeta wears down Gohan even after losing metric tons of energy in his fight against Goku. Gohan couldn’t beat Dabra, but he at least held his ground. Realizing just how badly he botched Frieza’s revival, Gohan has Piccolo retrain him the basics. He blinds him with poison forcing Gohan to use his senses to keep fighting. Gohan ends up getting absorbed and the only reason Goku survives is because Enma kept Vegeta’s body around in case of emergency. This one isn't too much of a stretch, since the nightmare was put in for dramatic effect, but it still left us with an unanswered question.
