What Happened to Gohan in Dragon Ball Z?

[@gokuskanji]

You know I kinda understand him. He got burnt out or something. My dude had to mature at incredible young age, losing his entire childhood fighting sick villains, yet being unbelieveable brave for a 5 year old kid or so. He even lose his dad twice and spent years of his childhood without him. I would love him to be as strong as he can be but... if he doesn't want to have anything to do with fighting I can't blame him.

[@I-own-your-feelings]

Bingo

[@LancetheLibrary]

Yep. It's why I remain a Gohan fan even past hte Buu saga. At least he's more worthwhile than Goten and Kid Trunks who got Super Saiyan without earning it and haven't done anything since.

[@DreamsTuber]

Except now he has a family. He can't rely on Goku and Vegeta to save his ass all the time. I always thought of Gohan as someone who could have been the anime Peter Parker. He has a responsibility to his family and himself to get stronger now.

[@gokuskanji]

@@DreamsTuber being a family man I would pressume that it is his chance to have a normal, more human life. But at the end he does get back to training after finding out universe 7 is at risk and by extention his family. Let's see íf he keeps on that path that you are saying or not...

[@1014p]

Cinematic Galaxy they don’t even train. I’d like to see Whis pick them up as a project. Then sow that seed for a future arc say 5 years later. The whole time training under Whis. I don’t know Goku is some where else and Vegita vacationing in universe 6. Then parallel this with Gohan training hard as well. At this point maybe Frieza thinks he has a leg up while nobody is around to be greatly surprised. Better yet some how cell returns but secretly fighting in other universes. Maybe hearing about the so called next level. Trains and becomes a GoD killing that universes dude.

I can agree gohan not wanting to fight anymore and now that vegeta is on earth let the adults handle goku even told him to live his life and have a happy life on earth but I wish he had kept training as a just in case cause he would of fucked up buu had he trained even if he just maintained he would of been able to beat dabura at least but either had he kept growing he would been able to fight buu off or wait until vegeta and goku got there or hell maybe even fight vegeta with goku then go and get buu

[@Valientlink]

He's back baby! It's true though, Ultimate Gohan was still the strongest at the end of Z minus the whole 10 years later thing which will have to be retconned at this point. Even if it did, Gohan Beast would probably still be the strongest. The ending to DBZ was so terrible to me.

In Wrestling terms, Gohan got struck down by "The Pen", with the Booker being Toriyama and later Toyotaro.

My biggest complaint was always that a kid that literally grew up being trained couldn't maintain the discipline of training and growing stronger. I guess he took what Goku said way too literally about how if he stayed dead then they wouldn't have villians anymore.

[@mattheffelfinger6093]

@PKD Orion This further proves the point that he has grown up in these situations that you have to be stronger than the villian or else you lose everything. He lost his friends left and right, His father twice, even innocent people, and it seemed that by the time he defeated Cell, that maybe it was drilled into his skull, "Hey, I might be called on one day to save this world" but no. I'm not saying he has to have the Saiyan drive to fight, but that didn't stop Roshi from training, or Tien, or Piccolo. It literally seemed like he was like, "oh, no villians trying to kill us today, I'll train tomorrow." Rinse, repeat, skip 7 years.

But Yeah,even with that,I see no point to Gohan stopping training with discipline to at LEAST MAINTAIN HIS POWER INCRIASING. He saw that It took He,Vegeta,Trunks(not there anymore) and his father(not there anymore) to takedown One Villain. He should've do his Scholar life,but keep the track on his training routine!

[@christiancinnabars1402]

It was _because_ he trained as a kid and was forced to fight all the time that probably stops him from training now. Think of it as a form of PTSD: would you train at all if any time you threw a punch, you are reminded of all of your friends being murdered one by one, your dad getting his ribs shattered by a giant monster, and you being tortured and slowly killed by another monster in space? The mentality of "he trained as a kid, so he should train now" is unbelievably selfish. It's like if an underperforming boxer was revealed to have been heavily abused as a kid, and people just say "well he is used to being hit, so why can't he take hits now?" And no, Gohan isn't the only defender of Earth, and has never been since his birth. Every time a villain has appeared, either Goku or Vegeta(or both) have always been available to fight them.

But fighting never was Gohan´s favourite thing to do. He did it in the cell saga because he had to. So it seems natural to me, that he didn´t train and got weaker. To say someone should have convinced him to train sounds wrong to me. For him to do something he doesn´t like that much.

[@justinlynch3]

Realistically there should of been a balance between Chi Chi pressuring Gohan to settle down and study, and Piccolo being a mentor and pressuring Gohan to keep training. Piccolo isn't a push-over like Goku was. In the build up to the Saiyans Piccolo kidnapped Gohan and forced him to survive and train for a entire year. It makes no sense Piccolo would just stand by and let Gohan go soft. So there definitely should of been a ying yang, a back and forth balance in Gohan's life between Chi Chi's lecturing and Piccolo's mentoring. Especially with Goku gone. Goku was the only one that ever usually tried to get Gohan out of the house. Chi Chi literally wants Gohan to have his nose in the books from morning to bed every day.

Saiyans are warriors and the love of fighting is in their blood. That makes them active characters that seek out conflict and struggle. They make the plot happen.

[@xxOnigiri99]

@@UnifiedEntity maybe he considers protecting his family is assuring they have a comfortable life? I mean, without Goku around, no bad guys appeared for a while, and Earth still had Vegeta. Plus, Gohan doesn't like fighting, and no regular earthling could step up to Gohan any time, even without training. It sucks he became weaker, but it also makes sense with his character. I also think it is possible for him to balance out training and his job, as many people do, and would totally get if Gohan isn't as strong as could be if he trained more, but could actually figure in bigger scale fights.

[@Trunks1stApprentice]

No enemies around, no expectation of enemies coming around because of Goku's speech to Gohan at the end of the Cell Saga, and time to only devote to his studies to become a scholar. Gohan losing power was a foregone conclusion. The real confusion, though, is why Gohan got so weak in Super. 7 years of no training, he got weaker, but he was able to match Dabura fairly well. 4 years of no training after getting the massive Ultimate power boost, and suddenly, you're a chump who can't figure into anything.

[@marsivnayr]

Trunks1stApprentice Agh. This. So much this. His character has progressed fine. But he didn’t need to be so weakened. My favorite point for Gohan was actually during the early buu stuff. Not being able to defeat Dabura, realizing why he can’t, getting the resolve to remember the warrior he can be from his fathers words, putting his all into stopping Babidi and Buu, claiming the Z sword and continuing his training... was all a great trajectory until Toriyama started to kinda spitball things.

[@Trunks1stApprentice]

@@marsivnayr Which stems from the fact that, by Toriyama's own admission, he was doing whatever he wanted without concern of narrative cohesion. First he wanted to try Gohan in a Superman setup, then he wanted Goku to come back and be the focus, then Vegeta was the villain, the large magic manchild was the villain, then he wanted Goten and Trunks to be the heroes, then Buu became a twisted Goku in personality, then he wanted Gohan to be the hero again, then Buu became a boring Cell copy, then he wanted Goku and Vegeta to be the main heroes again, then Buu became the embodiment of chaotic evil. I mean, I'm sure there was a way for Toriyama to make it all come together and seem less like he was dumping ink onto the page and calling it a day. But he didn't. And I say all of this as someone who has the most nostalgia for the Buu Saga.

[@marsivnayr]

Trunks1stApprentice Same here. My favorite moments mostly come from the buu arc. But as soon as Vegeta dies, it starts to fall apart. It’s too bad. I think Gohan could have been molded to be a great protag, and maybe even alongside Vegeta but it’s true that the dynamic between Goku and Vegeta is far more palatable and popular than Gohan and Vegeta. Unfortuantely is hard to say because we don’t get many Gohan Vegeta moments after the namek arc.

[@Trunks1stApprentice]

@@marsivnayr I honestly don't think there are a lot of ways Vegeta and Gohan could work. Maybe when Gohan's out of shape, Vegeta takes the Piccolo role and whips Gohan into shape, but that's all I can see. I can't see Vegeta chasing Gohan's coattails with the same burning passion that he chased Goku's. Gohan surpassing Vegeta and killing Cell crushed Vegeta's fighting spirit, and after that, Vegeta was just kind of annoyed at Gohan for not pursuing the path of a fighter. And may just be because Goku is my favorite character, but I do think that without Goku, Dragon Ball isn't Dragon Ball.

[@the-1008-r4m]

If Gohan had kept training, he would have destroyed Buu, he would have been stronger than SSJ 3 Goku, he may have even gotten SSJ 3 himself. He would have gotten to Ultimate Gohan level eventually. The question is, how would have Gohan done against Beerus if he had kept training from age 11. He probably would have been stronger than Goku's red form back then, as he is close to Blue level now, infact, he might have been stronger than Goku is even now (without UI), looool, going by Vegeta's comment about Gohan having the most potential, he would have been the one to train with Whis (if he kept training since age 11)and may have mastered UI by now. I prefer Goku as a character at this point, so a part of me is glad it didn't happen, loool, but we do wonder what could have been.

Inconsistency in his writing is more of an issue than him not being a fighter.

Gohan was living the life that he had trained hard to get, where it was peaceful, he could impact society positively through more means than violence.

But the thing is Kaioken is not a transformation, it is a technique that is actually learned. Mixed with well an actual transformation that his body is naturally has the potential of doing in some way. That's why stacking Kaioken in what the series considers a more stable form of Super Saiyan State works. In Gohan's case I sort of agree, he seems to have the ability to tap into whatever latent power without the need of Super Forms to reach it. Though given how god forms seem to be like a branch of power and less straight forward than traditional Ssj-3 it's not certain how his potential unleashed works with Godki and if he could do Blue or God or if they would make a difference or make him even more absurdedly powerful.

There's one huge factor that you never mentioned: Chichi. Chichi was always opposed to the idea of Gohan becoming a fighter.every time Gohan trained, he only did it because there was some upcoming threat. First the Saiyans, then later the Androids. Goku even said to Chichi at the beginning of the Android saga that after the three years of training, Gohan could spend the rest of his life with his nose in the book. Chichi probably forced Gohan to stop training and focus exclusively on his studies. And without Goku there to push him in the opposite direction, any of Goku's friends who tried to reach Gohan and get him to keep training we're probably rebuffed by chichi.for all we know, he may not even have had contact with any of them during the seven year time skip.

If you think about it, the same thing could be said for Future Gohan too. Why he was so weak despite having 17 years to train for the androids. Android that's Vegeta was able to man-handle with FOUR years of training. Gohan didn't fight out of pure sport or passion, he did it for necessity. And that hampered him really badly.

[@mirrormoveuchiha]

Yeah, I just think DBZ at times has bad writing, as much as I love the show, there are a lot of things that could have been better. I mean, people are gonna argue about it, but I don't even think Toriyama drew Gohan against Dabura correctly IF he intended Gohan to be Super saiyan 2 in that fight. So, if he was Super Saiyan 2, he was still holding his own against Dabura. If Dabura was Super perfect Cell level, then thats not too bad on Gohan's part, and maybe could be explained by him slacking off in mental and physical training to the degree that some of his "potential power" couldn't be easily accessed by Gohan with intense anger like he had to have previously in the serious in those burst rage moments. But if Dabura isn't Super Perfect Cell level and Gohan is SSJ2, then Gohan got way weaker than I would have thought he could by just not training for seven years, considering he grew into a more capable body for fighting and his potential had to grow, regardless of how easily accessed it was considering he was still capable of going to his Super Saiyan 2 state with little struggle at the tournament against a fighter he didn't hate, or wasn't enraged by in order to achieve it. If Gohan was only Super Saiyan against Dabura, then it makes Gohan look good, regardless of how strong Dabura is compared to Super Perfect Cell and means that Gohan really didn't get much weaker at all if any, but only lacked going to his highest level of power... for some odd reason... or that he simply didn't have the anger to access all his power... even though two of his friends were effectively "dead", turned to stone... idk this show has bad writing and fans of it are way more passionate about it than the writers.

What if Gohan turns into a very powerful villain? Because I don't see them doing any justice for him as of now. So it got me thinking, Gohan could potentially be the best villain ever. A tragic supervillain to be exact. Like another version of Lord Drakkon. Jealousy of his father, being looked down by many that makes him drastically changed to a cold and heartless person. Gonna be like Batman VS Arkham Knight kinda thing. A new idea just came across to my mind. If they bringing Turles to the DBS/canon universe in the future, he could be use as a major supporting antagonist. As you can see, in Turles movie, he sparked an interest in having Gohan to join him as he recognizes the boy's potential. By using that point of story, he could brainwashed Gohan's mind and turning him into a tragic supervillain. Making Gohan as the new emperor of Saiyan race, thus calling him Lord Gohan and creating his new Saiyan army.

Saying that Gohan slacked on training, that's an understatement. After Cell games, Gohan did not have any training ever. Not a single one throughout the 7 years. No wonder he got a lot weaker. Also Gohan cant quite use Super Saiyan 2 form. He did but barely and after that, there were no longer any SSJ2 from Gohan. I do believe the reason SSJ3 Gotenks din't take the W is probably because then the whole Elder Kai's ritual would be wasted. While Gohan did receive the massive power boost from the ritual, it isn't quite earned. I do have a feeling that Toriyama have felt that too (about the whole power up is not earned thing) so Gohan didn't get the W. (and so the ritual got wasted after all) Toriyama is quite the impressive writer given how he makes up the story as he goes around and still manages to make quite the fun story of Dragon Ball. However whenever Toriyama makes some (major) changes in his story or change the direction, his story may start to fall apart. For example in Cell arc, Toriyama had to change the villains a couple times because his former editor complained. This did not bode well for the Cell arc. In the Majin Buu arc, Toriyama have often changed the direction in his story and those changes have resulted the concepts and characters being wasted in this arc. I would say that Toriyama's writing style din't do him any good in the last two arcs. I am pretty sure that Geekdom101 did watch the Dragon Ball Dissection. And i am sure of that cause i saw his comments in those videos!
