Warning: Dragon Ball Super #96 spoilers!Gohan finally back to the top of the screen Super Dragon Ball, as formidable Z-Warrior fans know him, with his powers greatly enhanced after unlocking Beast Form, as seen in last year’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. This is without a doubt one of the strongest heroes around, the latest chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga shows that for a fighter as skilled as Gohan, he has a weakness that can make him perish if he doesn’t deal with it soon.
Often criticized for being portrayed as too weak in previous installments of the Dragon Ball Super story, Gohan has slowly but surely become a force to be reckoned with, evident after the Universe Survival Saga and the current manga installment. re-enacting and recounting events. of Super Heroes. Throwing in teenage Goten and Trunks, the manga has just passed the point where the tide of battle overturns the Red Ribbon army, with Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 finally choosing to side with Gohan and Piccolo. And it is here, as the final leg of this comic book adaptation begins, that Gohan’s surprising weakness is revealed: he has terrible eyesight.
Gohan can’t see anything without glasses
Dragon Ball Super chapter #96, titled “Saiyamen, On The Scene!”, by Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou, confirms this completely understandable weakness. Gohan is shown after the battle in his basic form talking to the Z warriors Krillin and Goten, only for him to squint and verbally verify they are indeed the people he is talking to. or not. When asked by his daughter Pan where his glasses had gone, Gohan nonchalantly said he had “throw them aside before”, only to later admit that his eyes were “terrible” when they didn’t. wear glasses. Piccolo confusedly points out that Gohan’s eyesight must have improved when he transforms, which is news to Gohan as he replies with a dazed and self-deprecating “I guess”, showing Gohan has indeed inherited his father’s legendary ignorance.
Gohan’s vision is clear as to being a Super Saiyan, which the manga draws special attention to, and it’s likely the same thing happens when he’s in his Potential Release state, when he fights without wear glasses while in that form. This is a small but significant detail that tells the reader more subtly that Gohan is the most “human” of the Dragon Ball heroes, as most of the other Z Warriors have no problem. health to worry about, even though Goku’s heart disease is seen in the Android Saga.
Gohan’s poor eyesight makes him cuter
However, Gohan’s terrible eyesight can be a huge problem on the battlefield, as demonstrated in the story Majin Buu, when he missed the Potara thrown by Goku, thus depriving him of the chance to witness it. The strongest combination ever by Dragon Ball fans. Of course, Gohan can always remain transformed to keep his vision active, but this silly weakness, if not a bit trivial, makes Gohan easier to understand as a hero who is on his way to becoming the strongest warrior in Super Dragon Ball.
