Recently, in Dragon Ball Super, Gohan has emerged as a central character, especially after being relegated to a supporting role in most of the stories.
This change is demonstrated in chapter 101, when Vegeta emphasizes the possibility that Gohan has surpassed both him and Goku. This comment comes after Bulma’s observations, reinforcing the idea that Gohan, who is half Saiyan and earthling, is on an upward trajectory.
In the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie and in the subsequent manga saga, Gohan emerges as the main hope against the powerful villain Cell Max, while Goku and Vegeta are far away, training with Whis. In this context, Gohan, driven by rage and the kidnapping of his daughter, attains a new and powerful form, marking an important turning point for the character.
Gohan always had the potential to surpass Goku and Vegeta
From the beginning, Gohan was touted as a warrior with exceptional potential. Author Akira Toriyama has even mentioned in interviews that Gohan may be “the strongest of all”.
This idea has been reinforced at key moments in the series, such as in the Cell saga, where Gohan surpasses Goku and Vegeta by reaching the level of Super Saiyan 2. And then in the Majin Buu saga, Gohan Once again unleash your hidden potential.
Despite his great potential, Gohan chose a more peaceful and academic life, away from training. However, his protective instincts and need to protect his loved ones brought him back to the path of a warrior.
Gohan’s transformation into Beast form appears in chapter 101 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, symbolizing this return and setting the stage for a possible confrontation with Goku, who has just returned to Earth. This encounter promises to be epic, potentially redefining who is the strongest warrior in the Dragon Ball Super universe.
Gohan’s journey in Dragon Ball Super is a fascinating reminder of his innate potential as well as the dynamism of the series’ storytelling. The rise of Gohan not only challenges the status quo established by Goku and Vegeta, but also enriches the plot with new abilities and exciting confrontations.
