Toriyama released Gohan and here is how

Gohan was at the beginning of a promising character Dragon Ball ofAnd many fans had high expectations for him. In Saga Buu, however, he seemingly abandoned his way as a warrior and instead decided to go to high school, so the fans remained frustrated by what felt like a waste of potential.

Akira Toriyama was a brilliant mangaka and created some of the best manga ever. Yet Gohan, who was the most interesting figure at one point at one point in one moment Dragon Ball And certainly someone who has great potential to be developed.

Gohan was the most popular character

Although the series began serialization in 1985, the first Hustle poll for Dragon Ball The characters came only in 1993, during the Android saga. Gohan was the most popular character with more than 50,000 votes. Goku, however, was slightly behind with about 48,000 votes. Gohan also permanently ranks highly in international public opinion polls.

The Cell saga is an arch where Gohan really shines, to the point that many fans imagined to overcome Goku and become the main character of the story. Most fans were therefore disappointed with what happened in the Buu saga, especially those who loved him.

Gohan was on the way to overcoming Goku and becoming the main character

The fans who thought Gohan would eventually become a protagonist were wrong because he admitted Toriyama that he originally intended to become Gohan the main character. Later, however, he changed his mind and focused on Goku and Veget. He said he did not feel that it was right to turn Gohan into a protagonist. In other words, Toriyama tried to develop Gohan and, according to Torishim, he eventually bored with him.

Gohan was on his way to losing his fears and becoming an amazing warrior. Then in the saga Buu returned to the diligent, peace loving “nerd”, who was a child. Although it would be possible for Gohan to become a scholar and a warrior, he makes sense for his character to lean into a more peaceful approach. In addition, Gohan may have never imagined a threat more dangerous than a cell. So if he is not violent, he makes sense that he has decided to concentrate on studying, something he likes to do, instead of training, what he is not so much. For a series as Dragon BallThe characters trying to be the strongest, just like Goku and Veget, make more sense as the main characters. It remains true, however, that Toriyama could develop Gohan a little better in the Buu saga, especially after things began to deteriorate.

Future Gohan is what the fans wanted to make Gohan

Not only did Gohan seem to follow the “war path”, but the fans were also able to see how strong Gohan could have become in a cell saga. Future tribes shared many things that happened in its timeline and how Gohan tried to keep the country safe after Goku died of a mysterious heart disease. He was the character the fans wanted to make Gohan: an assertive warrior. However, the future Gohan is also his saddest version. In any case, the readers at Gohan were still publicized at the beginning of the Saga Buu, even though he was constantly trained. Toriyama, however, lost interest and pushed him on the siding.

While Gohan might not have had enough reasons to keep his training without a threat, there is something that Toriyama really couldn't develop in the meantime between the cell and Buu Sagas: Gohan's relationship with Piccolo. Piccolo can be considered the second father of Gohan and the one who really taught him how to train. Although Gohan would be sufficiently motivated to constantly train, it is difficult to imagine that Piccolo, who has already attached to him, would simply stop training, and is Chichi's objections. So, although it makes sense for Gohaan to devote himself to education like him, Toriyama released him by exploring his potential properly and just giving up that he was developing him as a character; Instead, he made him retreat. He would not have to become the main character or the strongest, but should not be left aside in the Buu saga.

Gohan is still the strongest in space

It seems that Toriyama later regretted the way he developed Gohana from the Buu Saga. This is very clear in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero A film that finally gave Gohan the momentum he deserved. IN Dragon Ball Super It is clear who Gohan really is: The strongest person in the universe if it is properly provoked.

Dragon Ball Super It is clear that Gohan has some spirit of fighting, but differs from Goku. Instead of trying to be stronger than the others, Gohan tries to release the potential he feels in it. His human nature may be stronger than his Saiyan nature in terms of feelings. He wants to interrupt his own limits, but not necessarily overcome anyone else. The point is that his potential is huge and Toriyama admitted that Gohan is the strongest of all.

Its animal transformation, which is at the same level as Goku's Ultra Instinct in terms of power, is more related to its human side. Dragon Ball Super He will put Gohana again on the right journey and find a perfect way to come in handy to his “stupid nature” with his combat nature: Gohan is fighting to protect those he loves. He becomes the strongest warrior he has ever seen, if they are the ones he loves, in danger. Otherwise, he does not intend to fight someone. There is a clear way in front of him Dragon Ball Super If things continue in this way.
