Hey guys, I am ‘ The Fan Guy’ and in this video I’ll talk about the future of Gohan
in Dragon Ball Super.
So, ever since the beginning of Dragon Ball Super, that is the direct continuation of
Dragon Ball Z. We the fans have been expecting to see Gohan getting re-introduced as badass
character again. In between Dragon Ball Z and its canon continuation we had a non-canon
and a very unsuccessful and fan made-tier series Dragon Ball GT. Though GT has nothing
to do with the official story they did use the well established Dragon Ball characters.
And in the entire series Gohan had been completely irrelevant. So that further increased our
thirst to see him back in action.
However, till now we have already seen 3 arcs or 41 episodes of Dragon Ball Super and we
are yet to see any mentionable development of Gohan. He was a bystander when Beerus appeared
on earth and later got screwed by Frieza. Also he didn’t participate in the tournament
because apparently he had a conference which was more important than the fate of the earth.
Though we did get some hints that Gohan will be relevant again.
Now, the question is will Gohan return or not?
Though there is no official confirmation I personally am 100% sure and certain that Dragon
Ball Super indeed has some plans for Gohan. He is extremely fan popular and sicne Dragon
Ball Super is of a completely different league than GT and is being written by Toriyama.
I believe he won’t waste Gohan like that.
We did get some moments that strongly suggests Dragon Ball has some plans. Like, against
Frieza though he couldn’t do anything mentionable unlike the movies he got a decent amount of
screen time. His failure was highlighted he got a moment where he tried and failed. And
they showed it, they gave him screen time to how show weak he has become. How vulnerable
he is. Then, before the tournament we got a segment where Gohan trained with Picollo.
In order to be prepared for any sudden threats. Thus this shows that Dragon Ball Super is
constantly giving Gohan some roles that I think they somehow will connect with future
plots.
But as we know Gohan currently isn’t a fighting guy. So the matter of curiosity is if they
do decide to bring Gohan back what will be the motivation?
I mean why will Gohan be like, ‘ I’ve been a *** for a long time. I must return
now. ‘What will make him change his ways of lameness. The earth being at stake!?
Well that didn’t work out quite well since Firza already did that? Now, what might possibly
happen that will unleas the very popular inner rage of Gohan. That rage that made Gohan do
all the awesome things he did in the past?
I think it has to be something very personal. And what do we have now that we didn’t have
before?
Pan. I think if Pan is somehow hurt or is under direct threat that will unleash a different
level of rage from Gohan. Well, that’s just my assumption not necessary to happen. Toriyama
might also find other legit ways to make him return.
However, I would like to mention that Gohan was at his peak of popularity as a Teen. Yes,
when Teen Gohan defeated Cell. Like that Gohan had the highest amount of popularity. And
I don’t think no matter what they do, they can bring back that amount of awesomeness
teen gohan had unless Gohan becomes a teen again. The teen/ kid gohan was like comparatively
unskilled in fighting, lacked confidence and knowledge of fighting and yet under pressure
would surprise everyone and beat the crap out of them. So that was fun to watch a young
character with immense potential. The reason I brought that up is because I think Super
is trying to make Gohan as close as possible to that form. I mean he doesn’t train anymore;
he was completely traumatized in the battle field against Frieza.
So the next time he is under a threat he would probably be comparatively unskilled and vulnerable.
And then something crazy would happen that would touch him emotionally and he would gain
powers or burst out his anger and surprise everyone the way he used to do before. So
if you think deeply that might be the reason they are keeping Gohan silent like this is
because in this way they can go closest to the originally established of Gohan.
So, taking fan demand and plot in consideration my prediction is Gohan is coming back soon.
There’s one more thing to think. That is if Gohan does come back what type of transformation
will he get?
Well I already made a video on that and I am going to attach here. Enjoy

So, the question is what transformation will he get?
The first thing that comes to my mind is Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan transformation. Basically,
because it’s the new thing Dragon Ball Super introduced. But, I personally don’t want
to see Gohan getting god ki or transforming into a Saiyan God. Because, I feel it won’t
be interesting. We already have Goku and Vegeta with that and I want something different now.
Besides, I feel God ki should remain exlusive to Goku and Vegeta. If everyone starts getting
it will lose the importance and specialty it has and the weight the name itself carries.
Then, another option is normal Super Saiyan transformation leveling up. How about Gohan
going Super Saiyan 3? But, again I think that wouldn’t make too much sense either. Since,
Super Saiyan 3 Goku was proven to absolutely useless against Beerus sama. And I think Super
Saiyan 3 transformation wouldn’t look good on Gohan either. So, could he escape Super
Saiyan 3 transformation like Vegeta did and approach towards a super saiyan 4 transformation?
This could bring a variation to the show and something the fans could be excited about.
But, then again SSJ4 transformation requires a complex process besides; I think Akira Toriyama
wouldn’t want to do something that already happened in the non-canon accidental, disaster
series Dragon Ball GT yet.
Do we have other options in hand?
Gohan’s hidden potential wasn’t unlocked by the old kai on Buu saga. And that form
is known as Mystic form could he be progressing with that? Who knows!
Another thing that has a slight chance of happening is Gohan somehow ending up at universe
6 and receiving training from someone there too. I know this is too far stretched but
I am just trying to look at all the options.
Other stretched assumptions could be Gohan transforming into something powerful related
with the Ape form and maybe getting his tail back or something like that.
Or Akira Toriyama could come up with a new Gohan exclusive transformation. There could
be something done with Gohan’s rage! You know that’s Gohan’s thing maybe he gets
too angry and transform into something really epic and unstoppable.
Fella’s we have to wait to find out what happens to him and if he gets what he deserves.
Dragon Ball Super is bringing up a lot of things to be excited about! I can’t wait
to see what happens next!
