>>145067006
been awhile since I've read a retarded comment like this
>>145067223
He's right, anon. It's something Toei put in, so it may end up being nothing if Toriyama decides it won't be.

>>145067278
>>145067454
Stop, let the idiots get their hopes up.
>>145067202
Is it any different than what every character except Bulma gets in Super?
>Chi Chi learned to chill in the Buu saga, well, too bad for her she's a fucking cunt again.

>Trunks and Goten grew an admiration and a friendly rivality to see who was the strongest, well, too bad, because Goten is erased from the plot, Trunks got retard because muh waifu Mai and muh romance drama.
>Vegeta in the end of Buu saga developed some respect for Goku, now he's everyone's bitch, a melodramatic shit that gets angry because someone touched his Bulma like in the fanfcitions.
Toriyama should be ashamed for how bad Super is.
>>145067454
Do tell, how do you know what Toriyama writes in Super? its never been confirmed how much he is in this series
>>145067658
>Is it any different than what every character except Bulma gets in Super?
Oh no, I agree, Super basically regressed everyone, some suffered more from it than others.
>>145067658
>Wow he's so mad he became stronger than SS3 for a second there
I can't believe people liked that scene.
I know this is a Gohan thread so it's to be excepted but damn this thread is filled with retards
>>145067848
in the movie it was cute but the series was shit ad stupid. the SSJ3 comment was from roshi so that don't hold a lot of water imo
>>145067900
you mean that every scene with gohan except ep 52 is filler?
>>145067658
>Goku went from a grown man who still loved fighting but understood there were more important things, like raising a successor, to a complete retard who can't even count and can't behave because MUST FIGHT EVERYONE EVEN SHITTERS WHO'RE LESS THAN SS2 LEVEL

>>145068386
You mean Brolly
>>145068457
why do people like brolly?
>>145069823
He is the most badass character in the show hands down.
>>145069823
Most Brolly fans are kids and kids love STRONK characters.
>>145069823
>>145070115
Because in a show with little character depth as is there's nothing wrong with a roided ball of anger beating the shit out of everyone for 30 minutes straight.

you implying gohan wasn't a well written character compared to Brolly?
retard
>>145064900
He is going ot save his family against some cannon fodder probably
>>145071268
Relative quality of writing is meaningless when objective quality of both is still bottom of the barrel. You're a pot calling a very slightly darker kettle black.
>>145071268
You really think a character whose entire character development disappeared, who forgot every lesson he learned EVEN IN SUPER, and continually had to rely on free powerups to participate "well written"?
>>145071434
>a currently air series not yet close to done
>gohan a shit, written terribly
really? plenty of time for stuff to change in super
>>145071523
>He'll turn around, really!
Shouldn't you be holding hands with everyone on /a/ by now?
>>145071572
a major character in DB and has said multiple times that he wants to get stronger and is training. Has been said since his first appearance and very recently in Super by Vegeta that he has the most potential out of all of them and you think they won't do anything with this?
>>145071268
You couldn't tell he was retarded by the fact he likes Broly alone?
>>145071748
They won't do anything with this, just like they didn't the last two times he went through the same development.
>>145071748
Adding to this, the potential thing about Gohan is in both the manga and the anime. That's basically the only way to know for sure something is canon in Super.
>>145071875
They just dedicated an entire episode to saying Gohan's done with fighting. Everyone knows he has the highest potential, he always did. It doesn't matter anymore.
>>145071835
>last 2 times
what SSJ2 "teen" gohan? 7 year skip that makes sense. as for Mystic, he jobbed it happens. he was still powerful and important to the plot in some degree.
(once he lost he was side lined hard with gotenks.)
>>145072059
>piccolo said he's not a fighter
>that means Gohan is gone for good!
shut up, we've know since day one Gohan isn't a fighter. He is however a protector.
>>145072066
>Cell saga
Immediately forgot his lessons and newfound responsibility. We can forgive him for this, since he was young and a little naive.
>Buu Saga
He learns a hard lesson, decides to train again and gets a free powerup. Jobs pathetically, but hey he tried.
>Super BotG
He's still a clown. Gets his wife shot. Apparently still mystic, but doesn't do a thing.
>RoF, barely 1 year later
Gets his shit ruined. Can't protect anyone. Can't turn Mystic. Surely he'll learn the lesson THIS TIME right?
>Doesn't go to the tournament
>Doesn't train anymore
>Had an entire episode dedicated to how he was done fighting
>His character arc has gone full circle, he's now no different from when he was introduced. All that potential wasted, daddy will protect us.
B-but he'll totally get strong THIS TIME.
>>145072117
He is no longer a fighter nor a protector. Doesn't even pretend to be.
>>145072117
>He is however a protector
In order to be that he has to be a fighter. A fighter doesn't have to be a retard obsessed with fighting 24/7 like Goku. Also feels bad for Gokufags, now he is a fucking retard kid, even his GT version was more mature.
>>145072376
>Doesn't even pretend to be.
>runs around as Saiyaman all the time
>doesn't protect
>>145072417
The funny thing is Gohan's potential is so high he could probably remain a scholar and STILL stay ahead of the curve if he tried at all.
>>145072445
>Saiyaman
Anon, that's what the police is for. Fucking Videl can do the same job. Bullying earthling criminals is not the responsibility he has along with his power and potential.
>>145072376
>Doesn't go to the tournament
important conference, he wanted to go
>Doesn't train anymore
there is nothing that confirmed he stopped. He's not goku, he wouldn't abandon his family for months/years on end to train.
>Had an entire episode dedicated to how he was done fighting
that episode was dictated to him and his loving family.
>His character arc has gone full circle, he's now no different from when he was introduced. All that potential wasted, daddy will protect us.
Right
>>145072502
>>that's what the police is for
>DB Series
>Police doing anything
yeah no only good cop we've seen is Krillin.
>>145072572
>important conference, he wanted to go
He passed on the opportunity to travel to a whole 'nother universe to see the greatest combat ever to go to some conference that probably happens twice a year and no one would miss his mediocre ass from.
>there is nothing that confirmed he stopped
If he was training, he'd have missed his conference to go see the tournament, as it would be an invaluable experience. Hell, his fucking family went.
>that episode was dictated to him and his loving family
Yes, the point is that he's got a family and there's peace and goku takes care of everything anyway so he doesn't have to fight anymore.
>>145072622
If Superman dealt exclusively with street-level crime and ignored any bigger, world/universe ending threats he'd also be an irresponsible idiot.
>>145072376
Are you stupid, anon?
The point of Cell saga was Gohan had to get over his fear of killing. He wanted to protect his friends and planet, but he never killed someone. He had to understand in order to do so he had to sacrifice something. He stopped training because Goku promised him the planet was going to be safe because he was going to stay dead.
In the Buu saga Gohan didn't hesitate in trying to kill Buu, but he had to understand Earth would be always in danger and because he had the power to protect it he had to take responsibility in train to stay strong because daddy wasn't going to be there to fix his messes. But Toriyama ditched this plot when he revived Goku, he still could go along with it though.
And in Super I bet he already forgot that and just wanted to make a series about Goku and his bitch Vegeta.
>>145072502
>>145072572
>>145072782
Can you stop? Toriyama doesn't want to let Gohan be his own character, this show is about Goku and his bitch Vegeta, in the sides there are Goku's master; Whis and Beerus and Vegeta's owner; Bulma, that's that.
>>145072875
>He stopped training because Goku promised him the planet was going to be safe because he was going to stay dead.
Irresponsible and stupid.
>And in Super I bet he already forgot that and just wanted to make a series about Goku and his bitch Vegeta.
>Can you stop? Toriyama doesn't want to let Gohan be his own character
In other words, Gohan is a terribly written character overall. Who had all his character development destroyed.
Honestly? At least brolly never pretended to be anything but a simple force of destruction.
>>145072782
>If Superman dealt exclusively with street-level crime and ignored any bigger, world/universe ending threats he'd also be an irresponsible idiot.
who was there waiting for Frieza's army in super?
that's right Gohan and the gang. goku and vegeta were long off. Gohan wasn't powerful enough to protect anything, so he has a realization and begins training, but he still has a real life outside of training so he can't do it 100% of the time like goku/vegeta
>>145073040
>who was there waiting for Frieza's army in super?
A weak, untrained and ultimately useless gohan.
>so he has a realization and begins training, but he still has a real life outside of training
He has more than enough potential to do both. Passingup on the tournament not only confirms he doesn't care about becoming stronger anymore, but also that he's a shit fucking scholar who passes up the opportunity to visit a different goddamn universe.
>>145073129
>A weak, untrained and ultimately useless gohan.
and yet he is still stronger than the other Z fighters. excluding goku/vegeta obviously
>also that he's a shit fucking scholar who passes up the opportunity to visit a different goddamn universe.
not sure where you're going with this. Earth is full of retards that think Satan is a super powerful hero.
Gohan coming back with technologies and info from a different universe would be ignored. hell they were just fighting so its not like they get would see much.
Only thing he really missed out on was the fight and super shenron.
>>145073474
>and yet he is still stronger than the other Z fighters
What a fucking accomplishment, considering everyone but piccolo peaked by namek and piccolo himself peaked in the android saga.
>not sure where you're going with this. Earth is full of retards that think Satan is a super powerful hero.
>Gohan coming back with technologies and info from a different universe would be ignored. hell they were just fighting so its not like they get would see much.
>Only thing he really missed out on was the fight and super shenron.
It's not about technologies, you imbecile. He requires curiosity to be a good scholar. If he passes up the opportunity to see something no mortal had ever witnessed before that would be directly related to his presumably secondary purpose of getting stronger, then he's bad at both purposes and either apathetic or stupid.
>>145072993
>Gohan is a terribly written character overall.
I wouldn't call him a bad written character when it's the author who is bad at writing him. Gohan in Z was well written.
>>145073648
>Wouldn't call him poorly written when the author wrote him poorly
Do you think the series would have been as good/better if they had done what they were originally going to do and have Gohan take over for Goku?
>>145073582
>He requires curiosity to be a good scholar.
it also takes discipline too. hence why he had to show up at that conference, for all we know that conference was the build up of years of research for him and he finally got to show it.
this is why I REALLY want super/toriyama to show off Gohan in his "scholar" mode. he supposed to be really smart yet Gohan has yet to show off his intelligence.
>>145073713
it'd be completely different. I don't mind Goku lead. Gohan large side character its just the complete and utter neglect he's getting in Super is really annoying.
>>145073816
>it also takes discipline too
The discipline to completely waste every once of his both hard earned and freely given superpowers. You're only proving my point further. There's not a thing he could be doing that would beat going to another universe, especially considering we know in the end his achievements are based on ki and study of it.
>he supposed to be really smart yet Gohan has yet to show off his intelligence.
I think by now it's more than clear he's not. He was always ahead of the class through effort and he got outsmarted by majin buu, and can't seem to learn his lesson after the third fucking time.
>>145073945
>we know in the end his achievements are based on ki and study of it.
>video game story
>canon
>>145073713
Drangonball will not go on without Goku. He is the mascot of the series.
If we don't count it as canon it will only mean gohan wasted his entire life in a job he was never very good at and didn't need to do anyway.
I mean, isn't he a researcher at CC right now? The company owned by the Briefs? Do I smell nepotism?
>>145073945
>You're only proving my point further
how so? he needs to be disciplined in his field so he can become a better person. running off to a different universe when he promised to show up at a conference shows just how important it was to him.
>He was always ahead of the class through effort and he got outsmarted by majin buu
battle intelligence and actual intelligence are two completely different things. Bulma is hella smart and helps a great deal, yet she couldn't win a fight to save her life.
Just having gohan do something smart would help a great deal
>>145072993
Gohan's peak was at the cell saga, enter the buu saga he got anally anhilated.
>>145074101
There's basically no details on what he does as a scholar, other than he likes it.
>>145073816
dude they looked so cool back then.
This was Gohan's peak.
Well future gohan was AWESOME as FUCK! but they turned him into a pathetic whimp.
I wish they would have kept Gohan's look and strenght from his future version.
>>145074123
>how so?
His attitude towards his supposed purpose of getting stronger and his previous history demonstrates total lack of discipline. Seems to me that he's extremely narrow minded if he'd pass up on a chance to do both expanding his knowledge and witnessing the strongest fighters of 2 universes because of some earth conference.
>battle intelligence and actual intelligence are two completely different things
He has demonstrated neither. If he was intelligent, it would show in his fights. Even piccolo demonstrated cleverness. Right now at best we can assume he's studious and nothing more.
>>145074233
>Gohan's entire character is based on being a scholar
>never see it
>>145074314
What a well written character.
>>145074277
>his previous history demonstrates total lack of discipline
7 years of peace, makes sense why he got lazy. as for after buu, he was still very strong. its just a god come out of nowhere and one shots everyone doesn't make him weak. ROF makes zero sense.
>If he was intelligent, it would show in his fights
how would knowing how to do Dirac delta function help in a fist fight?
>>145074475
>as for after buu, he was still very strong
And didn't train, again, demonstrating difficulty learning and lack of discipline.
And then after God came and kicked his ass, WITHIN A YEAR he was a lanklet who couldn't even go mystic, demonstrating superhuman lack of self discipline.
>how would knowing how to do Dirac delta function
You're confusing the shit he crammed with a actually being intelligent.
>>145074543
>You're confusing the shit he crammed with a actually being intelligent.
whats the difference? he is book smart, he got perfect scores on all his tests in High School. how would any of those subjects help in a fight with someone like Majin Buu?
>>145074543
>WITHIN A YEAR he was a lanklet who couldn't even go mystic, demonstrating superhuman lack of self discipline.
Like I said that makes Zero sense on how that worked out.
>>145074381
this would be more Toriyama's fault for not showing it.
>>145074634
Being able to do well in school isn't a measure of intelligence. It just means he studied hard. He'll never be more than a mediocre scholar.
>>145074634
>Like I said that makes Zero sense on how that worked out.
True, but while the effects were exaggerated, his attitude being the same and his lack of learning or discipline are exemplified by it.
>>145074680
>It's thewriter's fault he's not well written
Well no shit, jesus.
>>145074475
Gohan is not a good fighter like Goku.
>>145074696
>Being able to do well in school isn't a measure of intelligence
yes it does
>He'll never be more than a mediocre scholar.
nice head canon
>his lack of learning or discipline are exemplified by it.
How so he wasn't as strong as the villains this time around. in Buu saga gohan fucked up and lost. in Super he isn't as strong as the others and lost.
how he lost so much strength in such a short time is mind boggling considering he only lost a little bit in a 7 year gap.
>>145074951
>nice head canon
I don't see an unintelligent if dedicated scholar ever amounting to much. He's certainly no genius and moderate success is not going to mean much, his family is rich and powerful.
>How so he wasn't as strong as the villains this time around.
Because he refuses to accept the lesson that the story has beaten his face with many times: he has the power to make a difference, but he needs to cultivate it to be of any worth.
>>145075024
>Because he refuses to accept the lesson that the story has beaten his face with many times: he has the power to make a difference, but he needs to cultivate it to be of any worth.
this could be fixed if he actually got some screen time.
>>145075107
Of course he could be fixed. He's had every opportunity to be fixed. But he won't be. And even if he gets screentime again, chances are it'll be like the other times: he'll get a free powerup avoiding any need of character growth from him, job, then fade again. Guy can't learn because he's terribly written. Poor guy.
