If you think that Gohan is ruined then you never liked Gohan in the first place. It's weird that powerlevelfags attached themselves to his character when Goku enjoys fighting (like they want Gohan to) and is almost always the strongest anyways (like they want Gohan to be).
>>
>>152625846
They never actually liked Gohan or understood his character. They just liked the idea of inserting into an 11 year old with MAXIMUM POWER, when they watched the Cell Saga back when they were 11. They liked Gohan's power level, not his character.
>>
>Has there ever been a character more ruined than Gohan?

God, you Gohan fags are intolerable. I'm not even exactly a fan of the character per se, but even I grew to appreciate what he became. If you aren't able to see just how far Gohan has matured as the series progressed, then you can't exactly call yourself a Gohan fan either.

If you want to call him ruined, blame it on his mother, she's the one that wanted him to be more than just a mindless Saiyan and him having a proper job and family.

Just because he's a pacifist doesn't mean that his irresponsibly wasting away his fighting talent and just hiding behind his father like he used to when he was 4 isn't character regression, especially since his character arc in DBZ was precisely about manning up and fighting to protect his peaceful life and his friends and loved ones.

It's especially pathetic since he was never shown to be smart in DB/Z, and despite his supposed merits as a scholar he seems stuck in mediocrity in an unimportant position with a boss he's afraid of. Which, considering he's close friends with the richest and smartest people on the planet, is a real laugh.
I bet he's mainly living off Videl's money too.

More like the guy who was indoctrinated by his mother into being a scholar despite never being particularly good at it (considering how much studying he had to do).
>>

Honestly, if you look at anime filler especially and at DBS, chichi seems downright ashamed of her husband, it's kind of sad. Goku could earn millions doing all kinds of work suited to his talents, but no he has to work the fields and not fly in public because it's "normal".

Gohan is his job.
>>
>>152625846
Yes, Goku loves fighting but the same can be said to Gohan (of course not as much as Goku). The only reason why Goku died in cell arc was only because Gohan wanted to fight Cell more. The same reason applies to Buu arc. He could have finished Buu but Gohan decided to toy with him and whole thing ended in disaster.

If anything Gohan enjoys fighting as much as studying.

Yamcha wasn't a huge waste of potential. I don't think Yamcha went out in a particularly pathetic manner, he simply saw his limits and retired. In fact, Super's been treating him as a bigger joke than DBZ ever did, with how they left him at home when Frieza invaded because he's too weak (yet bringing roshi), and with how the baseball game was one big joke at his expense.

Yeah that's the thing that always bothers me about the people who think Gohan's character is better because he's a non fighter.
He's never shown as smart or intelligent. He doesn't use tactics, HELL GOKU USES MORE TACTICS AGAINST CELL WITH IT KAMEHAMEHA THEN GOHAN EVER USES, he never uses any interesting or unique moves like Piccolo or even fucking Yamcha and anytime a science problem comes up everyone asks Bulma.

I have never been a fan of Instant Madness Powerup Gohan, and I don't care about his powerlevel, but it would be nice to see him being relevant to the plot in his own manner.

He was powerful in Trunks' future, even with that he never had a chance to win in that situation, he lost but he was a cool character and mentor figure and the way he handled that situation is something not other Gohan has been able to emule.

He could at least take Piccolo's old job of being the one who holds the situation (through dialogue or tricks if necessary), the level headed one, but he's even denied that.

I love his family side and his relation with Piccolo, but DB has already relegated too many characters, why him too?

Gohan likes training and fighting, he just doesn't live for it, and really hates killing.

Best Gohan was Buu saga, he was still a fighter but slacked off. He felt he had a responsibility to be strong, and wanted to fight dabura etc. He was no different than trunks, having a natural urge to fight and train but not so much that it consumes him. A nature that makes sense for a saiyan-human hybrid

This Gohan is trash. Gohan had no interest in being a scholar his mom just forced him too, and when you do something long enough of course he developed an interest in the stuff but he never had a dream of becoming a great scholar.

Why would DB show a Gohan lecture when it's a fighting manga? Also a guy being happy and being there for his family is pathetic? How old are you?

Nice headcanon


Gohan does not enjoy fighting, he already saved the planet once, he doesn't owe anything to anyone and got every right to do what he want to do.
>>
>>152634963
>You realize he's only human
Bullets wouldn't harm him if he had kept up his training. That was the point of the episode, Krillin realized he had really let himself go; being harmed by a bullet is unacceptable to him.

>>152635028
>It's annoying how in DB bullets would basically do nothing but make holes in the stronger characters when they're children, yet now that they're basically gods bullets kill them.
Bullets haven't killed anyone in Super. Krillin was shot in the arm and bled a little bit, but he wasn't really injured much.

You do realize that Yamcha was always a joke/parody character right? He didn't fall from anything or has to redeem anything. He always was a fucking joke character of the "pretty boy who likes to show off" since his introduction in DB.
It just amaze me how many "yamchafags" don't even understand the character.
>>
>>152635224
Everyone forgets that Yamcha's only victory was when against a starved Goku when he first met him, who then proceeded to kick his ass when he actually ate some food. People should be complaining that Yamcha has been nothing but a joke.

Krillin was like that as well, his first fight vs Goku, he got quickly destroyed.

The difference is that Krillin got a girlfriend unlike Yamcha.

Krillin as a kid was tanking machine gun fire.

let's go down the list:

goku (became a fighting god only to need trunks help to kill a weaker version of himself)
beerus (is a rat)

He's not obsessed with getting stronger like Goku. He doesn't live to fight like his father or Vegeta does. However Toriyama for no reason took him in a direction contrary to his personality. Kid grows up quite literally dreaming of adventure and then poof, book worm scholar. Not to mention, are we even told of what exactly he's studying? Or hell, even at the end of DBZ, he's supposed to be giving a presentation but on what and to whom?

why is he ruined? he never really was a fighter. i mean he had talent, but all he wanted was a peacefull live all the time. he never wanted to fight and him starting a family only makes sense.
only downside is that he was always potraid as super powerfull, but never managed to do something relevant except for cell.
also if im not completely mistaken gohan wants to train again as he realized someone has to protect his dear ones, and since he has talent it would be a shame to waste it since this talen is what his dear ones could protect so we can expect him to get powerfull once again.
i like gohan overall

Say what you want, but Vegeta worked much better as a one-time villain, or even as an asshole anti-villain who does his own thing like on Frieza saga. But then, out of the blue Akira decided to marry him to fucking Bulma (srsly wtf) and made him stick around to be an underachiever, and after getting tired of Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin, he turned Vegeta into the second most prominent character, even though Vegeta has 0 personality for it

Granted, however, he fathered Future Trunks (a much superior character)

>>152641973
vegeta marrying bulma kinda makes sense. in super its explained that saiyan woman are pretty loudmouthed, just like chichi and bulma are, so vegeta felt some natural attraction to her.
originally him staying around also made sense as he wanted to beat goku finally after his pride got destroyed by him twice and thus trained and always came back to check if goku is back. he than had to team up to defeat various enemies and since bulma was loudmouthed and never took shit from him he grew the natural affection for her. after fighting freezer and cell the character became brothers in arms and even if vegeta never wanted to admit it he grew to like them which you saw when he blew himself up

also i dont think vegeta ever was a real bad guy. he was under friezas rule and had to obey, so better grew cold emotions to do that work. after frieza was gone he became nicer

>>152642716

well, yeah, it is kinda out of character for vegeta as he usually rather dies than bow down to anyone. however he got some traumatic experiences with beerus, and beerus could blow up the planet in a splitsecond killing everyone dear to him including bulma so he takes the bite into the sour apple. later one bulma gets slapped by beerus at which point vegeta starts going full rage mode and seems to be even stronger in ssj2 than goku was in ssj3 as he actually landed a few blows on beerus and resisted a few punches while goku was knocked out at a soft touch of beerus. it maybe was just to show how powerfull beerus is that even vegeta bows down to him, but i feel it shows more that he actually grew attached to his family

well, you can count it like that, but i see the all the small advantures they had, the experiences they gathered, the training at roshi, meeting kami, fighting enemies from the underworld from urenai baba, exploring an underwater piratecave, meeting arale, destroying the red ribbon army, closing the gates to the demonworld. seeing the little boy who never left his forest explore the whole world and try to understand all the weird things of our society like when he went into bulmas city the first time.picollo daimao overtaking the world and being the most evil of them all, who has some story with gokus master. goku traveling back in time. the tournaments itself were adventures basically.

Gohan was unbelievably smart for a five year old. Hated violence, though. He was a scholar forced into being a fighter from day one. The only demi-saiyan with a seemingly natural disposition towards being a martial artist is Pan; even Goten stopped giving a shit eventually.

I feel worse for Yamcha and Krillin. Their passions actually were martial arts and they ended up giving up on them; Gohan's following his and is happier than he's ever been following a childhood filled with emotional trauma.

>>152632681
Gohan went 7 years without fighting or training. He obviously didn't like it that much.

It doesn't make any sense at all.

Of course it's just filler, so it doesn't matter.

Dragon Ball had a lot more exploration. Korrins Tower, Muscle Tower, all the different places Goku visited on his own, Baba's place. The locales visited in the series are incredibly diverse. DBZ on the other hand, well even going to another planet we see bland generic wastelands constantly.

Why arw you fags talking about Gohan Trunks is way cooler.
>>
>>152649082
One year in Saiyan saga, six months in future trunks, seven years between Cell and Buu. It just feels longer because of how much screentime they get together, but it's definitely been less than half of Gohan's life, all things considered.

Piccolo is a father figure to Gohan because kids develop a theory of mind at about 5 years old, and that's when they start forming impactful social relationships. Goku, Gohan and Piccolo trained for three years to prepare for the Androids, and so in that sense they both raised him, presumably with Piccolo continuing to do so after Goku died for the second time.
>>
What pisses me off is how Gohan was made into a doormat scholar. Given his character growing up, he should have been chided toward academics(due to his mother's obsession with forcing him into it) and had continued training at least the bare minimum not to lose his ability just from fear alone of another bad guy showing up.

Toriyama is a gag writer first and Super is a Sunday morning cartoon but sometimes I think Gohan is seriously fucked up in the head. The "Gohan changes completely when he become The Great Saiyaman" gag sounds more like he's really repressed for all the shit he endured during his childhood. It's like he's schizophrenic or something. Isn't his dream of being a perfect father and husband a way to overcompesate his own shitty childhood? Again, this is sperging over a kids cartoon.

His Namekian origins were foreshadowed during the Piccolo Jr tournament.

It was this for a chunk of the Pilaf saga before shifting gears towards action adventure and martial arts fighting during the first budokai.
That's maybe 20 chapters.

>His Namekian origins were foreshadowed during the Piccolo Jr tournament.
You mean the one time they mentioned he might be an alien?

Toriyama didn't foreshadow shit, he never wrote that way to begin with. It was all just weekly stuff for him. Sure he knew things like eventually Goku would go to the Tenkaichi Budokai, but he didn't know what he was going to do on the way. He used the same method for Dr. Slump

>>
>>152656057
>Like when Goku actually met Arale. Completely original
Yes, that brief three chapter crossover is totally representative of all 200 chapters of the classic Dragon Ball.
Let's ignore the three tournament arcs and the rest of the Red Ribbon storyline. Or how the Piccolo storyline is the darkest saga next to the Android saga and spans a third of the series.

Dragon Ball is more fantastical and humor oriented than what it became later on but it was always a gradual transition. Describing it as "Dr. Slump mixed with Journey of the West" is outright wrong unless you're only discussing the first volume.

>Toriyama didn't foreshadow shit, he never wrote that way to begin with. It was all just weekly stuff for him.
Read some interviews.
He didn't originally plan out Kami and Piccolo being Namekians when they were introduced but he'd figured out the basics of that backstory by the time they met during the tournament.

They are different kind of manga. Dr Slump doesn't need a lot of explaing due to it being solely a gag manga.

>Goku really didn't need his tail explained in a world ruled by a dog
It needed. No one in the DB universe asked any questions about the king being a dog but literally everyone who met Goku didn't believe their eyes when they saw the tail. Animal people were an accepted thing in the world, not magical tails who turn you into a giant monkey.

>Not even relevant by the time she gets to the Tenkaichi Budokai
My point is that she never were top 10 human

Meeting arale is an adventure? The tournaments were adventures? Really
You have a very loose definition of adventures that can also be used for DBZ too, The saiyan backstory and the story of Trunks alone blow out every thing you mentionned in terms of quality (unless you value more the light-heartedness side of DB) and we got way more character development out of Z than we did out of DB.
Not saying that DB is shit, it was definitely a blast seeing a guy who lived in the woods discovering the values and common sense of society and many other things.

If he and dende aren't on new namek discussing the super dragon balls

Piccolo is trying create or hide his dragon balls because....reasons.

Let's be honest about something.
Piccolo is the strongest namekian to ever exist and might already have the same type of powers that guru has.
Can unlock powers talk to people in the other world have access to godki etc etc.


And Guru's Dragon balls were retarded powerful and he was probably at a powerlevel of what a few hundred k?


What will happen if Piccolo starts to become more and more mystical in nature, use his namekian powers, on top of being a powerful fighter? How powerful will his Dragon Balls be?

I'm thinking strong enough to do basically fucking anything in the universe. I'm also thinking that his dragon balls will be the size of small mountains or small cities and be hidden throughout the galaxy.
BUT they'll never do that, mainly because of GT assfucking the entire concept.

Nah, its pretty accurate.
I mean, think about it, Gohan never got to be a kid.
All his mother wanted him for was to study and all his father wanted to really do with him was train, and if his father was dead he'd be training with the jolly green giant.
The only time we really see him having a day off is filler or the movies, and even then its his mother letting him wander in the fucking woods with the guy who kidnapped him.

Fuck, he probably never saw another kid until fuckin Dende.

And then theres people that go "Oh Goku probably spent plenty of time with him that wasn't training" (even though, going by the events you see, that doesn't seem likely), you have to ask if it was actual father-son time and not "Its dinner, guess its time for family now"

>Stockholm Syndrome

Not really stockholm syndrome. While he did kidnap him, he didn't do so for nefarious purposes. He did so because he saw Gohan's potential and wanted to make him realize it, also to prepare for the Saiyans.. Somewhere along the way though they developed a father son relationship which helped change Piccolo from being the green alien man that wanted to kill Goku and take over Earth to being a protector of it.
>>
>>152668035
The zenkais got retarded in the Frieza arc then after that the Saiyans never saw any gains like that again.
>>
>>152667851
Oh shit, did he absorb Bubbles, Gregory and King Kai after reforming? That...could be an interesting Super Plot point.
>>
>>152668035
Zenkai was a worse plot device than the Time Chamber.
>>
>>152668751
Zenkai is supposed to be getting stronger after recovering right? It's basically a human quality^10.
>>
>>152668751
Zenkais were bad but the plot chamber was way worse.

I'm still wondering why future Popo or Goku in the afterlife never contacted Gohan or Trunks for them to go there just to do some situps and come back to fart the Androids out of existence.

>>
>>152669319
Even if they didn't,Dr Briefs or even Bulma could build one within what, a month?

>>152669269
This makes much more sense. Though future timeline gives up a bit too easily it seems. Modern timeline would have been channeling the dead through Baba or some shit to try and find it.
>>
>>152668035
That reminds me, if they want to be so stronk, why don't they just gather some senzu beans and abuse zenkai boost just like Vegeta did with Dende?
>>
>>152669413
In the Super manga, it was revealed that Goku and Vegeta are already at a point where they get no power from Zenkai anymore.

Black's boosts are due to his regenerated cells bonding better with his mind after each recovery.
>>
>>152667872
I thought Kami was a mystic type and now that Piccolo absorbed/fused with him he has both warrior/mystic abilities?

Fuck man, I'm a Piccolofag but I think we can all agree that namekian abilities are way more interesting than saiyans with their boring ass transformations and prophecies that are retconned 2 episodes after they become true. Too bad green slug men don't boost ratings and merchandising sales.
>>
>>152669392
No, they can't. Briefs' better space ship was shit compared to Katatsu's, and that was even shittier compared to Goku's
>>
>>152669539
>No they can't

So Briefs can only build a spaceship once and never again because plot?
>>
>>152669492
>Black's boosts are due to his regenerated cells bonding better with his mind after each recovery.
No, Black boost are zenkais. "Bond saiyan cells and godly mind" thing is about use better his body and being able to go SS, SSGSS, etc. You can see a clear difference, in chapter 19 Black is totally fucked so he got a zenkai when was healed, in chapter 20 he's just a bit injured when Zamasu heals him so he doesn't get any boost besides learn how use his SSGSS form because his new cells are more linked to his mind.

To be honest the Saiyans aren't even needed most of the time, it's normal for Gohan to have a life outside of fighting because Earth isn't perpetually in danger. Goku and Vegeta are the way they are because they're full saiyans and are too retarded to do anything else but train for their next fight. Gohan is only half saiyan so it's different for him.
>>
>>152669611
>>Briefs built a spaceship that got to Namek for Goku
Never ever. Briefs only updated Goku's old saiyan pod. They don't have more Freeza army pods or namekian spaceships so they can't go Namek anymore.

I missed the portion about this one being made of his pod's "Scraps". Doesn't really mean much to though. Briefs' third ship that Vegeta trained on would have probably been more than enough to get there.

Just caught up in the manga. I thought the U6 tournament was handled worse for the most part, particularly the Hit fight, but the Zamasu arc is ironing out a lot of the sloppy writing the anime had.

I wish the manga was weekly so it didn't have to rush and could properly pace shit. It's a shame we have two half-realized versions of Super's story instead of a definitive one.

>people STILL don't realize that Gohan was lying and actually had to actively suppress his urge to fight and kill, which was fully shown in his SSJ2 state

The Saiyan blood within him rages to this day, pushing him to fight. He made the Great Saiyaman persona so he could get that sense of excitement from fighting without feeling like he's betraying himself.

It's even readdressed in the latest episode. He's incredibly excited when he realizes he can fight Goku as Saiyaman. He's incredibly into it and happy when the fight starts, just like Goku.

Gohan wants to be a scholar - that's his human side. Gohan also wants to fight and kill - that's his saiyan side. One is accepted wildly here while the other is wildly denied, despite both being true.

It's the exact same for Trunks. He -enjoyed- destroying Frieza and Cold.

I had no issue with Masako before, but for some reason her voice acting in this fight bothered me. I guess it sounds weird to me hearing her voice both Goku and Gohan.

It was really good writing and was psychologically appropriate. He was flustered and not very adept at sucking up so he looked awkward.

His rage afterwards was partly because he sucked up to him in advance, it did nothing, he felt humiliated and used and of course Bulma got slapped too. That was the trigger.

One of the only good and consistent character progression of DBZ. Not everyone has to fight constantly, him giving it up to be a family man and scholar is much more interesting.
Of course, it fits rather strangely in the Shonen and I understand, but it's still a nice take on it.
Krillin has a similar progression, but he gave up fighting as well cuz he couldn't keep up (whereas Gohan simply didn't want to). Both have given it up for their families as well, however.

It's not bad, it just sucks that most characters don't have a lot of variety within their paths and that makes it look repetitive and shitty, and boring. Super has two people that matter, with only one being actually important. That is the main flaw here (and has been for a long time).

No, that's incorrect. Yamcha is the "Wow, -insert character here- must be really strong to take out Yamcha!" and martial artist exposition character. To call him a gag character is to also call Goku and the rest gag characters back then...which wouldn't be too wrong.

Human power ups, through Shenlong or whatever. Foes who can absorb the power of others (basically Androids). Techniques, like actual martial arts, mattering more than power levels. But the manga is at such a point where this is impossible to ever consider. If fights were won by simply outsmarting the opponent through diverse martial arts skills, it never would have gone as far to outsource every other character.
Some humans with their style would remain important as they can perfect it better than the protagonist, thus giving off the importance to characters other than Goku. They all are equal, only perhaps Goku had more natural skill or curiosity (as well because he's an alien, of course).
He himself would have had an advantage over other Sayans in the end because they only brawl and are destructive in nature, whereas Goku has actually learned martial art skills he can use to fuck over these opponents.
Even Frieza would suddenly not be weaker than the Androids, he just had a literal alien style. Whereas Androids were programmed with every style imaginable, thus even more dangerous than any other foe they seen before. If both of them could have beaten each other would remain a mystery as they were not programmed with literal space martial arts.
The manga coulda still used explosions, beam blasts, flying and super speed as well... but it still would have been relevant to the techniques, diet, or transformations (also done by martial arts or alien shit or magic) they'd been using.
