So will "my boy Gohan" finally be redeemed in this arc?

Post by precita » Tue Feb 07, 2017 10:22 pm

As we all know, Gohan's portrayal in Super in terms of fighting has been the worst portrayal of him in the entire franchise. However between the new opening showing him training with Piccolo, him being back in his Ultimate Gohan look and gi from the Buu saga, and having a role in the tournament after sitting out the last one, will "My boy Gohan" finally be redeemed?

What do you think the future holds for, "My boy Gohan?"

Your boy Gohan will do amazing. Trust me, it's not like us Gohan fans have ever been let down before!

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

He doesn't need to be "redeemed"

I would agree if the last time we saw him fight in canon didn't result in him fainting in that pathetic way. Kind of a shame, that could've been a badass movement but they drew him in a pitiful way. The fact that Piccolo had to rescue him like he was a little kid again also didn't help.

I've been watching some reaction videos for the new opening earlier, and the peak of excitement seems to hit when the opening focuses on "My boy Gohan" training. "My boy Gohan", hopefully does something really cool or the disappointment and salt from these fans will be so overwhelming I may have to avoid the internet for a week or so.

As a Gohan fan, I'm not expecting much. But we will see.

Well at the very least we will be able to see Gohan on the show. It's been so long since he has actually been a consistent presence in the episodes.

Will our boy Gohan finally be redeemed? Our boy Gohan, who grew up to not only become the professional scholar he always dreamed of but also a loving and providing family man in addition to part-time superhero turned movie star? Will he finally be redeemed? Are they going to do something with this sack of crap, our boy Gohan?!

At this point I hope our boy Gohan dies.

I hope his last words are, "I'm letting all my boys down, bro."

      It's a living document. This thread has already made me notice how remiss I was in not referring to the character by his full name, "My boy Gohan."

        I agree with this. I think most fans are happy enough to see him actively part of the relevant cast again. I know I am.
        In that sense, they've already redeemed him just by doing that.

          Nah, this is pretty much all of Dragonball YouTubers regardless if Gohan is their favorite. Gotta milk him as much as possible yknow.

          True Kagari. If he becomes an active member of the cast, then I'm already happy.

          I was getting tired of them too.It hyped the Gohan fanbase more than we needed to be hyped tbh. Hopefully with this new arc we can get away from what we hope he does, to talking about what he's actually doing.

          Asking dbz youtubers not to make Gohan videos would be like asking news sites to stop writing about Trump. It's the hot issue. and it will be for a long time. I've luckily reached a place were a fan or youtuber can't influence how I feel about a character, unless it's actually a good analysis of the character.

          Going by the opening, yes. I think this will be the arc that brings Gohan back to the front lines of fighting but hopefully it won't just be this arc.
          July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

          This. Like he doesn't need to be strongest or anything, but the guy will hopefully remain a relevant fighter from here on in.

          Whoa man, I think you mean 'My Strongest Unfused Warrior™ Boy: Chou-Ultimate-Mystic Son "The Highest Potential Out of All of Us" Gohan'.

          But the real burning question is, will "Gohan's boys" still somehow manage to continue to feign surprise when he isn't "redeemed", again, for the twelfth time?
