I'm more talking about the rest of the cast, who've been left behind in the present. This is pretty much the opposite of the tournament arc.sintzu wrote:We all know that's not going to happen.Kagari wrote:Ideally the present timeline will fall into crisis while Goku and co. are away in the future.

Picoyo, Gotenks, Beerus, Whis etc are still here you know. Gohan still won't be needed.Kagari wrote:Ideally the present timeline will fall into crisis while Goku and co. are away in the future.Kishido wrote:And now the hope of Gohan being somehow involved cuz he forgot to ask Trunks is crushed as well.
Read my above post. It'd be cool if the other Z Fighters had a role while Goku was away. I know it's wishful thinking at this point but I'd still like to see it.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Picoyo, Gotenks, Beerus, Whis etc are still here you know.

It would detract from the main arc. Like at beginning of the arc when it kept switching between the future and present. One focus at a time.Kagari wrote:Read my above post.

He's so far at the bottom it's sad.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Picoyo, Gotenks, Beerus, Whis etc are still here you know.

He's already the third strongest on Earth. He's only behind Goku and Vegeta in power. People tend to forget that Piccolo got manhandled by Togama, while Super Saiyan Gohan two-shotted him.apex_pretador wrote:Gohan will be 3rd strongest on the earth when super ends, mark my words.
(depends whether he is SSB lvl or mystic gohan lvl)

In the end it's up to the writers to give him and the other characters something to do. If the story calls for the other characters to get a power up someday, they'll get it. Depending on how long Super runs on for, anything could happen. No one expected Future Trunks to come back, or Mai and the Pilaf Gang to be relevant again. The current arc is also far from over, so we'll see.Kishido wrote:What does it matter?
He is still too weak to face future threats and they have to wait until Daddy and Uncle come for the rescue.

They don't seem to really want to bring any other cast members in. Need we be reminded, Goten has been off-screen most of this arc because...Chi-Chi wants him to study. And the such quick handwaving of removing Piccolo and Krillin by just saying "Oh, they went home" was really disappointing.
The difference is, none of them had an episode dedicated to saying "Let's not bother this character with the main plot, because they're perfectly happy staying on the sidelines".
So is every character not named Vegeta, or one of the gods. So Gohan isn't special in that regard. Piccolo can't even stop someone as powerful as Tagoma.Kishido wrote:What does it matter?

That's not how I ever took Krillin's character at all.GodKaio-Ken wrote:MozillaVulpix wrote:I mean, it's not like Gohan HAD to be specifically relevant in this arc.

Actually I think that makes perfect sense from Krillin. He realized he would never be as strong as Goku/Gang a long time ago and that he really could only get in the way. His fighting spirit really declines throughout Z in a natural way that would make me believe he wants no part in saving the day unless he has to.
Piccolo I agree..very disappointing.
It seemed to me like the more time passed the less ready he was to fight. He seemed to want to focus on his family and normal life rather than training for the next threat. Also when Goku says to leave Krillin was usually the one to say ""Yep lets get out of here Gohan/whoever"TekTheNinja wrote:That's not how I ever took Krillin's character at all.GodKaio-Ken wrote:MozillaVulpix wrote:I mean, it's not like Gohan HAD to be specifically relevant in this arc.

No. He just knows when it's best to retreat. That doesn't mean he's slowly gave up on fighting. It just means he's smart. Hell, he was always like that.GodKaio-Ken wrote:It seemed to me like the more time passed the less ready he was to fight.

I'm not saying he's a wimp or afraid or even useless, I'm just saying it seems like he's accepted his role on the sideline over time.

Your hatred for Piccolo is strong. How strong do you have tagoma weaker than Semi perfect cell? If not who cares if Piccolo can't stop him.HeroR wrote:So is every character not named Vegeta, or one of the gods. So Gohan isn't special in that regard.
