-Gohan-
Toei really went over the top in ROF arc. His lack of training was evident in the Movie, there was no need to bury him like that.

But I have to say, Gohan's fanbase is one the worst ever.
A lot of his fans, don't respect the fact that he's a nerd and different from Goku. They want him to be like Goku. Love fighting and be a "badass".
Exactly the same character. Otherwise, he's "ruined" and sucks. That's stupid.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Goku doesn't exactly sound proud of Gohan as a fighter...
Dragon Ball Super - Chapter 6 wrote:Vegeta: “What about Gohan? Frankly, he’s probably the one with the highest potential.”
Goku: “No way! He does nothin’ but study all the time. He can’t even find his dougi anymore!”
Dragon Ball Super - Chapter 7 wrote:Goku: “Hey Videl, where’s Gohan?”
Videl: “There was some important academic conference today, so he couldn’t come.”
Goku: “Geez, that guy…”
Yes, but that's not making fun of him. And life = training, in Goku's mind.

Is the episode title for episode 30 translated into English, also we might get to see monaca in the Anime, I wonder who voices him and how it sounds like......

I 100% Agree with this.I don't understand this Gohan is ruined because he's not ''badass'' anymore thing.It's like most of Gohan fans only start to like him in the Cell Games.

I know this is off topic and it was some time ago but I guess I was right about that nine star dragon ball on the Super manga cover. It must have been an error as the SDBs come in a set of 7 just like the rest.

Probably not. FUNi were also the people who took down that Over8000 fansub group a few months back.

I think they just go after anything using the Dragon Ball brand.

I'm also a big fan of Gohan! :P Are there also other people here who think that something is going to happen on earth? Or will Gohan fill up the space in the team?

Probably the first option, maybe Champa minions will start to threaten Earth while the tournament is happening and just one warrior is there to protect everyone, his name is... JOHN CENA! SON GOHAN!

Wait Funi did that!? How do you know that?
I thought it were Toei and/or the Japanese Government.

I now present to you a Facebook comment from a fan bashing Dragon Ball Super and defending the online web-series 'Dragon Ball Absalon':
This "fake crap " is more thought out and original than Dragon ball super. Dragon ball super is mostly just recycled scenes from the saiyan saga, Unoriginal and lame recolors of other transformations, and bad characters (beerus and whis). While some of the new stuff alright I guess (golden frieza ) but overall Its just boring and hard to watch for me. And what are we getting for the champa saga?? Winnie the pooh,Frieza recolor, Purple namekian, The iron giant, and Small saiayn from planet salad.... While Dba has offered original ideas that are Made very well and Goku, vegeta, and the villain are not the only ones getting spotlight. Just because dba isn't official, doesn't mean it isn't good.

What I want is buu saga gohan. Nerdy and goofy out of a battle, badass as fuck in one. And can we please get some information on what exactly he studies?

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.

Even if he returns as a "badass" he'll probably never catch up with Goku and Vegeta.

No way, Toriyama said no more 2s and 3s and i agree with him. He'll probably defeat a side villain or do well against main one, untill the bad guy transforms (just like Piccolo in Freeza and Cell arcs).

I don't get why people say that Dragon Ball Absalon is original? Absalon has very little to no plot and the show takes the same idea that the Saiyan saga did by having aliens coming to Earth to destroy it. The Champa is pretty original since we haven't got anything like it before. It's a multiverse tournament which is brand new and has not been done before in the series.

I think you're forgetting he's got the most potential by far. Gohan might not become the strongest, but he'll at least be 75 percent as powerful as them. Mark my words
