There should be a "Gohan Owned" counter for after his fight with Super Buu. If DBZA goes into Super (which it probably won't) he'll probably beat out Krillin.

>Gets the shit beaten out of him by Super Buu after Buu absorbs Gotenks
>Verbally and physically bitch-slapped at several points in that fight as Buu mocks him for being useless without his dad, a terrible fighter, and not being able to protect his brother
>Fails to catch Potara earring
>Outwitted and absorbed by Super Buu after calling him a retard
>Suffocates in the vacuum of space because Pure Buu blew up the planet under him when he was knocked out
>Vegeta says he can't come and get his moment of glory killing Buu after he's revived, because Goku and Vegeta want to hog all the credit
>Nearly gets his own pregnant wife killed by a normal human with a gun because he's stupid and can't protect his family (Buu was right!)
>One-shotted by Beerus faster than anyone else
>Beaten up by Tagoma
>One-shotted by Freeza before he even has to transform
>Gets his mentor killed because his mentor tried to save his stupid ass
>Blown up by Freeza
>Mocked by his own dad who calls him a dweeb
>Doesn't get to go to the tournament because his boss says he has to go to a conference
>Likely going to get one-shotted by Black Goku
>His dad abandons his family to train some Indian kid as a successor because Gohan is such a bad protector of Earth


Dooooo eeeeeett.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

LOL, funny how Toriyama decides to not make Gohan the successor of Goku, and then chooses to make a Namu-reskin of Gohan the successor instead.

We literally have a handful of chapters and like two episodes of Oob to work with (ignoring GT, which didn't properly utilize him anyway) and figure out what he's really like. How on Earth is that enough for people to assume he's Gohan 2.0?

I mean, we literally have more material of brand new characters like Jaco and Tights to work with to figure out what makes them tick.

Well from his debut we now he's a shy kid who doesn't like fighting as a hobby and gets really powerful when mad, like Gohan.

Then the "nice guy who enters tournament for money to help fight poverty in a village in South Asia" is taken from Namu.

Granted, we could have seen further development that puts his character on a different road than Gohan, but it seems all the new material takes place before his debut.

EDIT: Actually though, re-reading the end of the manga, it is mentioned that Uub is the strongest in this village. So maybe he is more into fighting than Gohan.

Regarding the first one, it feels more like Goku and Vegeta are taking it upon themselves to fix a problem they're entirely responsible for. Regarding the second one, I'm pretty sure Gohan considered skipping out on the conference, but decided of his own free will to go to the conference.

Agreed on the rest though. Have Krillin pass the torch to Gohan. :lol:
Gyt Kaliba wrote:ignoring GT, which didn't properly utilize him anyway
I'm actually honestly pretty impressed what they did with Uub in GT. He didn't act like Gohan 2.0. None of his strength came from rage. He fuses with Buu, and then has Buu's candy beam (which he uses to create a giant tornado of ki, and then uses as fuel for a beam clash). He also lets himself get eaten by Baby so that he mess him up a bit on the inside.

You know I just realized: just what exactly makes Goku an idiot? I mean considering he knows about the internet, how to give a haircut, and give a strict lecture to Gohan about food (while ignoring the spreading flames in his hair) there has to be more than meets the eye.

Also, I think I figured out how Goku almost died in the Room of Spirit and Time as a child: he broke something, and Mr. Popo got angry. Hence 6th rule in Popo's Training.

I think he was idiot in Saiyan Saga (Falling into Radditz trap...twice, playing with Bubbles and Gregory, while Kaio tried to tell him he will train him normally, letting Vegeta go, because he said "I'm sorry") However, after he arrived on Namek, he become more of a troll, he is smart, but at same time, jerk to everyone.

I really hope we don't have a "Dragon Ball Super Abridged", I'm would like to see BoG and RoF Abridged and later than Original DB too, but that's it... But, was a matter of fact could they make Goku even dumber that he already is on Super in a future parody? lol

I just hope by Abridge's end we learn all the rules of Popo so we can get a shirt listing them all.

Mainly because there is nothing within those chapters/episodes to set him apart from the Gohan/Namu/Piccolo mash up he was introduced as.

I used to be one of those who thought he had potential, that he was underutilized, but on further reflection I've realized that he's just a late introduction that offers nothing more than one of his progenitors couldn't already do. Especially the successor angle.

I agree with Zephyr's sentiment about his role in GT: the Baby arc handled him better than pretty much any other member of GT's supporting cast, and even when he lost he still contributed to the final fight from within Baby. That's more than I would have expected to see from him in any media, and I think that's more than we really needed.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Still, I would have liked to have seen Uub take a shadow dragon. If it were up to I'd give each Dragon a different Z-Fighter to face rather than have Goku beat all of them.

I wish we could see a version of dragon ball super abridged, i just wanna see that scene of Goku punching Krillin :lol:
Also, that scene of Piccolo stalking Gohan from a building (in ep 1), would be pretty funny if Piccolo suddenly screamed: "Neeeeeerd"!!!!!!!!
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

It's going to be interesting to see how he acts with Broli, and vice-versa.

And possibly the return of Nappa? I mean the Namek Saga stinger showed Nappa saying he was hiring Mark Satan for his movie (also saying he'd probably have to change the name to Hercule or something).

Is the guy that voiced Buu arc Gohan in the Android 13 the actual voice or was that just for the movie?

Yes it is, personally I didn't like much that he doesn't share the same voice as Mirai Gohan in TFS HOT, continuity matters.

Sorry, but we honestly don't believe Zach Holzman can play the character we want for Gohan in the Buu saga like Justin Briner can. And continuity doesn't really matter to us, in that regard. They're just *too different*.
