Is there any proof of that?
I think his eyes are outlined, which suggests he still is ultimate. Also EOZ Gohan> him now. Nothing implied he was much weaker than before.
This. If his eyes are fully outlined, he is Ultimate.

Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Is there a new ED coming? When I translated the episode 59 page on the Fuji.tv website, the ED didn't say Yoka Yoka Dance.
I'm not putting too much faith into it though, because it was Google Translate.

An ending theme change during a story arc? Interesting!

I haven't been following when the ED switched before, has this happened already?
On hiatus.

The Dabra part wasn't in the manga as far as I could tell. Also, the fact that Gohan was able to pick up how cell fought just shows he isn't sub par. He was able to analyze cell's fighting style from a relatively short fight.

No, he's still subpar since Goku still held his hand and showed him how Cell fought and analyzing someone's fighting style is Battle 101 in Dragon Ball. Even then, Gohan was so much stronger than Cell that it made little difference, which Goku himself pointed out.

Like I said, there is nothing showing Gohan as even remotely clever in a fight, and skill wise, the entire human cast beats him.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

It happened with literally every single ending so far.

Don't get your hopes up too high though, I really just pressed "Translate Page" on google translate so I would take it with a grain of salt. :shh:

Looks like an error, google translate will translate the 3rd ED's name to Thin Red.
I think they've put the wrong ED on the site before as well.

I actually like the current ending. The one with the flower petals will remain the best though.

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.

It'll still be going, but on episode 60. The ED changes with the start of each new cour, the new cour will start in the begining of October, so we should be getting an announcement soon.

For the Gohan stuff, there's nothing saying he doesn't still train with Piccolo. He doesn't have to fight villains, he just trains to not get rusty. This isn't a red herring or a false promise, so let this go already...

That's Usubeni/Light Crimson. For some reason, they keep mentioning it on the webpage even though it was switched a while ago.

The summary doesn't say anything special, just that they leave because Beers wants to be certain of Zamasu and Goku wants to go help Gowasu.

Episode 52 contradicts it. Piccolo said he left martial arts, and Trunks feels that he's weaker than before.

Not sure how you basically stop, and yet are still doing it :lol:. It's pretty clearly a red herring. Heck if he suddenly did something, then it's a double contradiction without any story acknowledgement.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Distancing himself from martial arts doesn't mean he can't train sometimes with Piccolo.

First, yay because Yoka Yoka Dance is staying.
Second, can we let this Gohan issue go already? I fully encourage discussion, but when you constantly invade this thread with nonstop whining about Gohan, it starts to become very worn.

We did have a thread about the whole Gohan issue. I don't know where it went.

I guess the issue is everyone's complaints rest on a giant 'if'. IF Gohan isn't training anymore, then...it's a little contradictory in Super's continuity, but we'll just have to deal with it. If he is still training, I dunno. From what we can tell, the idea probably won't be explored until at least the next arc, and that's not going to be for a while. We have MONTHS to talk about this. We don't need to keep randomly bringing it up.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.
