Gohan in episode 62...

Post by hold3n » Sun Oct 16, 2016 8:44 am

Gohan was seen in episode 62, seeming very pissed about the whole situation about Trunks and Black. Do you think this is a tease for Gohan getting stronger, or just a stub like his "training with Piccolo." Put your thoughts down below.

Gohan should stay in his shit tier place where he belongs.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Why don't all of you Gohan fans just accept he is finished and stop trying to look into every little scene with detail to try and find something for him to be relevant.

He's not doing anything this arc. The fact that they bothered to even clue him in surprised me. Maybe he will have chances to do something later. Just don't expect much.

I doubt it'll amount to anything at all, but it was kinda satisfying to see him react to the situation. He seemed to feel guilty for not asking Trunks why he was back in the past. Of course, I don't know what he said/thought, since I don't speak Japanese.

Also, cut the hostility. Come on.

I don't expect much but it sure seemed to reopen a door we thought has been shut.

Because without Gohan in the mix, Super feels empty af. It's a pain in the ass seeing Goku and Vegeta get their SSJB asses kicked all the time.

It'll be another red herring. Like how he promised to get stronger after Resurrection F arc and all we got was one brief training scene with Piccolo, and then when Goku asked him to be on his team for the Universe 6/7 tournament, he had to turn it down due to other commitments.

Yeah, I'm sure Gohan is going to come running to the future to fight an enemy that two people he knows are leaps and bounds above him in power got their asses handed to them by. If Gohan was going to be relevant in this arc, he would of done so by now.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Super will always feel empty to me until the non saiyans do something. There just is not enough room for more SSB characters in the story unless some Goku and Vegeta go missing.

I'll remain skeptical about a possible participation by Gohan, but I have to recognize that when he reacted that way I thought "Finally, they will involve him". This is not just him saying "I will train to protect my family" and then keep being a scolarship. We saw things by his point of view... we felt what he felt and thought. That's not a random scene, I want to believe.

I am trying to help by saying they look at certain scenes with Gohan too much. Also we have have had very similar threads and discussionsll like this before about Gohan and we always come to the same conclusion about his role in the future of the franchise.

But aren't you doing the same thing to Piccolo ? I can understand the annoyance, but I understand what they feel. Tenshinhan is one of my favorites character in the franchise, and I'm still hoping for the very unlikely thing that he'll become relevant again.

Gohan has a big fanbase, so it's no surprise that you constantly see his fans wanting him to be relevant again. I too is a Gohan fan (Not Cell Games) and I'm fine with the way he is now, but I got to admit that him actually doing something again would be exciting.

As for main post. I think it was nothing more than Toei throwing Gohan some bone, it's not different to what they did in ROF/Champa Arc when he realized that he needs to get stronger to protect his family and we actually saw him doing some training, but in the end it amounted to nothing (So far).

I didn't really expect Future Trunks to come back or a foe looking exactly like Goku. So Gohan being relevant again isn't exactly a realm out of possibility I guess.

In episode 62 there is a reason to talk about Piccolo's role but with Gohan there is not really as it waa him finding out the truth about Trunks. Gohan fans talk about him in every situation whereas I do not with Piccolo unless Toei or Toriyama lay it on a plate for me.

My summary of Gohan is that he is a one hit wonder .

HybridSaiyan forgets that Gohan did not exist until Dragon ball Z so it also feels empty without the characters introduced then.

Not really, the case with Piccolo and Gohan is the same. For Piccolo, he knows the Mafuba, so it's no surprise that the hopes of his fans that he will do something have risen, take yourself as an example. For Gohan, him being angry at himself due to how he didn't know what Trunks went through might trigger him to fully come back to his martial arts training, so the hopes of his fans have risen once again.

In a way they're still the same. You can hope for your favorite character to do something all you want especially if there's a hint at their comeback. There's no need to tell them to stop hoping for a comeback. I remember back then lots of Future Trunks fans wanted him to return and people told them it's not happening, look what happened.

Hoping for something to happen can only go so far until you just need to face reality and admit something won't happen. I really like Piccolo and I know he won't do jack shit ever again because he's not Goku and Vegeta. I know this, I accept this ergo it doesn't bother me. Hell, I laughed my ass off when Piccolo tries acting cool only for Goku to ditch him in favor of Roshi.

Gohan had ice cream do you think it was some special ice cream to regain his strength? :lol:
Seriously though I understand he's some people favorite character (for reasons I'll never know) but it's really just tiresome seeing people jump at any detail and when said detail is what they think then result to complaining. For eg. Gohan said he was gonna train with Piccolo and that's exactly what he did!

I wouldn't have phrashed it like that but I agree. He hasn't in my opinion been interesting since the Saiyan arc. Actually maybe not he was fairly interesting in early Buu arc before the main arc started like the Saiyaman stuff.

Gohan was never interesting. His entire character is "Grrr! I'm angry! I'm gonna kick ass now! *proceeds to get stomped or humiliated anyway*". Honestly, I feel like whenever I talk to a Gohan fan about Gohan himself, it's like we're seeing two completely different shows. A lot of the time it boils down to him being "cool" in the Cell arc and whatever headcannon potential they can come up for his character that doesn't exist in-universe.

Lol Gohan makes a cameo and this is enough to make a thread about it? Gohan is irrelevant, as much as I hate to say it.
