I'd rather Gohan get a top tier neck and neck match with a strong guy and lose than beat some punk ass weaklings. Just like Vegeta stomping those 3 weaklings in u6 meant nothing in terms of impressiveness, and Goku losing to hit still made Goku look way better than Vegeta. I don't doubt Gohan will win against one of the three big dogs, but sometimes L's are more respectable than W's.
What do you mean by 'three big dogs'? There will surely be mamy powerful guys so Universe 7 has a a consistent challenge throughout the whole tournament.
I mean the buff alien and his two confirmed crew mates. I think they'll be the 3 strongest. I'm sure they'll be other strong guys but probably a good deal weaker than those 3.

I've always been neutral about Gohan's designs (except Bojack movie). But I'm really digging the bang-less look too! He somehow looks more mature?
What's your opinion on Gohan's Bojack Movie hair? Sorry if I haven't seen what you may've said, I'm new here :D
It's Gohan best design right up there with his beginning of boo arc design ( when he's starting school and stopped those bank robbers)

These quotes are making it hard to see who's saying what :lol: But it's funny how he doesn't mention Gohan raises up to third place afterwards even though he gets even weaker in GT. Gohan has one of the most loyal fanbases. We're considered annoying in the fanbase BECAUSE we won't give up on him.

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.

He even trained according to the Perfect Files so he really did not get weaker.

Except people have consistently liked him regardless. He was still ranking high on popularity charts on reddit even after rof and in between now. People are happy with Gohan right now because he's becoming a fighter again, and his fighting moments are what made him popular in the first place. It isn't solely strength. If he was as strong as Whis, but in the background like he's been until now then people would still be angry.

The perfect files say that but he's suddenly weaker than Goku in base form? That doesn't make a bit of sense if Goku is only supposed to be ssj3 level in base. Let's say he did get stronger, he was far from the strongest yet he was still popular. It's unfair to say he has unloyal fans.

I doubt that Goku has just SSJ3 level. That is just something people fantasize about using some random comments about Boo and stuff in the show they like as if it is the only possibility. I think Goku is just as ridiculously powerful in GT as characters were displayed in the Zamasu saga for example. Super powerful to an extent not to be imagined. There is hardly any consistency to properly say something.

Then why did he need ssj to fight General Rildo that was as strong as Boo? They'res no reason for Goku to be that much stronger than Gohan if Gohan was training. Even if Goku trained more and better, Gohan has the superior genetics so he should at least be somewhere near Goku.

EDIT: Damn, I kinda got brought into a conversation that I don't want to have. At the end of the day, Gohan has tons of loyal fans.

As said, we have no idea what Boo he was talking about (a comment that might even be taken way too seriously by fans, it is really one single thing) and to be honest, the battle against Rildo did not last long anyway. As for you wondering about Goku - he is Goku. Is that really so unbelievable that they want to show him as so much better - I think it is not.

I'll just assume you're right because you probably know more about GT than I do.

Either way, it doesn't really change my initial arguement.
Just because some of the fans are fair weather fan it doesn't mean all of us are. Plenty of people here have kept supporting Gohan even if he did very little in the first 80 episodes of Super. No need to generalize. Anything that reaches the type of popularity that Gohan had back then, be it sports teams, or other characters from various shows have bandwagon fans.
Exactly. The main character or strongest is always going to have some band wagon fans, but doesn't mean they all are.

Pretty much. It's wild like Goku's but it still has own touch to it.

Then Sorbet's ring attack shouldnt count as well since that was cheating.

If Gohan loses once, his fanbase will riot. Even if its too a powerful foe.
Sounds like Vegeta's fanbase. Excited for these new rivals. Given that they chose to show these three, it's possible they'll play a bigger role in the saga than others.

Freeza's a villin so it's not cheating.

He didn't say that in Super. In Super Freeza was beating Goku left and right, Goku only got 2-3 hits in.

Some vegeta fans riot over his L's even though he and Goku are treated the best by far. People need to realize that a large portion of this fanbase is quite young, of course there will be people raging at this type of stuff. If something like that happens, then you can bet your ass there will also be a ton of Gohan fans satisfied with the outcome also.

I wonder what will be their reaction now that teletubbie is being confirmed to be a relevant character in his tournament besides Alien and Fem Broly.

Vegeta fans might be a bit...mad if Vegeta uses SSJB on someone that looks like a joke character :|

Just because he's a villain, doesnt absolve him of cheating when he does, thats not how it works.
Oh right, I tend to go with Toriyama's script of the movie rather than Supers. Either we were watching 2 different things since Goku definitely did more than 3hits in the whole fight.

Does anyone else feel like Toyotaro and Toei will take over once Toriyama steps down? Seems like Toyotaro is inserting more ideas more and more each arc. Like his character designs.
