Gohan Strongest Unfused character.

It's always stated that Toriyama has said this in an interview (and I do believe it). However I would like to know the source.

He never said anything about Gohan being the strongest unfused character. People believe that Mystic Gohan is stronger then SSj3 Goku because Goku can only maintain the Super Saiyajin 3 form for a short time before running out of energy or stamina. I think this might change depending how powerful the Super Saiyajin God form is in DBZ Movie 14.

It's just a pathetic Gohan fanboy rumor that has spread like wild fire on the internet. It holds absolutely no water. Especially now with Gohan having his SSJ form again. Goku getting this new form is just gonna widen the gap, assuming he can transform back into his God form at will. I'm hoping he can.

The strongest unfused character is Gure.

She just doesn't like to show it. She's keeping it a secret from Tarble, as to not damage his ego.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I don't believe what you read unless there is proof to back it up. I take that you read about this on the Dragon Ball wiki right?

It's probably the Gohan fanboys on Youtube. That's where I here it the most anyway.

In the Boo Saga, Gohan is the most powerful caracter ( unfused ) but after that, 10 years have passed ( in the end of DBZ ), and Kakarotto trained hard during that time waiting for the arrival of the Boo reincarnation. Kakarotto always been the one to find a way to surpass beyond his powers. So, in the Kakarotto case, is perfectly conceivable even training on Earth.

After the Cell Saga ( Gohan is the most powerful too ), Gohan becomes very lazy and after the boo saga, the thing gets worse because 0 training and also have other ambitions. I believe we can not keep giving more power to someone lazy as Gohan.

Humble opinion!

Yeah, it's definitely possible that Goku and Vegeta surpassed Gohan by the series epilogue, but Gohan was definitely the strongest at two separate points in the series: once he ascended to Super Saiyan 2, up to the 7-year timeskip, when he was surpassed by both Goku and Vegeta; and then again once he "activates" the powerup he received from the Elder Kaioshin. Whether or not he was ever surpassed by Goku and Vegeta is nothing more than speculation, though it's plausible.

Other thing, the powers difference in the Boo Saga between SSJ3 Kakarotto y Mystic Gohan is not wide. Many people claim Gohan is 8 to 10 times stronger than SSJ3 Kakarotto and that makes me laugh because they have no idea what is to be 8 or 10 times stronger!

That´s bad fanaticism!!

We literally have no idea what the power gap there is. We know that Gohan was stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks, and we know that Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks was stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Goku. That's about it.

To sum up, Toriyama has never said anything about Gohan being the strongest unfused character in any real interview. That's a fact. But whether or not Gohan actually is the strongest unfused character is another matter, open to (interminable) debate.

Maybe we should have a stickied thread, or something? It's odd that recently this question has been asked almost once a month for a while now.

I've been thinking of starting some kind of FAQ sticky for stuff like this.

That won't be a bad idea. It would be cool if the rumor section on the main site would be updated, I personally doubt most people don't bother to read the front page anymore.

It's not bad fanaticism, it's basing stuff on official Super Saiyan power multipliers. Goku needed SS3 to be a match for Fat Boo, while Gotenks was supposedly strong enough to beat Fat Boo as a SS1 only. Yes, we've never seen it happen, but there's absolutely no reason to go against this heavy implication. And "Ultimate" Gohan is stronger than SS3 Gotenks. Work the numbers and you'll see that both Gotenks and Gohan end up quite a few times stronger than Goku.

Placing Goku not far from "Ultimate" Gohan or Gotenks, that's what bad fanaticism is.

That's unfair. Goku's claims were completely unproven, so for anyone to place SS1 Gotenks lower than Fat Boo/SS3 Goku is completely fine. I have no problem with people who disagree and put Gotenks 8-10x stronger, but it's unreasonable to label people having a smaller gap as bad fanaticism.
