Because the only difference is that he got confident. Heck, SSJ2 "altered" more Gohan's personality in the Cell games than Mystic did in the Buu arc, since he went from paralyzed crybaby to over-confident and slightly sadistic cool guy.Rocketman wrote:What does everybody keep ignoring that Mystic altered Gohan's personality?

It only looks like that in one panel.Rocketman wrote:Nope, his hair is drawn both ways in that chapter after he unlocks the immense power.
Not really. From chapter 497 up until Gohan's death, Gohan's hairstyle consistently looks different. After his revival, where he doesn't fight, his hairstyle is back to normal. Did Toriyama screwed up twice, thrice, or he purposely changed his hairstyle? If Ultimate Gohan really is his base form permanently, how would he perform Fusion with Goku when Gohan's base is far stronger than Goku's SS3 form, not to mention his base form? Because Goku was going to use Fusion with Gohan, and Rou Kaioshin doesn't say anything like "Idiot, Gohan is far stronger than you, you don't have similar powers in order to perform Fusion!".It's not an indicator, you just want it very badly to be one.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. 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.

Goku asks if Gohan and him should turn Super Saiyan and the Elder Kaioshin doesn't say Gohan can't.

From what I understand from the manga, there is no indicator Gohan can't go SSJ. It just very, very likely wouldn't increase his powers either.
Also, potara fusion is different from regular fusion. Gaps in power level and height don't matter.

"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super
