I don't understand why anyone would go out of their way to call him "mystic". I get that it's probably what you grew up with and are most comfortable using, but it's hardly any different from referring to Super Saiyan Grade 2 and Grade 3 as "Ascended Super Saiyan" and "Ultra Super Saiyan". "Mightiest", or its English derivative "ultimate", is as close as it gets to being the official name.

Then again, I just really hate the term "mystic".

He's actually Strongest Warrior, but I call him Chou Gohan (Super Gohan). Mystic is just ridiculous.

I may be wrong, but I think Super Gohan is also used when he first transformed into SSJ2. It was probably to follow the "Super" line. (Super Vegeta, Super Trunks, etc)

That was always referred to at the time as, 'Beyond Super Saiyan'. Super Gohan, Super Vegeta etc. refers to plain old Super Saiyan.

Jobber or Toei's bitch.

But seriously I think the main definitions to go by are Saikyo no Senshi or Ultimate Gohan. Probably Ultimate Gohan as Saiyko no Senshi is a joke at this point.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Hahaha! "Jobber" always reminds me of The Brooklyn Brawler and Barry Horowitz. :lol:

I think Yamcha and Kuririn are the best jobbers. They helped elevate a lot of villains and without them the series wouldn't be the same. These days, it seems as though Gohan has been relegated to that role in the anime. I hope that changes soon.
