So Gohan is micking Vegeta now? "I don't have a chance and am angry. My opponent still can transform so I power down by using a useless move".

He is doing whatever he is capable of now that his opponent isn't at full power.

Which is pretty much what Vegeta always tries. And where he fails.

What else should they do, give up and die?

Gohan is a pretty smart guy and he knows that some enemies just cannot be overcome with your own power. Instead of going all out while he knew from the very beginning what Vegeta could do and saw that Aladjinn even made the battle harder he should have thought of finding a weak point or another technique or anything. Really, just using all of his power which gets blocked won't do anything helpful. I mean, apparently Fusion will be used so there still is something to be done. But right now it just looks like one of those situations where the good character is out of ideas and so just uses what he has instead of retreating via Teleport, surviving and later having a better idea and chance. Dead he won't be any help at all.

Like you said, he has run out of ideas. When someone has ran out of ideas, he does whatever he can. And what Gohan can do is go all out to see if he can do anything.

So dying in a battle that he knows he can't win is a better option for you than masking his Ki or anything, walk away and think of something new which would help him survive and defeat the other guy. The advantages seem pretty clear. In GT for example people hated it when Goku wanted to use Final Explosion twice because he has ran out of ideas. Doing your best is understandable but maybe not fighting is actually the best if you can be even more efficient later.

Pretty sure running away gets old. Malik made them do it twice. You think Aladjinn would not let them a third time. Also @Malik where's Oob? I forget...

That is a good point for writing, yes. But I don't think Gohan knows that and a teleport and escaping is done. Meta it has to be considered that it gets repetetive, of course.

There's a reason why he's isn't running. Aladjinn just going make one mistake and its over.

I'm sorry but i don't get what you mean. You think Aladjinn being overconfident and probably even off guard is going to kill him (Aladjinn)? I don't think so. That would make him weaker than he seems. If I didn't misunderstand Aladjinn is the strongest character in the series, even stronger than Rigor who really only lost to Gogeta because of bad luck as Gogeta had no power left and was about to be overwhelmed but got saved last second by Rigor overflowing.

Not in that way. He's going to toy around and they're going to see a weakness.

They've already done the "run away & think of a new strategy", and here they are.

So if you stand before a guy, can't beat him, run away and come back later and still can't beat him you think you should not it again because you have done it already and rather die?
