Gohan "Saikyou No Senshi"

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

Let's not blame Gohan for the inadequacy and inconsistency of the GT writers, please.
I guess going blonde was a cool thing to do at the time GT began. Heck, they would probably made Muten-Roshi a long lost son of a Saiyan and grand, grand father of Vegeta if that sold good :roll:

No, that wasn't from the dub, it's one of those silly old fan theories that's been around for years(since well before they dubbed the Buu Saga). It was pretty popular a long time ago, but seems to have been mostly forgotten by now.

I've always thought that he could go SSJ after the power up but didn't because it was either no longer necessary.

That's all conjecture, because he never officially did (except in GT.)

My biggest argument against him being able to any more is that if he had been able to, he would have attempted it against Buutenks. He never did. This leads me to believe that Toriyama intended us to think he either couldn't, or that it would be ineffective and no longer raise his power. I'm voting he couldn't use it.

It was necessary when Super Gotenks Buu was kicking him around, yet Gohan didn't go SSJ.
