I'm fairly convinced Chi-Chi mind psyched Gohan into being a book nerd, because if I remember correctly, he ENJOYED fighting before the Cell Saga.

It was never stated in an interview but fairly easy to conclude.

Goku states that Super Boo would kill him (and Vegeta) without a problem.
SSJ3 Gotenks was on the verge of killing Super Boo
Gohan toys with Super Boo
Its stated Gohan is stronger than SSJ3 Gotenks

One other thing to note that people forget is that Goku isn't strong enough to beat Piccolo Boo while Gohan was.

Unless "far" from something by your definition means 8-10x stronger/weaker.
Because that comment immediately followed you defending the 8-10x gap, I misunderstood and thought you were doing a reversal. My apologies.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Yes even Goku's quotes are enough evidence for this. Thanks for clarifying.

But we don't have any reason to assume that Gohan simply lost the powerup through neglecting his training. There's no precedent for it.

I suppose there would be no reason to lose that form... I mean after 7 years Gohan was still able to transform to SSJ2 without a struggle. Well Goku did it with the flex of his arm muscles 8) but just saying, Gohan would not have had his SSJ2 either if this was the case.

Mmm Gohan has 2 options to get that hidden power: One via Elder Kaioshin's and two, via training through time and getting angry.

After 7 years Gohan was still able to transform to SSJ2 but Vegeta realizes that Gohan have less powers than before.

If you don't train, you become weak. That happens in real life!

Rage of the Gods Gohan isn't a training-created powerup, though. It was a divine gift, there's no reason to assume it vanishes any more than the Holy Water powerup or the unlocking that Namek's Elder gave Gohan and Krillin.

Mmm for me ( I'm not against what you think ), the power of Gohan is not a divine gift. For me, it is Gohan true hidden power that was quickly unlocked by Elder Kaio. If not so, why we seen Gohan transform into a SSJ again? :problem:

I'd rather not explain. This debate always turns into a never ending argument and I know what it's about. All I will say is that if Gohan were strongest, then it would have been stated like it was in the Cell games. I will also say that people who agree with Goku > Gohan have not just the manga, but the anime and daizenshuu to support them. All 3 sources fitting their view.

I love how Toriyama is involved in the story and it still has Goku > Gohan just as movie 13 did. Funny how it works. This just goes to show that Toriyama already had Goku > Gohan to begin with in the Buu saga and he truly did feel that Gohan was not suited to be the hero compared to Goku. If it's not stated that Gohan lost his ritual power, then he didn't lose it. Nobody ever said that he can't go ssj anymore. Perhaps we will find out in the movie.

Canon is a complicated thing. Toriyama's involvement isn't going to guarantee that everyone will accept it as part of a particular canon. Some people may even have more than one canon. To put it simply, the existence of the movie doesn't mean people suddenly aren't allowed to analyse the manga as a standalone entity.

Mike's blog-post is a good read on the matter.

I wouldn't go as far as saying Goku > Gohan in the Buu Saga. Movies, perhaps. But thats a different story. But one thing is certain; years have passed in this movie, and we know he doesn't train. He's probably in college in Battle Of Gods LOL :problem:

I am sure that I talked only about the manga in my previous post.
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.

If Kid Buu were stronger than Super Buu; than I'd agree with the opposite argument. But as of now, we have nothing to support Goku being stronger than Gohan in the Buu Saga.

Come up with some quotes if you think they help.
