Is so much a Goku signature that other z warriors like tien was never taught it by king kai.

Maybe the anime could introduce perfected ssb for vegeta but again , Toriyama and Toei are probably going to push Gohan again. Failed the last time he tried it, but of course they'd rather repeat with Gohan than give vegeta a proper win.
Dude gohan done after this arc and so far he did nothing but job ever since he appeared and it's the same as always the moment this arc is over he's going back to fodder they always do that seriously and vegeta the second most popular character even in the buu saga kid trunks was rated 3 while gohan was like 5
Gohan was sidelined before because his character arc was done all the way back in the Cell Saga. Now he just repeats himself. He studies, he slacks off, he gets cheap "awakened potential, has to fight against his doubts, then ultimately becomes billy badass or wins outright. How many times do we have to see the same old shit? I don't want to see this geek stuck in an endless cycle of his own doubt and laziness. For some bizarre reason there are people actually wanting him to win this tournament which is so baffling words fail me.
Gohan is not gonna be sideline after this arc no matter how badly you hate him :lol:

There is really no evidence of that. He wasnt hyped up any harder than Android 17 who hes probably similar in strength to.

Not to mention we dont even know what their plans are for him in this arc.

To say either way is premature and trust me Id love to say he will be sidelined. Gohan disgusts me lol but all objectiveness says we dont know.
Currently watching: My Hero Academia

Last watched: Akame Ga Kill, Hokuto No Ken, Hokuto No Ken 2, Hunter X Hunter

You never realise how hated Gohan is, until he gets a tiny bit of spotlight in Super for; he hasn't even been in half of the series' episodes but now he's back and he's somewhat relevant, it's just so negative :lol: otherwise I'm looking forward to the SSB explanation though, should be pretty good, I'm hoping it explains both Goku and Vegeta's transformations well..

Yeah...advanced planets with decent civilizations, because you were annoyed by their food. Liquir, Geene and Arak for example seem to just destroy what is needed and nothing more, not just destroy planets with ningen life even though there are barely 30 in the whole universe. You and Shin are just a incompetent duo. U7 needs new gods

(Now is when they reveal something like Iwan destroying planets because of not giving him good welcome parties or somwthing)

It's a vocal minority. Gohan is very much a popular character and some people can't deal with that for whatever reason. Even when he was absent from Super he was still getting plenty of spotlight in merchandise and video games. Now that he IS back in the show proper he's been even more prominent in cross-promotions in general so it's no surprise people are coming out of the woodwork to throw a bunch of hate around unwarranted. If anything people should be happy the extended cast is relevant again. The Goku and Vegeta show is simply too boring.

You know, when you reduced Super to 'Goku and Vegeta' you're ignoring characters like Whis and Beerus who played a major role in every story arc. In the Future Trunks Saga you had Trunks and Gowasu.

Just because Super doesn't focus on the old guard doesn't mean you can just pretend that no secondary characters do anything.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I think a lot of the negativity directed toward Gohan is in part backlash against the...overly enthusiastic part of his fanbase. I like Gohan but it is really obnoxious when he appears on screen for 5 seconds doing nothing and my recommended videos list suddenly becomes flooded with clickbait like "GOHAN HAS THE BANG. MY BOY is BACK."

Yeah that sort of stuff isn't very desirable, I agree. I'm not a fan of the "DB YouTube clickbait scene" in general. But again it's only a small part of the larger picture and one easily ignored.

Tell me about it. I am still sore at Gohan fans talking about his bangs after Trunks lost his timeline and is forced to accept that he failed to protect the world. They turned a touching moment between Trunks and Gohan to "OMG, Gohan has bangs! He's training! He's back!"

"For whatever reason".

Pretty sure I spelled that reason out in no uncertain terms. I'll do so again.

- Almost never earns his powers: Went from someone who had slacked off for years and crushed by Frieza's first form to gaining all his lost power back and more, in a mere 2 hours by awakening a form he literally just had to sit on his ass to get.

- It's the same arc we've seen in the cell saga and the buu saga, as I explained in my previous post. He overcame his own fear and doubt three times now. After they keep coming back every time they make him prominent.

Bonus: He's just a bland nice guy. No attitude. No humour.

Are my reasons for hating this character clear enough for you now?
