How did you think Super's version of RoF will handle Gohan?

Post by DBZAOTA482 » Wed Oct 21, 2015 12:49 pm

The treatment Super's version of Battle of Gods gave Gohan was disgusting compared to how the original movie handled him but one thing is the Resurrection F movie already showed him as kinda derp-ish... which makes me all the more concerned for how Super's version will handle him. Would they have him slip on Baby Pan's saliva while he tries carrying out out those packages? Would he not turn SSJ and get one-shotted by Shisami as well? Or would they do something that will completely subvert all expectations?

What do you guys think?

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I expect him to be the same as the movie. Get punched by Freeza, fight the soldiers. That's about it.

Toei is not going to change much of anything in regards to characters. They are not taking any risks, so Gohan will very likely be treated exactly the same.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

This. I see him being on par with if not worse than how he was in ROF. The Super arcs don't change the movie stories a bunch. They change some details, but more or less rehash the movies. I don't expect much but the BOG super arc managed to wow me in the wrong way, so let's see if Super's ROF can one up that.

He'll actually be a SSJ when he gets owned making it more satisfying for Frieza fans and making this form implode due to the sheer mass of complaints and hate.

If they extend the fights, like they probably will. He may have a chance of actually fighting Freeza, instead of going down in one hit.

I think he will go SSJ, but Gohan's obviously another background character, heck even Goten and Trunks get more bad-ass moment's then he does now.
I've come to except the fact, that he's chosen the normal life over his Fighting one. The only way I see him ever becoming the Gohan he once was, is if Goku and Vegeta are killed/gone and he has to step up to the plate, or at least after Pan is born. I hope Goten end's up filling the void that Gohan left as he get's older.

I think Gohan may power up into his Ultimate form just to make Freeza look even stronger and more of threat in the Super's retelling of Resurrection F when he defeats Gohan with one blow. But given this is 2015 and this is the Toei writing staff handling the scenario... Gohan will not only forget his gi again, but he will forget how to transform into a SSJ, forget how to fly and forget how to breath and will die of suffocation as a result, leading to baby Pan taking his place, one shotting Freeza and becoming the next Super Saiyan Blue training under Whis.

I think they will at least SHOW some scenes that they've hinted at during ROF's marketing period,but couldn't make it into the final film. Things like him going through his closet looking for his Gi ( Would be cool to see cameos from all his previous outfits ), him declaring he officially quit being Great Saiyaman, hopefully have A LOT more interaction with Piccolo, and if we're really lucky; him training with Piccolo/Goten during the few months before Freeza arrives.

Oh yeah and I guess we'll see him adapt to becoming a father as well.

I'll be really grateful if they don't turn him into a cheerleader.

I see TOEI letting his fight with Freeza last a little bit longer, but that's about it. He's gonna be a family man from now on, accept it.

Since they love One Piece so much, they'll just turn Gohan into Geddatsu.

Gohan: "Mmmphmmph!"
Piccolo: "Gohan! Stop biting your lower lip!"
Gohan: "OH, HOW CARELESS!"

As per usual they'll make him look like a complete joke at every possible opportunity with some emasculation thrown in there for good measure, you know, cause we can't have him be a good husband and protector at least.

I will say though that I am intrigued at the thought of how they'll handle the Freeza fight. Being one hit Koed by Frieza's weakest form is already as low as you can go so I'm stumped as to how Toei will top themselves there. After it's all said and done we'll of course see the DBSuper defenders and apologists to swoop in to assure everyone that "it's not that bad" and how we need to accept that "Gohan isn't relevant anymore and this is ok" and the cycle will repeat itself ad nauseam.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Toei decided to resurrect Cell (painted gold of course 8)) just so they can have him beat Gohan and forever tarnish his greatest moment in the series. Maybe I shouldn't be giving Toei any ideas... Lord knows they don't have any of their own.

Personally, what I expect:

-They'll make it clear that he has gotten weaker, just like in the movie, however, it'll be more obvious that him going SSJ is supposed to be a power up over where he was before.

-Shisami might receive a better build up than in RoF, which would make Gohan taking him out look more impressive. However, if that happens, Gohan probably won't one shot him this time, which might make him look worse.

-Gohan still will be one shotted by Freeza's 1st form, and they might even make him get one shotted in SSJ this time.

One way to fix Shisami is to just not have him in Freeza's regeneration scene just like in Toriyama's script.

That way he can be one of the powerful mercenaries Freeza hires.

I was looking for another thread and I found this one.
After seeing ROF episodes about this matter, I want to cry. :lol:

The only way Toei could bury Gohan even more in this arc, was to kill him before Goku arrival. They defintely went too far.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

"I can't even imagine reaching their level of power anymore."

I mean... damn. Just... damn. I'm not that much of a fan of Gohan so it doesn't bug me, but if I was a heavily invested into the character, that line would have enraged me.

I honestly thought that since Piccolo was getting possible importance in the next arc, he probably shoulda died for him. Then Piccolo gains motivation to pick up on his training. At least then someone gets pushed. I'd appreciate the Gohan push if it actually existed. As far as I can see, it's not happening. Especially with lines like below.

I'm just gonna repost this quote here
Gohan: I can't even imagine reaching their level of power anymore.
TFS Piccolo: USE THE GOD RITUAL!
Gohan: There just is no way I could ever get that strong.
TFS Piccolo: USE THE RITUAL OR TRAIN WITH WHIS!
Gohan: It just isn't possible.

Well Gohan is my favourite character, but I take it easy. But even I have my limits.

I mean, Gohan isn't catching a break since Super started.
Even when Videl said she's pregnant in BOG arc and he wanted to hug her, he got pushed down by Satan... That was supposed to be a beautiful moment like in the movie, not a "funny" one.
