Yeah, I never understood why Gohan didn't use SSJ2 with his "Ultimate Form" - the Super Saiyan transformations are just multipliers on the base power level after all. The Elder Kai unlock allowed him to use everything in base form - he didn't have to transform and thus suffer a drain on his power supply. But what if he actually did add multiplication effect of the Saiyan transformation on top of it?

Well...

Daizenshuu 2 states that Gohan's dormant power is bottomless. Daizenshuu 2 also states that after his potential was released, Gohan is still capable of becoming a Super Saiyan, but even without utilizing the form he surpasses Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks in power, if Ultimate Gohan was to become a Super Saiyan his power would likely rise to levels above even Super Buu (Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks absorbed).

Edit: Uh... okay GT...

It is stated in the Dragon Ball GT Perfect Files that Gohan continued to train in the years following the Buu Saga and the end of Dragon Ball Z to Dragon Ball GT, suggesting he got stronger than he previously was.

So my question is WHY didn't Gohan go SS as Buu (as Gotenks absorbed Buu) started kicking Gohan's ass? Why even state that he cold in the Daizenshuu when the actual obvious place to use it he does it.

*sigh*

Can Gohan get back in the gym please? Can my boy Vegeta get a W on the main villain? Can Trunks and Goten not be stupid sideline characters capable of being the most powerful beings in all of the current casts, but constantly be sideline to Dragonball hunting and fishing expos? #dragonballtravesties
 
I thought the Old Kai said using SSJ was useless when he unlocked Gohan's potential, and that trying to go SSJ was how he tapped into his power.

God I need to re read the Buu saga.
 
I'm behind on episodes so trying to avoid spoilers but if I'm understanding correctly, are people disappointed because
there doesn't seem to be a post Beerus arc where they'll be traveling to other universes, just a tired old "fate of the earth" story?

I second this!!god darn it!! Especially goten
 
Goten and Trunks are so trivialized that they have basically resorted to fusing as the only option when what they should be focusing on is getting in that hyperbolic time chamber and becoming mini-Super Saiyan 2s.

Gotenks isn't gonna mean shit when the fusion is the result of two kids who don't train.
 
Strange to me that anyone wants the kids to be significant characters when the series already has a problem with saiyans being the only characters of importance.
Especially since we're getting more of them from U6 already. Diversity, folks, c'mon.

Post-Freeza spoiler:
The setup for the next arc is that there's going to be a tournament between universes 6 and 7 to decide whether or not they swap Earths.

Goten and Trunks got sidelined into comedy relief... which is a slap in the face to the awesome that was Future Trunks :<

I didn't mind it at first but they keep being that and it's kind of old by now.

I really dont get it. You dont just have these hype kids that easily obtained super saiyan,fuse than achieve something their older brother and father couldn't achieve(ss3) than sideline the heck out of them. I was fine with it in Bog but resurrection F really pissed me off with them not even showing up

Yes it's at odds with with the daizenshuu says and If the daizenshuu is actually accurate and Gohan could've gone Super Saiyan then I would call that entire fight a plot hole.

It's impossible to reconcile why he wouldn't have gone Super Saiyan when Buu was beating the breaks off him.
 
I tried watching the first episode of DB Absalon once and had no idea what was going on and why South America and real-world locations were part of the DB planet.
 
Gohan, Trunks and Goten can easily be written into fighting roles again. It just depends on whether or not there's a timeskip.

Chances are low, but not out of the question. Cross your fingers.

Dream scenario has the next gen "Z Fighters" (I hesitate to use the term, but what else are you gonna call them)

-Gohan
-Goten
-Trunks
-18
-Buu
-Uub

Kid cast

-Pan
-Bulla
-Marron

I don't care what Goku and Vegeta do. Personally I'd be fine with them doing their own thing in space while we focus on everyone else. Although, Piccolo can come too if he wants.

It is, and man, it'd be an easy as fuck show to write a plot for. It'd also sell loads of cards, too, and give Bamco a reason to localize the 3DS game and the cards.

You need new shit to get new merch. I'm pretty sure that's why Goku and Vegeta got new get-ups in Resurrection F. No one's going to buy figures of shit they already own, that's why Kai was initially cancelled after getting pretty consistently decent ratings - everyone already owns figures for Super Saiyan 3 Goku in his normal gi, but check out this whole Super Saiyan God thing! And this Goku has a new gi he got from a new guy! Don't have that yet!

I mean, Kai was so bad about merchandising that some companies were taking their old Z products and rereleasing them under Kai lines, completely unchanged. Gashapon in particular was super bad about it.

I might have to agree. Gohan's hair style in SSJ1 and 2 don't have any noticeable differences, if any. The first time he goes SSJ2 in the Buu saga, there is lightning, and while fighting Dabura, there are none, while Goku and Vegeta have lightning around them during their fight, so this wouldn't be a case of Toriyama forgot.

Biggest piece of evidence is when Gohan and Supreme Kai go down into the ship when Goku is about to fight Vegeta and Goku tells Gohan, "Get angry, Gohan. Remember when you got angry against Cell, and drew forth all of your strength? If you do that again, no one can beat you. No one!" Didn't do that against Dabura if Goku had to remind Gohan.

Gohan did not master SSJ2 and only activated it twice before the Buu saga, both times are in the Cell games (First activation and when Cell comes back), and had a 7 year gap before using it again.
 
Actually, looking back, Super made a pretty good call back (if intentional) to Gohan not emitting any aura or lightning when given his boost from the Old Kai, because according to Whis, showing that stuff is "wasteful", making Ultimate Gohan a sort of short cut to what Goku and Vegeta have to do now (not to waste Ki on that).
 
One thing that really bugs me is that if they had to bring back Freeza why couldn't they do it some other way that doesn't blatently forget about one of the few limitations the Dragon balls are supposed to have on Wishs.

You can't bring back someone who's been dead for one year!

Couldn't they have just cloned him using a stored blood sample from when they cyborgized him or something rather then make a huge plot hole?

Also he really shouldn't have been a cybrog in hell. Only great heros are supposed to be allowed to keep their physical bodies in the afterlife.

Ain't that a Kami limitation?

Makes you wonder what Gohan could do with God Ki. Or what Goku and Vegeta could do with Old Kai's dance power up.

Also, Piccolo should totally fuse with some Universe 6 Namekians.

That rule was only ever mentioned for the wish to bring back everyone ever killed by Freeza and his men. It sounded like it was due to the high number of people being brought back, rather than a general limitation on the number of wishes. Of course, the wording didn't make it completely clear either way, leaving space for disagreements about. Personally, I think if it were supposed to be a general rule, it'd have come up at some other time.

Also he really shouldn't have been a cybrog in hell. Only great heros are supposed to be allowed to keep their physical bodies in the afterlife.

I don't think that's his actual body, although some people will disagree, like debated a few pages back. Still, we see that he's resurrected in pieces, rather than in the cyborg form seen in hell. If it were his body, that shouldn't have happened.

The one year rule was only ever said for groups of people.

It was made pretty clear when he was revived that what you see in the hell scene isn't actually his body, his body was still in pieces.


EDIT: lol, beaten like Yamcha.
