I thought Gohan was a big waste of time and was only cool in the Frieza series and prior. His character was destroyed and anytime he talked or pretended like he was going to do something heroic I scoffed because he always loses save Cell which was just luck. What is your opinion on Gohan? And how would you compare him to the other Z fighters in the show? For me it was Goku > Vegeta > Big Trunks > Krillin > Picillo > Small Trunks > Goten >>>> Gohan. Gohan sucks...
...a lot. [spoiler] I also put "Gohan from DBZ" so that you would know which Gohan I was talking about. [/spoiler]
For someone who was supposed to be "The Chosen One" ,or something like that, he was really overshadowed by pretty much everyone else. Never watched anything past Dragonball Z, so I don't know if he was any good in GT. BTW, Vegeta was cooler than Goku. And Master Roshi was cooler than them all:D
Wait, you thought he was better before and during the Frieza saga? Is that a joke? He was a whiny little runt who could hardly do a thing at that point. He wasn't even a particularly useful character in the show until he and Goku trained together in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber before the Cell Games. :?

But I liked the way he would surprise us with his hidden power and stuff, making me think he would play an important role and be badass in future episodes but...

A slacker, he had the potential to be better than Goku and let it go to waste on GT Also he never won a battle like a boss (Goku vs Frieza) instead he lost almost every fight save for cell which was just luck. And just when I thought he was going to get stronger (Ultimate Gohan), it seems that was the highest potential he could achieve, seriously he and Trunks are the worst waste of saiyan blood imo. Unlike alternate timeline Trunks who actually had to work hard to protect his planet, he could've achieved super saiyan 3 had he tried.
oh you hurt my gf we must fight let me power up AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also forgot how Videl made his situation even worse. Though it was cool and funny when he was describing how to fly. :lol:
[QUOTE="ZumaJones07"]But I liked the way he would surprise us with his hidden power and stuff, making me think he would play an important role and be badass in future episodes but... ...that. His only notable display of that "hidden power" was when he was, like, three years old when Raditz kidnapped him.
didnt like gohan to be honest.. except post great saiyaman when he wasnt a crybaby/clown. Dont think ive ever seen a bigger wimp in any form of entertainment
[QUOTE="campzor"]didnt like gohan to be honest.. except post great saiyaman when he wasnt a crybaby/clown. Dont think ive ever seen a bigger wimp in any form of entertainment I have and he is in the only other anime that I have watched other than pokemon and dbz: Evangelion. That main character was just awful to watch and I felt like the other girl who was more hardcore should have been the protagonist. But yea, him (I think it's Singi) and Gohan are both good examples of wasted potential.
The best gohan there ever was, was indeed future gohan from future trunks timeline. The only true gohan that followed or tried to in his dads footsteps.
Upthrough the Cell saga, Gohan was a pretty cool character to me. His story arc, with him taking over his dad's job of earth's protector was neat and how it played out was dramatic enough. From the Buu saga on, his character just became a waste of space as he went the other way (Really?Who chooses college over becoming the most powerful being in the universe?) and really had no more purpose in the series.
Too bad not to many people liked at because he didn't have the same caveman mentality goku or vegeta had where when they had a problem they would just beat something up until the problem gets magically solved.
it is actually great to see a character like gohan quite refreshing gets kinda boring seeing big burly men spouting the same words "i love fighting, come on lets fight, omg i am having so much fun having my face getting pounded repeatedly"
I thought he was a pretty cool character as a kid. As a teenager he was annoying. I always loved it when he got really ticked and kicked the crap out of people. Was he the best character? No (that was Vegeta), but he was still pretty cool.
Gohan was supposed to become the main character when they were going to continue the series after the Cell Saga. They were going to go through with it until about midway through the Buu Saga, and pretty much scrapped it mid-saga (If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about). The reason they did this was because they felt that Gohan wasn't fit to be a main character to replace Goku, especially after how long Goku was the main character in the Dragonball Universe. The fans also didn't really like the idea of it at the time in Japan either.
Great character with massive potential. Because of the cell saga, he's my favorite character but then the writers just nerfed him for Goku and the whole idea of him being 'the chosen one' crumbled under their indecisiveness. Disappointing.
Its DBZ every thing was a big waste of time, If there was ever an anime that didn't deserve its fame its that. And it set a precedent that many anime followed for years...thefiller logic...Why have a short and complete anime when you can spend 20 episodes on a fight where only one punch is thrown and every motivation behind that punch is talked about.
thoughts: 1. 'nerd alert' 2. wasted potential...like an athlete with a ton of talent that never practices 3. annoying 4. he was more interesting with 1 arm
[QUOTE="rawsavon"]thoughts: 1. 'nerd alert' 2. wasted potential...like an athlete with a ton of talent that never practices 3. annoying 4. he was more interesting with 1 arm This. Word for word.
Gohan was my favorite character, especially during the cell games. I think as a kid I identified with him or something.. But I always really liked the dude.
Gohan is at least better than Kid Trunks and way better than Goten. I mean, seeing him defeat Cell with his dad's help was probably the most epic scene in DBZ. But after that, he was pretty much a wasted character who could have done a lot more for the series.
