The latest episode of the Dragon Ball Super leaves a bittersweet aftertaste after Dyspo and Gohan’s elimination. While Goku and Vegeta are still trying to bring Jiren down, Android 17 has been fighting Toppo alone for a while. The next episode shows Frieza and Android 17 working together to bring Toppo down. As much as I want to see Toppo and Gohan have a posing battle in the Tournament of Power, this thing will never happen. But there is one thing that is even more disappointing about Gohan’s elimination.
You guess it right, Gohan doesn’t have any new transformation or even a powerup. In fact, he is the only Saiyan who doesn’t get any powerup or new transformation. Kale learned to control her “Legendary Super Saiyan” form. Caulifla was able to reached Super Saiyan 2. Even Cabba was given the mercy of reaching Super Saiyan 2 before his elimination. And, you know, Ultra Instinct and Migatte Blue for his father and his father’s best buddy sort-of.
We saw him re-acquire and use his Ultimate form this arc, but after that, he was never able to unlock something new. Even Future Trunks was able to pull out that Super Saiyan Rage in the Zamasu arc. Maybe it was just fans’ misconception about Gohan’s power level and potential (which has been highlighted since DBZ) or Gohan doesn’t fit in the plot against Jiren or Toppo.
Many fans suggest that he gets his transformation or powerup in this arc but we should see that Gohan is expected not to be much relevant in Dragon Ball Super. He have a lot of potential as mentioned by goku in Cell Arc but ever since then he continue to fall behind Goku and Vegeta.
Dragon Super is mainly about Goku, Vegeta and the Gods. Even the character we once hyped about which is Gotenks never shown much on the series. There is a reason why Akira makes Gohan way too weak then what he is supposed to be.
One thing about Gohan that have been improved by Akira is the maturity and overconfidence that he once had. Picollo pointed out these weaknesses when he was training him to regain back his Ultimate form. We have seen maturity from Gohan in the fight against Lavendar and Obuni.
His intelligence what brings Dyspo, if he had not think about limiting Dyspo movement, the fight would be much more harder consider the speed that Dyspo has. So, this is a win-win situation for Universe 7.
Just think about this Gohan elimination as a massive contribution on the survival of universe 7.
