(Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO - Main Theme (HQ OFFICIAL OST))

https://youtu.be/LHSpZtLAYH4

Vanessa: Son Goku, one of Dragon ball's strongest characters and icon of the franchise. He's famous for becoming the first Super Saiyan, going toe-to-toe with the God of Destruction Beerus and the first mortal to achieve Ultra Instinct which even the Gods of Destruction have trouble mastering. But every hero needs a legacy and today we're looking one of his two sons, Gohan.

Nakano: Gohan was born after Chi-Chi and Goku had gotten married. But whereas Goku prefers fighting and training, Chi-Chi prefers education above all else and forced Gohan to study. That is until Raditz came all along, revealed Goku's Saiyan heritage and kidnapped Gohan. In the end, Goku sacrificed himself to take his own brother out. But Piccolo saw firsthand how Gohan, merely 4 years old at the time, is able to land a serious blow to Raditz and decides to train him.

Sara: Piccolo eventually became a second father to Gohan until Goku's comeback, but still trains under the Namekian from time to time, though still put his education first and got married to Videl and had Pan.

Sara: It should come as no surprise that Gohan is incredibly skilled since he's trained by both Goku and Piccolo. In fact, Piccolo has stated Gohan has greater potential than Goku himself. He can also weaponize life energy commonly known as Ki.

Nakano: He can use Ki to unleash energy beams such as his iconic Masenko, the Kamehameha and the Special Beam Cannon, which is Piccolo's signature move. But of course, it's not Dragon Ball without transformations. Gohan can obviously use Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 which increases his power by 50 and another. But he's got two different forms as well: Ultimate and Beast Gohan. Ultimate is where he unlocks all of his potential which laid dormant due to his pacifist nature via Chi-Chi.

Vanessa: But the real show stopper is Beast Gohan, which he unlocks after supposedly witnessing Piccolo's death at Max Cell's hands similar to how he gained SSJ2 after Perfect Cell killed Android 16. His power skyrockets and he's been stated by Toriyama himself to be on the same level as Jiren, Ultra Instinct Goku and even Broly in that form, if not even stronger.

Feats

As Ultimate Gohan, he was able to force Goku up to Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x10 just to beat Gohan (The narrator stated the Gohan had rivaled Goku's power at the point before Kaioken)

Defeated the Universe 6 Namekians Saoneru and Pirina with Piccolo

Stalemates Kefla (DBS Manga)

Eliminated Botamo of Universe 6 and Obuni from Universe 10

Defeated Cell and Cell Juniors

Killed Super Perfect Cell with Father-Son Kamehameha

Punched Perfect Cell hard enough to spit out Android 18, forcing to his Semi-Perfect form

Can deflect bullets with one finger while drunk

Defeated Dyspo with Frieza (By sacrificing himself)

Humiliated Super Buu during their first encounter

Badly damaged Raditz with a headbutt as a child

Defeated Bojack and his gang (Non-canon)

Pushed 3rd Form Frieza back when enraged

Fought Lavender to a draw while poisoned

Defeated Cell Max

Beast Gohan matched Ultra Instinct Goku (DBS Manga)

Nakano: Gohan has proven that he has what it takes to be a member of the Z-Fighters. He dealt a huge blow to Raditz at 4 years old, humiliated Super Buu in their first fight and he's best Cell twice, one being the original and the other being a clone name Cell Max. Cell claimed that he had enough power to destroy the entire solar system, a claim that's backed by official guidebooks. And Cell Max, while lacking the original Cell's regeneration, is stronger than that.

Vanessa: And while he ultimately lost against Goku, Gohan was still able to hold his own against his father who was in Super Saiyan Blue. This is impressive because Super Saiyan God Goku and Beerus nearly destroyed Universe 7 with one of their punches, which is 1,505 times larger than our observable universe. And it took Goku adding Kaioken to his Blue form to beat Ultimate Gohan.

Popup: The shockwaves that were produced were as fast and equal to the force delivered from their clash, putting God Goku's speed at 118.25 sextillion times FTL.

Sara: Hell, in the Super Manga, Ultimate Gohan was even able to stalemate Kefla who, in the anime, was able to force Goku to use Ultra Instinct to beat her. Though Goku was already exhausted and beat after his fight with Jiren. Still, he held his own against a fusion of two Saiyans wearing the Potara Earrings, which combines their power levels.

Vanessa: And if that's not impressive enough, Beast Gohan is able to hold his own against Ultra Instinct Goku. You know, the same form that even Gods of Destruction aren't able to achieve easily and defeated Jiren, who shook the World of Void just by powering up.

Weaknesses

Super forms drains stamina

Defeated by Super Buu (Gotenks absorbed) before being absorbed himself

Cannot breathe in space

Like Future Trunks, Kid Trunks, Goten, Bulla and Pan, Gohan lacks the Saiyan spirit and is less determined than Pure Saiyans (Vegeta, Goku, Bardock, etc) due to his human side inheritance taking over him (Lost his motivations and will to fight as he got older, preferring to fulfill his childhood dream and become a scholar. And he would only train and fight to protect his loved ones or if necessary)

Eliminated himself in order to eliminated Dyspo

Can be blinded by his own fury, which can lead to serious consequences

Gohan was prone to overconfidence, even dipping into sadism during his battle with Cell and seeking to prolong his suffering as retaliation for his crimes

But some reason, can't catch an earring while sober

Weakened by Lavender's poison

Nakano: But Gohan isn't completely unbeatable. Remember that Chi-Chi wants Gohan to have an education and thus he's not training all the time compared to the likes of Goku and Vegeta, which makes him a little rusty.

Sara: It also means he's less disciplined than Goku which makes him prone to underestimating opponents and losing his focus. Take the time he went up against Super Buu who absorbed Gotenks. Their first fight made him cocky enough to think he can best Buu a second time, only to get his ass whooped and absorbed as well.

Vanessa: He was even nearly killed by First Form Frieza. Frieza in his First Form, who was weaker than Super Perfect Cell prior to his Golden form. So yeah, kinda dropped the ball there guys.

Nakano: But when danger comes, Gohan would always be ready if he's needed. Threaten those he loves and you can be damn sure Gohan will unleash the Beast.

Gohan: Is that all you've got? Okay then. Guess it's my turn.
