1. Gohan doesn’t like fighting

Many fans used to wonder why Gohan couldn’t reach the same level as Goku and Vegeta. As the first Saiyan-Earth hybrid, with aggressive blood running through his veins and a fighting potential stronger than any Saiyan, Gohan should have become the strongest Super Saiyan currently. The problem here is personality.

Gohan is inherently a pacifist who doesn’t want to fight when it’s not necessary, and this may be the influence of Chi Chi’s upbringing. Unlike other Saiyan warriors, perhaps Gohan was not born to be a crazy warrior, although he has enough potential to overcome everything. Anyway, this is probably a very unique characteristic and makes him different from other warriors.

2. Strongly influenced by family

As mentioned above, we can easily see that Gohan’s dislike of fighting is partly influenced by Chi Chi’s upbringing. Gohan did not have the opportunity to adventure everywhere like Goku, nor did he have the opportunity to train much, nor could he participate in tournaments that were not allowed. Because of those limitations, Gohan was not trained to fight and gradually his desire to fight decreased.

Until he got married, Gohan’s views changed even more. Although he consciously trains to protect his loved ones, Gohan is always affected by the responsibility of taking care of his family. He would rather spend his time focusing on research, building his career, cultivating his future,… than fighting all the time. Besides, Gohan also does not like having to shoulder too much responsibility in protecting the world.

Do you remember that Gohan once wanted Goku’s permission to participate in the tournament between universes 6 and 7 to verify the results of his training? But when he learned that the date of the tournament coincided with the upcoming science conference, Gohan apologized and expressed his desire to participate in the draft for Videl.

3. Born at the wrong time

Being born at the wrong time is probably one of the reasons why Gohan did not have the opportunity to fight as much as his father and ancestors. Times create heroes, but Gohan was born in a time of peace, when fighting Earth invaders and threats to the world was unnecessary.

4. Doesn’t like fighting, but loves martial arts

This is something that not everyone realizes. It’s true that Gohan doesn’t like fighting, but that doesn’t mean Gohan doesn’t want to practice and train himself. Simply put, you don’t have time to do that when you have to worry and take care of your family.

In fact, we’ve seen that Gohan seems to enjoy fighting his father. He even revealed that he himself loves martial arts as a sport, and it’s easy to see that he thoroughly enjoys himself every time he practices.

Even after the Cell Saga, Gohan did not completely give up fighting. He still practiced a bit, even training Goten and Videl. During the battle with Dabura, although it did not seem like he had gotten any stronger compared to the Cell Games, Gohan still showed that his fighting skills had improved significantly.

5. It is possible to make a difference in the future

Although he had wasted so much time, he became much weaker than before, to the point where he could not even compete with Piccolo, but thanks to his master’s strict training, along with his sense of responsibility to protect the universe, Tower 7, Gohan has gradually regained his original strength as before. In a short time, Gohan was able to gain enough strength to reach the top 4 of universe 7’s warriors in the Tournament of Power, just behind Goku, Vegeta, Golden Frieza and tied with Android 17.

Therefore, you can absolutely achieve greater achievements in the next season of Dragon Ball Super, right?
