>>12621717Gohan was never based at any time.
Gohan was a shoot sissy who couldn't cut it in the big leagues.
He had to watch his family die before getting powerful enough to defeat the top heel, and he almost failed at doing that when the top heel made an immediate return and Gohan lost faith for the millionth time, again.
Way before that when Goku was dead, Gohan was dropped off in the desert to go take care of himself before Piccolo would train him, and Gohan bitched and moaned and cried like a pussy until he autismed so hard to the full moon that Piccolo had to literally blow up the moon to prevent Gohan from killing him.
Later when Gohan got his first "im angry" moment against Nappa, Nappa was toying with him and took every slap like a champ, no selling everything Gohan did.
On Namek, Gohan couldn't whoop anybody, and Frieza also no sold what Gohan did in a fit of rage over watching Piccolo take the pinfall.
Gohan's a fucking mark.
He fucking watched Android 16 get decapitated and in a sad 4-5 minutes of what may well be the absolute best promo in anime history, it had to dawn on Gohan for the first fucking time in his useless sad miserable little life that if he doesn't fight for what's right, there'll be nothing right to fight for and all he loves will be destroyed.
AFTER 11 YEARS OF FIGHTING TO PROTECT WHAT HE LOVES, HE NEVER NOTICED THAT THAT'S WHY HE FIGHTS. FUCKING MARK IDIOT.
Then the heel does a hospitalisation angle on #16's head and only then is when Gohan rises to the occasion. Shitty booking.
Saiyaman was Gohan suddenly remembering there's something to fight for, but being too much of a vanilla midget to just go out as the Golden Ultimate Warrior. Nah he had to get the fucking mask with the little cute insectoid antennae and the cape. Heroes don't wear capes.
A FUCKING SUPREME KAI HAD TO DIE JUST SO GOHAN COULD AWAKEN HIS POTENTIAL, AND HE THREW IT AWAY TO GET EATEN BY BUU.
Gohan is the most Janetty of all DBZ characters. Oolong is booked better.
