There is no logical reason for Gohan to go SSJ, when he also has his Mystic state available. I was just pointing out that as of BoG, he could access both forms w/o an issue.
Yet by the time of RoF, Gohan was no longer sure that he could even access SSJ anymore(nevermind his Mystic state): (please log in to view the image)
This is important because judging by Pan's newborn appearance in RoF, it takes place a year at the most after BoG: (please log in to view the image)
...Which probably equates to the single fastest power-neutering in DB history.

The thing about Gohan is that he has never really wanted to be as great as he could be. He is a scholar, not a fighter. If given the choice, Gohan will always choose to study, not train. The only exceptions are when he has to train to protect the Earth and even then he never saw himself as the great defender of the planet until Goku basically said "do it or Cell kills us".
The ending of Z basically confirms that there is no one true successor to Goku as the defender of the planet. Just that so long as everyone contributes it all works out in the end, which is why they go out of their way to give everyone a moment in the final fight with Kid Buu.
True, but Mystic struck me as 'the scholar's way.' Rather than powered by rage, it made him strong, but more level headed. Gohan didn't want to be a fighter, but he *did* want to be able to protect people.
It'd make sense if, like, Piccolo, he gained strength from meditation.
Yeah, I always thought Gohan was supposed to be Goku's successor since the Cell saga, but it seemed like Toriyama scrapped that idea in favor of retaining Goku as sole protagonist.
He had moments of what seemed like confusion when he decided to make Mystic Gohan, then made up Vegetto, then ultimately decided Goku to deliver the finishing move to Buu.

In Toriyama's original draft, it was Gohan who prevailed over Buu. It was actually the manga/anime execs who ultimately forced him to scrap that draft in favor of one where Goku prevailed. That's why the end of the Buu saga seems particularly scatterbrained.
Definitely not.
