Gohan (Full potential) vs Goku

*BoG is set 6 months after the Boo saga- confirmed by multiple episode summaries and previews.

*RoF is set no more than 1 year after BoG, but probably less- Pan had just been conceived in BoG, and had just been born in RoF.

*RoF segways straight into the U6vs.U7 Tournament- the mainstream timeline's Super Dragon Balls are used.

*The U6vs.U7 Tournament segways straight into the Zamasu arc- Pan is an infant, and cannot even talk/walk on her own yet.

*The Zamasu arc segways straight into the ToP- before the ToP commenced, Daishinkan stated that the Super Dragon Balls were usable again, which implies that roughly 1 year had passed between the U6/U7 Tourney and the ToP(that's how long it takes the SDB's to reset.) Pan is still depicted as an infant who can barely talk/walk on her own, which aligns with the aforementioned timeframe.

So yeah there are about 3 years between the Boo saga and the ToP... Give or take a few months.

What if Gohan went back into the RoSaT room to study for 2 days?

You're only really supposed to be able to use it for one.

But I think Gohan would zip way past wherever Goku could get in another year. The way I figured it, Gohan basically had a built in xp bonus, on account of his half blood. All Saiyans are limitless, he can just do it faster then most.

But he's also lazy and lacks motivation, so it never happens.

Gohan would exit and use it again to work on his studies.

DB works on a rubber band effect. Goku and Vegeta train and others just rubber band to their level just so they aren't useless. Gohan training for a year might surpass Goku where ever he is at the time but he would never utterly eclipse Goku or make it so he couldn't catch up.

Look at how useless all the training was before Super outside of Namek for instance. Characters only adjust to the levels Goku/Vegeta are at. They don't follow their own progression. If Goku was still only SS3, Gohan would only rubber band to that stage. If Goku's max was God, Gohan would go there. It doesn't matter how long he trains, it only matters what Goku is currently operating at. Gohan could train for 3 years or 3 days and the end result would be still be somewhere around Goku.

All the other characters are just Mario Kart AI, Gohan included.

Shame, isn't it?

Things didn't used to be that way, but as of DBS any characters not named Goku or Vegeta are basically just there for moral or comedic support. ermm

Every warrior in DBS is limitless since everyone is always, without exception, improving... Saiyans are just faster because their depth of power is already much deeper (whatever the reason is) and Gohan here simply outclasses Goku and I think it would happen what you said, he would just go past Goku.

His potential is no greater than Vegeta or Goku (might even be less since he is not full saiyan)

In the end he will always one below Goku. (Hell most like Vegeta too)

One Big Mob has it right

Do you even remember anything past the androids saga?

Piccolo's fight against Frost and him acknowledging Gohan's growth is better than anything he did in the Buu saga.

Roshi had one of the best episodes in the entire tournament.

Krillin recruitment episode is better than anything he got past the Namek saga except for 18.

Even Tien did about the same or more in Super than what he did in the Buu saga.

Bulma and Trunks were an actual important part of the Future trunks arc in comparison to them being sidelined in the Cell saga and Future Mai actually got a surprising amount of focus.

Freeza was treated much better than in the Androids saga where he only existed to show off how strong Trunks was.

****ing 17 was debatably the MVP of the tournament and was treated better than ANY non Saiyan was in Z.

Initially Gohan was supposed to be superior to Goku. In fact, in both Buu and Cell saga, Gohan was by far the strongest non fused Z warrior.

In Super and/or BoG, Gohan is crap. I'm shocked! Why the complete 180? Is he so unpopular in Japan?

Gohan is a pussy.

He got his five minutes in Super, so you can't complain that much.

Still, yeah, he was pretty disappointing. Even in GT, he was at least the strongest warrior on Earth (if we exclude Vegeta and Goku, of course).

And retained his Mystic form in the Hirudegarn movie (in which he was still a pussy compared to Goku). And Vegeta, the superior Saiyan, saved Gohan's ass.

Let's just face it, a pussy will always be a pussy.

Bout right ^ lol
