This character always had to replace Goku. There is a reason why it didn't work here.

Dragon Ball It is one of the most influential cartoons of the SHONEN series and the most influential cartoon. The series started with Goku and Krillin, but as it progressed, many other characters were introduced and many of them changed. For example, Krellin has a side job and Saia has a spotlight from Saia In Saga.

But Goku is the most symbolic character of this series, but he did not remain the main character. Dragon Ball ZEspecially after cells. But who could replace him in this role?

Toriyama tried to make Gohan the main character.

many Dragon Ball Z Fans thought Gohan would eventually surpass Goku in terms of power. In fact, most fans were shocked by Cell Saga later followed by Gohan. Because it seemed clear that he would continue training and be the most powerful warrior on the planet.

At that time, there were many evidence to support this faith. From Saiyan Saga to Cell Saga, Gohan passes through intense character Arc and wakes Super Saiyan 2 and ultimately defeats cells. Moreover, the character often mentions how tremendously the fundamental potential of Gohan looks. Even Joku recognizes it at some point. Finally, the future of the future made it a glimpse of fans. Therefore, there was a strong meaning that Gohan would eventually be the most powerful warrior in the series.

This is not the perception that some fans have by chance. In fact, Toriyama acknowledged that Kohan originally plans to be a hero of a couple, and explains why so many people think that cartoons were led here.

Dragon Ball lasts longer! From now on, as the main character, he will be his serious son, Gohan, on behalf of the late Koku!

He changed his heart and kept Goku as the main character.

But why not? Toriyama has also changed. While writing, he didn't think Gohan would work as well as Koku as the main character. So he changed his plan for the character. According to the former editor, Torishima, Toriyama suffered a lot of difficulties with his wife, especially high school arc.

Many fans don't like to be Gohan in the BUU SAGA, but they are actually his personality. Gohan was powerful but not very interested in fighting and always liked studying. Piccolo, who knows that Kohan has tremendous potential, is not meaningful that he can easily skip the training to him, but it is reasonable to focus on training.

Will BUU SAGA get better with Gohan as the main character?

Some fans think that if the GOHAN is in the spotlight, BUU SAGA would have been better. Well, the story will be clearly different from what we saw, but is it reasonable to be this character?

As mentioned, Gohan was never like this. If you don't believe that a threat will come in a few years, unless someone like Piccolo doesn't force him, training is not significant for him. The future of the future proves that he can be strong, but the future of the future proves that this is a sad life to Gohan.

Dragon Ball Super is a little defined to Gohan

A few years later, Toriyama once again turned to Gohan and showed that Gohan could be the most powerful warrior, not the main character. In fact, this role seems to be better for the person who always did.

~ Inside Dragon Ball Super: Super HeroGohan woke up his beast. The beast is the same as the evolutionary version of the evolved Ultimate, which is originally called Final Gohan. As usual, Gohan unlocked such a tremendous power after seeing his loved ones (in this case Piccolo) as a real risk. He is unlikely to be the main character in this new form, but Gohan can play an important role in approaching. Dragon Ball Super Arc.
