I– I don’t even know how to begin this because thirteen year old me can’t come to terms with the situation. I was eating cereal watching the new Dragon Ball Super episodes, seeing Goku and Vegeta go beyond Super Saiyan God mode, fight mofos from a different universe, meet the king of all 12 universes, and get the fucking galaxy dragon balls. I’m like, bast damn they’re doing the most, then I noticed two things: one, there weren’t enough raisins in my Raisin Nut Bran cereal (y’all slacking), and two, where the hell was Gohan?
Gohan wasn’t around at all? Then I heard it mentioned in passing that dude had a business meeting he couldn’t get out of… *wipes hand down face* Yo, this has been a long time coming and I hate to be the one to bring it up but it’s time someone said aloud that Gohan straight up let the DBZ fandom down. This dude was supposed to be the truth, supposed to take over the rock from his pops, Goku, but it’s like homie straight up peaked in the Cell Games. Gohan’s win on Cell is basically his one platinum hit (with features). My mans was a fucking baby-face animal that’s not a killa but don’t push him!
Gohan was voted most likely to succeed in DBZ and been chilling, making beats for five summers in his mom’s basement. I’m talking “Damn homie, (LITERALLY) in high school/Dragon Ball Z you was the man, homie… the fuck happened to you?” Now if you gonna try and say “oh he got a wife and kid now. He’s a family man.” That ain’t no excuse. He couldn’t dust off the NordicTrack? My man couldn’t hop on Groupon to get a discount at a Bikram yoga class? You mean to tell me couldn’t hope on the anti-gravity Bowflex at all (is anyone even getting these references)? I don’t wanna hear y’all blaming his mom Chi-Chi for trying to make him a scholar either. Chi-Chi wanted him to get a good job, which he did, but she ain’t want ’em to be a lame. Chi-Chi knew it was downhill once he started that Saiyaman phase and began to train Goten immediately. The fandom’s also so quick to be like, “Well Goku wasn’t around,” “Goku was training all the time. Died. Stayed dead. Came back–” Lemme cut you the fuck off right there.
How many times did Goku save Earth’s ass? How many times did homie die for Earth? Then he went and trained his son to take over and fucking died when Gohan got cocky with Cell. Bruh, we ain’t blaming that man’s Pops for shit. If my daddy had to train all the time cause Earth was always in danger from ‘roided up rando aliens trying to run the natural resources, I’m not crying about his ass not being there for me, ’cause he’d say, “Oh you wanna pull the my-daddy-wasn’t-there-to-toss-a-football-with-me card? That’s ’cause I was making sure you had a damn atmosphere over your head to even toss the damn thing.”
No, sir. I’m doing push ups ’cause I’m gonna be damn sure able to windmill the rock when he gets knocked and passes it to me. Not Gohan though… this guy legit went from child prodigy to State Farm customer service agent. Look at ya mans now… LOOK AT YOUR MANS AND DEM!
…Man, y’all know why we here. Let’s put this horse out to pasture.

This is the most amazing post about anything DB I have every seen, and I’ve been reading stuff on Dragon Ball since before the Namek Saga dub, Telemundo broadcasting original Frieza battle back in the day fan. TKO.

I was just thinking the same thing for past couple years.

Oh my God, this article is the truth! I’ve been arguing with my family over how much Gohan sucks since we saw Resurrection F in the theatre. In Resurrection F Gohan said he “might” be able to go Super Saiyan…he “might.” WTF do you mean you “might” be able to go Super Saiyan?! What have you been doing for the past few years?! One of my relatives said to me: “Gohan needed to focus on getting an education and earning money. Goku’s a lazy Karate bumb who’s never worked or paid a bill in his life, so Gohan had to make Chichi proud. Plus, he doesn’t need to train ‘cause the rest of the Z Warriors keep up with their training.” I don’t care how successful Gohan’s trying to be, he should never stop training and fighting with the rest of the Z Warriors! He’s seen firsthand how often villains attack West City. There’s no way he can afford to slack on his training. Then he married Videl, who blackmailed him and was always walking around mean muggin’ in DBZ. My fellow DBZ fans are in denial about the fact that at the moment, Gohan’s trash. At least you were honest about it. Great article.

Yo, tell your relative that Goku won the World Martial Arts Tournament when he was like 18 or some shit. That’s 10 million Zeni. Loaded. That’s how they bought the house and all that land. What did Chi-chi pay for? Nothing. Her ass was broke after Master Roshi used the Kameha to destroy fire mountain (trying to put the fire out), destroying all the treasure and wealth her dad (ox king) had. Noooobody had to work till fuckin Dragonball Super. AND, at the end if that episode, Hercule gives Goku 100 MILLION ZENI. Shit’s lit. Why you think nobody was working during Dragonball GT, and dude got GRANDKIDS. Generational money. Plus, Bulma is a genius who is literally the richest person in that world. Jay Z- Kanye. If he needs something she got him. They were rollin around back when Bulma still found Yamcha attractive. They were rollin around back when Yamcha was still scared of girls! Goku the reason everybody stays fed. Even though they’re a saiyan family who eats 20x The Rocks daily caloric consumption EVERY MEAL. C’mon, Gohan actually has no excuse.

Lmao!!!! Awesome.

WHY WAS THIS SO HILLARIOUS….AND ON POINT ?!?!?!!!!??
The creators had something in mind for Gohan at one point….but then something changed. That change threw off a lot of fans who were expecting him next. The ENTIRE SUBTEXT OF THE DRAGON BALL Z ORIGINAL SERIES WAS GOHAN IS UP NEXT !!!
We honestly don’t know why this happened…and therefore your article was warranted

Jesus that was funny XD Gohan just got wrecked worse then when Super Buutenks stomped him lmao. It’s all true though Gohan’s been slacking for far too long. Even when he didn’t he would always pull a Vegeta and get too cocky.

Roasted Gohan harder than Buu did good GOD
Blah
I bet Toriyama is still shook after those fans sent death threats when he was doing Cell Saga and that’s why Gohan keeps getting jobbed out and fucked over.
