There's the Great Saiyaman. I mean, he's so much stronger than the criminals that I guess he can't call it "fighting" but. He likes it.
I think Gohan likes saving people and helping more than he likes fighting for its own sake.
Fighting is just a means to an end for him, which is very contrary to the approach of Goku and Vegeta.

I mean, because he got cocky with Cell his dad ended up blowing up and because he got cocky with Buu he ended up getting eaten. And then blown up.
And. Frankly Gohan was a lot stronger than both Cell and Buu in those fights. The same way that human criminals are significantly weaker than him when he's Saiyamaning.
Yes Saiyaman is a verb.
A less charitable view might say that what Gohan likes is being a bully. If I wanted to psychoanalyze I could probably blame Raditz, Nappa and Frieza.
But what I think is going on is that what Gohan likes is saving the day.
I mean, he started superheroing before he got the costume and started doing the poses. A robbery was happening and he saw it, and he couldn't find it in himself to ignore it. So he went super-saiyan.
The Great Saiyaman is ultimately born from Gohan's drive and urge to protect and to save.
Which frankly makes the fact that he decides to want to be cool while doing it, and thinks that everything he does as the Great Saiyaman is actually cool even more dorky.
Considering what happened in Negima near the end, I see where you are coming from. Dragon Ball unfortunately is not a series where you can be a smart, scholarly person who uses his brain rather than brawn to fight.
"Mai waifu."
Either you use pure brawn, or your brain is used entirely to compliment the brawn. Outsmarting the enemy doesn't work unless they are really THAT stupid, because otherwise they would just kill you in an instant for being a smartass.
Pretty much.
Look at Murasaki's attempts to outsmart Goku. The latter either foiled them easily (because Murasaki himself is an idiot) or was outsmarted by Goku being too dumb to do what the former wanted him too.
This was a guy who, in lieu of not knowing how to reach the next floor of a building (and not knowing what an elevator was) opted to just bust through the ceiling instead.
He's got an uncanny knack of often being too strong to stop with brute force, and no selling techniques that work around brute force, or quickly finding his own work around.
Poor Spike the Devil man. He got screwed by Pure heart bullshit.
One Strip! One Strip!The only story in which he's actually published anything is the backstory of Dragonball Online, where his work was on ki manipulation and scientific basis for detecting it and measuring it, meaning the world at large suddenly knew that ki exists and that anyone can use it with the right training.
So, given that, my guess would be physics.
Makes sense and from what I've read, she hates Cabba. Why do I get the feeling that he's going to end up the Butt-Monkey for Universe 6?
The Dragon Ball Super website's source code, apparently.

This song needs more love.

Is that how the show's treating it?
