He has a life outside of fighting. He is a scholar who likes to know of the world.

To quote the awful Red Sonja movie...

There'll be no world. THERE'LL BE NO WORLD.

I'm not saying he should be as obsessive as Goku or Vegeta but keep things up. At this point he should realize there is always going to be a new threat. It doesn't mean he can't have a life outside of training. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

@Lord Why would you find a job in Gohan's shoes?

His wife is rich.

Say what you will about Gohan, but he's probably the only Saiyan who knows how to pay his taxes.

Also, the whole point of Goku making Uub his successor was because Gohan and Goten just couldn't do it, since Gohan had a life and Goten got more interested in girls than fighting. Really, we've known this for 20 years, how is this a surprise to you?

Given that he lives in Nowhere Mountain in the middle of Nowhere Mountain Range, I doubt he has to actually pay any taxes.

[up]Nobody ever said anything about it being surprising. Literally the only person to mention it being surprising in any way is you.

He'd only slacked off once before and admitted it was a mistake, even the GT guidebook says he continued to train.

It wasn't a thing that he does until this movie decided to continue it. Easily could have had him learn, but why do that when you have a great excuse to fodderize him?

[up][up] no that was outright acknowledged that Goku was just being selfish and wanted a rematch.

It's not like they even need to do it. Ultimate Gohan wouldn't be able to beat Gold Freeza, if he can seriously present a threat to Goku at this point.

There really was no need to depower Gohan again. Just have him beat the tar out of everyone except Freeza.

No, it was Goku taking steps to have a new protector of Earth, since none of his kids are able to do it and once he and Vegeta die of old age they are never coming back to help. Hell, that was the whole reason he wanted Gohan to beat Cell in the first place, so that he can have someone take over for him once he's no longer around.

Although he must have moved out with Videl eventually. I doubt their house would be in the middle of nowhere, as well.

I hope we get to see baby Pan stuff. At least some acknowledgement of her existence. I doubt there will be much Gohan/Videl interactions, considering we're going to get some Krillin/18 stuff. But it would be cool.

[up][up] I know. I'm excited to see what they do.

It's also interesting that Gohan seems to be the de-facto leader of the B-Team in RF. It makes sense, but it's so interesting seeing someone other than Goku commanding everyone.

Goku never commanded everyone. Goku is the Artillery or the Cavalry, he's never the commander.

[up] He's more like a Supreme Commander that rarely exercises his powers.

Goku: KRILLIN! Spare Vegeta!

Krillin: But..

Goku: THAT'S AN ORDER, SOLDIER!!!

Goku: Fight him!

Gohan: B-but...

Goku: Do it or your courtmartialed from the family... I mean I... uh...believe in you and junk.

He's more like that guy who is stronger than you and whose orders you follow because he can beat you up. Basically, he's the strongest and most experienced member of the gang, but not necessarily the leader.

The excuses to cull out the cast are hilariously feeble. Why would Gohan tell Goten and Trunks to stay back? "Buu is asleep", well that's just lazy.

I also don't see the point of taking away Gohan's Ultimate power. He's not going to be a threat to Freeza if the letter can actually fight God Goku and even without the Ultimate state he should be hilariously stronger than any of Freeza's soldiers.

I think they had a Super Saiyan quota. Goku and Vegeta probably aren't going to use it, and they didn't want to put Goten and Trunks because they're from the Buu Saga. That left Gohan as the only option. As stupid as that seemed.

And it's funny, people are annoyed at them taking characters out of the plot for stupid reasons, but...guys. The humans are participating! It's like, everyone's dream come true!

That's just even worse, frankly.

It's a dream of a bunch of very vocal fans who care for some really shitty characters.

The only human I like is Krillin, who shows up all the time anyway.
