I kind of hate all the confusion this "Mystic" thing has caused. I always thought it was just unlocking his full potential so going SSJ would just be redundant, but then Super retconned it as just another transformation.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

And besides, who hasn't seen this show by now? TFS made that joke for a reason.

Ahh...one of the best...and most disappointing moments in the series.

[up][up][up] To be fair, it was a transformation before that in the 13th movie.

That hug was more mutual in the manga, by the way.

Didn't Goku hug Gohan in the manga?

Touching though. waii

[up] Knew it. I don't know why they changed it.

Kind of highlights how terrible Goku's characterization in Super is.

Sorry, Gotenks. The Joestar Family Secret Technique would have worked on anyone else.

"Mystic" being a transformation makes more sense than Gohan simply having his power maxed to me. If his power was maxed, there should be no reason to not also go Super Saiyan, since it functions as a power boost.

The whole point of "mystic" is that he doesn't need to transform. All of his latent power is focused and used without the need expending energy on transformations. Super Saiyan wouldn't make him any stronger and just drain his energy on something uneeded.

@ shigmiya: What Yakuzu said. It's like Goku and Gohan training to master the Super Saiyan transformation and reduce their power consumption before the Cell Games by staying in the form indefinitely, only Gohan having all his potential unleahed forgoes the need to transform at all. Don't you think that, if that were true, he would gone Super Saiyan or Super Saiyan 2 once Buu absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo?

That said, since Super treats Ultimate Gohan as, well, another transformation, more recent material says that he can do just that, but again, Super retcons basically the whole nine yards.

And this is why Chichi wanted Goten to hit the books. Unfortunately, Goten seems to have the intelligence of a cabbage. Trunks has no damn excuse.

They would have some cogent points if not for the near ubiquity of those dragon balls.

Man, I really wish the version of Gohan Angers with the violin and guitars got an official release. Hell, I wish a lot of tracks from the old dub got an official release.
