Throughout the years, Dragon Ball fans have held Gohan in high regard after his showing against Cell even if his later years never quite brought him back to his highest moments of the series.
But although he's never quite reached his strongest peaks, fans still love paying tribute to their favorite every May 8, which is Gohan Day among series fans.
The next number pun fan holiday: May 8th, Gohan Day (May=5=Go, while 8=hachi=ha). Celebrate by continuing to be a highly relevant character. And with fan art. https://t.co/KrEjNBnhx6

Based on the Japanese language pun where the number five is read like "Go" and the number eight is read like "Hachi," fans always celebrate Gohan Day in special ways. One of the particularly notable pieces of fan-art (from Twitter user @cc6512) pays tribute to the many different versions of Gohan throughout the series.
Along with the Great Saiyaman (and Saiyawoman, along with another Videl hidden among the Gohans), there is a representation of each Gohan, so there's Kid Gohan, Teen Gohan, Future Gohan, Adult Gohan, and even the most recent Professor Gohan (before Gohan's return to form during the Tournament of Power, of course).
Dragon Ball Super currently airs its English dub on Adult Swim during the Toonami programming block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m. It is also available to stream on Funimation and Amazon Video. The Japanese language release of the series is complete, and available to stream on Funimation, VRV, and Crunchyroll.
If you want to catch up with the English dub, the first 52 episodes of Dragon Ball Super are now available to stream on FunimationNOW, VRV, and available to purchase on Amazon Video as well. The 52 episodes span the full range of what has aired in the North America and covers the "Battle of Gods" arc, "Revival of F" arc, the "Universe 6" arc, and bringing the series right up to the current TV airings of the "Future Trunks" arc.
The first Dragon Ball Super film is set to release this December in Japan, and it has just released its first trailer. The film will focus on the Saiyans, the "origins of Goku's power," and potentially the story of the very first Super Saiyan. Not only does it aim to be the best film in the series, original creator Akira Toriyama will be contributing to the film's script and character designs.
