Dragon Ball Creator Sets Up Gohan's True Power

By Megan Peters

Dragon Ball Super has kept quiet since its first film dropped in 2018, but it won't be long before the anime heats up. There are just a few weeks separating fans from the release of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, after all. The movie promises to test Gohan in ways we've never seen before, and now, the franchise's creator is opening up about the hero's real potential.

The whole thing got started after Akira Toriyama did a short Q&A interview with the Dragon Ball team. The anime's official Twitter shared the excerpt with fans, and Toriyama's first comment left netizens buzzing over Gohan.

After all, Toriyama made a bold claim during the interview by saying "Gohan is actually stronger than anyone" with a catch (via Herms98). The creator went on to acknowledge the anime's claim about Gohan has been undercut time and again by the Saiyan himself. Goku's son could become stronger than him, but Gohan would have to dedicate his life to training in that case. Obviously, that is not what Gohan wants to do given his studies and family, but Toriyama acknowledges the Saiyan's potential.

Now, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will given Gohan a chance to let loose in a way we've not seen in ages. The hero last pushed himself during the Cell saga, and Gohan had his moments during Majin Buu's reign. And if Toriyama is so inclined, Gohan might peel away new parts of his potential when Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero debuts this summer!
