Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Will Focus On Gohan & Piccolo, Says Producer
Series producer Akio Iyoku says Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will focus on Gohan and Piccolo. Goku and Chi-Chi’s half-breed Saiyan son, Gohan, was first introduced in Dragon Ball Z. Following Goku’s fight with Raditz, and the former’s first stint Other World, Gohan was trained by Goku’s former nemesis Piccolo, who became an unexpected father figure. As Gohan continued to chip away at his latent potential—from Super Saiyan 2 to Ultimate/Mystic—he became poised to usurp his father as the strongest Z fighter. Nevertheless, Dragon Ball Super once again sidelined Gohan, making Goku and Vegeta the primary focus of the series.
For most of Super, Gohan slacked off and relied on his outdated Super Saiyan transformations rather than his superior, Ultimate form when fighting. It wasn’t until right before the Tournament of Power that Gohan regained his Ultimate form while training with Piccolo. After the anime hit the pause button, the manga continued to concentrate on Goku and Vegeta at the expense of Gohan. Promotional material for the upcoming movie, Super Hero, implies that Gohan and Piccolo will play a major role in combating the Red Ribbon Army’s latest androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2.
