The fact that Gohan didnt go AWOL, psycho, etc. is wild. He has the most fukked up backstory

[Hostile]

But again, Goku didn't deliberately decide not to save them. He saved Mr. Satan and Dende because they were right in front of them, thought he could reach the kids, but couldn't.

You're projecting nonsense onto a show that doesn't do subtext. You think Goku would have been so shaken up afterwards if he was like "Nah, fukk 'em"? Mr. Satan was far more useless than Gohan could've ever been - we only know he wound up coming in handy IN HINDSIGHT.

Goku grabbed the first person he saw cuz it was the right thing to do but couldn't save everybody. End of story.

Also, Gohan never got beat up when he had the power advantage. The only reason things went left against Buu was because Buu faked everybody out with his little explosion - he had all that shyt planned from the moment he sensed Gohan's ki.

Gohan had the power advantage and lost it. He's not a smart fighter. Lost against Fat Buu, Super Buu, and would've lost against Kid Buu too. Dude didn't win a single fight in that saga. Was an embarrassment against Dabura, got his power drained by Babidi's weed carriers....

Gohan was weaker than Fat Buu. And again, Super Buu had his entire fight with Gohan mapped out already. Gohan was washing him until he pretended to explode and absorb everybody.

And you still haven't addressed the fact that Goku didn't choose to leave him behind.

Which means he lost. WAS washing him doesn't matter. He dropped the ball. GOHAN LOST. Stop making excuses.

I don't care. Goku got over their deaths faster than he got over Vegeta killing those people at the tournament. Gohan didn't do anything worth noting against Buu. Mr Satan made him an ally.

He didn't "drop the ball." Buu had a plan and cheated the game to get stronger than him.

 

[Wild self]

Anyone ever think that Gohan’s “hidden potential” IS his trauma manifesting itself?


Look at what happened when he finally “let go” and went Super Saiyan 2. He became a heartless sociopath who whooped Cell’s ass and reveled in watching his suffering.


Thats why he was so afraid of unleashing his potential. He kept that part locked away because it WAS the PTSD and by unlocking it he was tapping into the part of himself that suffered the most.

Cheated? It was a fight. There were no rules.

But Gohan didn't make any mistakes. Not his fault nobody knew that Buu could just absorb nikkas to get stronger than him. Anybody in that spot is getting washed when the opposition can pull ahead by just absorbing people.

Chi chi dumb rich too she needs to stop frontin knows she got money from her rich ass daddy... she just be trying to make goku work and shyt... man is superman y'all live in the woods as farmers why the fukk does he need to get a job for...

that nikka went broke around the time Beerus showed up

Ox-King

Ox-King becomes poor after the fire in Fire Mountain burned his treasure. Without his treasure, he is unable to support Chi-Chi and Goku which makes Chi-Chi tell Goku to get a job.

Keep your cash in a place named "Fire Mountain" and be surprised when there's a fire brehs


Low key I'm not completely mad at her for telling Goku to get a job...but it's not like she can't get a job either

Gohan is grown by that point and I'm pretty sure Goten isn't going to be studying either way

He allowed Goten and Trunks to join the fight. That was a mistake. He should've knocked them out like Vegeta.

They were definitely too young and lacked enough training while having a Vegeta sized ego. Super powerful but a lot to learn. At that point, the Z Fighters were just that desperate to save the planet. fukked up and it's no excuse but even the vets had guilty consciences about sending them in.

If Toei had great writers that be serious potential for Gohan buuuuut they don't

Chi Chi and Goku as parents? That boy LAWST.
