Did Gohan sucked as a character?

Most criticized Goku for not finishin off Buu as SS3.

The fact that Gohan screwed-up at various points of his life seems "masked" just to pave the way as Goku's successor.

Gohan failure as SS2 literally caused the death of 2 fan-favourites: Goku & F.Trunks at Cell Games. Period.

Most view Goku's sacrifice as heroic. Wasn't that done already during his fight with Raditz.

Against Raditz, Gohan was a wimp, Piccolo was barely holding his own, so it was up to him to die along with Raditz. Acceptable.

At Cell Games, Gohan had every shot of finishin Cell.

Forget with the whole Cell thing, he slacked n his training for 7 years.

Forget his slacking, as thats largely contributed to his studious attitude.

He screwed-up again as Mystic Gohan. A Super Kamehameha would've finished off Buu, but subsequently allowed Gotenks & Piccolo to be absorbed, placing the complete DBZ universe in jeopardy.

Now really, as much as Gohan accomplished by saving Earth frm Cell & some of the things he did on Namek, I dont think he could redeem himself with all those screw-ups he did.

Btw, I'm a Gohan fanboy. ;)

Pretty much the only reason the story in DBZ even manages to progress is due to the heroes getting plot induced stupidity. Gohan had it, Goku had it, Vegeta had it, Piccolo had it...

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

He definitely had some pretty big mess-ups that came from the Saiyan Pride (arrogance more like it) that seems to be a trait of most Saiyans. Like you said, he could have finished off Buu as Mystic Gohan and Cell as SSJ2. That would be the only things I would put down as "unforgivable" errors though. The lay-off in training was something that is definitely explainable, what with Chi Chi being her academic-driven self and Gohan also being open to that.

Well he really let his arrogance against super buu and Cell its a saiyan thing,his arrogance cost his actions just like Vegeta would do as well for me they were truly unforgivable like you said,now before that no he wasn't arrogant he was just a kid who was fighting super aliens with power to blow up a planet and kidnapped by his fathers most great rival that time,well he's life really sucks at that point :lol:,as for not training hell i how can someone say no to Chi-Chi :lol:

The thing is, as far as the manga is concerned, Gohan doesn't actually prolonged the fight with Super Boo as he does with Cell. For Cell it's a clear case of sadism, he wants Cell to suffer. For Boo, it's nothing more than a casual beating. I think he only hits him a total 6 times and these are combo hits no doubt. This isn't a case of where he's trying to make Boo suffer, he's just fighting. Not to mention that Boo already has a plan, he's had a plan for nearly an hour and Gohan was just sort of test reminder for him. There's no way Gohan would ever have known Boo was going to plan something that big.

It's like if I said Future Trunks was an idiot because he wasted time making strange hand movements and firing off random blasts only to come out with a sword then blasting Freeza and wasting more time with his sword with cold instead of just instantly blasting them the moment he saw them.

We seem to sometimes forget that Gohan does not like fighting as much as his father, and he was forced to do all these things. We're talking about a 11 or 12 year old boy who was totally different from his father at that age; he didn't have that warrior drive in him, so he made a lot of mistakes. Goku was too naive, thinking since Gohan was his son, he would grow up just like him, loving to fight and take over.

Saiyan saga , Freeza saga , Cell saga Gohan were all cool , but Boo saga Gohan sucks , he's not the same Gohan he were before I found hipm really annoying at that saga anyway Gohan was responsable for Goku and Trunks's death at Cell games but he saved their lifes many times and speaking of this Goku was having the power to destroy fat Boo but he chooses not to only cuz of a stupid reason which is letting the boys and Gohan finishs him off which later end up with Boo killing all the Humans destroying Earth killing all the Z fighters exept Vegeta and him .

To be fair to Gohan, Goku intentionally withheld the fact the gohan was stronger than him at the Cell Games. Goku knew that he was no match for Cell and sent Gohan to fight desptie the fact he wasn't fighter like him. Gohan is hardly the only character to display such arrogance, Vegeta could had finished off Semi Imperfect Cell anytime but he is manipulated by Cell into letting him power himself so that they can have their 'fair' fight. Gohan did screw up and he did pay for it with the life of his father and friend but he is hardly the only character that screwed up in the series.

Couldn't agree more.

Some people don't realize that these aren't real people. This is a fiction story. It has a plot chart. It has rising actions and falling actions. It has plot twists. And most importantly, it's being written by a person.

Gohan was the man for me and then the Saiyaman saga started.

Buu saga Gohan should have been Goten

Trunks should have been a slightly less serious F Trunks

and Gohan should have been a slightly less serious F Gohan.
