Dragon Ball: The Reason Future Gohan Never Made It To Super Saiyan 2

The official narrative of Dragon Ball Super, created by Akira Toriyama and Toyotaro, unfolds every 20th of the month with a new episode in V-Jump magazine. However, there are certain plots that diverge from the main plot and that serve as the basis for video games or parallel series. In these instances, the developments of the characters can vary, as is the case of Gohan from the future, who never achieved the transformation to Super Saiyan 2.

For example, to promote the game Dragon Ball Heroes, a new free series was created that is shared via YouTube with the same name. The title took advantage of the popularity of the Tournament of Power saga to present us with an alternate future where Goku and Vegeta do not continue their training with Whis and Bills, but instead respond to an emergency call to rescue Trunks who has been trapped on the planet. Prison.

In one of the last arcs of this series, we saw that a new martial arts tournament began, but with some particular rules. Instead of being between universes, it was a fight between time lines.

For this reason, various versions of Goku, Frieza and Jiren faced death in really strange scenarios. Perhaps the one that caught the most attention from the fans was that one-armed Gohan.

In case you didn’t know, it’s about Gohan from the future. The one who had to face the fight against the androids together with Trunks from the future. The question that brings us here today is why this character failed to become even stronger.

Why did Future Gohan never reach Super Saiyan 2?

First, we must clarify that Gohan has always been considered the strongest or most prodigious Saiyan, since during the fight against Cell, he reached Super Saiyan 2 without having heard about it before. All of this, of course, fueled by his frustration at seeing a powerful fighter that none of his friends could beat.

However, Gohan’s timeline from the future is very different. The character uses teleportation to get to kill Frieza and King Cold, but no future Trunks ever arrives to bring the medicine for Goku, so his father dies.

The Androids take the opportunity to eliminate the z warriors after Goku’s absence and Piccolo also falls in combat, which means that the dragon balls also cease to exist. Precisely, the death of his closest relatives and friends is the reason why he manages to reach Super Saiyan 1 for the first time.

Unfortunately, this would be your limit. Despite the fact that he trained every day and became a formidable fighter, he never managed to fulfill his potential and the reason behind why he didn’t reach Super Saijan 2 could be in Vegeta’s history.

Let’s remember that when Vegeta stays on Earth he feels greatly surpassed by Goku and he was training in the gravity machine for many months. He strengthened his body but didn’t improve his ki. Only when he was in actual combat did he manage to push his limits.

Future Gohan may have been through a similar situation. The character’s limit is not physical, since it is the same little prodigy, but his limit is mental. In addition, it must be added that the Super Saiyjan for them was already a very high level of power and they may have thought that this was the highest development of their race.
