Dragon Ball Super has been bustling with activity this month. Recently, the series treated fans to an anticipated showdown between Son Goku and his son Gohan on the battlefield.
As a finale to the manga’s Super Hero arc, the father-son duo decided to settle the age-old debate of who reigns supreme. But did Dragon Ball Super actually deliver a definitive answer?
If you’re wondering how the battle unfolded, well, if you guessed that Dragon Ball Super left things ambiguous, you’d be correct.
As Goku squared off against Gohan, both fighters immediately unleashed their most powerful transformations. Gohan showcased his formidable strength as he clashed with Ultra Instinct Goku.
Remarkably, Gohan’s might was such that he even managed to knock Ultra Instinct out of Goku. However, Vegeta pointed out that Goku’s battle experience provided him with a comparable advantage.
Ultimately, the battle ends in a stalemate, with Goku conceding defeat before Gohan. While many fans were swayed by Gohan’s display of power, Goku was quick to dispel any notions of superiority.
Summoning Broly to spar with Gohan, Goku admitted that he wasn’t fighting to emerge victorious. His sole aim was to test Gohan’s abilities, pushing himself just enough to achieve that objective.
True to form, Dragon Ball Super remains coy about the power levels of Goku and Gohan. Both fighters possess incredible strength, each with their own unique abilities.
Whether Dragon Ball Super will ever definitively settle the score between father and son remains uncertain. For now, it’s apparent that Goku and Gohan stand on equal footing at the very least.
For those who are yet to catch up on Dragon Ball Super, the manga is currently on hiatus but can be accessed through the Shonen Jump app. Here’s a brief overview of the series:
“After defeating Boo, Goku finds himself growing restless with life on Earth. Despite his wife Chi-chi’s insistence on finding a job, Goku’s passion lies in training and facing stronger adversaries.
Meanwhile, across the universe, the God of Destruction Beerus, and his attendant Whis seek out new culinary delights and sources of entertainment. Upon hearing whispers of a being known as the ‘Super Saiyan God,’ Beerus sets his sights on Earth in pursuit of this mysterious figure. Perhaps this will give Goku the challenge he’s been yearning for?”
