@@CAGExplains Yeah, I think you know what do to. This whole situation is just fresh. You have to walk the line for a bit. I think phrasing might be a bit more important for a while.

I sincerely think that when a mangaka does exactly what his fans ask him to do then his work becomes bad. DBS is fan fiction. A story made by a fan for fans, therefore a bad story. You should never give fans what they want but what they need. Not to lie, I find the people who comment under this video very cringe. Unable to understand that Toriyama has always portrayed Gohan as a young adult who hates violence and who prefers to spend time with his family rather than doing like his absent father and training every day. I'm glad Toriyama never listened to his fans. Eichiro Oda once said that a good manga is one that does not take into consideration the requests of its fans
@@robotboy765The problem with this is that, when the fans are hoping for a natural conclusion that the author also intends on, and expresses it, forces the author to change it. People don’t just have opinions on where their favorite franchise wants to go. They have expectations, and when an author doesn’t have an idea on how to warp and surpass those expectations… Then what the fuck should they do? One’s imagination is the limit, as they say. While your opinion has some merit, I feel as if it’s really only the “EXACTLY” part that I agree with in full stride, and the rest with a grain of salt. I mostly say this because I’ve been a fan of Sonic, and the amount of fancanons that throw around Scourge, Fleetway, and neo2004 fuckboy pride just agitates me at this point. Also, if a manga has a successor that’s a fan of it, is it automatically bad? Does the existence of multi-generational stories bother you? Authors are a fan of their own stories, I’m pretty sure.
He smiles because he is free, just like when he went ssj2. Honestly Gohan smiling at Cell, like a psycho instead of killing him, is exactly what Gohan is! It's completely the original character again. Cheeky snobby and better than, all these things are also Gohan. They're the expression of the inner Gohan. Let's not forget Gohan is someone who constantly holds back, someone who is seemingly meek and reserved and doesn't like fighting but is also someone extremely prideful, angry and debouch. When he transforms he puts aside the part of himself that seeks to please others and in turn exposes the freedom to cut loose and enjoy himself. Yes it makes perfect sense for him to smile like psycho. That's the smile of someone starved from expressing enjoyment relishing in their new state of freedom.
Bro how do you get your editing so immaculate. Like seriously its super nice. Honestly nice Gohan take (Im a Gohan fan but I hate how bro doesn't train). Btw may the goat rest in peace 🕊
To be fair… he did teach himself Special Beam Cannon off-screen. He just lacks his Fighting Sense/Mentality that’s necessary for Ultimate more than anything else.
as someone who got to where i am because of dragon ball roots no exaggeration, i'm subbed to you because i can truly feel your passion and love for the art
I know right! He talks very See the passion that he has for the series although He might need some drop off as his edited content is what makes him unique and different from the other people who critique DB
May sound selfish of me but I sincerely hope you don't stop being critical of this series People are the most critical of the things they love and we all love something about dragon ball. Just because of the unfortunate circumstances it shouldn't mean that people should suddenly accept his works as flawless masterpieces that can do no wrong. It is perfectly fine to critique one's work out of a place of love, and that's what you do So I hope you don't stop this form of content, you're like my top 2 fave db content creators because of this content (honestly if not for your videos I wouldn't be up to date in any way with super as I would have accepted that people will eat it up regardless of quality and didn't want to be part of that.) At the end of the day it is your decision to make and whatever you decide I hope you feel is truly right. Not related to the above but I've been wanting to say this for a while, I love your music choices for the videos. Whenever I hear a .hack track I get so excited and think "no way, someone else knows that series exists!?"
Personally I believe Gohan had redeemed himself in the Tournament of Power and in the Moro arc. I believe Gohan was done excellently here in my opinion. His character clearly does not have the same battle and martial arts addiction Goku and Vegeta have, and that is perfectly fine; he has always been like this. Despite that, he was still ready to defend his planet and loved ones. They shouldn't have regressed his character in Super Hero; that way the transition to Beast would've been much more justified, given that Gohan already had a pretty good pace in the TOP and Moro arc
@@ThGtKpr Considering all the pallet swap transformations in god, blue, rose, blue evolved, golden freeza, black freeza etc.... I personally think Beast has just the right kind of silly to fit in lmao
Given just how strongly I agree with your tier list, words cannot describe how curious I am to see if the next chapter drops any information or hints at where Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego would stack up and what tier they would be in. Since Toriyama didn't include them in his vision of the story, I have a feeling tier placement for them will be rather flexible and not as concretely defined. Also, the fact that I had to change "Toriyama doesn't" to "Toriyama didn't" just ruined my day.
Wow thanks! Photoshop, use the magic wand tool to isloate certain colours (very easy with a black and white manga) make them a separate layer than do a colour overlay... maybe someday I'll make tutorials for all the stuff I do lol
“he doesn’t like fighting” argument is completely turnt to dust when basically every single manga panel states him to be one of, if not, _the_ strongest mortal in the universe. what an absolute killing of a character. (edit: coulda just made it so that gohan didn’t enjoy fighting but _that_ was his entire deal, he never took it serious enough; you didn’t need to turn him into a pacifist. the cell saga felt like build up to an amazing character arc for gohan but we all know how that went)
Leaving this comment here for the goofy ahhs that will come at you because you're criticizing the story of someone who recently passed just because you like a story or an author doesn't mean you need to dickride them and act like they've never done wrong when it came to writing
Hey man, I really like your videos about Gohan. He was my fave character growing up, but your videos have made me realize the….issues with his writing. Therefore, I’ve been thinking about something, and I’ve finally come to a conclusion that’s made me come to peace with this issue. Hear me out. I’ve been a massive Naruto fan since I was a kid, and…..I’ve gained a new insight as to why I like Naruto, the character, so much despite his issues. Naruto feels like what Gohan could have been under better circumstances. Think about it, Naruto, like Gohan, is a dorky, idealistic, insecure, “prodigal son” who has hidden reserves of power. Like Gohan, he awakens his power through extreme emotions, namely rage. Like Gohan, he must combat his inner demons and deal with his father’s legacy. However, Naruto’s execution works so much freaking better than Gohan’s. Does any of this make sense?
Love this! I personally was never offended by your takes (not someone that feels that way much, really). They can’t get mad at you for havin’ your own ideas, and not having sheep mental, lol. Keep those types of vids coming! Your vids are fire.
Gohan is better than ever now that the writing is competent, and his base personally (ie: when he wears his glasses) is so enjoyable I hope Toyotaro can keep it going
I really enjoy your view on the dragon ball series. I can understanding loving something but points out the flaws. Keep up with your work man. You are awesome
I watched super hero late but from what I heard about beast gohan I originally thought it was bc he snapped like in the cell games but when I actually watched it I was so confused since it was the most random ass pull
tbh i really like the inclusion of true ultra instinct. it implies that there is still much room for goku to grow while also not nerfing mui. I think mui is still gokus strongest form, even in the gas fight, and that he mastered the form completely, but as stated in the manga in certain situations goku can't just turn of his emotions, especially when he's agitated. the fight with gohan is a friendly spar so it makes sense that he can turn of his emotions to tap into mui more easily than against gas
Honestly this is the best case scenario I'd wanted for Gohan. As my second favorite character in the series. Like I get it, he doesn't have the drive or passion to train for the sake of it like Goku and Vegeta. But the least he could do is keep up his training so he doesn't get caught lacking agian...again and so on. For the sake of his friends and his family which has always been a core motivation as a protector. so him struggling to find motivation was always a weird arc for him to have.
I'm looking forward to your future more positive content because I was not a fan of your harsh style and some of the unfortunate comments you said here but you had no idea of knowing Toriyama would be gone so its no big deal
Keep up your grindset, regardless of the Goat's passing. Criticism was ok then and its ok now and many years in the future. Not once have you ever been disrespectful of the man's work and most importantly. You never have been disrespectful towards the man himself. Thats something that few people grasp. Critique towards someone's work is not an attack on the creator himself. Never has been. Toriyama had his strengths and flaws as a writer while being damn near perfect as an artist. If we dont critique and try to look at things objectively. Nothing gets done. If art being subjective was an excuse for poor writing choices and artistic design. Everything would be a masterpiece.
Honestly I also hate how they handle Broly in manga, he isn't really a character, he's more like an animal, Pokemon or something like that, he does have some remnants of personality just enough to be remembered for something more than almost spreading and violating Goku and Vegeta's cheeks but that's simply not nearly enough, I guess this is the price for making a characters with literaly infinite power that constantly grows just by BREATHING canon, writing a character like that and then letting him live is a definition of writing yourself into a corner, and it's very hard to get out of this corner without shit ton of retcons or some actually good writing skills, which neither Toyotaro have or Toriyama had (RIP), I doubt Toyotaro will ever do something about Broly, not without killing him or retconning him to suddenly stop growing stronger out of nowhere and doing nothing
i think i find your critcisms in the earlier video about gohan in the cell arc to be very valid. I never read the moro arc myself, however hearing so many criticism about it make me feel conflicted on bothering to read it myself.
You do make a great point lol i know Toyotaro had to be type frustrated at Toriyama. All the work he had put into making Gohan a relevant player just for Toriyama to completely undermine it all by nerfing Gohan for the eleventeenth time with the same old tired and worn out "slacking off" concept. It made manga Gohan not make sense anymore lol
I honestly think that Beas Gohan was the form that Gohan said that he wanted to achieve since the TOP and that it's meant to be the true final form of Ultimate Gohan. If explained better, I feel like it could be a bit better.
It's actually good to be critical of an entertainment you enjoy because it is your voice, concerns, praises, criticisms, etc. There is nothing wrong with it. I waited to watch because when Toriyama passed, I didn't want to outright share my criticisms right away, I felt that is objectively wrong. I've enjoyed the Dragon Ball series, but once the Buu saga came in, it's more of what fight is next and how to top the previous saga. Regarding Gohan? Toriyama DID actually mistreat him whether fans want to admit it or not. If he didn't think Gohan would work as the strongest character or next main protagonist to surpass Goku, why bother having him to be the one to defeat Cell anyway? That Beast Mode isn't just ass pull, it doesn't really sell a lot of fans into believing that he could surpass his own father. That ass pull is going to be very short-lived. You have to slap away everyone's hand from the retcon button when good progress is building up well, should've been done to Toriyama, but I guess he to doesn't believe in letting others write good arcs, regardless of context.
Toyotarou is better at developing characters because he doesnt have the emotional weight toryama had with dragon ball where the dude just keep Goku in the main spot for far too long, holy shit... let gohan be the main character bro and goku some badass mother fucker that comes from time to time to beat people up like zaraki kempachi.
I don't think the Super manga is gonna end because of Daima. It's probably gonna be an anime only thing, or may not even count as canon possibly. We don't know enough about Daima yet to say.
i think gohan should definitely be shown as a pacifist most of the time considering he genuinely dislikes it which makes sense considering its been a traumatic thing for him his entire life
The news of his passing is sad, but on the bright side of things, Dragon ball might actually be able to have a good story after a long time with him gone.
This isnt redemption this is a disgrace so is super. He has a stupid beast power up that comes from no where not earned and has zero explanation how is that redemption
Yeah, but why do we get hung up on this? I mean people do remember how Master Roshi and so many others with comparitively non-existend powerlevels could fight side by side with Goku and other top tier main-characters against the strongest fighters of a universe. Isn't that like way more implausible. I feel like on a list of "things that don't make sense" beast gohan is not even in the top 20.
Is the issue with Beerus that if he was to easily best Beast Gohan & UI Goku be because the power scaling wouldn't make any sense? But who's to say Beerus doesn't have a transformation/mode of his own?
I would much much rather see a continuation to GT than Daima or Super SPECIALLY after that 100 years later episode at the end of the GT anime, and that movie A Heros Legacy ♥♥♥

I think mui is still gokus strongest form, even in the gas fight, and that he mastered the form completely, but as stated in the manga in certain situations goku can't just turn of his emotions, especially when he's agitated. the fight with gohan is a friendly spar so it makes sense that he can turn of his emotions to tap into mui more easily than against gas
1:54 Is crazy work, out of context 😭😭
Not the right time to post this vid dawg 😭
I always enjoy your content! Great video as always ☺️
Honestly this is the best case scenario I'd wanted for Gohan. As my second favorite character in the series.
Like I get it, he doesn't have the drive or passion to train for the sake of it like Goku and Vegeta. But the least he could do is keep up his training so he doesn't get caught lacking agian...again and so on. For the sake of his friends and his family which has always been a core motivation as a protector. so him struggling to find motivation was always a weird arc for him to have.
Lets hope Toyotaro can live up to his masters legacy.
Love your videos man, your critiques are very valid and your love for the series is clear
0:05 into the video, who is that green character? Is that Cooler? And where did you get that art from? Is this official?
I'm looking forward to your future more positive content because I was not a fan of your harsh style and some of the unfortunate comments you said here but you had no idea of knowing Toriyama would be gone so its no big deal
Nice tribute to Toriyama and I did like newest chapter. Gohan vs Goku was an unexpected surprise
Keep up your grindset, regardless of the Goat's passing. Criticism was ok then and its ok now and many years in the future. Not once have you ever been disrespectful of the man's work and most importantly. You never have been disrespectful towards the man himself.
Thats something that few people grasp. Critique towards someone's work is not an attack on the creator himself. Never has been. Toriyama had his strengths and flaws as a writer while being damn near perfect as an artist. If we dont critique and try to look at things objectively. Nothing gets done. If art being subjective was an excuse for poor writing choices and artistic design. Everything would be a masterpiece.
Honestly I also hate how they handle Broly in manga, he isn't really a character, he's more like an animal, Pokemon or something like that, he does have some remnants of personality just enough to be remembered for something more than almost spreading and violating Goku and Vegeta's cheeks but that's simply not nearly enough, I guess this is the price for making a characters with literaly infinite power that constantly grows just by BREATHING canon, writing a character like that and then letting him live is a definition of writing yourself into a corner, and it's very hard to get out of this corner without shit ton of retcons or some actually good writing skills, which neither Toyotaro have or Toriyama had (RIP), I doubt Toyotaro will ever do something about Broly, not without killing him or retconning him to suddenly stop growing stronger out of nowhere and doing nothing
It’s so joever ♻️ we’re so back
Expect a new video next week too! 🔥
i think i find your critcisms in the earlier video about gohan in the cell arc to be very valid. I never read the moro arc myself, however hearing so many criticism about it make me feel conflicted on bothering to read it myself.
I just realized that broly is just an introverted version of goku
You do make a great point lol i know Toyotaro had to be type frustrated at Toriyama. All the work he had put into making Gohan a relevant player just for Toriyama to completely undermine it all by nerfing Gohan for the eleventeenth time with the same old tired and worn out "slacking off" concept. It made manga Gohan not make sense anymore lol
I honestly think that Beas Gohan was the form that Gohan said that he wanted to achieve since the TOP and that it's meant to be the true final form of Ultimate Gohan. If explained better, I feel like it could be a bit better.
It's actually good to be critical of an entertainment you enjoy because it is your voice, concerns, praises, criticisms, etc. There is nothing wrong with it. I waited to watch because when Toriyama passed, I didn't want to outright share my criticisms right away, I felt that is objectively wrong.
I've enjoyed the Dragon Ball series, but once the Buu saga came in, it's more of what fight is next and how to top the previous saga. Regarding Gohan? Toriyama DID actually mistreat him whether fans want to admit it or not. If he didn't think Gohan would work as the strongest character or next main protagonist to surpass Goku, why bother having him to be the one to defeat Cell anyway? That Beast Mode isn't just ass pull, it doesn't really sell a lot of fans into believing that he could surpass his own father. That ass pull is going to be very short-lived. You have to slap away everyone's hand from the retcon button when good progress is building up well, should've been done to Toriyama, but I guess he to doesn't believe in letting others write good arcs, regardless of context.
I really hope the future of DB is focused on Gohan.
0:19 that's not Dragon Ball Super manga xd. It's just a movie's promotional manga, out of the continuity
Wdym out of the continuity?
Make that asspull Beast video. So many people on DB Twitter thinks it isn’t an asspull
aint no way youre telling me that fusion reborn came out BEFORE I WAS BORN????????
i fr did not realize that dragonball is that old.
Toyotaru is fighting to save gohan
I have to say it even through its overused underrated channel.
Hopefully he stays like this. I didn't have a problem with him being a scholar or fighter. I just didn't like how he kept changing
Beerus was always portrayed above Belmod in a genuine fight.
Toyotarou is better at developing characters because he doesnt have the emotional weight toryama had with dragon ball where the dude just keep Goku in the main spot for far too long, holy shit... let gohan be the main character bro and goku some badass mother fucker that comes from time to time to beat people up like zaraki kempachi.
I don't think the Super manga is gonna end because of Daima. It's probably gonna be an anime only thing, or may not even count as canon possibly. We don't know enough about Daima yet to say.
Now that this Goku vs Gohan battle,( as well as others), and Superhero Epilogue is done, will you do a follow-up video covering the rest of it?
Please don’t give me hope, I hope Gohan keeps on training and becomes more important. Now we just need to see more of Gohan and Goten.
I think ssg goku blocking beast gohans kick looks better
Love your vids Cage this week has just been so sad- Im eagerly anticipating what Toriyama left us with Daima
i think gohan should definitely be shown as a pacifist most of the time considering he genuinely dislikes it which makes sense considering its been a traumatic thing for him his entire life
Thanks Gohan, you killed Dragon Ball Super
No?
No
4:10 yeah but FR is not canon? Vegeta even said he only heard about the metamoran fusion dance from Trunks.
“THIS IS FOR GOHAN!!!!”
This guys always got a sponsor damn son
imo the only way beast can be explained and not be an ass pull if he got it from chichi since his grandpa is the ox king
Broly better end up with two green skinned green haired getting kids, and green saiyans had better be an option next Dragon Ball Online/Xenoverse.
The news of his passing is sad, but on the bright side of things, Dragon ball might actually be able to have a good story after a long time with him gone.
I can't wait for you to explain Gohan beast, genuinely curious
Great video quality like always
What program dod you use to edits ?
“fixed” 💀
Isn’t it a little early for such an analysis like this?
Bro this ain’t no Twitter, chill out
This video aged badly before it was released LMAO love the content still tho bro
A Super Tribute
This isnt redemption this is a disgrace so is super. He has a stupid beast power up that comes from no where not earned and has zero explanation how is that redemption
Let me just be nice for a bit... considering the circumstances.
@@CAGExplains😂😂😂 Yeah your last videos might be looked at unfavourably now. Doesnt make them any less right though.
@@CAGExplains Tell me you didn't watch the video, without telling me you didn't watch the video...
😂
Yeah, but why do we get hung up on this? I mean people do remember how Master Roshi and so many others with comparitively non-existend powerlevels could fight side by side with Goku and other top tier main-characters against the strongest fighters of a universe. Isn't that like way more implausible. I feel like on a list of "things that don't make sense" beast gohan is not even in the top 20.
@@epimetheus8243 Well that's because gohan beast is the newest of toriyamas fuckups. Technically speaking there won't be any of those anymore.
Bro is the biggest toriyama hater ever
Bro W video but did u like the broly movie
Technically, the entire series is an ass-pull.
Don’t get me wrong I agree with a whole bunch in this video, it’s a good video, but there are a few parts that come off in really poor taste lol.
Yeah i aint holding out hope especially since he should've learned this in the cell saga
Is the issue with Beerus that if he was to easily best Beast Gohan & UI Goku be because the power scaling wouldn't make any sense? But who's to say Beerus doesn't have a transformation/mode of his own?
If Beerus could transform he would've done so during that GoD battle royale Zeno exhibition match
I would much much rather see a continuation to GT than Daima or Super
SPECIALLY after that 100 years later episode at the end of the GT anime, and that movie A Heros Legacy ♥♥♥
