Dragon Ball franchise is always at the center of anime discussions due to Goku and Vegeta’s immense powers. There is seldom any debate about the power levels of the Dragon Ball characters except when Goku and Vegeta’s power levels are compared. But after the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie, a new transformation of Gohan put him back into comparison with Goku. Fans are even saying that Gohan’s latest form is the strongest in the Dragon Ball franchise, even surpassing Goku’s Ultra Instinct.

While many fans agree with the fact that Gohan can now defeat his father, others think that it was a publicity stunt by Toriyama to promote the movie. Goku has trained all his life. He currently trains with the Gods. On the other hand, Gohan left all of his training after the fight with Majin Buu. When Frieza came to Earth in Dragon Ball Super, Gohan was quite weak. So, a sudden burst of energy and a new transformation might not be enough to defeat Goku.

Gohan had a hard time with Cell Max. After his transformation, he withstood every blow and defeated Cell Max without breaking a sweat. After Super Saiyan 2 and Mystic Gohan, this is Gohan’s first transformation, while Goku underwent several transformations. Ultra Instinct is a technique of the Gods, so it is unlikely that he will be overpowered that easily. Beast Gohan might give Goku a hard time, but he still has a long way to go before he defeats Goku in a serious battle.

The movie features Cell Max as the main villain. Gohan and Piccolo were overwhelmed by his immense power. But things changed when Cell Max killed Piccolo. Seeing this, Gohan went into a rage mode. He transforms into Beast Gohan. Due to Old Kai unlocking his true potential using his Unlock Ability, Gohan was able to awaken the beast within him. This beast unlocking was confirmed by Akira Toriyama.

Beast Gohan, also known as Final Gohan, has greyish-white spiky hair (typical Super Saiyan hairstyle), with one bang falling over his face. He is surrounded by an aura of white, pink, purple, and blue. While transforming, his pupil vanished, and his eyes flashed. Final Gohan has a red iris and black pupils. He has a serious yet confident face, just like his face during his fight against Perfect Cell in Dragon Ball Z.

Can Gohan Defeat Goku With The New Transformation?

Saiyans transform only when they are in a fit of rage. The rage inside Gohan pushed him to his limits and maxed out his potential. After the new transformation, many are arguing that this might be the strongest form in the Dragon Ball franchise. The creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, confirmed that Gohan’s Beast mode is currently the strongest. Even Piccolo admitted that this was the strongest transformation while the transformation was still ongoing.
