So maybe after this he at least part time trains, I don't see him giving up what he loves (scholar) totally but more so then what he had been. I hope so! | ||

Okay, so I went and read the wikia on DBS and God of Creation are the Supreme Kais. They are noticeably weaker than GoDs, but they have that power to create. I think Gohan, with his Saiyan biology and already unlimited potential to reach new heights, becomes a Zamasu-type figure in DBS through training. He goes further because of Goku and Vegeta (plus any other person/threat they happen to fight) and stands above them. I am also guessing that Grand Priest sees something and wants to train him, as he is the strongest fighter in the entire multiverse (according to the wikia). Granted, this all depends on the writers. | ||

Hanging with and being even are totally different, but Goku had no choice but to respond by going to his max. Gohan wanted Goku at his best and Goku gave it to him. He thought SSB was good enough, and Gohan showed that it wasn't. He could have continued to fight Goku on "equal" ground. When Goku hit SSBK, he showed how far ahead he was. I think Gohan could go blow for blow with Goku in SSB. Okay, so I went and read the wikia on DBS and God of Creation are the Supreme Kais.

I agree with this, Goku matching his power level to his sparring partners has been my interpretation. This is the only way the fight vs. Krillin makes sense to me. I am telling myself that Goku needs to fine tune his power control in order to maximize output while not killing his opponent as per tournament rules. | ||

But he's never held back when it comes to Gohan. Like he did in the time chamber. He was going toe to toe with Gohan when they fought recently He also went toe to toe with Toppo before body slamming him. I don't think Mystic Gohan is on par with SSB, but I do think people are underestimating how far ahead Gohan was in the Buu saga. Goku and Vegeta had serrrrrious catching up to do and I think the idea of or Mystic Gohan being ~20% weaker than SSB sounds reasonable. The way I see it: 1. Goku 2. Vegeta (though I think it's possible we see Vegeta finally be the first to a power up this arc) 3. Freeza 4. Adroid 17 5.

As for 17, I think it's complete bs that he's said to be strong enough to rival Goku (implied somewhat in that one episode). I would say Gohan is the fourth strongest member of the current team and should also be able to dominate U6's saiyans including Kale though I can see her being a match at least. No way Caulifa or Cabba can do anything tbh, SSJ2 won't cut it with the top fighters in this tourney. What about Freeza? Freeza's whole shpeal is that he's never had to train and the power that he had when first fighting Goku was purely talent and genetics. Based on this, we can believe Freeza's race's genetics totally outclass Saiyan in terms of "talent" of sorts. 17 and 18 are humans with extreme biological modification. The one weird caveat to this is the fact that their power isn't detectable by normal means. I'm probably going a little too far with this, but I can't help but wonder about the fact that god ki can't be detected either. 17 and 18 are not mechanical. They bleed and the lore surrounding them is that Dr. Gero used technology to improve biology rather than making a machine. Based on how superior Freeza is, I am comfortable with the idea that 17 going all out and training nonstop for like 10 years could have amazing results. | ||

I have to say, if Gohan is going to be back to being useful, now is the time. Goku made him the leader of the group. The tournament is supposed to need strategy, not just brute strength. It's been hinted that Goku and Vegeta are probably going to do something stupid because of their lack of strategic sense. If the writers can actually highlight the strategy they keep talking about instead of making it a series of one on one battles, Gohan should be in the best place to do something. | ||

17 being SSB is bullshit. Fighting normal human poachers shouldn't be that big of a boost in training. There's no way he got that strong in 10 years doing that. I think the writers just made some shit up so they could fill the roster. | ||

Piccolo and jiren train without partners. | ||

Then I hope at some point we get some clarification on 17's training. Because as it stands, his power level increase to rival SSB is bullshit. If that's the case, Piccolo should be able to force Goku to SSB without breaking a sweat. See how this becomes a slippery slope? | ||
