'Dragon Ball Super' Manga Series Trends Again Amid Rumors of Imminent Return

Dragon Ball Super Fans Eager for Gohan's Beast Mode Evolution

Gohan’s Beast Mode Transformation and Its Potential as the Ultimate Hero of the Series

The Dragon Ball Super manga series has recently become a trending topic among anime fans once again, thanks to rumors about its imminent return. Following the release of its special one-shot, which served as an homage to Gohan and his superhero persona, fans are eagerly awaiting what happens next.

Impactful Revelations in Chapter #103: The Nature of Gohan’s Beast Mode

While nothing about the return of the series has been confirmed, the information already available to fans continues to reveal more about future events. One of these impactful revelations can be found in chapter #103, during which the nature of Gohan’s Beast Mode was explained. This small but significant detail might have already revealed who will be the ultimate hero of the series, and it is not Goku.

Gohan’s Beast Mode Can Become Far Stronger: Potential to Break Limits

Introduced during the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film, the latest entry in the franchise’s long list of movies, Gohan Beast is the half-Saiyan’s most powerful transformation. This form, implied to be a direct evolution of his Ultimate state, unleashes the hidden potential inside the warrior, giving them a power comparable to that of a deity.

According to Piccolo, after Gohan unlocked this technique, he became just as powerful as Goku and Vegeta, who have been using divine Ki for several years. Still, the series might have implied that the Beast Mode is still not at max power.

Gohan’s Potential to Become Frieza’s Final Opponent

Ever since he was introduced in chapter #87 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, Black Frieza has been hyped as the ultimate opponent for the heroes.

While not yet confirmed, the series heavily implied that, thanks to this new form, the Galactic Emperor had become the strongest villain ever, capable of defeating Goku and Vegeta at full power without breaking a sweat.

If the Z Warriors want to defeat this imposing enemy, they might need someone with a power beyond their imagination, such as a rampaging Gohan.

The Rise of Gohan as the Series’ Main Focus and Potential Successor

Although Goku is without a doubt the most iconic Dragon Ball character of all time, the manga series has been focusing on Gohan and his story lately.

Beginning with the Super Hero arc, Kakarot’s son has been seen as the main hero and protector of Earth, ready to defend the planet even when his father is away.

His fight against Cell Max was more than just a loving tribute to one of the franchise’s best arcs; it also served to let fans know that Goku and Vegeta were no longer the most powerful Saiyans.

The recently published special chapter confirmed this theory, by making sure fans would see Gohan as the series’ true superhero. The story of this short entry perfectly exemplifies how his bravery, kindness, and selflessness make him an inspiration to those around him.

Gohan being the one to save the universe from the most heinous villain ever seems like a reasonable ending to his character arc. This way, the manga could fulfill one of Akira Toriyama’s wishes, replacing Goku with Gohan as the new protagonist.
