The king himself
Gohan finally regained his mystic state and it’s possible that he can overcome even more his current limits, putting himself at the level of a super saiyan blue and maybe becoming a super saiyan blue himself but…
What if he becomes a super saiyan 4? yeah… I know that Gt isn’t canon, but I always liked this transformation and I’m not talking just about design, the big problem is that Gohan doesn’t have tail anymore but a while ago I tried to think of a way to make canon this transformation, I think this transformation should be called “Super Saiyan Primal” and could be achieved only by channeling all the Ōzaru power within each saiyan (like Goku when he attacked King Piccolo and also during his Super saiyan 3 transformation), making a super saiyan more savage, with more raw power and with some other differences compared to the Super Saiyan God (in my opinión only pure saiyans should be able to achieved that transformation)
You know… they are making Broly canon with some changes, I would love to see the super saiyan 4 become canon too, what do you think?
First of all I want to say that I used to be a fan of Yamcha… yeah, USED! because the current version is just a joke, a character used only for humorous purposes and in a bad way if we consider that is at his expense, I used to be fan of the Old Yamcha, back when Dragon Ball was a little more about adventures than about defeating the powerful villain of the week, at that time we met Yamcha… a badass bandit and the first “Z-fighter” to fight Goku, a character with cool design, a sword, with a cat companion before cats were popular, with interesting motivations and traits (gynophobia) and with the most epic melee technique in the history of Dragon Ball… Rōgafūfūken(Wolf Fang Fist)
Then he met Bulma, overcame his fear and abandoned his old life (and weapons) to become… Bulma’s boyfriend, from that moment that was his unique contribution to the history of Dragon Ball, his role! of course he kept training but in his own way, not going to train with Master Roshi the first time he met him was a big mistake because the difference of powers between him and Goku increased a lot, Krillin became the new “rival of power” in Goku’s life, during the tournament Yamcha had the bad luck to face Jackie Chun/Roshi in his first fight, something that would be repeated in following tournament so we could say that he was cannon fodder to face the most powerful (Jackie Chun/Roshi, Tenshinhan) or mysterious character (Shen/Kami) of the moment… everything changed in the fight against the Invisible Man (maybe the greatest fight triumph in the life of Yamcha) and Bandages the Mummy, this last fight was very good, seriously, Yamcha demonstrated all his skill like fighter and his ingenuity, but it wasn’t enough… it was time to train with Roshi!
Oh yeah, it’s time for the next tournament… Yamcha advanced a lot, I dare to say that he was even stronger than Krillin but that is my personal opinion, his fight was very good overall, but unfortunately it was against Tenshinhan, the “villain” of the tournament aka the strongest after Goku, the outcome of the fight was humiliating for him, but had an achievement in the middle… Yamcha became the 4th character to learn and use the Kamehameha(Roshi, Grandpa Gohan, Goku), after the tournament we could have had some cool development because he thought he was the only surviving warrior and therefore the only one who could stop King Piccolo but his broken leg prevented his participation in the conflict and that definitely saved his life, we could consider as an achievement survived the attack of Tambourine but it was just a matter of luck.
Thanks to his training with Karin, he returned to the next tournament with great new techniques and a great haircut… unfortunately he faced the mysterious Shen (who was Kami in "disguise”) but that didn’t prevent him from showing us another great technique that unfortunately we haven’t seen enough… Sōkidan (Spirit Ball), after this tournament his next big fight would be the cause of years of bullying and jokes against him and his ability to fight, in other words… a meme!
Behold…Yamcha’s Death Pose! yeah, the fight that truly ruined Yamcha’s fighter career but let’s be honest, he wouldn’t be what he is if it not were for this fight, for this image of him! and let’s be even more honest, it wasn’t his inability to fight what made him lose but underestimate the enemy, another case of him being used as cannon fodder, because although Tenshinhan was the first to fight against a Saibamen… nobody knew about their ability to self-destruct, anyway! after that we didn’t have moments of Yamcha fighting (except the filler episode where he defeats Recoome) but he was still Bulma’s boyfriend and therefore an important secondary character of Dragon Ball, but everything changed when the “Badman” attacked…
When Vegeta entered Bulma’s life and pregnant her in few months (damn!), Yamcha was without a purpose… that happens when you’re a bad boyfriend, although Vegeta wasn’t a good husband and father neither if we consider that he practically left his family to go to train in space and when returned he didn’t care if Dr. Gero kills them or not… but well, I already talked about this and the great development for good that Vegeta had over the years, talking about Gero, Yamcha become his first Z-Fighter victim (another case of cannon fodder lol) and then he became even more a support character than a fighter, participating in the fight against the Cell Jr only because there was no other option, another humiliating defeat but let’s be honest, except Gohan the only one who fought well against them was Piccolo! during the Majin Buu Saga his participation was more than null, highlighting his fight against Olibu but as it was a filler episode with even more filler characters, well…
His next great “feat” was be the first non-saiyan to hit Beerus although he didn’t participate in the fight, then he wasn’t considered to fight against Frieza soldiers, but for some stupid and inconsistent reason Master Roshi was able to fight them, you know, that character that was less powerful than Yamcha, Chiaotzu and even Yajirobe… anyway! his non-participation in the Tournament of Power doesn’t annoy me if we consider that techniques and strategies are almost as important as the power, in that Master Roshi is much superior to Yamcha and I dare to say to all the Z-Fighters, although to be honest, would have been a great opportunity to “Make Yamcha G̶r̶e̶a̶t̶ Average Again” I mean…
Don’t tell me that wouldn’t have been awesome see Yamcha with his Wolf Fang Fist alongside Tenshinhan and Krillin in the Boogie Back Ending! but well, they chose go “full joke“ with him and now he’s waiting for Goku to recruit him, maybe Yamcha finally found his role in Dragon Ball, a role he lost when he stopped being Bulma’s boyfriend… I don’t know, anyway, in conclusion, Yamcha is a joke? yes! he was always a joke? no! he was a loser, but never a joke! it’s internet fault? a little but it doesn’t matter anymore because I doubt Yamcha can once again become an important warrior unless… you know what would be cool and crazy? that a new enemy appears on Earth during the tournament and only Yamcha can stop him because Goten and Trunks can’t leave the Island of Android 17, then everyone returns and no one knows of the heroic struggle of Yamcha against the new force of evil :P not a great idea, but would be hilarious xD
An unpopular theory… what if Vegeta is a little disappointed because his second child is a woman and then he sees what the Fembroly is capable of during the tournament?
I can’t wait for the fusion between Mirai Trunks and Mirai Trunks :P and the orgy, of course!
Some people, who probably hate Gohan, are saying that he will be eliminated in the next episode just for the title “Gohan’s last stand”, sorry but that doesn’t mean anything yet and maybe we should wait for the spoilers to draw more conclusions, but I think this is what will happen…
Yeah, Gohan and Frieza are in trouble, they can’t hit Dyspo thanks to his super speed (something that combined with his great power put Hit and Goku SSG/SSB in a bind before), eliminating Dyspo is essential if they want Frieza’s help against Toppo and this is where Gohan’s plan gets under way…
As you can clearly see in the images, Gohan’s plan is to catch Dyspo in a “cage“ made of Frieza’s Death Beam, that will serve to counteract Dyspo’s super speed because it will limit his movements but will also put Gohan in a hard place, now he can’t escape or receive help, it’s a one on one fight where only the best will win and I’m sure will be Gohan, this risky strategy used by Gohan is the reason why the episode is called “Gohan’s last stand“, IMO.
And yeah! let’s not forget Frieza’s possible betrayal, but it will not be in next episode, he will wait… but Gohan knows that, can’t wait for the rematch!
•Episode 124: for now we know that Gohan will help Frieza, maybe because him and 17 need his helps against Toppo, but what Gohan doesn’t know is that Frieza apparently makes a deal with Dyspo, something surprising because I doubt that Toppo and Jiren approve that kind of deal with a supervillain but well, I’m sure Frieza will betray U7 but not now, he will wait and help Gohan, together they will defeat Dyspo.
•Episode 125: We know that this episode is about Toppo, it’s very likely that he will becomes a God or releases all his hidden power, in this episode I think he will eliminate 17 and kick the asses of Gohan and Frieza, they will be saved by Vegeta and we will have the rematch, Vegeta with his new power and Toppo as God of Destruction.
•Episode 126: We know that this episode is about Vegeta and that his power will be “superior” to that of a God, considering that the previous episode is about Toppo releasing all his God power, I think the fight is between them, I’m 70% sure that Toppo and Vegeta will eliminate each other in this episode or in 127, in the other 30% I think a really tired Vegeta will defeat Toppo but will be eliminated by a treacherous attack by Frieza.
•Episode 127 or 128 and onwards: We know nothing about episode 127 onwards, we don’t have spoilers yet, but I’m sure the final 3 U7 warriors will be…
and Frieza, knowing that Jiren is too OP, will help U11, as I said before, maybe his betrayal begins by eliminating Vegeta or maybe by attacking Gohan, something sad because it would end one of the best new “friendships” of Dragon Ball…
but at least we will have a true rematch after 100 episodes, I still remember when Frieza humiliated Gohan, I hope Gohan kick his ass now.
Now the question is… how would Jiren react to seeing a betrayal? one of the greatest acts of evil! he will be fine with this? he will eliminate Frieza? I don’t know, I guess we should wait and see.
As a fan of Gohan I have the theory and the hope that Gohan is the one who defeat Jiren, I think Frieza is part of Goku’s plan to awaken the true power of Gohan, just think about it! Jiren is a good guy, if he win I’m sure he will revive U7 and the other erased universes, not to mention that if Zeno erase universe 7 it would be an instant “death” for Videl and Pan, if Frieza wins, U7 will survive but Frieza’s wish will only bring death and chaos, I think Frieza could be the spark that ignites Gohan’s anger, with enough raw power to defeat Jiren, but I know this is Goku and Vegeta show so… there aren’t many chances :(
Also, another thing… I think Gohan is the one who most deserves the Super Dragon Ball’s wish! maybe he didn’t eliminate a lot of warriors, maybe he was saved a lot of times, maybe he isn’t the strongest, but let’s see the other 4 U7 members:
-17 wants a fucking boat, something that he can wish with the normal Dragon Balls.
-Vegeta wants to revive only U6.
-Frieza wants something evil, interesting but evil.
-Goku is an idiot, he will waste the wish… maybe he wants to revive U6, maybe he wants to finally revive Kaiosama (King Kai), maybe he wants to meet another strong warrior but I’m sure it will be something stupid.
I think Gohan will use his wish to revive all the erased universes, like a true hero, then all those beings will be redistributed among the 5 universes and everyone happy.
