Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero He gave Gohan the spot he deserves, thanks to his beast mode transformation. An immense power hidden deep within him emulated the old battle against Cell in Dragon Ball Z and thus awakened a new level of power that equals him with Goku and Vegeta.
On the new transformation of Gohan there is a diversity of opinions. There are those who find it difficult to find a logic to the new mode since it was introduced without prior explanation. However, that is a detail that we already explained to you in a review that we share with you once again, in case you want to take a look at it.
The same young Saiyan revealed during the last arc of Dragon Ball Super that he was working on a new form far removed from his father’s. And Akira Toriyama himself pointed out that this transformation is born from the deepest origin in Gohan’s power, that inside him he has trapped a beast that he has already managed to unleash.
So let’s not get bogged down in a situation that is coldly calculated by Toriyama Sensei. Let’s see part of his testimony regarding the design of Beast Gohan, which he shared as soon as the film came out in Japan and which we present to you below, thanks to a review by Hobby Consoles.
Beast Gohan’s design
“For the design, I tried to draw him with a scary face and pale skin, but somehow he didn’t look like Gohan, so I went with the typical bushy hair. It worked well and everyone said that it was very amazing, which I appreciated. Frankly, I don’t know what design to do anymore if I make it transform more (laughs),” said Akira Toriyama.
As for the logic of the transformation, Toriyama mentions, “Gohan had some transformations in the past, but this time he needed to awaken a new one. He has achieved his own unique evolution based on the unlocked awakenings he had as a child. In fact, I have called this transformation ‘Gohan Beast’, in reference to the beast that lies inside him, which he has awakened.
