It is clear that the franchise dragon ball he’s earned the special position where he’s at, and it’s that he’s been around for decades to get to this point, so his characters have been through some of that time, that’s how fans have seen him Goku going from being a little kid to a grandpa, and that’s not even the biggest change the Saiyan has experienced.
Now, the same could be said about Gohanwho we have seen since birth and who has had a wild life, with ups and downs, which is why many of the fans of the franchise probably did not agree with his post-Cell lifestyle, that’s why , that the cast behind Dragon Ball Super they are rising up to defend the child and their decisions.
And it is that, during a recent interview the cast of Dragon Ball Super: Super Herospoke before the release of the film, and it was there that Gohan came up on the subject, as, when asked about the Saiyan, Piccolo’s English voice actor, Christopher Sabatsaid that he is quite proud that Gohan chose his own path instead of being pressured to follow in his father’s footsteps:
“Gohan has always been the one he wants to be, a scholar and he wants to study and everyone keeps asking him to stop studying so much. Everyone wants him to fight, even the fans. And sometimes I wonder if Gohan is some kind of weird metaphor for him.” Akira Toriyama himself, because he loves to do funny things”Sabbath shared.
“He likes to be light-hearted and fun, and fans of the show tell him, ‘Fight more, fight more. I want more explosions,’ which is why I wonder if he put a little bit of himself into that Gohan character, because Gohan just he’s trying to be himself in a world where everyone else is doing something different. As much as I love seeing Gohan doing the amazing things everyone does, I like the fact that he’s dedicated to his studies. a good example of doing what your heart wants you to do instead of what others want you to do.
Of course, Gohan’s actor agreed, and Kyle Herbert He said that the Saiyan still had to overcome his own obstacles to become a scholar, although they were not as bloody as Goku would have liked, and that in the end, those tests made Gohan the husband and father that we have seen, and the The anime’s new movie has given Gohan a chance to prove that he still has the ability to kick some butt.
“There have been various obstacles over the years. I’m not saying obstacles necessarily, but new life adventures which of course made Gohan grow up and become a better person. But in a show like Dragon Ball, you want to see it in the way he brought it when he was a little boy. We want to close the circle and now we have the opportunity to do it.”Herbert shared.
