Defending Gohan
Gohan is a character from an anime called Dragon Ball Z, He's the son of Goku and Chi-Chi. When we first see Gohan, he's shy, timed and powerful. We only see his full power when his angry. The reason why he's so powerful is because he's half Saiyan and half-human. Knowing this makes you ask why didn't Truck and Goten have trouble controlling their powers? This is what makes this character interesting because he can't fully control his power until the end of the Cell sage. After that, he has gotten soft and this happens again in Dragon Ball GT. Of course, fans are outraged that he slacked off between the Cell and Buu Sage because they thought the creator was going to pass the hero's mental from Goku to Gohan.
I understand why fans are mad with what has happened to this character however they don’t understand this character. Gohan said in the Saiyan saga he doesn't want to be a fighter he wants to be a scholar. Translation, I want to make my mom happy, don’t worry I'll talk about her later. Gohan became a fighter under circumstances, in the Saiyan saga, Gohan became a fighter because Piccolo recruit him because he needs his help to fight the Saiyan. In the Namek and Frieza saga, he helps Bulma and Krillin find the Dragon Balls and he fought Frieza and his forces. A year has passed since that happened and it doesn’t look like Gohan trained in the past year. Gohan did train in the Android and Cell saga because those are threats. Also, keep in mind that Goku promised Chi-Chi that when this is over Gohan can spend the rest of his life studying.

Gohan is not a fighter at heart, even Piccolo and Android 16 addressed this. Also, him being half Saiyan could be a factor because Saiyan loves to fight. So, what can you do with a character who learned how to control his powers? This is why he didn’t train seven years after the cell saga or before GT because he had no reason to train things were peaceful. Even if he didn't stop training, he wouldn't have made much progress. I mean there isn't much he can do to make himself stronger than he already was. So, if you want to blame anyone for why Gohan is the way he is blame Chi-Chi for having him study 24/7. I know education is important however you got to have your kid's best interest in mind. Side note why didn’t Chi-Chi make Goten (Gohan's brother) study? I also blame Goku for not standing up to Chi-Chi on Gohan's behalf. That's all I have to say about this character do you agree or is this bad writing?
