When the world is at the blink of extinction, Gohan will save us.


Alright, It is now Sunday (with the exception of it being midnight). I've yet to fully blog for two days. The original entry of this date said I would continue to finish this entry later on and here I am fulfilling my promise. It's pretty obvious what I'm going to talk about in this entry. It's no question asking anybody whos anybody if they know about DragonBall Z. Like, seriously you must be an idiot to ask that. For those who don't know, where the hell have you been? DragonBall Z is probably the BIGGEST and MOST POPULAR anime in the world, over 20 years and they're still making marketing the series? That's how big they are.

DragonBall Z is the series that continues on with the storyline of its predecessor DragonBall. The main character is Goku. In DragonBall Z he has a son named Gohan and Gohan kicks ass while keeping it academic at the same time. Gohan is probably the most adored character in the series (I truly admire him aswell). You're probably asking why I'm writing about Gohan and not a character like Goku, or the bad ass Vegeta. Well, few nights ago I was watching the final episodes of the Cell Saga and Gohan was in Super Saiyan 2 kicking Cell's ass! Gohan had so much put on his shoulders at such a young age, hes been through some great development and growth durin the story, it's too bad it wasn't him who saved the world once again in the Buu saga. Initially he was suppose to, but fans wanted Goku back in the spotlight and Akira had to do what he had to do. What's even worse is that in DragonBall GT they totally downgraded Gohan's competency \=
Gohan has always been my favourite character from day one.

I always felt as if Gohan was like me sugarcoated and fabricated ficational twin or something. One because of his mom's (Chi Chi) emphasis on education and always forcing him to study (like my mom). Two he's an older brother (as am I). Three he kicks ass (and so do I). Truthfully, I kinda like Gohan before he grew up. We only get two see Super Saiyan 2 Gohan for like a few episodes (and with an exception to a movie). But boy were they worth it. After Cell saga never again was SSJ2 Gohan seen again, in the Buu saga he achieved some form called "Mystic Gohan". LIKE COME ON! HIS HAIR DIDN'T EVEN GO YELLOW!

When I was watching those episodes I was jumping up and down yelling "KICK HIS ASS GOHAN, FUCK THAT GREEN SHIT UP!" Man it feels good being a little kid. Never had I been so excited watching a show before (since I was a kid of course). Feels good being able to relive a childhood moment, a feeling I'd hope to experience more often. I might just even to attpemt to write a song dedicated to the big boy.



To Gohan my favourite superhero, you are a true warrior.
