Or was he Ultimate all the time during the BoG Arc in DBS?

It's hard to say.

He should logically be in Mystic at all times going by the original manga, but it seems that he only went Mystic when he powered to fight Birus in the movie; I mean, we see that Gohan doesn't have a bang until he goes to fight Birus, so perhaps the bang was supposed to indicate that he went Mystic. But then again, he has a bang right before powering up, so I dunno. Note that Gohan originally wasn't Mystic in the movie at all; he went Super Saiyan to fight Birus in the trailer.

We see in DBS's first opening that Gohan's bang comes down when he powers up in Mystic; that might imply he only goes Mystic when he powers up to fight. Weirdly, he doesn't have a bang when he fights Birus in the show.

Take these images from Episode 7.

Some are of Gohan before he does that power-up and some after he does that power-up.

Would you say that before that power-up, it was in Base state and that after power-up it was in Ultimate state?

What do you think?

The model sheet says that he only turns Mystic when he powers up.

No. He powered up into his ultimate form. In the anime he has base, SSJ, SSJ2 and Ultimate form. In the manga his base and Ultimate form seem to be mutually exclusive.

From what I remember, Gohan was definitely in his base state at the start of DBS during the Battle of Gods arc. He had become rusty with his training and lost his Ultimate form. He had to train again later on to unlock his potential again.

So in the Anime, Gohan was in Base state and transformed into Ultimate. However, in the Manga, Gohan was in Ultimate state at all times. Both from Arc BoG.

In the Anime the Ultimate state is a transformation, while in the Manga it is its only form.

Only in the Arc DBS Hero Manga, the Ultimate state was a transformation.

What are you saying?
