Most of the time yes, yet with Tien's attacks he could literally drain his chi to zero but his power output will be exponential.
It's dragon ball, it's all silliness.
I agree. Franchise reboot with a concentration on drama and power scaling consistency.
No one watches for the jokes (they suck) or the romance (wait I may be wrong Solodolo and my wife thinks Gohan's high school years are a masterpiece) but it's not like that stuff can't be wedges in between...
They should've promised "Pokemon Go Gold and Silver", wait three years to translate it, and force us to play "Pokemon Go Snap" and "Pokemon Go Stadium" (Pokemon Go Stadium 2 in Japan) in the meantime.
Gohan is my favorite character in the series so I'll never say he was wasted.
Misused? Of course. The Buu saga is a bunch of what ifs, woulda, coulda, shoulda. I don't think Gohan would feel as degraded if it weren't for Dragon Ball Goku Time. It didn't help that the movies and Super only...
In my head canon, mecha Frieza is actually weaker than his organic form, making his quest to Earth a complete act of delusion. That's surely what it looked like on first impression.
