So, Toyotaro is finally bring Goku vs Gohan to the manga pages and fans are hyped. Fans have been anticipating this since the release of the Dragon Ball Super Super Hero movie in 2022! Now, the day is near.

What the forms mean

Goku has unlocked the true purpose of Ultra Instinct, at least for him anyways: he gets to fight as hard as he wants, enjoying every moment while ensuring his defense is solid. Gohan has unlocked his Beast mode, where he can finally step in to prevent his master and best friend from dying right in front of him again.

Read on the Dragon Ball fandom site.

This battle is another epic, hyped battle to many action-loving Dragon Ball Super fans. Yet, there's also a layer of personal motives for this battle: Goku desire to keep getting stronger and Gohan's desire to protect all his loved ones.

What this battle means

This is training, too. Goku learns by doing, by actually fighting after all that's how he finally attained Ultra Instinct although in its initial incomplete form. By battling Gohan and being able to go all out Goku is able to discover new possibilities for his Ultra instinct, perhaps hints he might not have gotten by learning under Whis or fighting other opponents.

By battling Goku, Gohan is also able to delve deeper into his rage and feeling of helplessness when tough situations put his loved ones in danger. He also needs to master how to avoid getting intoxicated with his power and remember his desire to protect those he loves.

Goku and Gohan have shown remarkable power, potential and intelligence every time they've battled. In this one on one match where they have to go all out, we'll see not just who wins but also how each of them can grow.

The complete chapter 102

We have been given about 8-pages of a sneak peak into the action unfolding in this month's chapter, but that's just barely a fifth of the whole action.

We will see when Piccolo trained Gohan into mastering the Beast form and reaching it willingly and easily, as well as how Piccolo actually measures up against Gohan's Beast form.

We will also see how Trunks evades a scolding from Vegeta. We'll also probably get to see how Goten responds to his brother and father's unfathomable power and skill. Besides, Broly, Trunks, Vegeta and Lord Beerus' reactions to this epic battle will finally give us a good indication of where future chapters are headed too.

Of course, this battle will also settle Goku's ranking in the Universe 7 hierarchy of strength.

My Prediction


Great coloring from Naoyoshi!
