Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

He's probably REALLY bored. There are a lot of retirees who don't need to work anymore and are completely financially sound and safe, but choose to work because it gives them something to do everyday.

It's a little undermined by the fact that they could've just warped Gohan in there to clown the ever loving poo poo out of Kid Buu.

He's stronger because he trains. Gohan's not a fighter, so despite his innate superior ability he ends up worse overall due to not training.

Well, on that note, there's a question I want to ask: why can Gohan turn Super Saiyan now? Isn't he supposed to be Mystic and at the peak of his potential?

And, for that matter, if he is still Mystic, why didn't he turn Super Saiyan when he started losing to Super Buu? :psyduck:

It's kind of funny that the third strongest being in the universe (innately) is outclassed by the fourth strongest being just because he is too busy studying to train.

Gohan turning Super Sayian might be a case of either Old Kai's magic wearing off, him attempting to get stronger despite the futility of it all, or the writers/animations forgetting super sayian Gohan doesn't work canonically. In reference to to the latter, remember, an entire character vanished simply because Toriyama forgot she existed.

The same answer any other question in Dragonball has: Toriyama didn't care/forgot. Seriously, why do people freak out over this? Not using a very powerful technique or ability, despite it being potentially the key to victory is a time honored Dragonball tradition.

I like world building and speculation as much as the next nerd, but when you try to find narrative coherence for every plot hole in Dragonball, you are on the dangerous pass of taking the entire series way to serious.

He can he just doesn't get stronger since hes at the peak of his potential as you said.

3; Get rid of this goddamn avatar.
There's that part and also that if he doesn't train he'll naturally lose some of his potential. I mean Vegeta even outright states this at the start of the Buu Arc, when he's pretty openly disgusted at Gohan's fight against Dabura, and straight up calls him tremendously weaker.

Gohan goes Super Saiyan now because he hasn't trained and lost the ability to use 'all of his potential' and he's getting it part of it back through transforming. If he trained rigorously like his father and Vegeta he'd probably quickly or at least eventually reach the level of 'Super Saiyan isn't worthwhile to use' again. I mean it even looks like that's where Goku and Vegeta are heading to.

They're voices are embedded in my brain nearly as much as the original Funimation dub, too. Freeza's definitely. No voice for Freeza sounds as right as LK. In some cases they're nearly identical anyway.
I find that for all TFS stuff except Hellsing abridged, but that's mainly because Hellsing Ultimate is already an abridged version of itself. I mean I love Takahata, but he can't really one up Crispin as Alucard

He was getting his rear end kicked by Gobuu, until the fusion wore off.

Also Mystic is what he is called after the Old Kai powerup.

It is used in all forms of media I have seen, like games and such.
