Warning: Contains Spoilers for Dragon Ball Super #101By showing that Gohan can invoke his Beast Form at will, Dragon Ball Super confirms he will play a major role going forward. After Gohan has been sidelined for most of Super, the half-Saiyan returned to the spotlight with his strongest transformation in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.
Following Pan’s abduction, Piccolo’s supposed death triggers Gohan to awaken his Beast Form and defeat Cell Max. This allows him to once again surpass Goku and Vegeta to become the strongest Z-Fighter in the series.
In the aftermath of the battle, the hero proves his new form is permanent when he effortlessly transforms in Dragon Ball Super #101 upon seeing Carmine, thinking the villain will harm his daughter.

Dragon Ball Super teases that the true power of Black Frieza may be even higher than what fans believe after his impressive debut.
Gohan Casually Using Beast Means Super Needs to Put Him in Major Battles
While he lacks Goku’s passion for fighting strong opponents, Gohan is motivated by a determination to keep his loved ones safe from danger. Piccolo, who believes his former student has the potential to be stronger than Goku, says that Gohan usually prefers not to fight and will only do so when required. It’s shown many times throughout the series how the young hero’s emotional nature gives him an edge in battle.
When Gohan summons his Beast Form for the second time, he proves how dangerous he has become. His overwhelmingly powerful Ki is sensed by Goku and Vegeta all the way from Beerus’ planet. The half-Saiyan can also easily command his new form without training, demonstrating that even in Beast form Gohan has excellent control over his emotions. It should be noted that even Goku has to train extensively to gain command over his transformations. With these impressive new abilities, Gohan is sure to play a key role in defending Earth against future threats.
Gohan Beast Makes Him More Dangerous Than Ever Before
Gohan’s recent transformation is a culmination of his fighting spirit, which stems from a strong desire to protect others. With Black Frieza’s return on the horizon, Goku and Vegeta’s combined powers may not be enough to stop the villain, who previously demolished them with one blow. Now that Gohan has unleashed his Beast Form, the half-Saiyan will likely play a pivotal role in the upcoming fight as well as in Dragon Ball Super‘s overall story.
The Dragon Ball Super manga is available from MANGA Plus and Viz Media. The anime is available on Crunchyroll.
