Since its reveal in the 2022 film Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Gohan 's Beast form has sparked fan excitement by finally giving the character a spotlight. Gohan has always had latent potential, which for a long time was overlooked in the anime . However, an intriguing question now arises: can Gohan still reach a power greater than that of the Beast?
See how Gohan achieved the Beast transformation
In the canonical feature film supervised by Akira Toriyama at the time, Gohan awakens Beast Mode during an intense battle against Cell Max . Overcome with rage at the thought of Piccolo's death, he unleashes this form without even training. In other words, the power came from a brutal emotional impulse—similar to what happened when he first Super Saiyan 2
The Beast transformation, also called "Final Gohan" in early drafts, drastically alters his appearance: silver hair, red eyes, and no eyebrows. As revealed, it's a direct evolution of Ultimate Gohan from the Majin Buu Saga. Although uncontrollable at first, Gohan hones his mastery of this form with Piccolo's help.
Can Gohan go beyond Beast?
While Beast Mode is considered his current peak, Dragon Ball has always taught us that limits can be overcome. Gohan tends to break barriers when someone he loves is in danger—his power is driven by strong emotions, especially anger and despair.
As author Toyotarō progresses with the story, new approaches are likely to gain focus. Instead of more transformations, the plot may explore new fusions—especially after the introduction of Join Bugs in Dragon Ball Daima .
What to expect from Gohan's future?
Dragon Ball Super has been on hiatus since March 2024, following Toriyama's passing. However, Toyotaro confirmed that the highly anticipated Black Frieza will be next. Considering this villain surpasses all the Z Warriors—even Beast Gohan—fans speculate that new forms may yet emerge. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising to see Gohan break his own limits again.
