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 the spotlight. Gohan has always had latent potential, which for a long time remained in the background of the anime . However, an intriguing question now arises: can Gohan still achieve a power greater than the Beast form?
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 by rage after believing Piccolo had been killed, he unleashes this form without even being in training mode. In other words, the power came from a brutal emotional impulse—something similar to what happened when he activated Super Saiyan 2 for the first time.
The Beast transformation, also called "Final Gohan" in early drafts, drastically alters his appearance: silver hair, red eyes, and no eyebrows. As revealed, it is a direct evolution of Ultimate Gohan from the Majin Buu Saga. Although uncontrollable at first, Gohan improves his mastery over this form with Piccolo's help.
Can Gohan surpass the Beast form?
Although Beast Mode is considered his current peak, Dragon Ball has always taught us that limits can be surpassed. Gohan tends to break barriers when someone he loves is in danger—his power is fueled by strong emotions, especially anger and despair.
As author Toyotarō progresses with the story, it's likely that new approaches will come into focus. Instead of more transformations, the plot may explore unprecedented fusions—especially after the introduction of the Join Bugs in Dragon Ball Daima .
What can we 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 that this villain surpasses all the Z Warriors—even Beast Gohan—fans speculate that new forms may still emerge. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising to see Gohan break his own limits again.
