Additionally, it appears to lack any drawbacks entirely, as the state only draws out Gohan's own potential and nothing more. In the anime, however, Gohan was able to briefly fight the transformed Majin until his powers began to wane. When Majin Boo would later go on to absorb Gotenks and combine his Super Saiyan 3 power with his own in battle, however, Gohan was completely dominated. Gohan effortlessly dominated Majin Boo, a creature that even Gotenks could only match when using his Super Saiyan 3 form, showing Ultimate Gohan's complete superiority over the final Super Saiyan form. In terms of outright strength, Gohan's Ultimate state appears to be vastly superior to the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, though by how much is unclear. Just releasing his ki was enough to shock Gokū, who was well above Gohan in terms of power before the transformation occurred.Ī powered-up Gohan effortlessly dominates Majin Boo. In the anime, upon powering up on the Kaiōshin Realm, Gohan's power was enough to cause the planet - stated to be a very durable planet, unlike standard ones found in the living world - to tremble, creating something akin to a miniature storm.

It's not as though he has to transform. You ain't even Super Saiyan, yet you've come to this extreme!" Attributes “īy looking at you, you haven't changed that much. The change itself was so drastic that Piccolo originally believed it wasn't Gohan, but someone entirely different. Piccolo, who had known Gohan since he was a child, could feel the difference in his attitude by simply the vibe Gohan was giving off when the Saiyan arrived to confront Majin Boo. During the fight, Gohan showed a joy in taunting Majin Boo's own powerlessness, mocking the Majin's inability to land a blow on him, and it was only when the tables were turned that Gohan's confidence shattered. When transformed, Gohan was self-assured in his ability to defeat the fused evil Majin Boo, declaring to the Majin that he hadn't arrived to fight Boo, but he had arrived to kill him. While in this state, Gohan exhibits the confidence and arrogance, as well as a seriousness, that typically comes with a new leap in power.
