@SaiyaJedi:
Gohan quit fighting to focus on his studies years ago, and Yamcha stopped training even before the Buu arc.
I'm not sure why this is a surprise to anyone. We did read the same series, did we not?
(Also, I'm sure it was the right decision to banish Goten and Trunks from the battlefield. Even apart from their uncanny resemblance to the ones Freeza is seeking vengeance on, they're probably in full-on angsty self-absorbed teenager mode by now. Gotenks would go off to sulk instead of fight.)
I'm sure we're all half-jesting by now, but still. . .Yamcha is deemed by Tenshinhan (friggin Tenshinhan. . .) to be too weak to be of use, and is left behind with Chaotzu. So they don't die, of course. Roshi appears, goes to the Kami tower, brings senzu beans, fights some Freeza underlings. . .Roshi. Master Roshi.
C'mon, that's just friggin hilarious.
As for Gohan, I assumed after being super ultra definitely this time it's for real no really I mean it potential untapped for life, to the point he became stronger than a SS3 without doing jackshit to achieve that form (well, yeah, he sat around for half a day), I thought, let's go the extra mile and have that potential be untapped for the rest of his life. We know he doesn't train, but 1- using the SAME scenario as before, Gohan doesn't train now he's the weakest saiyan bla bla bla is a bit weak narrative wise, and 2- If you get your FULL power that's dormant inside of you unlocked so you can tap into it anytime, anywhere, anyhow, I'd expect that power up, as unfair and undeserved as it was, to be just THAT broken instead of "oh, but if you don't train during the next…¿3 years? 80% of that power will disappear and you'll go back to being SS level or less, just so you know".
But, yeah, at this point it's all about Goku and Vegeta and we all should know it and accept it, just voicing some concerns.
Edit: And actually, using Mystic Gohan as a measuring bar and hyping tool is a million times more useful than "oh crap the new villains thrashed Gohan! The same Gohan that no longer trains and wonders if he can even turn SS from how much he's slacked! I guess they must be. . .mildly imposing, mind you!". You can still wank Goku and Vegeta all you want by making them transcend and leave Mystic Gohan's power way behind by being. . .Pure Blooded Saiyans. Ouch. Well, that.
