Gohan's Iconic Moment: A Lasting Impact on the Series
Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 transformation, which first appeared in Dragon Ball Chapter 408, has had a lasting impact on the series. This moment marked a turning point in Gohan's character development, showcasing his incredible power and potential. The image of Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form has been immortalized in a new official DBZ wallpaper for smartphones, which features an homage to his iconic transformation and victory over Perfect Cell during the Cell Games.
The wallpaper's artwork is based on a piece of promotional artwork drawn by Akira Toriyama in 1994, which was also included in the 2013 Dragon Ball Super Art Book. The image recreates Gohan and Goku's father-son Kamehameha, with assorted panels from the same scene in the background, as Gohan charges up the one-handed Kamehameha that will inevitably kill Cell at the end of the arc.
With Gohan taking on a more prominent role in recent manga arcs, including the Moro Saga to be adapted in the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol anime adaptation, fans may very well find a new favorite Gohan form to come. For now, his Super Saiyan 2 transformation remains an iconic and beloved moment in the series, and a testament to Gohan's enduring popularity.
