Dragon Ball Super Beast Gohan Was Meant To Be Scary, Says Akira Toriyama

It is truly awesome time for Dragon Ball Super fans with the Manga coming out weekly, and the release of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. The latest film is packed with some major character moments as well as incredible action, and is blowing past all expectations. The film released in Japan earlier this month and is all set to debut worldwide starting August 18, 2022. But unfortunately, fans have been spoiled a lot and now it seems like Toei itself is making sure they know about the spoilers of the film. Obviously, the following article contains major spoilers for DBS: SH.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Beast Gohan Original Concept

Just last week, Toei released new official promos featuring new transformations of Gohan, Piccolo as well as Cell Max, along with some HD images. That aside, they released a post-release trailer full of spoilers showcasing all these transformations. So at this point everyone knows about Gohan’s new transformation.

To defeat the Cell Max monster, Gohan achieves a new form originally called Final Gohan / Gohan Blanco with white hair and red eyes. In this form he emits a purple glow covered with lightening and a white aura. This badass and well deserved transformation looks like a love child of Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego. You can read all about it here along with his full leaked transformation video. As you can see in the image above, Gohan’s new transformation has been revealed as “Son Gohan Beast” which is being called Beast Gohan.

While this transformation looks excellent with an awesome design, Toriyama initially intended it to be a whole lot scarier. He said, “I named this transformation “Gohan Beast,” because I felt that the beast inside him had awakened. As for the design, I tried drawing a scary face with pale skin, but it didn’t seem to fit Gohan’s image, so I ended up simply putting his hair up in a big bun, as I often do, to give him a crisp look.”

In the featured image is a Beast Gohan fanart based on the description provided Toriyama. It stays true to the description featuring a pale face with a rather sinister look. But then again, it is not the Gohan we all know, hence it was scrapped.
