While this may be a less exciting form, Base Form Gohan still delivers. Even from a young age. There are plenty of scenes to remind us how mighty he could be as his raw power surpassed Goku's, which can seem a bit out of the ordinary to viewers!

The form got a ton of action! You might even remember one instance, where Gohan, went toe-to-toe with the super strong Raditz, a pretty powerful Saiyan and opponent. As for the most memorable scenes from the early days of the franchise! These really put him in a unique place of honor! However, he really had to work on developing this raw power. That's because it came naturally!

After intense training. It turned out that Gohan's powers grew immensely. These transformations happened over a couple of seasons and allowed the viewers to see Gohan grow into his role as a great protector! We've even seen Gohan as the "Great Saiyaman." which came about after all those years! While, his training kept his power level impressive he focused more on learning and the life of a scholar than on constantly training! The real life aspects in Dragon Ball are more important, in my mind!

The Great Ape

To transform into this ape you'd think that the Powers are great! You won't find an ape stronger!

However, to get to this point! There's a bit of a challenge! It means, this special power in the world of Dragon Ball can only be accessed while a Saiyan has its tail. After a specific moment, Saiyans often lose it! It doesn't even regrow and their strength in these new versions means they don't even need the form to win, as the powers become much stronger.

Fans who watch Dragon Ball will get this. What really takes viewers into a place that really shocked fans was this incredible event that happened where the moon was destroyed in Dragon Ball Z. The moon has to be around so this can work and it's pretty impressive.

If you are wondering. While this may be the largest of Saiyans' forms it is no longer Gohan's most powerful move. But if anything it serves as an early marker of Gohan's true power potential in the "Dragon Ball" series.

This is one of Gohan's biggest moves, in a powerful training montage scene, the form unveils itself! Goku had one mission: to ensure his son is strong enough to protect everyone. What could push a young Saiyan into unlocking such powerful, epic potential?

Imagining people dying was enough! Even in the intense moments of the Dragon Ball, and the awesome scenes that took place in the Room of Spirit and Time!
Gohan imagined that his friends and mentors would be killed off (imagine a world where this happened)! It would bring such pain and fear, creating something super impactful for audiences.
He could also never figure out how Cell looked so he imagined Frieza killing his other mentors.

Those amazing scenes give fans such incredible moments, that no "Dragon Ball" fan should ever miss. With Gohan's transformation he got a boost of power! At the height of these scenes it allowed the audience to see that it was not a permanent state. He had the skill to unlock it and master it when needed!
