This choice: Mirai (Future) Gohan  •  Go Back...
Chapter #5

Mirai Gohan, what does it mean to become an adult?

    by: Winnie the Pooh Author IconMail Icon
When you think of Gohan, you think of a kind, studious, a little shy boy. But in the future devastated by androids, there was no chance to have a childhood.

Future Gohan is a boy who had to become an adult too quickly. Without his father and his friends, without anyone to mentor him. Without Hope. Even if everything seems lost, he has a mission: to protect Trunks and what little is left in the world.

In the movie the History of Trunks, Akira Toriyama confirmed that the story of Future Trunks is one of his favorites. It allows us to explore a more serious world, with a dramatic tone, where without the Dragon Balls death has become definitive. It also shows us what the world would be like without Goku, without a real hope. A gray, dark world with no future.

Many, like Gohan, have found themselves in extreme situations, with no one to help them, isolated, with people to protect, all in a world that doesn't seem to give us much hope. What's the point of fighting, when all seems lost? How do others move on?

We often think that becoming an adult means only paying bills, having a job and children.
In Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore said a phrase that will remain forever etched: "It is not our abilities that define who we are, it is our choices."

Growing up means taking responsibility for your choices, even when they hurt.
It means understanding that we are not responsible for what happened to us, but we are responsible for what we choose to do with what happened to us. Growing up means knowing how to contain our own suffering and the pain that tears us apart without pouring it on others.

Gohan is not a hero because he wins. He is a hero because, despite the pain, he chooses not to give up. He chooses to fight against 17 and 18 despite the defeat already foreseen. But he chooses... he chooses to leave something for those who will be there. For Trunks (who became a Super Saiyan through the trauma of Gohan's death.) For you... for all of us.
