Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
In the film's final intense fight scene, the antagonist, Cell Max, delivers a near-fatal blow to Piccolo, while an enraged Gohan finally unlocks his most powerful form yet, the Son Gohan Beast, or Form Beast.
As with most Saiyan transformations, his appearance transforms into the most evil version possible. First of all, his eyes turn a striking red with black pupils and his hair turns a grayish white, not to mention the increase in size and spikes. An intense aura bursts from his body, and he now has a red-magenta inner aura and is enveloped in purple lightning.
His transformation is the culmination of all his combat training and incomplete forms, drawing inspiration from previous Saiyan awakenings. The first images of his transformation closely resemble those of his original Super Saiyan 2. For example, the frightening red eyes of his Saiyan Great Ape form, the menacing voice of the savage Super Saiyan, and the blinding white hair of Goku's Perfected Ultra Instinct. Another nod to his past, a small echo of the cry of young Super Saiyan 2 Gohan is heard when he releases his power.

Unleashed Potential Form
The genius of this evolved form with unleashed potential doesn't stop at its appearance: it blocks a gigantic punch from Cell Max without losing a drop of sweat before throwing the villain miles away with a simple swing of its foot. He then finishes the fight with the help of Piccolo and a special ray cannon ability that nullifies a frustrated Cell Max's massive energy sphere, resulting in his defeat.
His current power level takes into account that before Beast Gohan, Cell Max decimated Piccolo's newest and strongest form, Orange Piccolo, and our favorite golden boy went through these final moments like it was nothing. was. This probably suggests that Gohan could be the strongest being on Earth in the absence of Goku and Vegeta. But how does Son Gohan Beast compare to other gods and monsters in the Dragon Ball universe?
Right now, there may not be enough room to measure Gohan Beast, given that the only points of comparison we have are Cell Max and Orange Piccolo. But his recent development speaks to the belief that he can surpass Goku in terms of potential. He just needs to take a permanent break from his research work.
In an official storyboard given to fans, this form was nicknamed “Final Gohan” during production, which could indicate that this is his final transformation, but it was ultimately finalized as “Son Gohan Beast ” that we know and still swoon over today. For the record, the creator, Akira Toriyama, created this name thinking that the wild beast inside him had awakened.
Overall, Gohan's new form is strong enough to take on one of the most powerful beings in the series. This simple name change is a good sign for fans who want to see a future form of Gohan. Which leaves us with just one question.
