Anyone remember when Gohan was at his strongest against Cell at Super Saiyan 2. And then got even stronger with Elder Kai unlocking his potential against Buu.

But ... why haven't we seen Gohan "look like" Super Saiyan 2? (I don't see the 'electricity of SSJ 2' from Gohan's recent fights.) or worse, why isn't he going Elder Kai Ability anymore?
Is his lack of training really that much of an affect to diminish his strength in transformation.

I don't get it, anyone have a interview answer from the creator of this or something?
Oh and, without spoiling. I would only like to know if the creator fixed Goten and Trunks to a proper look of their new age in Dragon Ball Super.

It's pretty obvious.
Gohan was set up to be the "new" main character of Dragon Ball Z just like in every shounen with that whole "next generation surpassing the older one" and stuff.

Problem is / was: everyone just likes Goku too much. Pretty much anyone is else is relegated to the sidelines maybe except for Vegeta.

So Toriyama favors Goku that much?...

It's more the Japanese fans wanted Goku to always be the guy.

Man ... can't believe he'd set out to the fans like that. Like, do what you gotta do and what you like. But that still doesn't really answer my question.

Well Toriyama is one the only mainstream mangaka to appease the fans. It it weren't for him listening to his audience, we wouldn't have even gotten anything after Namek.
