Gohan's pathetic performance against Buu is the most humiliating jobbing in the history of fiction - Bar none. No event has ever had a steeper gap between the expectations set by hype and the absolutely underwhelming performance that followed it. He spends the ENTIRE arc just sitting on his ass in a ritual that is supposed to make him the strongest ever, when he's finally done his power is presented as absolutely UNMATCHED. Everything points to him being the one to finish off Buu, his dad even tells him to bring back peace to the world, and when he arrives, he lets off a legendarily sick burn by literally calling Buu a retard... And then he jobs. He jobs pathetically. He accomplishes absolutely nothing except to make the situation even worse, all through his own stupidity. Not only did Gohan get brutalized by Buu in one of the most one-sided battles ever in DB, he lost against an enemy that started out WEAKER than him. He actually LOST against someone that was flat-out weaker than him, simply because the enemy was smarter and had planned it all out from before Gohan even arrived. Victory was literally his for the taking and he STILL fucked it up by being a careless retard. But we're not done yet. Goku himself arrives to save his ass, with one last back-up plan: They can fuse with Potaras and become unbeatable. And guess what? Gohan fails to catch a fucking earring thrown at him. This supposedly skilled martial artist, who can move at blinding speeds, who has a sixth sense for the movement of living beings, FAILS. TO CATCH. A FUCKING. EARRING. But we're STILL not done yet, oh no. When it finally looks like luck is on their side because the Gotenks inside Buu defuses and he reverts back to being weaker... Gohan gets fucking absorbed. Because he stood there like a moron, unaware of his surroundings, even after KNOWING Buu does this type of thing when cornered - Making him EVEN STRONGER than when he was when he fodderized Gohan. Good JOB Gohan!
