While Gohan is one of my favorite Dragon Ball characters, he just doesn't work well for the series he's in long term. By the buu saga, DB pretty much became fight porn, and Gohan is an intellectual. So, that just doesn't pair well. Gohan would have worked better if the buu saga was a murder mystery or Videl and him went on space adventures where they had did stuff like stop ayys from launching a race war.
