Summary

Both Gohan and Frieza have each undergo some massive power ups inDragon Ballcanon , withFrieza obtain his Black Frieza formandGohan unlocking his Beast Gohan transformation , mean it ’s only a matter of time before the two of them look - off inDragon Ball Super . However , long before these more recent developments , Gohan and Frieza did have a one - v - one battle , one that proved just how much Gohan surpassed not just Frieza , but also Goku by lengthiness .

It ’s fair to say that Goku proved himself as the nearly unbeatable warrior fans know him as today because of his battle with Frieza . It was during that fight ( which set about inDragon Ballchapter 307 by Akira Toriyama ) thatGoku first became a Super Saiyan(which happen inDragon Ballchapter 317 ) .

By the remnant of their engagement , Frieza was in his ‘ final form ’ and Goku was a Super Saiyan , and Goku was only scarce able to pull off the victory . This means that Frieza ’s last form is roughly as strong as a first - gen Super Saiyan , which is especially famous given the circumstances of Gohan ’s fight with Frieza many years later .

Gohan Defeated Final Form Frieza with a Single Punch

Goku needed to go Super Saiyan to beat Frieza!

In the anime filmDragon Ball Z : Fusion Reborn , while Goku and Vegeta are busy fighting Janemba in hell , a swarm of villain rising tide the Earth from the afterlife , and one of them is none other than Frieza . Upon his resurrection , the one thing that remained high on Frieza ’s to - do list was to kill Goku . Goku may not have been the one to shoot down Frieza ( that honour goes to Trunks ) , but he was the first Saiyan to defeat him , which meant Frieza wanted retribution on Goku most of all .

When Frieza could n’t incur Goku , he decided that his son , Gohan ( who he also briefly fought on Namek ) would be a worthy backup . However , Frieza vastly underestimated Gohan , as the half - Saiyan warrior sent Frieza back to hell with a single clout to the gut - no Super Saiyan big businessman - up need .

Dragon Ball zee : merger Rebornisn’t officially canyon , but something being canyon or not merely verbalize to the events that take shoes withinDragon Ballcontinuity , not power levels . Therefore , Gohan being as unassailable as Super Saiyan 1 Goku in his substructure form around the time of the ' Majin Buu Saga ' holds dead on target . This mean Gohan surpass the power level of his Padre to an uttermost level , asGoku struggled to beat Final Form Frieza as a Super Saiyan while Gohan one - shotted that same Frieza in his base phase . Could this disparity translate to their current high grade ?

If Super Saiyan 1 Goku is equal to base - level Gohan , then what does Ultra replete Goku translate to in term of Gohan ’s true power level as Beast Gohan ? That ’s the enquiry raised by Gohan ’s good triumph over Frieza inFusion Reborn , as it not only proves how much Gohan surpassed his Father of the Church at that time , but it also indicates that Gohan may be the onlyDragon Ballwarrior warm enough to finally take down Black Frieza .
