Boruto vs. Gohan: Who Would Win?

by

Summary

  • Gohan and Boruto have immense untapped powers, making them formidable opponents.
  • Gohan, while stronger, may not unleash all his powers while Boruto seeks to become more powerful.
  • In a battle, Gohan is likely stronger, but Boruto could win if he provokes Gohan or if Gohan lets him win.

Fans of the Shounen genre often enjoy speculating about how characters from various anime series might fare in hypothetical battles with one another. Many fan-written stories explore this concept, featuring characters from different narratives engaging in combat together or teaming up.

This could prove to be a delightfully creative encounter, as long as no one gets overly competitive. Now, if by chance Boruto from the Naruto/Boruto series and Gohan from Dragon Ball were to face off in a battle… well, that’s an intriguing speculation! The results could vary greatly depending on factors such as their motivation, the rules of engagement, and the specific abilities they choose to employ. It would certainly make for an exciting hypothetical scenario!

Here Comes The Challengers

Son Gohan’s True Powers

Gohan isn’t fond of combat; instead, he’s more inclined towards learning. As a child, he was afraid of battles. Yet, following Goku’s initial demise, Piccolo recognized the importance of training for Gohan, given the likely necessity.

In his capacity as a Saiyan, Gohan possesses the potential to match or surpass the power levels attained by both Goku and Vegeta, with the narrative frequently hinting at his superior strength compared to other characters. This notion is supported by Akira Toriyama himself, who affirmed that Gohan is indeed the strongest character in the series.

It appears that since Gohan doesn’t engage in combat often, his full potential remains untapped. In the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, we get a glimpse of what Gohan is capable of when he transforms into his “Beast form”, which isn’t well-known yet.

In Dragon Ball, it hints that Gohan’s power potential is boundless. This suggests that his full capabilities remain undiscovered, which makes him a formidable and respectable adversary.

Boruto Uzumaki’s True Powers

Initially, when Boruto began unfolding its tale, I noticed that many seasoned Naruto enthusiasts expressed displeasure towards the narrative. Frequently, they would voice their opinions, stating that Boruto seemed overly pampered in contrast to how his father was portrayed as the main character.

Initially, Boruto embarks on his shinobi journey, yet to fully realize his hidden abilities. Over time, however, he has shown remarkable growth. It appears that his untapped potential may surpass expectations, given his substantial chakra reserves. Despite being a Hyuga offspring, Boruto lacks the Byakugan, but he overcame this by awakening the Jogan instead.

He’s worked alongside numerous individuals, among them Sasuke, absorbing all the knowledge they had to offer. Following the slaying of Momoshiki, a Karma was instilled within him, amplifying his skills further.

Boruto isn’t just extraordinarily gifted with special skills, he also boasts impressive physical strength, making him seem almost invincible to some. This extraordinary power could make him an ideal adversary for Gohan.

What’s The Most Likely Outcome?

In comparison, while Boruto demonstrates considerable power, Gohan showcases an unmatched strength when he fully taps into his abilities. Therefore, it’s reasonable to anticipate that Gohan might emerge victorious in a battle under those circumstances.

Typically, Gohan refrains from activating his full powers during battles. Instead, he tends to be quite reluctant about doing so. Notably, the instances where we’ve seen him fighting with immense strength were often sparked by anger, usually triggered by someone hurting a loved one in his family.

Could there possibly be a scenario where Boruto manages to stir up Gohan enough to activate his hidden potential? It appears rather improbable. Given that Boruto shares traits with Goku and aspires to grow stronger, he might even emerge victorious. Furthermore, if Gohan ever came to understand the significance of victory for Boruto, it’s likely that he would intentionally allow Boruto to win in the end.

Essentially, when it comes to raw power, it seems that Gohan has the edge. But in terms of eagerness to engage in combat, Boruto is more likely to come out on top. However, if Boruto were to target someone or something important to Gohan, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

Naruto, Boruto and Dragon Ball are available to stream on Crunchyroll.
