I'll admit that I'm frankly annoyed by most of the fan base suggesting that Gohan should have trained after the Buu Saga or say that he should have continues training after it was over. Even though I think that his character arc wasn't handled with care, he just wanted to live peacefully. People seem to forget that he didn't have the chance to have a normal childhood.
I’m a bit on the fence with that, but in terms of him getting wanting to get a peaceful life and doing what he wants? I’m on board with that a 1000000%
Do I think he should have gone full blown training, in Goku’s footsteps? Hell no.
Do I think he should have at least kept up on top of his game? (Seeing as it’s been a very annoying repeat issue in the story about him not being enough and him beating himself down about he needs to be more for his family and friends…to just not and have to go through it all again) Yes.
I think they had a huge opportunity here with Gohan to prove that he could be a father/husband, carry out a career, and be capable of stepping in when needed.
Trust me, the way the continuously handle Gohan is beyond annoying. It’s the same cycle over and over again. “Been slacking”, not strong enough, train, magically beat the bad guy, say he needs to step up, goes back to thinking his dad and Vegeta can handle things. Rise. Repeat.
I’m so for Gohan getting to enjoy his life and being a happy little nerd with his absolutely perfect family. I wish they’d commit to just leaving Gohan out of the plots in general rather than constantly trashing his character when he’s needed again to save the day.
Heaven help me I love his movie but holy shit don’t get me started on it. 😂

Thinking about Goku's thought process on the whole staying dead after the Cell arc.
Like, here's the thing, there's Bulma saying to Goku that most of the threats were mostly attracted by him, and of course Goku couldn't agree more on that, Piccolo, Radish, the rest of the Saiyans, Freezer coming to Earth, the cyborgs and Cell. So his thought process might have been, do I stay dead, leave my family, but like that, there's a bigger probability my family and friends will be safer, and Gohan will not have to find himself doing something he doesn't like doing or do I come back to life, go against the odds and just hope for the best nothing comes for me and my family, but if something deadly comes back and Gohan finds himself in a position he doesn't wanna be in again?
So, he just decided it was for the best to just stay dead and not come back. It sounds safer, but whatever choice he would have made, it wouldn't have been the perfect choice either way. Is it better to stay or to leave? Is it better to make them live in peace or risk putting all of them in danger? Neither of those solutions are perfect. There's always gonna be some bad side to it. Both of those choices sound selfish either way. But he chooses the one that has the biggest possibility of Earth being safe, so that has to count for something.
Earth lived in peace for like six years, and right on the day Goku comes back, here's another threat, sure it didn't come for him, but it sure is one hell of coincidence, at the end of the day that should have convinced him that he made the right choice in the end

Goku definitely wanted to train Gohan for fun, just like Grandpa Gohan did with him, but then he wanted to respect Chichi's desire of him not becoming a fighter. He also spent 4 years of Gohan's life together and living peacefully.
But then he died, and when he came back, he found that Gohan was turned into a fighter by Piccolo, fair, I guess. He didn't see him fight, tho, he doesn't know the story behind him becoming a fighter, just that he was trained by Piccolo.
Then Gohan wants to go to Namek to find the dragon balls because he has to make sure their dead friends come back, and Goku goes wow that sounds like me, he also can't stand to stay on the side when it comes to these things.
Weeks pass, and now he's finally able to reach them on Namek. They have to fight, of course. Things happen. He's the only chance they have to defeat Freezer. Things fall apart now, Goku becomes Super Saiyan and tells Gohan to take Piccolo and get away. Goku is stuck alone on Namek. He saves himself by pure luck. He decides to stay where he is, to learn something new, to be able to also control his Super Saiyan state.
A year passes, and he comes back to earth. News from the future, saying that in 3 years, there's gonna be a new threat. They have to train, Gohan wants to train with him and Piccolo to fight this new threat. The three years have passed, and now there's another threat outside of the androids. Goku finally healed, he gets Gohan and tells him they're gonna train to defeat Cell. Gohan accepts to train with him. Gohan puts his all into that training, and Goku finds out Gohan has so many capabilities than what he shows. That's good! They have a chance at defeating Cell, maybe.
They finish their training, Goku wants Gohan to spend as much time with Chichi, and he wants to spend the remaining days before the Cell games as a family, you never know. The Cell games start, and Goku goes first to study him, to see how strong he is and if Gohan might have a chance. Oh, Gohan definitely has a chance. Come on, Gohan, now is your turn, I can tell you know you're stronger. Gohan is having difficulties, tho, Goku says it's just a matter of time before his fighting instict and anger sets in. But Gohan doesn't like fighting. That knowledge comes to Goku as a shock. He always assumed Gohan was fighting for the safety of the earth and for the love of fighting as well. At the end of the day, how could he think different, he never truly saw Gohan fighting, and at the end of the day, he was just picking up what Piccolo started in the first place. He never truly showed a disliking for fighting, or at least he never told him. He didn't know how in his first fighting against the Saiyans, he was petrified by fear. He wasn't there for the love of fighting, but because he had to, since he had this power.
Goku realises he miscalculated this. He immediately tells Krillin to pass him a bean so that he can get back into shape to go help him. Of course, Cell stops him before that. After Cell started to attack the others, finally Gohan snapped and unleashed his power, Goku was right after all. Gohan was definitely more powerful than him. He was the right warrior to defeat him. Gohan needs to defeat him once and for all, tho, but he doesn't. He says he has to have a slow and painful death. Those are some shocking words coming from Gohan. It doesn't sound like him. Well, now that has brought some problem, Cell is now about to explode and take all the earth with him. Now Goku has to make a decision. He will sacrifice himself. At the end of the day, he was the one to put Gohan in that position in the first place. It's only fair for him to do that. But, his sacrifice is useless, Cell comes back. Gohan tries his hardest, but his arm is broken. How can he defeat him now. But Goku is there to help him find the strenght and the others too. In the end, Gohan finds the strength to finally beat him.
It's time to revive people. There's still the problem of Goku not being able to be resurrected a second time. They think hey maybe we can use the dragon balls from Namek. But Goku stops them. He thinks that Bulma was right. He only attracts threats that put the earth in jeopardy, Piccolo, the Saiyans, the androids, and Cell. Maybe if he stays dead, they will stop coming. Like that, he will not put Gohan in danger anymore, Gohan will not have to fight anymore. So at the end of the day, it's better for him to stay away, rather than him staying with them, after all he was the one to put Gohan in that situation in the first place. In the end, he makes the selfless choice for Gohan. Maybe it's better for him not to have a father, but being safe, than having a father and being put into danger. At least, that's what he thinks is the right thing to do

“My poor baby. My poor sweet little boy,” I lament out loud over a whole grown adult man who is not mine but is in fact a fictional character with fictional hurts. What matters is my feelings are real
