Dude had his neck broken by Recoome.
I think people don't understand that Gohan was 5 years old on Namek. Ain't nobody in the show went through what he did.
Had his pops sacrifice his life for his own mistakes at 10.
The real travesty is Toriyama pulling out at the last minute to not give Gohan the W. The story would be too dark if Gohan won against Buu.
All alone in the world and he has Hercule asking him why he couldn't save Videl.
I doubt the dragon balls on new Namek would be used to reverse all of this either. Would have been an amazing ending. The kid with the future ahead of him has a worse future than Trunks.
