Gohan is the best character.

He realized he was a shonen character and said gently caress that.

I'm just pointing out the absurdity of this series swerving from this point, where Goku says "Well Cell, I can't beat you, but my adolescent son can", to Gohan dropping in combat relevance like a rock

No, Krillin is, because he realized he had no combat value whatsoever, so becoming a family man was the best use of his potential.

Gohan just decided to double down on an MBA instead of going for the medical doctorate.

Wasn't Gohan eventually in the then new opening too? Something that wasn't changed for a long rear end time?

Mr. Satan is the strongest person in the world who can't do ki stuff.

However he has the strongest heart, so he channels that to be the true hero.
