As one of the first transformations that diverged from the line of Super Saiyan forms that defined most power-ups in Dragon Ball Z, Gohan's "Ultimate" form, otherwise known as "Ultimate Gohan," was a game changer when it debuted. Despite the limited changes to Gohan's appearance in the design of this form, it has become one of the character's most memorable transformations, and a critical catalyst in his progression later on in the franchise.
