“Having obstacles makes the victory all the sweeter,” Hebert states. “I’ve been waiting literally decades since I recorded the Majin Buu Saga and as much fun and thrill as I’ve had playing the character through all these different iterations — as a father, as a fake superhero, as all those sorts of things — to get to have this opportunity to make Gohan great again, that’s icing on the cake right there. It’s been a long time coming. The fans have told me that. I felt it was too, and I felt it was a matter of time. I didn’t know when it was going to happen, but what an absolute treat. What a delight, man.”
Hebert then spoke about what it is that makes Gohan so strong in the most recent film:
“Family, I think, is at the core of what’s going on with all these characters that are so well-represented and built-up over the course of the years and the entire arc of the entire franchise,” Hebert continued. “To see that acknowledged and taken to the next level … it’s important. It’s a natural progression and it’s great to see.”
