Dragon Ball Super has officially given a name to Gohan's strongest form in Dragon Ball Z. Previously, this form was only given a title in video games, but now it has been made canon in the manga. In chapter #102 of Dragon Ball Super, titled 'Ultimate Gohan,' Goku returns to Earth and is eager to witness Gohan's new transformation.

Gohan's strongest form, known as 'Ultimate Gohan,' was originally unlocked by Elder Kai in Dragon Ball Z. However, it was never officially named in the manga until now. In the latest chapter, Gohan powers up to his 'Potential Unleashed' form, which is referred to as his 'Ultimate' form by Trunks and Goten. This marks the first time this transformation has been called 'Ultimate' in the Dragon Ball canon.
The 'Ultimate Gohan' transformation made its debut in Dragon Ball chapter #496 (Dragon Ball Z chapter #302) when Elder Kai performed a ritual to unlock Gohan's latent potential. This form allowed Gohan to defeat Majin Buu and became his strongest 'pure' warrior form in Dragon Ball Z. It should be noted that this form excludes Goku and Vegeta's Potara Fusion and the forms Majin Buu took after absorbing Gohan.
While the form had no official name in the manga/anime, it was given the title 'Ultimate Gohan' in the Dragon Ball video game franchise. The term was first coined in the 2005 game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and has been widely accepted by the fandom ever since.
The fact that the manga now acknowledges that Gohan's strongest form was never officially named in canon is a positive development for the franchise. It shows that the creators are paying attention to the details and addressing any inconsistencies. Additionally, naming Gohan's previous strongest form as 'Ultimate Gohan' means that he will continue to play a significant role in the Dragon Ball series.
Fans can read Dragon Ball Super chapter #102 on platforms like Viz Media and MANGA Plus. The chapter, written by Akira Toriyama and illustrated by Toyotarou, further explores the exciting adventures of Goku and his friends in the Dragon Ball universe.
Dragon Ball Super is a sequel to the original Dragon Ball series and the beloved Dragon Ball Z anime. Set ten years after the defeat of Majin Buu, the series follows Goku and his friends on new and thrilling adventures. With 131 episodes, Dragon Ball Super has garnered praise from fans and continues to captivate audiences.
