Editor-san didn't want Gohan to take the reigns.

Toriyama is infamously his editor's bitch. Though he also made a fuck ton of money doing, so clearly what do I know about the publishing business? Nothing that's what.
Mason Barnes
Wrong.
Wrong.
Toriyama admitted it himself that Gohan did not have what it takes to be a main character like Goku, so he changed his mind.

Blame the fans. They preferred Goku and so Toriyama brought him back to life.
Jose Roberts
Speaking of Gohan. Pic related would've been perfect to fuck with Mirai Trunks.

Die.

Only losers die. Like Cell.

To add onto this. Gohan was more popular than Goku was when it was running at that time.

Gohan wasn't really suited for the role of MC the way Goku was. Toriyama wanted a dumb fuck and Gohan was anything but that.

It would have taken the manga from early battle shounen with your typical hyperactive protagonist to some of this new-age shit we get dumped on us every season. Sappy main character that snaps is cringe, and based toriyama knew better than to do it. He would have been ahead of the curve, but the man has standards.

Damn those massive number of votes why are numbers so low now in any manga popularity poll?
Are the voters only jump subscribers?
Ethan Rodriguez
Why not blaming Toriyama?
Charles Garcia
Gohan's shit in Cell saga was absolutely atrocious. I would be embarrassed of him too.

People call the 80's to early 90's the "golden era" of Shonen Jump here and there, even if Cell arc was around 1994 at this point. You could say Jump was at its prime back then. It's insane how the top 2 spots almost make up 100,000 votes.
Jose Collins
totally fan driven.
A generation of hardcore fans couldn't even handle Goku growing up, let alone being superseded by his son.
In the end, Toriyama is a father himself, and writing the son in as the main character could have been difficult given the harshness of what the character would go through.

his name is Toriyama and he found him not as fun to write as Goku
David Murphy
Dragon Ball should have ended after the Cell saga.
