In the latest Dragon Ball Super chapter, fans finally got to see the much-anticipated sparring fight between Gohan and Goku.
This was a big deal because it was a chance to see how strong Gohan has become, especially after getting a major boost from his Beast transformation during the Super Hero Arc.
The fight showed that Gohan and Goku are now pretty much on the same level.
Gohan vs. Jiren: The Big Question
This raises a major question among Dragon Ball fans: Is Gohan now stronger than Jiren?
Remember, Jiren was introduced as a super strong character in the Tournament of Power Arc, setting a high bar for power levels.
So, it’s natural to wonder if Gohan could now take him down.

Breaking Down Their Strengths
Gohan’s Beast mode has made him one of the top fighters in Dragon Ball again. Given this, fans are eager to compare him to other strong characters like Jiren.
Considering Goku’s growth since fighting Jiren, especially with his Ultra Instinct, and the fact that Gohan kept up with Goku in his latest form, it’s fair to argue Gohan might be stronger than Jiren now.
Plus, Gohan defeated Cell Max, who was shown to be more powerful than both Jiren and Broly, adding weight to the idea that Gohan has surpassed Jiren.

What’s Next for Gohan and Jiren?
With his new power, Gohan is likely to play a big role in future Dragon Ball Super stories.
He’s back in the spotlight and might even face Black Frieza soon, though that’s still up in the air.
Jiren’s future is more uncertain since he’s from a different universe.
He might not come back, but if there’s a multiverse-level threat, Jiren could return alongside other characters like Hit and Cabba as allies.
Conclusion
After 102 chapters of Dragon Ball Super, the evidence strongly suggests Gohan has outpaced Jiren in terms of strength.
This new version of Gohan, who matches a Goku with a fully mastered Ultra Instinct, seems to be a step ahead of the Jiren we saw in the Tournament of Power.
