Gohan's powerful Beast Mode forces Goku into a defensive position in Chapter 103, titled "A Legacy Toward the Future," which sheds light on this new transformation. Gohan explains that Beast Mode works by pushing his ki to its limit, making him feel like he's about to lose control but still maintaining command. This allows him to reach maximum power without risking instability. This definition of Beast Mode could hint at a potential berserker version of Gohan in the future, especially if he needs to exceed his limits and lose control against a formidable opponent. A wilder Gohan, similar to Broly in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, would bring an exciting change to the story. However, for now, Gohan remains composed and in control of his emotions and abilities.

Gohan Beast surprises Goku in Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103.

Chapter 103 of Dragon Ball Super, titled "A Legacy Toward the Future," offers more insights, especially regarding Beerus and Whis' evaluation of Gohan's power and transformation. While they are familiar with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego, Gohan's Beast Mode is new to them, just like it is to everyone else. Whis explains to Beerus that Gohan's Beast mode is not a Super Saiyan form or a divine transformation but rather a unique ability specific to Gohan, referred to as a "singular talent." This suggests that not every character will attain Beast Mode, highlighting its uniqueness tied to Gohan's character traits.

Additionally, Chapter 103 touches on the possibility of Gohan becoming a God of Destruction, a role previously considered for Goku and Vegeta. Despite Gohan's newfound strength surpassing Goku's, Beerus dismisses the idea of Gohan becoming a God of Destruction, citing his "straitlaced" nature as unsuitable for such a position. Whis agrees with Beerus' assessment, although it's disappointing that Dragon Ball Super may not explore this intriguing storyline further.
