What makes Blue and Red an exception to this is that we KNOW how hard Goku and Vegeta work for their power, and it's believable that between BoTG and Resurrection F, they both would have honed those forms as quickly as possible. And I HATE that for him, because he has such a huge potential to be a tragic character. No power up Gohan has received since Cell has been earned, which is a shame, because his fights are fantastic, but there will always be an element of bullshit behind them because the writers needed him to be relevant and didn't have time or desire to put into writing him any meaningful arcs to get there. Working out with Piccolo for 10 minutes and not only regaining your full power, but getting a SIGNIFICANT upgrade is not "training." Sitting around meditating while someone shoves their hand in your face is not "training."
