As a lifelong devotee of anime with a fondness for 'Dragon Ball', I can confidently comment on Beast Gohan. He's actually not canon. While Gohan does undergo a variety of transformations throughout the series, the label 'beast' isn't attached to any of them in the anime or manga created by Akira Toriyama. It sounds like 'Beast Gohan' could be a character conception from the realm of fan-fiction or fan-art, which is a testament to the creativity of the 'Dragon Ball' fandom!
As an ACGN enthusiast with a particular penchant for anime, 'Dragon Ball' has always been on top of my list. That said, Beast Gohan isn't part of the original canonical storyline in Akira Toriyama's 'Dragon Ball' manga nor in its anime adaptation. There have been numerous transformations for Gohan, but a 'Beast' form isn't one of them.
This mysterious character seems to be more of a fan creation or from a fan-fiction. However, on the bright side, the world of 'Dragon Ball' is so large and diverse, it's easy to get lost in all the fascinating fan theories and alternative interpretations!
I'm an anime lover who adores 'Dragon Ball'. But Beast Gohan isn't a canon character from 'Dragon Ball'. Both the anime and manga versions of the series don't feature him. Beast Gohan might be from fan-fiction or fan-art, which just goes to show how enthusiastic and imaginative the 'Dragon Ball' fandom can be!
Beast Gohan? No, he's not canon in the original 'Dragon Ball' series. This form of Gohan doesn't appear in the manga or anime.

"Can you be my puppy? Your fur is so soft."
What began as an innocent childhood encounter became the spark of an ancient prophecy—one powerful enough to shatter the fragile peace between humans and beasts.
For centuries, the two realms remained separated by an unbreakable boundary.
Humans stayed in their world.
Beasts stayed in theirs.
No one crossed the line.
No one challenged fate.
Not until their encounter.
She never knew that the beast she adored was destined to become the most feared Alpha in the Beast Realm.
Years later, cast out by her own people, she unknowingly crosses into the forbidden land of monsters—straight into the path of the "puppy".
Bound by a forgotten prophecy, divided by two worlds, and drawn together by a desire neither can explain, they must choose:
Obey fate and remain enemies...
Or risk a war between humans and beasts for a love that was never meant to exist.
"I only want you, Theia. Always have always will and this shall never change. How could I ever want another when I possess the one I solely exist for?"
"Phobos," I call his name fondly a need to hug him and breathe in his calming scent surfaces.
"I do not wish to treat you like you are made of glass because you aren't. Your body was made for me and it can handle everything I choose to give it. And this I will prove it to you."
"When?" I ask breathlessly as he ultimately turns around to meet my curious eyes. Golden rings outline his irises his beast announcing his presence and they stand as one before me. A wicked smile paints his face with a flash of canine displayed to me. A promise he gives that I will be ruthlessly devoured.
"When I fuck you senseless."
~~~
After years of excruciating loneliness, Phobos approached me. A frightening beast, my soulmate who emerged from within the bounds of a ruthless storm. The male I yearned for. He caught me off guard and I was under the spell he cast through his ocean eyes. A spell I couldn't defeat and that very moment I knew I was in trouble. The second our eyes met I knew he would bring me endless heartache.
We were childhood friends, him and I. Phobos the gentle juvenile I grew up with vanished and was replaced by a cold-hearted barbarian, he terrified me as he killed many with a blink of his eyes where his beast was often in control surging forward consuming his senses. They were equals.
How can I connect with a beast like him? How could I make him call me his? How can I love my childhood friend who has become a monster?

For thousands of years, the tale of the Lycan beast who lurked the forbidden forest had been told. Every five hundred years, six females were allegedly sacrificed from the wolf village to the beast and it was rumoured that their bodies were left to rot at the entrance of the forest for all to see. Many times, this tale was retold to scare the young wolves from venturing into the forest and keep them in check, because no one wanted to be a scapegoat in the hands of the unforgiving and murderous beast.
Nola Reynolds has always been a headstrong fiery pure blood who has always believed there was no Lycan beast and all the tales about him were just made up myths and fairy tales, aimed at scaring the younger ones. Little does she know that one night was all it was going to take to change her life forever. Things take an unsettling turn for Nola when she, alongside five other girls, are chosen on the night of the full moon. She is faced with the most shocking revelation of her life standing before her, in flesh and blood— The Lycan Beast.

Let's clear this up from the get-go: people often mix up terms, so I'll separate the two most common things folks mean by 'black rose goku.' If you're talking about 'Goku Black' — the Zamasu-possessed Goku who uses the pink-hued Super Saiyan Rosé — then yes, that is canon to 'Dragon Ball Super'. That whole Future Trunks arc appears in the anime and the manga, and the character and his Rosé form were created for that official storyline.
If, however, you're referring to a specific variant called 'Black Rose' that shows up in the promotional card game and the tie-in anime 'Super Dragon Ball Heroes', that's a different beast. 'Super Dragon Ball Heroes' is promotional and full of alternate timelines, what-ifs, and crossover gimmicks; its characters and transformations generally aren't considered part of the official continuity. So that particular incarnation would be non-canonical.
I like both the official 'Goku Black' drama in 'Dragon Ball Super' and the wild alt-universe stuff in 'Super Dragon Ball Heroes' — one scratches the serious plot itch, the other scratches the chaotic fan-service itch, and both are fun in their own ways.
Straight talk: 'Black Gohan' isn’t something you’ll find in the official 'Dragon Ball' timeline, and that’s the key to understanding this whole question.
I’ve dove into the wild world of fan universes for years, and in 'Dragon Ball Multiverse'—which is a fan-made, community-driven webcomic—you get a huge buffet of alternate realities. Some of those realities are official creations by the comic’s authors, and others are reader-submitted scenarios. So whether a variation like 'Black Gohan' is "canon" depends on what you mean. It can be canonical within a specific DBM universe if the creators included that version, but it’s not canon to Toriyama’s original works or to the official franchise.
Personally I love how DBM lets fans explore darker twists—an evil Gohan or a corrupted Saiyan path is a fun thought experiment—but I always separate that enjoyment from the official storyline. It’s cool fan fiction energy, and I enjoy imagining how a darker Gohan would clash with the heroes and the emotional stakes he'd bring.
Man, the whole 'canon' debate in 'Dragon Ball' is such a rabbit hole, isn't it? The Broly movie situation is especially messy because there are two versions of him—the original 'Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan' from the '90s, which was definitely non-canon filler, and the 2018 'Dragon Ball Super: Broly,' which Toriyama himself wrote the script for. That one’s 100% canon since it ties directly into 'Super' lore, introducing Broly as a Saiyan survivor with a totally revamped backstory. The animation is insane, too—that fight scene where Goku and Vegeta fuse into Gogeta? Pure eye candy.
But yeah, if you’re talking about the older Broly movies, those are just fun side stories. The new one? Absolute must-watch for timeline sticklers. It even sets up future arcs with Frieza’s weird interest in Broly. I love how it fleshes out Saiyan history without retconning too much.
