Some websites/YouTube channels claimed Akira Toriyama recently stated Gohan is
the strongest Saiyan. This statement would be in the context of Gohan getting
a new transformation called Gohan Beast, so it's somewhat believable, though
it also could be a false rumor.

Did Akira Toriyama state recently that Gohan is the strongest Saiyan?

One of the plausible references is probably **from the _Dragon Ball Super:
Super Hero_ 's movie pamphlet that contains Akira Toriyama's commentary**
(dated back to May 28, 2022).
