Lore
Named after Goku’s adoptive grandfather, Son Gohan is the eldest son of Chichi and Goku and is one of the most prominent protagonists of the Dragon Ball franchise. Although Gohan does not share his father’s lust for battle, he has shown a truly incredible amount of fighting potential since he was a small child. Recognizing the child’s power in Goku’s absence, Piccolo the Namekian took Gohan and trained him in the art of battle. Developing a hard-won friendship, Gohan grew to admire and respect Piccolo as much as his father. Despite his hatred for violence, young Gohan fought to protect his friends and family from danger on many occasions. As an adolescent, Gohan was forced to defend the earth from the horrific Bio-Android Cell in The Cell Games. After witnessing his friend Android 16’s death, Gohan’s emotions overwhelmed him and he released the power that had been lingering inside him his whole life. In a rage fueled transformation, Son Gohan became the first to achieve Super Saiyan 2 and used this power to defeat the monstrous Cell.
