Son Gohan
| “ | One thing I learned from my father is to never give up, even when the odds are stacked against you. | „ |
| ~ Son Gohan |
Background
Son Gohan is the prodigious son of the legendary fighter, Son Goku, and his wife Chi-Chi. Born in a time of peace, Gohan was raised by his mother to be a scholar, and was highly discouraged from training as a martial artist with his father. Eventually, Gohan developed a dream of his own to become a scholar, and began to see the downsides of fighting that Goku did not see.
However, Son Gohan was a hybrid between a Saiyan and an Earthling, which made his potential and rate of growth far exceed those who were pure Saiyan. He would constantly find himself having extreme outbursts of anger, which amplified his strength to the point where he could greatly injure Saiyan warriors, even as a toddler.
As Gohan grew up, he was constantly faced with trouble time and time again. With his father having been killed, Gohan was trained for a year by the Namekian, Piccolo, in preparation for the invasion of the Saiyans. This began Gohan’s long life of fighting, despite his hatred towards it.
In the years to come, Gohan has faced nearly every major villain that the Z Team faced, including Frieza, Cell, and Buu. His potential was finally unleashed against Cell, where his anger and want to save his friends overwrote his hatred of fighting, and thus his power was unleashed; becoming the first-known Super Saiyan 2.
After Cell was defeated, however, Gohan was finally able to live in a world of peace and tranquility, where he completely dropped his training and followed his dream to go to school. This lowered some of his power, though Gohan didn’t see the problem with this until the arrival of Babidi and Majin Buu.
Feeling far too underpowered, Gohan went to the Sacred World of the Kais with Supreme Kai, where the Elder Kai was released and unleashed Gohan’s full potential. Now with his full potential (or Mystic/Ultimate form) unleashed, Gohan was able to take on Majin Buu efficiently.
Although he was subsequently absorbed by Buu, Gohan was eventually rescued from within Buu’s body, and continued on as the strongest known character in the universe. Despite his hatred for fighting, he would remain the most valuable fighter on Earth.

- I'm Here to Kill You: As he says either "I'll make you pay" or "I'm here to kill you", Gohan kicks his opponent in the stomach. Next, he does a 360 spin, kicking the opponent in the neck. Last, Gohan moves behind the opponent and knocks him down to the ground with a left hook, inflicting a huge amount of damage.
- Great Ape: This transformation occurs when a person with Saiyan heritage (and with a tail) absorbs enough blutz waves through the eyes, usually from looking at a full moon. This stimulates a gland in the tail, enabling a seemingly unavoidable transformation. In this form, Gohan's capacities increase 10 fold. Because Gohan never had any proper training, Gohan loses all form of mental control, becoming a primal beast. However, during his fight against Vegeta, Goku's words were able to reach Gohan enough to regain some of his rational thought and focus on his real enemy. Gohan only transforms into this state three times throughout the series as ultimately, his tail was permanently removed. Gohan is the only known Saiyan/Human hybrid to ever achieve this transformation, due to having been born with a Saiyan tail.
- Unlock Potential: Unlock Potential is a state of self-enhancement to focus the full extent of their current capacities. Gohan acquired it from Guru while on Planet Namek, who noted that Gohan's capacities were by far the greatest he had ever seen. Gohan's abilities were all greatly enhanced, and as a side effect, continuously grew at noticeably faster rates with each battle, as noted by Vegeta. This awakening made Gohan's power increase multiple fold, making him equal to Vegeta's strength when the latter appeared on Earth. This, however, only appeared to release his initial potential as only through moments of extreme emotion could he manifest all of his power.
- Potential Unleashed (Ultimate Gohan): Much later Old Kai uses his unlock ability to bring out the full extent of Gohan's dormant power. This powered up Gohan is still able to use Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 on top of it, and also became capable of taking on a form called Potential Unleashed which released his power to beyond it's limits. On one occasion, Gohan was referred to as "Ultimate Gohan" while in this state even without being in his Potential Unleashed form. In addition to Old Kai's Unlock Ability granting Gohan full access to all his developed capacities, Gohan is capable of pushing his power well-past those levels via his Potential Unleashed state. This power-up is when the full extent of his dormant capacities are released. This state looks identical to his base state, but with the addition of a lock of hair hanging down over his forehead in the anime. Once accessing his Unlocked power, Gohan's subtle differences are present to his appearances, including more pronounced facial features including sterner eyes, and is able to manifest a large white aura.
- Super Saiyan: Gohan became a Super Saiyan at nine years of age (ten if including the months spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber), during the intense training he endured with his father to help him ascend. At the time, Gohan was the youngest to appear as a Super Saiyan until the appearance of his brother, Son Goten, who accesses the state effortlessly at seven years old. In this state, his capacities are increased 50 fold. In this state, his musculature grows more defined, while his eyes become sterner and green, and his hair turns blond while standing up more with no loose strands. His energy is manifested as a golden aura. After Gohan had his potential unlocked by Old Kai, Gohan would rarely use this or any higher form, due his base state's power already being well-beyond the previous limits that Super Saiyan alone would provide. However, doing so still increases his power as proportionally as previously. After Gohan’s earnest studies led him to need glasses, his diminished eyesight is restored in his Super Saiyan forms.
- Super Saiyan Full Power: Gohan is one of the first to gain full mastery over Super Saiyan. After Goku noted the inherit weakness of transforming, a reduction in stamina and ki, Gohan learned to perfect this form with his father. By working to remain transformed for extended periods of time, Gohan and his father gradually learned to overcome the transformation's drawback to feel as natural in this form as their base state. This mastery of Super Saiyan enables full control over the energy output and consumption, completely diminishing strain on the body, even while constantly maintaining maximum power for. It also has caused no affect to Gohan's emotional nature and subsequently gives of a pure energy that attracts wildlife.
- Super Saiyan 2: Gohan was the first and the youngest to reach Super Saiyan 2, achieving it at the age of 9 (technically 10). This occurred when a larger portion of his dormant power was awakened in rage from Perfect Cell killing the peaceful Android 16. While in this form, Gohan's muscle mass increases slightly and hair stands straight up and spikier with the exception of one lock that hangs down. Also, his aura is surrounded by repeated flashes of blue electricity. Originally, so new with this massive boost of power, it warped Gohan's attitude, giving him an almost sadistic sense of mind as he wanted to make Cell suffer for his evil actions, whereas before Gohan was a pacifist to a fault who didn't want to hurt the villainous Cell.
Other
Standard Tactics: Gohan exhibits a more passive style to fighting, usually trying to ask the other side to not fight but he will fight to defend himself and his friends, in which he uses hand to hand combat along with energy blasts.
Weaknesses: Son Gohan despises fighting, and will withstand tons of unnecessary damage to avoid fighting with someone, even if he is stronger than them and could easily end the conflict himself.
