**Gohan** is one of the playable characters in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

## Summary

### **Saiyan Saga**

Having caught a glimpse of Gohan's power in the fight with Radtiz. Piccolo knew the only chance they stood against the Saiyan threat was to tap into Gohan's latent abilities. During his survival training. Gohan transformed into a Great Ape upon seeing the light of a full moon, tearing his clothes to shreds. Piccolo managed to stop Gohan's rampage and revert him back to normal, and to make sure it never happened again, removed Gohan's tail. Piccolo gave him a sword and a new martial arts uniform similar to Goku's, save for the mark of Demon King Piccolo on the back- a symbol meaning "demon". Towards the end of his six month survival training Gohan donned the Piccolo outfit which served as a symbol of the mutal respect between him and Piccolo and a reminder that Piccolo trained him, not Goku.

### **Frieza Saga**

Knowing that Gohan was off to an alien planet to find its Dragon Balls and wanting to guarantee he'd make a good first impression. Chi- Chi gave Gohan a bowl cut and made him dress in more formal attire. Once the spaceship took off, Gohan changed to the Piccolo outfit which he secretly brought with him. Gohan chose to wear it as a way to show his respect for his master, Piccolo. Gohan's martial arts uniform was in tatters after the fight against the Ginyu Force, so Vegeta offered Gohan a battle suit to better equip him for the inevitable upcoming fight with Frieza. This smaller battle suit is fitted for a Litt soldier. It is surprisingly light and flexible , and is shock absorbent. The shoulder guards make it easy for the wearer to have unhindered arm and shoulder movement.

### **Cell Saga**

A year after returning from Namek, Gohan found himself wiser and stronger. In addition to his Saiyan ability to grow stronger by recovering from a near-death state, having his latent power brought out by Grand Elder Guru and fighting the likes of the Ginyu Force and Frieza had turned Gohan into a more experienced warrior ready for whatever challenge lied ahead. To prepare for the battle against Cell, Gohan entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Goku to get a year's worth of training done in one day. It was here that Gohan not only achieved the Super Saiyan transformation, but learned to master and calmly maintain it. However, Chi Chi was less than pleased to see her son's new hair color. After witnessing Android 16's destruction at the hands of Cell during the Cell Games, Gohan's rage consumed him, and he was able to do what even Goku couldn't: achieve a power beyond that of Super Saiyan. Unfortunately, that power went to Gohan's head, causing him to toy with Cell instead of defeating him, a decision he later regretted.

### **Majin Buu Saga**

Seven years after the Cell Games, Gohan was now spending his days going to Orange Star High School and fighting crime in Satan City. To protect his identity. he transformed into a Super Saiyan, but rumors quickly spread around town about his heroic deeds, earning him the title of "The Golden Fighter. As rumors about the Golden Fighter spread. Gohan grew Increasingly concerned about his identity Fortunately. the wristwatch-like device Bulma created for him allowed him to don a special superhero costume with the push of a button. All Gohan needed was a heroic pose and catchphrase, and after two hours. What he came up with left much to be desired. After Videl quickly deduced that Gohan was the Great Saiyaman. she threatened to reveal his identity unless he entered the World Tournament. Concerned that his helmet would prevent him from entering, he consulted Bulma, who came up with a disguise that both pleased Gohan and adhered to tournament rules. After the Cell Games Gohan put his intense fighting days behind him and focused on his studies, something Vegeta was quick to criticize.

Though not interested at first, Gohan decided to enter the World Tournament. To prepare, he began to train with his little brother Goten. He chose to train in a purple martial arts uniform as a way to honor Piccolo, the man who taught him how to fight. Goku was returning for only one day, and eager to show his father how much he'd grown. Gohan committed himself wholeheartedly to his training the only way he knew how as a Super Saiyan. Much to his surprise though. Goten was capable of the transformation as well. Deeply angered at the sight of Videl suffering a brutal beating from Spopovich. Gohan couldn't help but temporarily turn into a Super Saiyan. The force of his transformation blew away his bandana and sunglasses, after which he stepped into the arena to help Videl. Gohan. after being commanded by his would be opponent Kibito. transformed into a Super Saiyan In doing so he inadvertently revealed to the audience that he was also the Golden Fighter. Seeing this change in Gohan also made Videl realize it was he who beat Cell, not her father.

Gohan was transported to the Land of the Kais after being severely injured in the fight against Buu. Once there, Kibito gave him an outfit more befitting someone in the sacred land, though Gohan was less than pleased to wear something so similar to Kiito's outfit. Thanks to the lengthy ritual performed by Elder Kai, Gohan was able to tap into even more of his latent power and reach his true potential. The ritual has two components to it -- the first is to gain access to one's hidden power, which takes five hours. and the second is to boost that power, which takes twenty hours. As this power boost is far different from the boost from the Super Saiyan transformation, Gohan's base form is all he needs. The once timid and doubtful Gohan was now a confident and forceful fighter. After peace returned to the world. Gohan graduated from a university, married Videl, and finally achieved his goal of becoming a scholar. The couple eventually had a daughter they named Pan, whose desire to test her mettle in battle surpassed that of Gohan and Goten
