Background / History

Su Mu was a chef from another Earth before transmigrating into the body of young Son Gohan during the Saiyan invasion. He awakens the Attribute Pickup System, which lets him collect dropped Battle Power and skill attributes, and rapidly accepts his new identity after experiencing the family he lacked as an orphan. 1 7

During the battle against Vegeta, Gohan reveals power far beyond the other defenders, defeats Great Ape Vegeta with Kaio-ken, Magic Flash, Kamehameha, and Destructo Disc, and gathers attributes from the conflict. He then insists on traveling to Namek because he considers protecting Earth and his companions his responsibility. 5 6 8

Before the Namek expedition, he trains with Mr. Popo and spends two years inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The training matures his body and grants his first Super Saiyan transformation. On Namek, Grand Elder unlocks a portion of his potential, while Gohan gains further techniques through the system. 10 11 19 24 28

Gohan later travels across alternate timelines to train, collect attributes, and prevent future threats. In the Future Timeline, he mentors Future Trunks against the eventual danger of Zamasu and Goku Black. In the GT Timeline, he becomes a trusted “Little Dad” figure to Pan, teaches others the paths to Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan God, and repeatedly protects Earth from threats including Super 17, the Shadow Dragons, and Majin Buu. 57 61 114 117 171 275

Appearance

After extensive Hyperbolic Time Chamber training, Gohan changes drastically from a small, chubby child into a taller, sharp-featured boy with a more mature bearing. 11 12

• Has a Saiyan tail. 12
• Reaches roughly 1.4 meters tall after his first two years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. 11
• At age ten, is about 1.5 meters tall with defined features and a distinctive sharp forelock. 62
• Super Saiyan forms give him a golden aura; Legendary Super Saiyan forms give him grass-green hair, eyes, and aura. 57 66
• Super Saiyan 4 covers all but his head, chest, and palms in red fur and gives him black hair. 120
• Super Saiyan God gives him red hair, a leaner build, and a flame-like divine aura. 171

Personality

Gohan is driven, confident, and unusually mature for his physical age. His memories as Su Mu make him value Chi-Chi, Goku, and his new friends deeply; he resolves to protect their family rather than let it fall apart. 7 8 40

He is practical in combat and believes fighters should use their full strength rather than give an enemy opportunities. His lessons can be severe—such as striking Pan after a sparring session to teach vigilance—but he immediately heals those he injures and frames hardship as preparation for real danger. 117

Gohan is also a natural mentor. He motivates Future Trunks, Pan, Goku, Vegeta, his siblings, and other allies to train, shares cultivation knowledge freely, and uses Potential Unleashed and healing to strengthen the group. 61 171 275 288
