History

Raditz imprisons Gohan inside his spaceship during the Saiyan's attack on Earth. When Raditz tortures Goku, Gohan breaks free and releases a rage-fueled burst of power, severely wounding Raditz before collapsing from exhaustion. Li Feng then rescues him from Raditz's attempted killing blow. After recovering, Gohan politely thanks Li Feng. 2 3 4

Forewarned of stronger Saiyans approaching Earth, Gohan begins training under Piccolo despite Chi-Chi's initial opposition. He later joins Piccolo, Krillin, and the other fighters when Vegeta and Nappa arrive, firmly declaring that he will fight as well. 6 9

After the Saiyan conflict, Gohan insists on accompanying Goku, Piccolo, and Li Feng to Namek so that he can gain experience and help protect Earth. During the journey, he is advised not to use the gravity chamber because of his age, so he trains independently instead. On Namek, Grand Elder Guru unlocks a portion of his latent potential, raising his combat power to 110,000. Gohan subsequently defeats an opponent from the Ginyu Force, gaining confidence that he can fight independently. 15 20 21 24

After returning to Earth, Gohan continues seeking strength. Though Chi-Chi grounds him following the Namek expedition, he secretly resumes training with Piccolo. His admiration for Li Feng's Super Saiyan power further drives him to become stronger. 33 34 37

When King Cold and Cooler invade Earth, Gohan exposes himself to save a civilian plane. With a combat power of one million, he kills Saviza, Dray, and Nez, refuses King Cold's offer to join him, and helps the Z Fighters defeat the invading army. Cooler ultimately overwhelms and tortures him until Piccolo intervenes; Goku later heals Gohan with a Senzu Bean after returning to Earth. 38 39 41

Personality

Gohan is compassionate and unwilling to ignore innocent people in danger, even when intervening reveals his location to stronger enemies. 38

He is polite toward allies and elders, thanking Li Feng after being saved and respectfully asking Grand Elder Guru to unlock his potential. 4 21

Despite his young age, Gohan is resolute and defiant. He refuses recruitment by both Turles and King Cold, insists on going to Namek to become stronger, and continues challenging Cooler even after sustaining severe injuries. 15 17 38 39
