Background / History

He Lingxuan began directing Gohan's growth while Gohan was still a young child. After showing him a possible future in which Raditz kills Son Goku and leaves Chi-Chi grieving, He Lingxuan offered Gohan the choice of difficult training or remaining unable to protect his family. Gohan chose to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. 31

Inside the chamber, Gohan endured tenfold gravity, extreme conditions, repeated sparring, and months of training. He Lingxuan acted as a demanding mentor but also monitored Gohan's well-being, allowing him time to adapt after the first difficult night. 31 33

When Gohan met the minimum requirement for Super Saiyan, He Lingxuan subjected him to a realistic illusion of his parents' deaths. The experience awakened Gohan's rage and Super Saiyan power, but left him emotionally shaken for several days. He nevertheless continued training until he could sustain Super Saiyan as a normal state. 34

After leaving the chamber, Gohan's strength greatly surpassed his father's. He sparred secretly with Son Goku after dinner, carefully suppressing his power but still overwhelming him; these sessions became a source of guidance for Goku's own progress. 41 54

Years later, Gohan maintained both study and training. His enhanced intellect let him skip grades and complete university coursework while preparing a graduation thesis before the age of ten. 154 After the Dark Multiverse conflict, he returned to a more ordinary routine by attending high school while continuing to train. 312

Despair Timeline

An alternate future Gohan lost an arm and fought Androids 17 and 18 alone in a devastated Earth, protecting the surviving humans despite being outmatched. Near death, he was recruited into the Dimensional Chat Group. 112

A mysteriously empowered Senzu Bean restored his body, including his severed arm, and amplified his strength. With Chat Group members accompanying him, he confronted the Androids, awakened Super Saiyan 2 while protecting a little girl, and killed both Androids. 115 116 117 118

Afterward, he used Shenron to undo the Androids' destruction and deaths, revive Son Goku, and grant lasting health to his family, friends, and future loved ones. 118 119

Appearance

Gohan is first depicted as a six-year-old boy about 1.5 meters tall, often shy enough to hide behind He Lingxuan while exploring Kami's Lookout. 30 31 By the time of his battle with Saitama, he is a tall young man with sharply defined muscles and the bearing of a seasoned warrior. 292

• In Super Saiyan 4, he grows to over 1.8 meters tall due to ancestral bloodline regression. 98
• Super Saiyan 4 gives him long black hair, red body fur outside the head, chest, and palms, and red eye rims. 146
• His Super Saiyan Immortal God Form has waist-length pale white hair, pale white ape-like fur, silver-white lightning, and an Immortal God Power ring behind him. 306
• His strongest Super Saiyan 5-derived divine state changes his white hair, pupils, and fur to deep blue. 201

Personality

Gohan is fundamentally gentle, protective, and considerate. He holds back when sparring with Son Goku out of concern for his father, comforts a terrified child during the Android crisis, and prioritizes restoring the people harmed by the Androids after winning. 41 117 118 119

His compassion coexists with extreme rage when innocents or loved ones are threatened. The illusion of his parents' deaths awakened his Super Saiyan form, while the destruction of a town and the threat to a little girl drove his alternate self to Super Saiyan 2 and a ruthless execution of the Androids. 34 117 118

He is disciplined rather than single-mindedly battle-focused. Gohan continues studying alongside training, approaches complex problems from multiple perspectives, and attributes the confidence to resolve difficult situations to sufficient strength and preparation. 99 154 281
