Background

Gohan was present on Namek when Yun Feng intervened against Frieza. He watched Yun Feng overwhelm Frieza and recognized the golden transformation as Super Saiyan power. Afterward, Goku instructed Gohan and Krillin to return to Earth, revive Frieza's victims with the Dragon Balls, and continue training for Frieza's expected return. 1 2

When Frieza and King Cold later arrived on Earth, Gohan was among the defenders who sensed their approach. He identified Yun Feng's Super Saiyan energy as the same power that had defeated Frieza on Namek. 4

Yun Feng brought Goku and Gohan into special training in preparation for the Android threat. Under Goku's guidance, Gohan first became capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan, then later stabilized the form through training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. 5 7 15

Appearance

In Super Saiyan forms, Gohan is surrounded by golden flames and has golden hair. His Super Saiyan 2 transformation raises his hair further and manifests silver-white lightning around his body. 23

• Wears the same school uniform as Videl while attending high school. 26
• His Ultimate state is marked by a massive eruption of power rather than a described physical transformation. 44 45

Personality

Gohan is compassionate and protective, repeatedly acting to defend civilians despite wanting to keep his identity hidden. As the Golden Warrior, he stopped an armed bank robbery, deflected gunfire, overturned the criminals' fleeing vehicle with ki, and handed the robbers to police. 26

He is initially reluctant to expose himself at school, but accepts Videl's demand to enter the World Martial Arts Tournament rather than risk losing his normal student life. 34

In battle, Gohan can draw on fierce resolve when confronted with cruelty. Goku's reminder that Bojack and his allies had harmed innocents helped trigger Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 breakthrough. 23 The Supreme Kai identifies his kindness and righteousness as reasons to believe he can wield the Z Sword's power. 40
