Background / History

Videl initially investigates Gohan because she suspects he is the mysterious City Superhero. Persistent and unwilling to accept his denials, she confronts him at school and resolves to expose his identity. Her investigation instead leads to their first date. 1 4

During the date, Videl regrets treating Gohan with suspicion after he gives her a gemstone necklace. When armed robbers take hostages, she immediately intervenes despite the danger. She is injured by gunfire, prompting Gohan to reveal his overwhelming power while saving her. 7

Gohan takes her to Korin Tower, where a Senzu Bean heals her wound. Seeing him fly and learning about the hidden side of the world, Videl asks him to teach her ki control and flight. She kisses Gohan on the cheek after he takes her home, calling it a gift for their first date. 8

Videl learns that Gohan and his allies—not her father—were responsible for saving Earth. Rather than resent Mr. Satan, she wants to stand up for Gohan, while Gohan accepts Mr. Satan as a potential father-in-law. Their relationship deepens after they share their first proper kiss. 9

She later moves into the villa Gohan obtains through Mr. Satan and becomes pregnant with Gohan's child. Android 18 acts as her protector during dangerous incidents and assists with her safety. 17 27 38 41
