Summary

Son Gohan is the eldest son of Son Goku and Chi-Chi, and one of the primary heroes of the second half of Dragon Ball. Unlike his father, Gohan was a timid and studious child who lacked the Saiyan fighting spirit despite possessing enormous strength inside him. Nonetheless, Gohan spends much of his youth defending Earth with the rest of the heroes, eventually becoming one of the most formidable Z-Fighters. After reaching adulthood in peacetime, he finally fulfils his dream of becoming a scholar.

Powers and Abilities:

Attack Potency: Planet level (Shattered Raditz's armor in a rage growing 3x stronger than his father, and after being trained by Piccolo, he became the second strongest of the Z-Fighters present, behind only Piccolo himself.

Piccolo had to destroy the Moon to stop him, and he injured Vegeta^{[Statistics Values 2]}) | Planet level (Initially stronger than before. After getting his potential unlocked, he grew steadily stronger, approaching Vegeta's power during the Saiyan Arc and surpassing him after getting a Zenkai, becoming increasingly powerful^{[Statistics Values 3]}) to Small Star level (During his rages, he was able to injure Frieza in his Second Form.

As a Super Saiyan 2 he casually stomped Perfect Cell, easily overpowering his most powerful Kamehameha from a standing position and at the last second^{[Statistics Values 6]}), Varies (The Kamehameha works by condensing one's Ki into a single point, the power of the move proportionally varying depending on how much power is condensed), up to far higher with Kamehameha (His Kamehameha matched Super Perfect Cell's, and then overpowered and completely annihilate his body on a cellular level, despite Cell being utterly superior to Gohan prior, being able to break his arm effortlessly with a simple Ki blast while "fooling around". The Kamehameha can get strong enough to completely annihilate beings far superior to the user) | Large Star level (Is 1/100th the strength of his Super Saiyan 2 self^{[Statistics Values 7]}), Solar System level with Super Saiyan transformations (His power stagnated since the Cell Arc.^[39] His power registered far higher than Super Saiyan Goku's^[40], though he is a lot weaker than his previous Cell Arc self.^[40] Comparable to Dabura^{[Statistics Values 8]}), Varies, up to far higher with Kamehameha | Large Star level, Solar System level with Super Saiyan transformations (Stronger than Shin in base, should be comparable to Goku after training with the Z Sword), far higher after having his potential unlocked (Easily overpowered and toyed with Super Buu, who matched Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and who should be superior to Super Saiyan 3 Goku^{[Statistics Values 9]}), Varies, up to far higher with Kamehameha

Lifting Strength: Unknown

Striking Strength: Planet level,^{[Statistics Values 1]} higher as a Great Ape^{[Statistics Values 2]} | Planet level^{[Statistics Values 3]} to Small Star level^{[Statistics Values 4]} | Large Star level,^{[Statistics Values 5]} Solar System level with Super Saiyan transformations^{[Statistics Values 6]} | Large Star level,^{[Statistics Values 7]} Solar System level with Super Saiyan transformations^{[Statistics Values 8]} | Large Star level, Solar System level with Super Saiyan transformations, far higher after having his potential unlocked^{[Statistics Values 9]}

Stamina: Superhuman (Gohan can train for days with minimal rest and continue to fight against opponents such as Frieza and Cell even after being beaten around and essentially tortured. He kept up his battle with Super Buu even as he was overpowered.)

Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters as a Great Ape, Planetary with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range, Planetary with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range, At least Planetary to Stellar (Comparable to Vegeta, whose Final Flash can easily extend into outer space) to Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range, At least Planetary to Stellar to Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks

Standard Equipment: None notable

• Optional Equipment: Earth Dragon Balls

Intelligence: Gifted (While Gohan is not as experienced in combat as his father, he is still a skilled martial artist and an intelligent tactician. Trained in fighting and schooled throughout his entire life since the earliest years of his childhood, Gohan is a clever fighter capable of creatively utilizing his abilities. As a scholar tutored throughout his life, Gohan is competent and insightful, having an in-depth understanding of the metaphysical mechanics of ki itself)

Weaknesses: Gohan has an explosive temper that can flare up suddenly and cause him to act irrationally, but he is generally a pacifist who despises fighting. Due to this, he often keeps his true power restrained to avoid harming others. As a Super Saiyan 2 and after first getting his potential unlocked, Gohan was prone to arrogance, even dipping into ruthlessness during his battle with Cell and seeking to prolong his suffering as retaliation for his crimes. He needs a moon to transform and loses control of himself as a Great Ape. He never trained the weakness away; his tail is a vulnerable point and grabbing or removing it will cause him intense pain.
