==Story== |
|
|
Gohan was a loving and caring man who became the adoptive grandfather of ] when he found him near the landing site of Goku when he was a baby. When Goku first landed on Earth, his mission was to, in time, destroy the entire human race and sell the planet to another race. Being a Saiyan, who are known to be very aggressive and short-tempered, Goku was very uncooperative at first (In the ], he simply giggles as Gohan found him in the wilderness). But after falling into a ravine, Goku hit his head, causing him to lose his memory, and became a regular happy, loving boy. Gohan was taught martial arts by ] and passed on his knowledge to Goku. Gohan warned Goku to never look at a ] and to stay indoors on nights of one - implying that he had already transformed before and Gohan managed to survive the first time. He followed his advice for sometime until one night (as Goku explained to ], ], ] and ] what happens when he looks at a full moon while they were held in prison at Pilaf's castle) when Goku stepped outside to relieve himself. He then glanced at the full moon, transformed into an ], a gigantic ape, and went on a rampage. From that time on, Goku believed that Gohan's soul was in the Si Xing Qiu (Sūshinchū/Four-Star Ball). |

During the ], Goku, Yamcha, Muten-Rōshi, ], ], and ] must fight ]'s five fighters in order to find the last ]. Goku is the last one left to fight and Uranai Baba brings out a "special" fighter as her last. The last opponent is a mysterious man wearing a bunny mask. Master Roshi then realizes that that man is Goku's dead grandfather, Gohan. The others are baffled as to why he's just pounding and pounding on Goku. Gohan later comes forth to say that he was trying to make a point to Goku that he needs to train harder and make his tail work for him instead of against him. This is the last time Gohan is seen in the manga. |

|
|
Although filler, Gohan makes one more appearance in the anime during the ]. In the final two episodes of original ], Goku and ] have been in the middle of a quest to lower a new fire engulfing Fire Mountain with the Ox King trapped inside protecting Chi-Chi's wedding dress. Goku and Chi-Chi come upon the gateway between the living world and the next, making their way past numerous illusions, they find themselves in the cave of the Spirit Furnace. They end up meeting up with Gohan, whom Goku mistakes for being the legendary Tajoro. Gohan is actually a bodyguard for Anine, the true Tajoro, as well as protecting the lever that can turn off the Spirit Furnace. After a small scuffle with Anine, Goku is allowed to travel into the depths of the furnace where he's able to patch the leak. Goku bids a final farewell to his grandfather as he and Chi-Chi move on into the beginning of wedded bliss. |

While seen only through flashbacks, Grandpa Gohan appears quite a few times through out the DBZ series. Out of three known flashbacks, the first is when Roshi tells Goku of Gohan's story of finding him. Through this flashback, it's insinuated that Goku's first "off-screen" ] transformation occurred after his arrival upon Earth and following a first glimpse Gohan had of him (explaining why in '']'', Gohan picks up Goku to take home among leveled trees in daylight, in contrast to first seeing him in his infant ship at night, and also why he clearly knew of the transformation in the Dragon Ball series). Later, another flashback takes place where Goku recalls a pre-] moment of his grandfather warning him to never go outside on the night of a full moon. The final flashback of him comes much later in the series wherein Goku fondly remembers being found by Gohan (a sequence originally shown in the Bardock special, upgraded in animation in a ] color-tone) followed by a short sequence of Gohan's training that raised Goku into a boy "trained like steel". |
