Ten Facts About Gohan in each Saga
In the Saiyan Saga...
1.- He never hated Vegeta, he really tried, he really wanted to hate him
for his friends but he just couldn't, maybe he was just a child, maybe he wasn't
ready.
Gohan was playing with little five-year-old Trunks
in Capsule Corp. He, his mother and baby brother were visiting Bulma.
- Hey! - He listened the voice of a man. - Want to
fight? - Vegeta asked
- err... we were just leaving. - And they were, he
was just saying goodbye to the boy.
- Was Cell the only one worthy of your efforts? I
knew you weren't a real warrior. You must be glad your father is dead so he
can't see what you're becoming. - And he left to train.
Gohan smiled.
2.- Watching Piccolo die was more painful than watching his own father die,
at least that very first time, only Videl knows.
They were laying in their bedroom, talking about
the stuff married people talk about.
- You've never told me how you became a fighter,
how did it start? - Videl asked, trying desperately not to let her housband
fell asleep.
- I think it started with a very bad guy trying to
get my father into murdering or something. - He joked, he never ever though of
Raditz as his uncle, he always was the "very bad guy". - He killed my
dad for the first time.
- So that's why you were trained by Piccolo, right?
Why? I mean, couldn't your father trained you after bringing him back to life?
What was the rush? - Now there wasn't only the need to have someone to talk
during her sleepless night, she really wanted to know.
- Well, we were kind of threatened by some bad guys
that wanted to destroy the Earth, you know, the usual. - He smiled at her, she
still wanted to know some more. - They gave us one year for training and my dad
was dead, he was getting back to life but we couldn't spend time so Piccolo
trained me, he though I had... talent.
- What happened with those guys?
- Well, the Earth is save, right? - But he knew
that wouldn't feed Videl's curiosity enough - My dad killed one of them, the
other one is Vegeta. - He paussed after Videl's gasp. - They fought and after
some... events, he defeated Vegeta but let him escape, my dad saw something we
didn't, I don't know. During that battle only my dad, Kuririn and I survived.
Piccolo-san died trying to protect me. - He said almost in a whisper, it didn't
hurt, it's more a memory than something to regret since they were all alive but
he still wondered ever since why he didn't move. He waited before continue. - I
mean, I watched my dad died when I was four but watching Piccolo, my teacher,
die because of me, that pain made me forget all about my dad, at least in that
moment.
And they both fall asleep.
3.- Before starting to fight he knew he wasn't ready but couldn't let
Piccolo down.
- They are here. The came earlier than I though. -
Piccolo said
Gohan froze. He tried to remember his training, he
tried to remember everything Piccolo had taught him but all he could see in his
mind was his crying, his fears.
And he knew, he wasn't ready.
And he wanted run and he wanted to scream. And then
he saw his master, standing there, fearless and he couldn't run.
4.- It wasn't the fear of dying what made him freeze during the battle, it
was the fear of never seeing his mother again.
- Do it now, Gohan! - Piccolo was shouting at him.
- Now!
But what if I fail? what if this doesn't work? We
will die, I will die. - The five year old boy thought. - I am not my father, I
am not Piccolo-san
- Gohan! - He heard Piccolo's voice in the distance.
- And I won't see my mother again...
5.- He wanted to be like his father, that's why he didn't run away from the
training.
And there was his mother, doing what mothers do.
There was his house as warm as always, he could even feel it in the distance.
And there was he, almost in home, in his mother's arms, in his childhood once again
where nothing really matters and where they could be like they were before...
but his dad was still dead. They can't be like they were before, they will
never be. No matter what, he had to fight, he had to be strong, he had to be
his father's son.
6.- And suddenly he wanted to be like Piccoro, that's why he didn't run
away from the battle.
- Come one, Gohan, let's go. Goku can manage this,
we have to trust him. - He heard Kuririn. Nevertheless he stopped in the air.
Looking in the opposite direction, where his dad was fighting.
Even now, as an adult, as a father himself, Gohan
doesn't really know if he believed or not, he can barely remember what his
friend said, all he remembers is that while they were flying he suddenly heard
Piccolo's voice.
He came back.
7.- He still can't believe what happen in the end of the battle, he doesn't
remember but his father told him in the hospital.
- So yeah, you kind of defeated Vegeta. - He saw
through his father's smile. - You will do great in Namek.
- Yeah!. - And he smiled back. But he knew his
father was only trying to make him feel better.
He knew, his father was always the hero.
After Cell, he realized that being the hero isn't
good at all.
8.- When he woke up, he saw Chi-chi's face, he smiled but he wasn't as
happy as he thought he would be. Something was missed.
- Gohan, sweetheart, please wake up. - He was
trying to focus, was that... his mother?
- Mom...- a weak voice said. The battle was over.
- My little son... - And there he was finally with
his mom, he turned to see his dad, he wasn't dead. They were together. - But
Piccolo-san is still dead, right? - He whispered.
- What? - Asked Chi-Chi.
- Nothing...
9.- Since the moment he woke up and realized they had won, he knew his life
would never be the same.
Gohan listened while they were talking about Namek
and they way to resurrect the others. He saw Bulma doing some math. He suddenly
felt the need to to do some math, he tried to picture himself as the great
scientist he always wanted to be.
He couldn't.
Then he saw over his father. He tried to picture
himself like the great fighter his father was.
He couldn't.
10.- When he saw his father in the hands of Vegeta, almost dead, suddenly
he was ready.
- Dad... - His father was lying in that monster's
hands, unconscious ? dead? No way! His dad can't die again!
And he felt it, the joy for the fight and the need
to protect his beloved ones.
He was only able to feel that one more time, when
he was eleven, standing before Cell.
