Editing Gohan (section)

==Abilities==
Gohan possesses superhuman strength and durability,<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 23, chapter 277</ref> as well as superhuman speed and reflexes, as seen during his training with his younger brother Goten. As a child, Gohan is depicted with an immense amount of hidden potential, which at first only revealed itself when he experienced fierce rage or distress.<ref name="ReferenceA">''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 1, chapter 9</ref><ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 2, chapter 12</ref> The vastness of this potential is shown consistently throughout the series as he ages and learns to master his powers from constant training and battles, the earliest example was during his short fight with Raditz.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Gohan's potential was unlocked twice in the series: first by the Namekian Grand Elder,<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 7, chapter 77</ref> and then further unlocked by  the Old Kaiō-shin,<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 25, chapter 294</ref> which sees his power level rise to new heights, capable of easily overwhelming the seemingly invincible Majin Buu.<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 25, chapter 303</ref>

As a Half-Saiyan, he has the ability to become an Oozaru, a gigantic ape-like creature, by absorbing waves from a full moon. He lost this ability after his tail was cut by Piccolo,<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 2, chapter 14</ref> and later Vegeta.<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 4, chapter 46</ref> He was the third youngest Saiyan to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation at the age of nine whilst training and surpassing his father Goku in the Room of Spirit and Time (Hyperbolic Time Chamber)<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 16, chapter 188</ref> and as a display of his hidden potential which he unlocked during his training with his father, Gohan becomes the first Saiyan in the series to become a Super Saiyan 2 during his battle against Cell. Though Gohan had gotten much weaker due to making the mistake of not training after the Cell Games, he became stronger than he ever has after his potential was unlocked from Old Kaiō-shin. Gohan with this power up was stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks since he was able to dominate Super Buu with ease without transforming.

Ever since this fight, Gohan has given up on fighting and has continually gotten weaker to the point that he can't use his Super Saiyan transformations without straining himself. Gohan can still hold his own against Frieza's soldiers, Shisami, and Tagoma in his base form and overpower them when he transforms into a Super Saiyan. After Frieza's attack on Earth, Gohan returned to training with Piccolo. During his training with Piccolo before the start of the Tournament of Power, Gohan is pushed beyond his limits and manages to unlock his hidden power once again, becoming stronger than ever before. After this, he has shown that he is now able to combat foes of God-level might, having been able to hold his own in a sparring match against his father Goku in his Super Saiyan Blue form, and hold his own against Frieza in his Golden Frieza form. In the manga, Gohan manages to stalemate the fused fighter, Kefla.

Once again awakening his power through immeasurable fury, upon unlocking the so-called {{nihongo|"Beast" state|ビースト|Bīsuto}}, Gohan was completely unaffected by Cell Max's attacks and easily defeated him. Gohan in this new form was stated to be the strongest fighter on Earth, and is said to be even stronger than Broly.<ref>{{cite news

Gohan has the ability to freely manipulate a life-force energy known as ''ki'' to fly using {{nihongo|''Bukū-jutsu''|舞空術||"Air Dance Technique"}}.<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 6, chapters 61-62</ref> He can also concentrate his ''ki'' to fire blasts of energy, such as the {{Nihongo|''Kamehameha''|かめはめ波||lit. "Kamehame Wave"}}, inherited from his father, or the {{nihongo|''Masenko''|魔閃光|Masenkō|lit. "Demon Flash"}}, taught to him by Piccolo.<ref>''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 20, chapter 233</ref> In addition to this move, his training with Piccolo inherited Gohan his other techniques, such as the {{nihongo4|''Makankōsappō''|魔貫光殺砲||lit. "Demonic Piercing Light Cannon", "Special Beam Cannon" in the English dubs}} in a number of video games, before properly using it in the main series continuity, against Cell Max.<ref>''Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero''</ref> He has displayed the use of his ''ki'' in a defensive manner, such as generating protective energy shields. Both as a child and an adult, Gohan is known to be a capable swordsman, as well as an adept teacher.
