Battlefield Advantage!
Last one of these for awhile! It's time to discuss Gohan and the Martial Arts along with The Attacks Gohan Uses!
Gohan and the Martial Arts
Gohan is a skilled martial artist. From the ages of four to eleven, he trained as often as he could! Be it alone in the cliffs with dinosaurs chasing him (aka Piccolo fails at childcare), or stuck in the room of Spirit and Time, a magical place where one day to the outside world lasts a whole year on the inside.
No, really.
He is superfast and superstrong. The comment made during the Cell Games is that no one can follow the moves made by either Cell or Goku except Gohan --- that's how fucking fast these hits are. Ten minutes lasting twenty episodes is nothing new.
He's used to pressure-filled battles where the fate of millions of innocent people is at stake, and usually a planet or two as well. Bonus points if the entire galaxy is in danger and he's the only one prepared to fight the oncoming evil.
Ahh... I believe the form he is most used to is kumite. The mun has no idea what the hell that means, but! He likes to spar and can easily adapt to new styles. It's part of hid godmodly genes.
The Attacks Gohan Uses!
As previously mentioned, Gohan uses energy blasts/ki/chi attacks. He can defend and block against many of these attacks himself, although it's always amusing when he or anyone else breaks through a cliff wall and destroys a mountain because the opponent's power level is too high.
And! I use the dub names. This is because I grew up with the dub and remember it very well~. If push comes to shove, I may even include some of his ridiculous attacks from the PS2 games, though that probably won't happen. Videl's Close Call, however, is the best attack ever.
Destructive Wave - Blast shot with one hand, the other supporting the wrist to keep it steady. Created by Piccolo.
Masenko - Gohan's signature attack! With his palms facing outward, he crosses his arms above his head to form the initial blast. To fire it, he spikes it, I suppose you could call it, down in front of his body, similar to the...
Kamehameha - This is the move Goku learned back in his Dragon Ball days from Master Roshi. Everyone who trained under Roshi knows this move, but it's always been connected with Goku, whom taught it to his eldest son who, in turn, taught his younger brother and quite possibly his daughter. The ball of energy is formed by rounding it in his hands and pulling them to the right side of his body before firing at the enemy.
Super Kamehameha - More energy is put into this one. It's just about the same. Perfected by, of course, Goku.
Continuous Ki Attack - Exactly what it sounds like. Dozens of small blasts shot in rapid succession.
Many times, the Son men combine their power to form the ultimate Kamehameha attack. When godmoders come together, there is no stopping it, and this is generally the ultimate finishing move of the ultimate destiny.
.... Okay! That should do it for now.
AS OF THE END OF THE SERIES, Gohan is the single most powerful fighter in the known universe. Yes, he is stronger than Buu. It's only because of his editors that Toriyama didn't have Gohan obliterate Buu into smithereens! You cannot win in a physical fight. I AM SORRY. But he is practically invulnerable.
