He trained under Piccolo for one year, then went to Planet Namek for one year. When Future Trunks arrived, Gohan was 7. In the Cell Series, Gohan trained for three years in preparation of the androids. At 10, he trained for another year in the Room of Spirit and Time in Sky Palace. At 11, Gohan killed Cell. Gohan entered Orange Star High School at the age of 16.

  • Kami was over 900 years old when he fused with Piccolo.
  • The Boo Series takes place 7 years after the Cell Series.

Characteristics

  • When Future Trunks first appears, Vegeta doubts that he is a Saiyan because he has purple hair. He says that Saiyans have black hair.
  • In an episode, Vegeta says that a pure breed Saiyan is born with a hair style and remains with that hair style for the rest of his life. He says that it cannot be changed.
  • Gokou and Vegeta are full breed Saiyans and are born with tails. Gohan is a half breed Saiyan, but he also is born with a tail.
  • Nameks are classified into two groups: healers and warriors. Healers can heal anyone, but can't fight. Warriors can fight, but can't heal.

Fusion

  • The guardian of the Earth split into 2 forms: Kami (pure good) and Daimoa (pure evil). Daimoa had a son, Piccolo, who fused permanently with Kami.
  • Piccolo also permanently fused with Nail.
  • The fusion technique used by Goten and Trunks to form Gotenks is temporary and can only last for 1/2 hour.
  • The fusion technique used by Gokou and Vegeta to form Vegetto is permanent, but the effects were cancelled out when he was eaten by Boo.
  • Fat Boo separated into two Boos. The evil Boo was killed and reincarnated into Ubuu. When good Boo was killed by Vegeta-Bebi, his particles fused with Ubuu.
  • When Goten fused with Trunks to form Gotenks, Gotenks ended up wearing the fusion suit, as did Ubuu when he fused with Boo.


Life

  • Granpa Gohan found Baby Gokou on Mount Paozu.
  • Gokou lived on this mountain until he met Bulma. Afterwards, he moved from place to place.
  • Gokou moved back to Mount Paozu after he married Chi-Chi.
  • At first, Chi-Chi wanted to name Gohan "Einstein".
  • Gokou moved to Sataan City later for Gohan's education.
  • Gokou and Chi-Chi never went to work.
  • Vegeta grew up moving place to place destroying life on planets.
  • Bulma's father, Dr. Briefs, was the head of Capsule Corporation. This explains why Bulma is so rich and why she has and knows such advanced technology.
  • Trunks became the president of Capsule Corporation when he grew up.
  • Nameks live on nothing but water. They do not need to eat.
  • Nameks reproduce asexually. This is shown when Daimao spits Piccolo out of his mouth.
