Son Gohan (孫悟飯, Son Gohan) is a main character in Dragon Ball.

A Saiyan/Earthling hāfu, Gohan is the son of Son Goku and Chi-Chi, and is introduced as a spoiled toddler with an unfathomable amount of hidden potential. Unlike his father, Gohan is a brilliant scholar and lacks a passion for fighting, but due to the various threats to the Earth, he spends much of his life participating in its defense, often helping to turn the tides when the dormant depths of his power are unleashed.

Gohan is initially trained by his father's former nemesis Piccolo, before training together with Goku in the Room of Spirit and Time, and later under the Eastern Kaiōshin in the Sacred Kaiōshin Realm, ultimately becoming one of the strongest characters in the series.

Possessing a bottomless[5] amount of hidden potential, awakened by his rage, Gohan is the first to unlock a level beyond that of a regular Super Saiyan, and is among the most well-known characters of the series. He is the husband of Videl and father of the quarter-Saiyan Pan.

Ultimate

Ultimate (アルティメット（究極), Arutimetto) is a transformation achieved after having his potential unlocked by the Elder Kaiōshin through his potential unlocking ritual. When accessing this form, Gohan experiences subtle differences, looking identical to his normal base state but with slightly more upright and rigid hair, sterner eyes, and the addition of a lock of hair hanging down over his forehead in the Dragon Ball Super anime and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.

In the original Dragon Ball manga and Dragon Ball Z anime, the power-up is introduced as a permanent transformation that allows Gohan to use the power of Super Saiyan 2 in tandem with his unlocked latent potential at their highest level without placing limitations on Gohan's body, and, most importantly, without the anger or the loss of energy typically required to sustain his forms,[2] thus eliminating the need for the Super Saiyan forms. In addition to the Elder Kaiōshin's unlock ability granting Gohan full access to all his developed capacities, Gohan is capable of pushing his power well-past those levels, as in this transformation, the full extent of his dormant capacities are fully unleashed for him to use at his fingertips by simply raising his ki. As Ultimate is a harnessed manifestation of his natural power, Gohan is able to maintain this form indefinitely throughout his daily life unhindered.

With Ultimate, he could easily overwhelm Super Boo, a foe that the incredibly powerful Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks was near even with, but was outmatched by Super Boo after having absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo.

Beginning with Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, the Ultimate form is seemingly treated as a transformation Gohan is capable of transforming in and out of from any previous state, and requires regular training to properly access it and thus becomes weaker over time with lack of training like any other. During which, his diminished self can only access this form while maxing out his power, as seen in Super Hero, while also causing his hair to spike up like Super Saiyan.

Beast

Son Gohan Beast

Gohan Beast[9] (孫(そん)悟(ご)飯(はん)・ビースト, Son Gohan Bīsuto)[10] is an evolution of the Ultimate form unique to Gohan awakened through rage as a result of witnessing Piccolo's apparent death at Cell Max's hand. In this form, Gohan's eyebrows turn white, while his hair turns light gray and lengthens and lengthens considerably, bearing resemblance to his old Super Saiyan 2 hairstyle as a boy. His eyes become fully red with black pupils. Gohan's power is such that he effortlessly withstood a full power punch from Cell Max and defeated him without much difficulty.

The full potency of this form can only be achieved by using rage to swell the user's energy, and then retaining control.
