Son Gohan is the eldest son of Son Goku and Chi-Chi, and one of the primary heroes of the second half of Dragon Ball. Unlike his father, Gohan was a timid and studious child who lacked the Saiyan fighting spirit despite possessing enormous strength inside him. Nonetheless, Gohan spends much of his youth defending Earth with the rest of the heroes, eventually becoming one of the most formidable Z-Fighters. After reaching adulthood in peacetime, he finally fulfils his dream of becoming a scholar.
In Dragon Ball Super, Gohan has become a complete family man, being a devoted father and husband. Due to his devotion to his job and family life, he neglected his training which left him unprepared for Frieza's revenge. However, after witnessing the deaths of everyone he loved, he decided to train again and his determination to protect his new family helped him regain his strength and grow even stronger.

Gifted. While Gohan is not as experienced in combat as his father, he is still a skilled martial artist and an intelligent tactician. Trained in fighting and schooled throughout his entire life since the earliest years of his childhood, Gohan is a clever fighter capable of creatively utilizing his abilities. As a scholar tutored throughout his life, Gohan is competent and insightful, having an in-depth understanding of the metaphysical mechanics of ki itself. Trained in combat and schooled throughout his entire life since the earliest years of his childhood, Gohan is a clever fighter capable of creatively utilizing his abilities. By using his highly tuned senses and skill alone, he was capable of following Lavender's movements even after being blinded and use his ki as a radar. As a scholar, tutored throughout his entire life, Gohan is highly intelligent and knowledgeable as well, having an in-depth understanding of the metaphysical mechanics of ki itself. Due to his intelligence and skill, Goku appointed him as the Captain of Team Universe 7.

Gohan has an explosive temper that can flare up suddenly and cause him to act irrationally, but he is generally a pacifist who despises fighting. Due to this, he often keeps his true power restrained to avoid harming others. As a Super Saiyan 2 and after first getting his potential unlocked, Gohan was prone to arrogance, even dipping into ruthlessness during his battle with Cell and seeking to prolong his suffering as retaliation for his crimes. He needs a moon to transform and loses control of himself as an Oozaru. He never trained the weakness away; his tail is a vulnerable point and grabbing or removing it will cause him intense pain. He had not continued his training and as a result, was not even sure if he could turn into a Super Saiyan in the Resurrection F saga.

- Ki: The martial artist's fighting power and life force, substantial energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. Along with his Saiyan blood, Ki acts as the source of Gohan's incredible power and abilities. It can be used in several ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to increase strength immensely. It can be fired as blasts of energy or create defensive barriers. Gohan also had tremendous latent potential that could be unleashed whenever he felt intense anger. Even after getting his potential unlocked twice, Gohan still had room to grow further in power.
- Masenko: Gohan's original signature technique, which he learned from Piccolo. After placing both hands above his head with his palms facing his opponents, he fires a powerful ki blast. He can also throw it as an explosive energy sphere by charging it longer.
- Kamehameha: Goku's signature technique, which Gohan learned from his father during their training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Gohan's most powerful and famous use of this technique is the Father-Son Kamehameha, utilized alongside his father's spirit to destroy Cell for good.
- Kiai: The ability to project an invisible burst of force with ki, which Gohan can perform with his hands.
- Saiyan Physiology: The physiology of an aggressive warrior race of conquerors. Aside of their immense combat talent, Saiyans have the natural ability to control ki and to fly. While his lifespan is comparable to that of a human, Gohan will remain at his peak strength for much longer. A Saiyan's propensity to get stronger via battle allows Gohan to push his limitations continuously and reach new heights of strength. When Gohan recovers from a severe injury, this trait will significantly increase his power.
- Oozaru: When exposed to the light of the full moon, as long as he still has his tail, Gohan will transform the Oozaru, a massive, gigantic monkey with far greater power. However, this comes at the expense of his skill, turning him into a violent, mindless monster who cannot differentiate between friend and foe.
- Super Saiyan: The mythical transformation of a Saiyan that enables them to dramatically exceed their limitations and attain the fabled state of a Super Saiyan. Gohan attained this form while practicing in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with his father. These transformations are possible only after experiencing and regulating great emotional upheaval. They cause the user to become more violent and vicious due to Saiyans' inherent aggression. Though Gohan's human side and training enable him to transcend this nature, his first transformation into a Super Saiyan 2 resulted in him developing a cruel streak due to profoundly intense anger. While super Saiyan transformations are powerful, they use great energy. The first was inefficient until Gohan attained mastery of the condition and became a "Full Power Super Saiyan," enabling him to sustain it passively.
- Potential Unleashed: Gohan's ultimate form gained after having his final potential unlocked by Old Kai's lengthy ritual. It vastly increases his power by opening his dormant strength. This state surpasses the strength of Super Saiyan 3 Goku and even Gotenks. In this form, Gohan is often known as Mystic Gohan or Ultimate Gohan
