Abilities
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. 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, such as when he becomes the first Saiyan in the series to become a Super Saiyan 2, the direct successor to the Super Saiyan transformation, during his battle against Cell. Gohan's potential is then fully unlocked by Elder Kai, which sees his power level rise to new heights, capable of easily overwhelming the seemingly invincible Majin Buu.
Gohan can also freely manipulate his "Ki" him to fly, or concentrate it into beams of Ki blasts, such as the Kamehameha or the Masenko (魔閃, Masenkō?, lit. "Demon Flash"). Gohan also possesses superhuman strength, as well as superhuman speed and reflexes, as seen during his training with his younger brother Goten. Gohan can also use his Ki in a defensive manner, such as generating protective energy shields.
