Earth.
Gohan pushed his Ki to its absolute limit.
"Rage!"
He clenched his teeth as memories from his previous life—endless pressure, exhaustion, and resentment—surged through his mind.
"AAAHHH—!"
With a thunderous roar, the land for tens of thousands of miles shook violently. A colossal cloud of dust erupted, swallowing the area around him.
"W-What?!"
Piccolo stared in shock.
He had thought Gohan's aura was already at its peak—but in the blink of an eye, it skyrocketed to a level far beyond Piccolo's reach.
Golden light flashed.
Gohan's hair turned brilliant gold and stood upright. His eyes shifted to a pale green as a blazing golden aura engulfed his body.
This was—
Super Saiyan.
"Wh… what is this?!"
Piccolo's voice trembled.
King Kai's Planet
"What—?!"
King Kai nearly jumped out of his skin.
"H-How is this possible?! Gohan's aura just multiplied dozens of times in an instant!"
"L-Lord Kai…!"
"That form… it's a Super Saiyan!"
"What's a Super Saiyan?"
"A legendary warrior of your Saiyan race—said to possess terrifying power. Even I've never seen one before today!"
"A legendary Saiyan…?"
"That's right!"
Back on Earth
Gohan slowly descended from the hill and walked toward Piccolo.
"You're… Gohan?"
"Yes, Uncle Piccolo."
"T-Then what's with the hair?"
"I think it's a Saiyan transformation."
"A Saiyan… transformation?"
Gohan nodded calmly.
"I call this form Super Saiyan."
"Super Saiyan…"
Piccolo stared at him in silence.
He couldn't help recalling their first meeting.
Back then, Gohan was small, timid, cried easily, and constantly complained.
Now, he stood calmly before him—his power unfathomable.
Piccolo felt a complicated mix of emotions.
Pride… because Gohan was his student.
And frustration… because the kid had surpassed him in just seven months.
Even Goku, back then, hadn't been this strong.
"What's wrong, Uncle Piccolo?"
"N-Nothing!"
Piccolo snapped back to reality.
"Gohan, you're strong now—but don't get complacent. Raditz's companions might include another Super Saiyan!"
"…Mm."
Gohan nodded seriously.
King Kai's Planet
King Kai twitched.
Does Piccolo think Super Saiyans grow on trees?!
"Lord Kai," Goku said, "I want to talk to Gohan and Piccolo."
"Sure. Put your hand on my back—you can speak to them telepathically."
Telepathic Connection
"Gohan… Piccolo… can you hear me?"
"G-Goku?!"
"Dad!"
"I can hear you," Piccolo replied.
"Gohan," Goku said warmly, "you're amazing. Becoming a Super Saiyan this fast…"
"Super Saiyan?"
Piccolo was stunned.
Didn't Gohan just come up with that name?
"Dad, are you okay over there?"
"I'm fine. You're strong now—but keep training. We don't know how powerful those Saiyans arriving in four months will be."
"Dad, should we resurrect you?"
"Not yet. Wait until they arrive—then bring me back."
"Okay!"
"All right. Talk later."
Goku withdrew his hand.
King Kai sighed.
"Actually, Goku, those Saiyans aren't nearly as strong as you think. With Gohan's current power, he could definitely beat them."
"I know."
Goku's expression was serious.
"You know?"
"I said that to push Gohan to grow even stronger."
"I see… Still, this kid's talent is terrifying. He's only five and already a Super Saiyan."
"If he keeps training… who knows how strong he'll become."
"Keep training…"
Goku suddenly thought of Chi-Chi.
She had always wanted Gohan to study and become a scholar.
Back on Earth
Just as the conversation ended, a figure descended from the sky.
It was Krillin.
Staring at golden-haired Gohan, he asked hesitantly,
"Y-You're… Gohan?"
"Yes, Uncle Krillin."
As he spoke, Gohan returned to normal.
Seeing this, Krillin finally smiled.
"It really is you… I never imagined you'd become this strong."
Gohan nodded.
"By the way, was that some kind of transformation?"
"The Super Saiyan transformation."
"Super Saiyan…"
Krillin swallowed.
"Ah—right! The gravity chamber is finished. I came to tell you!"
"Great!"
Gohan turned to Piccolo.
"Uncle Piccolo, do you want to come with me to Bulma's house?"
Piccolo glanced at him, then nodded.
Krillin's heart skipped a beat.
Bulma's still terrified of Piccolo…
But since Gohan asked, he had no choice.
"L-Let's go."
The three shot into the sky.
Capsule Corporation — Backyard
"P-Piccolo?!"
Bulma jumped up in fright.
Piccolo snorted coldly and said nothing.
Bulma immediately hid behind Krillin and whispered,
"Krillin, why did you bring him?!"
Krillin forced a smile.
"It wasn't my idea… Gohan wanted him to come."
"Gohan!"
"Aunt Bulma!"
Bulma put her hands on her hips and glared at him.
"You could've come alone! Why bring Piccolo?!"
Piccolo's sharp ears caught everything.
He shot her an annoyed look.
"Not happy to see me?"
