Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #26: Grandpa Gohan!

Grandpa Gohan

The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week we're taking a look at Goku's adoptive parent, top-class martial artist, and stunningly kind-hearted old man Grandpa Gohan!

Story

Grandpa Gohan was once the top student of Kamesennin's Kame school of martial arts.
His deep kindness was exemplified when he decided to adopt and raise Goku when he stumbled upon him as a baby.
Grandpa Gohan has been a resident of the Another World since tragically losing his life to a rampaging Goku in his Great Ape form.
However, upon Goku's visit to Uranai Baba's Palace, Grandpa Gohan was granted passage back to the world of the living for 1 day only to fight for Uranai Baba. With his identity concealed, he clashed with his beloved adoptive son as the 5th and final warrior in the fortune teller's challenge.
