Did he actually feel strongly about it or was he just brainwashed by chi chi? It didn't seem like she ever gave him a choice in the matter. Sure he said to piccolo he wanted it but that could just be his mother talking. Maybe that's the cause of his rage problem, the fact that chi chi was over controlling and damn right over bearing. He couldn't defy her and say no, so he couldn't act out his saiyan instincts and had to do the complete opposite. He goes on to become a success in that area but what if chi chi hadn't pushed him so hard and had given him more freedom. Would he have turned out more like his father? On a side note why didn't chi chi push goten to become a genius the same way she did gohan? He's initially much more like goku but grows up to become a slacker. |

Well how we turn out depends largely on upbringing anyway. From an early age though, Gohan was encouraged to study, so he ended up falling in love with it. In the movies he was shown being interested in his books, and he didn't like fighting too much. Not sure why though, he didn't resent his dad or anything. Maybe he just read that violence is not the way.... |

No Chichi fed it to him until he loved it. Originally he was just like any other kid until chichi decided since the day he was born to become a scholar and from that day on maths and learning and school was his adventure like goku except different. Pretty good huh. If she didn't push him he would be the strongest in the universe and would be a "muscle head like his father" he would be a bit smarter though.

Yeh but surely the only reason you like/dislike any activity is because of some environmental influence. Except for stuff like eating etc, which are needed to reproduce hence common in everyone. |

Yeah he was kinda afraid of a tiger when he saw one when goku was his age he would scuffle with it. Maybe it's the human side that keeps him from thinking about bashing someone up because he or her looked at him weirdly. and yeah it's maybe the environment he lived in. what's weird he was born with a huge power level and yet so different. maybe gohan is the saiyen of legend we may never find out..

It could of been the upbringing. Even Goku was fine with it his first 4 years in Gohan's life. Gohan had all the equipment, books and everything else around him including Chi Chi's strong influence on him to grow up and become a scholar. All he knew was his dad was a TB champ that defeated Piccolo, more than likely from hearing stories but still at a young age had a completely different mission to pursue that wasn't fighting. I think Goku would of had his back the whole way to be a scholar if situations didn't come up that dragged Gohan on the battlefield. The movies did show his love for studying a lot so in a way I guess that shows what he wanted and sometimes when he realizes he's been training a lot he decides to go back to studying for himself and for Chi Chi. Storm, I agree with you. I think Gohan is the prodigy that we will never know since he decided to take a different route and all I can do is respect him for that even though it woulda been Bad*** to see how he would of turned out as a serious fighter.

Of course. I've always felt like he could of fit both into his schedule but, that just may not be who he is. |

Well that is gohan's human side worrying about time schedule and school. and the only trait he has of goku is his will for food his braveness and and the super saiyen thing and his care freeness. and his saiyen traits is going gold and being powerful and that's it. we should do one about goten next. |

YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE HAD IT WITH LOSING ALL THESE POSTS!!!!!! sorry .... yeh um.... Goten....his dad is a martial arts champion, his older brother is a genuis....and his best friend/family friend is part of a multinational corporation's executive family. He can just sit around all day. Just stay away from the drugs Goten. Yeh I think Gohan is a legendary fighter really. That's what he was meant to be, the naturally strongest saiyan ever, but then they did the whole Broly thing. Really Gohan with training would be unmatchable (excluding Buu with absorptions and Metamoran fusions). Only Cell perhaps would stand a chance. Even Vegito I wouldn't bet on.... |

How do you know Goku would scuffle with a tiger? Gohan was 4. Goku was a preteen when he was introduced and had been taught to hunt, fish, and the like by his grandpa. Gokus first serious fight comes at 12, Vegeta fights the saibaman for training at 10, and Gohan is forced to fight with Piccolo and the Saiyans at 5. At 5 years old Gohan did what Goku could do but better on every scale, and he was smarter about it as well as a person and fighter. He was able to sense energy and follow it at 5 in minutes while it took Popo months to get Goku to understand the concept. He was able to hunt and gather at 4 by knowing how to cook meat and what fruits to eat. In filler he even builds a raft based off concepts his books taught him as a 4 year old. He was able to deceive scouters as a toddler by pushing hi pl to 0 while Goku couldn't hide half that much energy at 24. As much as Chi Ci gets grief, Gohans understanding of concepts and skills immediately comes from his comprehension skills that she hammered into him. the only people who got things as quick as him are Piccolo and Vegeta actually. You can even argue that it was because Chi Chi developed his brain, Goku was able to reach his mind as an ape and get him to actually attack Vegeta on command as that by Vegetas admission takes great mental strength to do. Mental strength Goku never possessed outside GT Edited by Kblo247, Sep 6 2012, 01:24 AM.

Makes you wonder if Goku was smarter before the brain injury or would have been smarter

Well he never really liked fighting despite being raised on it since he was 4 years old. I'm sure Chichi had some effect on him, but that happens to every kid. He wasn't "Brainwashed" he was just raised that way. |

Well, in the manga there wasn't anything suggesting that Chi-Chi "brainwashed" Gohan into wanting to become a scholar before he was old enough to like anything for himself. Gohan himself did want to pursue life as scholar, but the combination of anime filler and dub errors made it seem like he didn't want to. Also, about Goten. I can assume Goku's second (and permanent) death had taken a big effect on her. She must have felt like the biggest ***** in the world since she's been keeping Gohan from the battlfield all this time, and had realized she was too harsh with Gohan thus causing her to feel that it'd be more important for Goten to learn martial arts than study, so in order of defending himself and preventing a situation like that from happening again (this actually became a popular theory over Chi-Chi's leniency with Goten over time). You'll noticed she doesn't get so bent out of shape over Gohan fighting, nor does she push him half as hard study as she used to. She even allowed him to miss a whole month of school so he can participate in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, something of which Pre-Cell Saga Chi-Chi would never let him do.
