Seven years had drifted by since the conclusion of the Cell Games. Gohan, the young warrior who had ascended to Super Saiyan 2 at the age of nine to save the planet, had traded his gi for a school uniform. Now sixteen, he navigated the complexities of being a high school student—a stark contrast to the life-or-death battles of his youth.
During these peaceful years, the Son family had also grown. The video frame shifted to reveal a child who looked like a mirror image of a young Son Goku. To clarify any confusion—no, Chi-Chi had not been unfaithful after Goku's passing.
This was Son Goten, Goku's second son, conceived in the quiet days leading up to the Cell Games. It seemed Goku took his "three days of rest" quite literally; Goten was the miracle of those six nights of reprieve.
The narrator added a cheeky side note: while many in the multiverse joked that Baki's girlfriend, Kozue, must possess an "Oni Chin" to endure the physical impact of a fighter like Baki, the true titles belonged to Chi-Chi and Bulma. After all, they were the ones successfully withstanding the "impact" of Saiyan warriors like Goku and Vegeta!
"Wait, besides Gohan, I have another son?" Goku's voice echoed with pure surprise. "I'm going to have a little brother?" Gohan asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. Chi-Chi's face turned a deep shade of crimson. "A second child named Goten? Oh my..."
The Son family was caught completely off guard, but the news was met with joy. "Congratulations, Goku!" Krillin cheered. "That kid is a spitting image of you. There's no doubting the lineage there." "Yeah," Yamcha added with a nostalgic smile. "Seeing him takes me right back to when we first met you, Goku." Bulma sighed, her eyes softening. "Little Son-kun... those truly were the golden days."
While the old friends reminisced, Bulma and Chi-Chi couldn't help but blush at the narrator's "Oni Chin" remark. They understood the suggestive implication perfectly and felt a bit flustered being teased on a multiversal scale.
Meanwhile, in the world of Baki, the protagonist was utterly bewildered. "Kozue has an Oni Chin? Is she part of the Hanma bloodline too?" Baki scratched his head, his "Oni Brain" failing to process the joke. He remained blissfully innocent of the narrator's double entendre, focusing purely on the biological mystery.
Back in the wider multiverse, the focus shifted back to the power scaling. "Could this Super Saiyan 3 be connected to Goten?" Sengoku mused. "Could a child that young reach such a height?" "If he did," Garp laughed, "he'd be putting his brother to shame!" "It's possible," Kakashi added, "but Gohan reached the second stage at nine. Goten hitting the third at seven seems almost too outrageous, even for a Saiyan."
Ichigo Kurosaki weighed in with a more tactical theory. "Wait, the title said it can't be maintained while alive. Maybe Goku reached this form in the Other World after he died?" "Can you still fight after dying?" Naruto asked, confused.
"In my world, definitely," Ichigo replied confidently. Cao Yanbing's eyes lit up. "In my world, the dead become Guardian Spirits. If Goku's descendants could summon him as a spirit, they'd be invincible! Not even the Hall of Heroes could stand against them."
Zhang Chulan reminded everyone, "Don't forget the last video. Goku basically 'rose from the dead' to help Gohan with that Father-Son Kamehameha. In the Dragon Ball world, death isn't the end—it's just a change of location."
The video continued, showing the aftermath of Cell's defeat. Earth had entered a golden age of peace. The Z Fighters had faded into the background, and Gohan was now living the life of an ordinary student in Satan City.
Because the public believed Mr. Satan was the one who vanquished Cell, they had renamed the city in his honor. Gohan, hiding his god-like Ki, played the role of the classic "campus romance" protagonist. He was the mysterious student concealing his identity, secretly fighting crime as a vigilante, and accidentally shocking his peers with "clumsy" displays of superhuman strength.
Naturally, his quiet charm attracted several girls, most notably the campus heroine: Videl. The narrator pointed out that Gohan was essentially the blueprint for every "overpowered hidden identity" male lead in future fiction.
In the Dragon Ball world, inside a martial arts dojo, Mr. Satan's jaw dropped. "Videl? My Videl?" His eyes bulged. "Does this mean Gohan is my future son-in-law? If that's true, I'd be in-laws with Son Goku!" The thought of having the world's most powerful warriors as family sent him into a fit of ego-driven delight. He turned to four-year-old Videl, who was busy playing nearby. "Videl, look! That boy is likely your future husband!"
The little girl just blinked, having no idea what a "husband" was, completely unaware that her future held a romance with a boy who could shatter planets.
