A decent fight, but definitely drawn out. They hinted at it for a while, but they finally revealed that Goku is fighting Gohan. I really want to see how Goku gets out of this mess.

I knew it, I was right that he'd be son Gohan! Damn nice character development! Lets see what's next and lets hope Goku wins for the sake of the dragonball location!

Roshi took his time figuring it out.

He trained the guy right? Because if it wasn't a long, long time ago you would think he would have figured out it was Gohan sooner. Then again, there is no telling how many Students Roshi has had since.

Yep master Roshi was Gohan's Teacher. Just goes to show how far down in the generations and how legendary Muten roshi really is in the eyes of the world.

If you think bout it, Goku's son later on is named after his grandpa as well. Yes this is a spoiler but i highly doubt anyone has not seen DBZ

Strangely enough, it's weird as hell for me to see a character named Gohan who isn't the character you are referring to.

I haven't! Missed out on the whole franchise in my childhood. Decided to start catching up in chronological order starting from this series.

Same, this is my first time watching Dragon Ball. I'll watch DBZ after finishing this.

This is a clash of superlatives: Son Goku vs. the legendary Son Gohan himself, Son Goku's grandpa!

In all honesty this is one of the most enjoyable fights in the series so far, a bit more serious then a lot of the other gag heavy battles.

I KNEW IT!!! It was the only possible person. Should be interesting how Goku gets out of this one.

That Kamehameha reveal! No one else could've mastered that technique but Roshi's students, and who else but Son Gohan. That was when I figured it out at least. That was really well done, although I felt it was too obvious at that point to have reason for that long suspenseful reveal on who he was.

People love spoiling DBZ on here, I know it's crazy, but a lot of people really haven't seen it. Essentially every thread breaks the rule of no manga spoilers past this point, and if I could I would make the first post on the first thread: "DO NOT LOOK AT THESE DISCUSSIONS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN DBZ". I will make sure to tell any friends who haven't seen DBZ to steer away from these, sadly.

what happened to when someone did the kamehameha they'd get all muscley because of all the power they were creating? i get it wouldn't really make it as usable as it is right now but come on, it was cool

This was a very well done fight, one of the top duels for me, for sure, right up there behind Goku Vs. Master Roshi. It was just so cool. I knew it, the seemingly old man behind the rabbit mask is Gohan, Goku's grandpa. They were throwing and sprinkling hints here and there that it was just too obvious. He is an excellent fighter, as expected of a fellow student of Master Roshi. I wonder how he looks like, though.

I do have to say that Goku's tail, while it proved to be of great help in many situations, also serves as a huge downside once someone gets a hold of it. Goku ought to develop something, anything, to protect his weakness, lest he wounds up in tough spots like right here.

I knew it! I had it on my tongue since the beginning, but couldn't quite figure it out. Then he revealed his mastery over the kamehameha - that's when it became obvious to me. Well, this is an interesting fight - quite suspenseful.

Yes!!! I knew it!!!

It is Gohan, Gokus Grandpa. I suspected him because he was only familiar to Goku and Roushi. Roushi took it long to understand. I wonder what happened to him.

Gohan is still strong enough to combat with Goku in equal. However Goku almost defeated him until Gohan used the only weakness of Goku.

I hope that Gohan will help Goku to get over from his weakness.

Awesome episode! Even though I knew who it was, it did not matter in the least. So glad I'm revisiting this series.

Great fight and reveal! It's been a long time since I've seen DB that I've forgotten how some things have gone, like I don't remember how Goku gets out of this predicament but it took me almost as long as Master Roshi to figure out who the mysterious fighter was. Been enjoying these fights from the Fortuneteller Baba saga.

One of the best fights yet, especially since the series became more battle centric. Since the past fighters of this arc were halloween monsters and ghouls it makes sense for the one at the very top to be a ghost/reincarnation of Gohan himself
