Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Super Saiyan Three

After changing the commands, Gohan immediately exited Dr. Gero's supercomputer.

West City — A Detached Villa

At this moment, a girl with twin pigtails was lying on the couch, playing the latest mobile game—Sheep a Sheep.

This girl was Videl.

A moment later, she failed the level.

Her face darkened.

She desperately wanted to beat up the person who created this game.

She had already been playing Sheep a Sheep for two full days. 

At first, she had been confident she could clear the second level, but to her horror, the game was absurdly difficult—random images, fake matches, and endless traps designed to trick players.

That Afternoon — Mount Paozu

After training for a while, Gohan and Trunks appeared on a grassy clearing.

"Gohan, what are you planning to do?"

"I want to try a new transformation."

"A new transformation?"

Gohan nodded and clenched his fists.

"Ha!"

With a shout, his aura exploded outward as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"S-Such powerful ki!" Trunks was startled.

Although he had seen Gohan transform before, that had been months ago.

Gohan's current strength was on a completely different level.

"Ha!"

Gohan clenched his fists again.

His aura surged violently, climbing higher and higher.

Zzzzt…

BOOM!!

With an overwhelming explosion of power, Gohan transformed into Super Saiyan Two.

Trunks' eyes widened.

It was the first time he had ever seen Gohan reach this form.

"So… this is Super Saiyan Two?"

Gohan nodded.

Reactions Across the Universe

West City — Bulma's House

Vegeta, who was training in the gravity chamber, froze the instant he sensed Gohan's ki.

His expression twisted in shock and rage.

He immediately stormed out of the chamber.

Master Roshi's Island

Krillin, who was training, also sensed it.

"S-Such terrifying ki… With power like that… even if I trained my whole life, I'd never reach it." He laughed bitterly.

"And Gohan is only eight years old…"

At that moment, Krillin truly understood the cruel truth.

Some people are born at the peak.

Others struggle their entire lives and never even reach the second step.

King Kai's Planet

King Kai and Goku both sensed the surge.

King Kai stared into the distance.

"Goku… do you think those Androids appearing two years from now will even be able to challenge Gohan?"

"No." Goku shook his head calmly. "But… I still want to fight them myself."

King Kai nodded.

Sacred World of the Kais

The Supreme Kai of the East and Kibito both stiffened.

"That… that ki is coming from Earth!" Kibito's voice trembled.

"And the one emitting it… is only an eight-year-old Saiyan."

"A Saiyan? But weren't the Saiyans wiped out by Frieza?"

"…Perhaps these are the last remnants."

Back on Earth — Mount Paozu

"Ha!!"

Gohan didn't stop.

His ki continued to rise.

"It's still increasing?!"

Trunks was stunned.

Super Saiyan Two was already beyond anything he imagined—yet Gohan wasn't finished.

BOOM!!

The ground across Earth shook violently.

The clouds above began racing across the sky.

"AHHH!!"

Gohan roared.

His golden hair grew long, flowing down to his waist.

His eyebrows vanished, his brow ridge pressing close to his eyes.

His pupils shifted, deepening in color, and his golden aura stabilized into a blazing, solid radiance.

This was—

Super Saiyan Three.

After completing the transformation, Gohan released the gathered ki around his body.

The world trembled.

Trunks stood frozen, his mouth hanging open.

"G-Gohan… is this the transformation you mentioned?"

Gohan nodded calmly.

"I call this form Super Saiyan Three."

"Super Saiyan… Three…"

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.

It was Goku.

"Dad!"

Goku nodded, staring at Gohan in disbelief.

"Gohan… is this a new transformation you've mastered?"

"Yes."

Gohan answered plainly.

"This is Super Saiyan Three."

Moments later, Vegeta, Piccolo, and the others arrived.

Their expressions were filled with shock.

"Gohan… this is your new Super Saiyan form?"

Tien asked.

"Yes."

Gohan nodded again.

"Super Saiyan Three."

Vegeta clenched his fists so tightly they trembled.

He hadn't even mastered Super Saiyan yet—

And Gohan had already reached the Three.

If Goku were also far ahead of him, Vegeta wasn't sure he'd even have the courage to keep training.

With a snort, he turned and left.

"Vegeta?" Krillin was stunned.

"Don't mind him," Goku said.

"He probably can't accept that Gohan is this much stronger, so he went back to train."

Krillin nodded silently.

Truthfully, he felt the same.

But Gohan was his junior.

He had to stay strong—for his sake.

"Phew…"

Gohan exhaled softly and returned to his base form.

Since they hadn't gathered like this in a long time, everyone chatted for a while before leaving.

Soon, only Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and Trunks remained.

"Gohan," Goku said with a smile.

"It's been a long time since we fought. How about a match today?"

"Okay."

Gohan nodded.

The two immediately flew into the sky.
