About

Teen Gohan is a playable character representing the adolescent version of Gohan during the Cell Games saga. He appears across the Dragon Ball Z Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi fighting game franchises released between 2002 and 2007. In these games, his gameplay typically features his iconic Super Saiyan 2 transformation and the Father-Son Kamehameha ultimate attack.

Throughout the progression of these fighting game series, the character's mechanical implementation evolved alongside the hardware. In the 2.5D fighting system of Dragon Ball Z Budokai (2002) and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 (2003), players customize his abilities using the "Capsule System," equipping skills like the Masenko. By Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 (2004) and its Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 - Édition Collector (2005), his gameplay integrated the Dragon Rush and Hyper Mode mechanics, emphasizing high-speed aerial combat.

The transition to the 3D camera perspective in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi (2005) redefined his playstyle, utilizing vast, destructible environments. In Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (2006) and Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (2007), his moveset expanded to include distinct giant-ki blasts and teleportation counters. Across these titles, players can select various cosmetic appearances, such as his purple Piccolo-style training gi or his Saiyan battle armor. His story mode battles consistently recreate pivotal narrative moments, requiring players to defeat Cell to unlock his full roster potential.
