Seventh Universe, Earth, Capsule Corporation.
“Gohan! My Gohan!!”
Watching Gohan die from a pierced heart in the video.
Chi-Chi, the mother, felt as if her own heart had been pierced, overwhelmed with pain.
“This is just a video, this is just a video.”
Worried that Chi-Chi was too heartbroken, Bulma quickly held Chi-Chi's hand and reminded her softly:
“Gohan is fine, our Gohan is training with Piccolo right now.”
“No.”
Chi-Chi shook her head, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the video.
Gohan, who had already lost his life.
“Why didn't Gohan train often? It was all my request.”
“I’m the one who caused Gohan's death!”
Since Chi-Chi had never supported Gohan in training martial arts with his father, Goku, from a young age.
She had placed all her hopes on Gohan, hoping he would stay away from fighting and become a scholar.
Fighting, protecting Earth, all that stuff.
Goku and Vegeta could do it. That was Chi-Chi’s thought.
So now she blamed herself, believing her thoughts had bound Gohan.
That’s why Gohan in the video was killed by the villain...
“I’ve always stopped him from training, so his martial arts strength has regressed so severely.”
“If I hadn't stopped Gohan from training, he wouldn't have died in the video!”
“Don't say that, Chi-Chi.”
Bulma continued to comfort her, “Don't forget, Gohan's original dream was to be a scholar.”
“Besides, we have Dragon Balls and Senzu Beans, Gohan will come back to life, nothing will happen, don’t worry!”
“Yes, yes, we have Dragon Balls and Senzu Beans!”
Chi-Chi wiped away her tears, grabbing Bulma's hand.
“You're right, Gohan will be fine, he will come back to life!!”
“Yeah, yeah.” Seeing Chi-Chi feel better, Bulma also nodded with a smile.
At this moment, Chi-Chi's thoughts had changed.
She would never control Gohan again, nor would she stop him from training.
...................
Elsewhere, a rocky area.
“Uncle Piccolo, you don't have to say it, I know, I know everything!!”
“After the video ends, the difficulty of training directly increases tenfold! No, twentyfold!”
“I will train hard, I will never become like that in the video!!”
Seeing Piccolo turn to look at him, before he could speak, Gohan quickly spoke first.
He truly understood now.
Books can’t save Earth, books can’t defeat villains.
To protect those around him, to protect Earth.
He must become stronger, his strength must keep improving!
He also understood that becoming a scholar and training to become stronger didn’t conflict, he just needed to allocate his time well.
Becoming a scholar, becoming stronger, Gohan would do both from now on!

Seventh Universe, God of Destruction Realm.
“Huh?”
“He just died like that, Goku, your son?”
Beerus turned to look at Goku.
He didn't understand.
How could Goku’s son be so weak.
Let alone how he could have no reaction to that kind of energy.
Just take a look at Gohan's body.
How fragile could his body be to be pierced by that garbage energy?
“This! I, I don’t know......”
Goku himself was deeply involved, unable to believe it.
His son was actually killed like this.
“What a fool! Gohan, this kid!!”
Vegeta was also filled with rage, clenching his fist and gritting his teeth.
“If I hadn't wasted time with that trash!
If I had taken care of him earlier, wouldn't this have happened!”
He liked to say things to enemies in combat, hoping they would stop.
This is something Vegeta had reminded Gohan many times before.
Don't talk too much to your enemy in combat, don't bring kindness into battle.
That will only put you in danger!!
Stupid!!

Seventh Universe, Hell.
“What! What is going on!!”
Seeing Gohan being killed, Cell clenched his fist, his face filled with disbelief.
“That level of energy, how could Gohan not react!!”
“How could he be so easily pierced and die!?”
If the energy blast that pierced Gohan's body in the video was released by Frieza.
Then Cell could still accept it.
After all, Frieza did have great power, it’s normal to do something like that.
However, the one who pierced Gohan's body and killed him was just a small fry!
Someone far weaker than Frieza!
An ant!
Gohan, who had once killed him, was actually killed by such a villain.
This was something Cell couldn't accept!!
“Oh, seeing your reaction, did you and that guy have some kind of history?”
Seeing Cell's reaction so great, Frieza's curiosity was instantly aroused.
He wanted to know what happened between Cell and Gohan.
Frieza had never heard Cell mention it before.
“My death was caused by him!”
Cell glared at Gohan in the video and said, “Goku’s son, Gohan!”
“But, he doesn't look anything like he did back then!”
As he spoke, Cell's fists clenched tighter.
Recalling what happened back then, he said to Frieza,
“When he was young, he broke through due to anger.”
“Oh? He broke through due to anger?”
Frieza couldn’t help but chuckle, “That’s really similar! Our experience!”
Frieza knew all about this.
After all, he killed Krillin.
That caused Goku to break through in anger,
Transforming into a Super Saiyan for the first time.
