>>56403382Anon, genuinely, the only times Goku is gone from Gohan's life he is literally dead or lost in space. And End of Z. End of Z does not count it's already been decanonized by Super, okay I know I don't count Super as canon for most other things and I'm cherrypicking but let's all just agree end of z is dumb stupid ooc bullshit because toriyama just wanted to wrap things up poetically but didnt end up liking it.
Goku is gone after
