A New Life: Beyond the Battel

Seven years have passed since the Cell Games.

The world celebrates Mr. Satan as its greatest hero, never knowing that a quiet young boy named Son Gohan was the one who truly defeated Cell and saved the Earth.

Now, peace has finally arrived.

Vegeta trains the next generation. Bulma continues building Capsule Corporation. Chi-Chi raises her family in the mountains. Goten enjoys the carefree childhood Gohan never had.

And Gohan...

Tomorrow, he starts Orange Star High School.

For the strongest warrior on Earth, fighting monsters was easy.

Making friends?

Talking to classmates?

Fitting into a world of ordinary people?

That may be his greatest challenge yet.

As Gohan takes his first steps toward a normal life, unexpected friendships, quiet family moments, heartfelt memories, and an unforgettable meeting with the spirited Videl will slowly shape the teenager hidden beneath the legendary hero.

Set during the peaceful seven-year gap between the Cell Saga and the Buu Saga, Beyond the Battle: A New Life.
