Considering who he's married to, I doubt funding his research is of much concern.

Yeah, but I have a slightly harder time believing Gohan mooches off Mr. Satan as readily as Goku would. Gohan seems much more the type who'd prefer to make his own way financially.

Especially when he's so educated, it'd be so pointless for him to study all his life, only to end up mooching off his wife, giving little intensive to pursue any research. Unless he does it for fun, but even then, I never got that impression from Gohan. I always felt he studied because it was just a responsibility he had to do, and just so happened to be pretty smart.

Nah, I doubt that's his profession.

I think Rocketman may be onto something with the gigolo suggestion. Gohan certainly has the build. He wouldn't be the first gigolo to call himself a "scholar." It might even be the type he's listed as on the website between the "cowboy" and the "dungeon master". Johns will pay a pretty penny for a college educated ho, too. And I always felt Mr. Satan had a sort of pimp quality about him; I mean, it's possible, who knows. Probably not Videl.

Nope. Taken.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

No, that wasn't said anywhere.

Also, please avoid posting in threads that have been inactive for over a month. Here it would have been better to start a new thread asking this question.

I've been pondering the same thing. Something related to physics i assume. Overall he did A LOT of math homework his entire childhood.

Maybe he's a theoretical scientist?
