==Summary==
==Summary==
At the Son house, Gohan is leaving for school, and Chi-Chi says to watch out for planes. She’s holding the hand of a little boy who looks just like Goku, who thinks his big brother looks cool in disguise. Great Saiyaman says he’ll have Bulma make one for him, too, and that he can use Kinto-Un from now on.
[[Bulma]], now with really short hair, confirms that [[Gohan]] wants a complete transformation to hide his identity. Gohan asks if she can do it, and Bulma says of course; she is a genius after all. She will make an equippable transformation suit that turns into a [[Hoi-Poi Capsules|capsule]], and it will be about two hours until she is done. He thanks her, and then asks where [[Trunks]] is. Probably in the gravity room with [[Vegeta]]. He is at a good age to start training and learning fighting techniques, and he wants to become stronger than Gohan. Gohan bumps into [[Brief|Dr. Brief]] along the way, chatting about high school a bit. Then he bumps into Trunks, who is all sweaty from working out. Vegeta shows up, saying Gohan looks weak, and he needs to keep practicing even in these peaceful times. Vegeta then walks off, and Trunks wants to go play.


"The name of this little brother of Gohan’s, who looks just like Goku, is Goten. He is the second child that Goku left behind before the battle with Cell."
Some time passes, and Bulma is all finished. She has incorporated it all into a watch, and by pressing the red switch it will transform the wearer. Gohan has a helmet and a cape, just like a superhero. Gohan thinks he looks pretty cool, but Trunks does not think so... Gohan thanks Bulma, and flies home on ''[[Kinto'un]]''. On the way, Gohan realizes that if he travels to school while transformed, he can [[Bukūjutsu|fly]], which is faster than ''Kinto'un''. He transforms, and he really is much faster than ''Kinto'un''. He flies over [[Satan City]] and spots a car driving recklessly. He lands in the road, right in front of the car. The car screeches to a halt, and the driver yells at Gohan. But Gohan says, "I cannot allow such reckless driving!! A person could get run over!! Promise me that from now on, when driving within the city, you'll drive safely!!" The driver and passenger get out, one with a knife, one with a gun, and they wonder who the hell this weirdo is. Gohan has to think about that for a minute.


Gohan, meanwhile, arrives at school, landing on the roof and putting his disguise away. In the hallway, a kid asks if he’d heard that yesterday a new friend of justice arrived in town, and it wasn’t the Golden Warrior. The kid says he had goofy clothes, but he was very strong. Great Tireman or something. Gohan corrects him, saying he heard the name from a direct witness.
With a silly ''sentai''-style pose, he introduces himself as a lover of justice: Great Saiyaman! The bad guys make fun of him, and Gohan stomps the ground in anger, busting through the pavement. He put a lot of thought into that name, and they apologize, saying it is a cool name. Then they head off, saying they will practice safe driving from now on. "And so, this was how rumors of the new hero, Great Saiyaman, quickly spread throughout Satan City."


In class, Videl’s watch starts beeping. Apparently there was a robbery in Ransel Town, and the robbers are presently speeding down Route 81 toward the mountains. Videl tells the teacher she has to leave, and heads out. Erasa explains that Videl has a hobby as a friend of justice. She’s the daughter of Mister Satan, who saved the world, and the police ask for her help since she’s strong. Shapner says she’s much stronger than himself, and her strength rivals Mister Satan’s. Hearing that, Gohan realizes she’s in trouble. Shapner says this little city is blessed with three friends of justice, between the Great Whatever, the Golden Warrior, and Videl, as Gohan worries about Videl. Then Gohan suddenly blurts out a bathroom request, and rushes through the halls, up to the roof.

*[[Son Gohan]] ('''Debut''' as the Great Saiyaman)
As Great Saiyaman, Gohan realizes he doesn’t know where Route 81 is, so he sits on top of a building until he can feel Videl’s ''ki''. The robbers are being chased down the highway by two cop cars, and then fire a rocket launcher backward to blow both cars up. However, Videl’s plane lands on the road in front of them. She holds up some handcuffs, and tells them to throw down their weapons and come quietly. The big robber thinks that’s funny, but the little one recognizes her as Mister Satan’s daughter. The big one thinks this is interesting, and wants to fight her. He goes after her, but she jumps over him and kicks him in the face. Great Saiyaman feels her ''ki'' now. The big one gets up and swings at her, but misses, and Videl gives him a hard uppercut. He gets back up again, though, just as Great Saiyaman arrives (unnoticed). He thinks Videl really is strong, moreso than Mister Satan. She hits the guy a few more times, and he doesn’t get up. The little guy then gets mad and pulls out a gun, but Great Saiyaman steps in and knocks the gun away. Then he crushes the gun, and the guy freaks out, asking who he is. Great Saiyaman says he’ll tell him, on the next page.

"The Birth of a New Hero!!" is the four hundred and twenty-third chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1993 #25 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Bulma, now with really short hair, confirms that Gohan wants a complete transformation to hide his identity. Gohan asks if she can do it, and Bulma says of course; she is a genius after all. She will make an equippable transformation suit that turns into a capsule, and it will be about two hours until she is done. He thanks her, and then asks where Trunks is. Probably in the gravity room with Vegeta. He is at a good age to start training and learning fighting techniques, and he wants to become stronger than Gohan. Gohan bumps into Dr. Brief along the way, chatting about high school a bit. Then he bumps into Trunks, who is all sweaty from working out. Vegeta shows up, saying Gohan looks weak, and he needs to keep practicing even in these peaceful times. Vegeta then walks off, and Trunks wants to go play.

Some time passes, and Bulma is all finished. She has incorporated it all into a watch, and by pressing the red switch it will transform the wearer. Gohan has a helmet and a cape, just like a superhero. Gohan thinks he looks pretty cool, but Trunks does not think so... Gohan thanks Bulma, and flies home on Kinto'un. On the way, Gohan realizes that if he travels to school while transformed, he can fly, which is faster than Kinto'un. He transforms, and he really is much faster than Kinto'un.
