Dragon Ball: Reborn as Gohan, I Kill the Androids Despite Losing an Arm

Son Gohan transmigrates into the Dragon Ball Future Timeline, crawling out of his grave with only one arm left. Blood seeps from the wound where Android 18 tore it off, and the scars on his face are deep enough to expose bone. The Z Fighters have been dead for twelve years. He has barely caught his breath when Trunks rushes over in tears. "Gohan, I thought you were dead..."

The Saiyan ability to grow stronger after nearly dying sends his power soaring, but Son Gohan holds back Trunks, who wants to rush out and take revenge. Never fight a battle you aren't sure you can win. He finds Bulma and has her repair Vegeta's old spaceship, converting it into a gravity chamber, then takes Trunks to the Lookout to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. When Mr. Popo asks if he wants to become the new Guardian, he grins. "Guardian? Not even a dog would take that job."

A year later, the doors to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber fly open. Son Gohan stands with one fist clenched, golden energy blazing around him. Trunks follows close behind, covered in wounds but with a sharp gaze. When Androids 17 and 18 descend on the city again, a figure stands in their way amid the ruins. Android 18 tilts her head and smiles. "Gohan, you're still alive?"

Son Gohan clenches his right fist, a burst of air exploding around it. "This time, you're the ones who die."
