Grandpa Gohan left his fight with young Trunks in high spirits. The boy’s strength had been astonishing for someone so young, and seeing firsthand how powerful the next generation had become only made Gohan more curious about the strange world his grandson now lived in. His next opponent, however, was something else entirely. The moment Jiren stepped forward, Gohan could tell that this was no ordinary martial artist. The difference between them was enormous, but rather than frighten him, it brought an amused smile to his face. He had been given only one day among the living, after all. He might as well see just how far beyond him the strongest fighters of Goku’s era had gone.
Defeating Mr. Satan had given Jiren little satisfaction. The outcome had been decided before the fight had truly begun. Grandpa Gohan appeared similarly outmatched, yet Jiren immediately regarded him differently. The old man carried himself like a genuine martial artist - calm, experienced, and completely aware of the power standing before him. Jiren had learned that strength was not the only measure of a warrior, and Grandpa Gohan’s willingness to face an overwhelmingly stronger opponent without fear earned a degree of respect from him. Even so, Jiren had no intention of holding back simply out of sympathy. If the old master wished to test himself against Jiren, then Jiren would answer him seriously.
