About Dragon Ball
Undoubtedly, the famous anime Dragon Ball, created by the mangaka Akira Toriyama, has become a benchmark and its fans number in the millions in several countries around the world. The story of the little Saiyan warrior Goku became one of the most popular since its premiere in 1986, when it went from manga to anime and managed to conquer all the young people of that generation with its plot, its characters, and the stories told by its creator.
Goku and His Grandfather Son Gohan
If you are one of the fans who managed to watch the series from its origins, before the arrival of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super, you will surely remember the reunion Goku had with his grandfather Son Gohan, an old warrior who died at the hands of the little Saiyan himself, who transformed upon seeing the full moon and accidentally killed his beloved adoptive family member.

Goku and His Grandfather's Absence
As the story told in Dragon Ball progressed, the appearance of Grandfather Son Gohan could no longer be seen, which always made fans wonder. Why didn't Goku try to revive his beloved grandfather? Well, the answer is much simpler than it seems and here we explain it to you.
The Reason Behind Son Gohan's Absence
First of all, it is important to remember that when Goku accidentally killed Son Gohan, he was not aware of the existence of the famous Dragon Balls, so he could not resort to this method to resurrect him. In addition, one of Shen Long's rules is that he cannot revive people who have been dead for more than a year, even if they died accidentally or naturally.
Goku's Adult Life
Another very important point to consider is that when Goku becomes an adult and participates in the fight with Piccolo Jr. at the end of Dragon Ball, Grandfather Son Gohan was very happy to see his grandson again, but he also mentioned that he was doing well with Taiyoroku, a guardian of the sacred Furnace of the Eight Divisions, so he asked Goku not to revive him and to take care of himself.
