However, Gohan's temper flares with such intensity that he bursts out of the confinement. In this sudden surge of anger, Gohan strikes Raditz, dealing a physical blow to the Saiyan warrior. The impact is significant enough for the source to record it as a moment where Gohan deals a blow before knocking himself out. This event happens prior to the year-long training period under Piccolo.
