Videl, daughter of the world-renowned martial arts champion Mr. Satan who falsely claimed credit for defeating Cell, possesses strong martial arts abilities developed independently. She previously used these skills for vigilante crime-fighting in Satan City. After meeting Gohan, she deduced his dual identity as both the "Golden Warrior" who defeated Cell and the superhero Great Saiyaman, subsequently blackmailing him into teaching her advanced techniques like ki-controlled flight. This training period initiated their romantic relationship. Set two years after Majin Buu's defeat during events in "Dragon Ball: Yo! The Return of Son Goku and Friends!!", Videl is Gohan's girlfriend. She actively participates in the celebratory banquet at the newly constructed Satan Hotel hosted by her father, reflecting her integration into Earth's defenders. At the gathering, she perceptively notes her father's inflated ego regarding the hotel as a monument to his supposed victory over Buu. When the hotel is damaged during the battle against Aka, Videl pointedly remarks to Mr. Satan that the destruction serves as karmic retribution for his arrogance, prompting his acknowledgement. Her interactions highlight relationship dynamics; she coordinates with Gohan to ensure his family attends, demonstrating her role as a connective figure within the group. Her demeanor shows a shift from earlier tomboyish and headstrong traits toward a calmer, more observant presence, aligning with her later transition into married life and motherhood. This evolution is visually suggested through her shorter hair. During Aka's attack, she evacuates alongside non-combatants, consistent with her diminished frontline role post-Buu saga, prioritizing others' safety and reflecting her inherent sense of justice. While not engaging directly in combat, her presence grounds Gohan and provides continuity. She possesses awareness of the true events surrounding Buu's defeat, contrasting with the general public's ignorance perpetuated by her father's deception, contributing to her critical attitude toward his self-aggrandizement. This story positions her before her marriage to Gohan and the birth of their daughter Pan, events occurring later in the timeline.
