"Hmm," he hummed thoughtfully. How to explain it without having to give a full long explanation? The last time he'd slipped a bit of his backstory into a conversation it had ended up awkward and confusing on both ends. Easier to keep it simple.

"I was born with abilities innately, genetic memory I guess you might say." Thank you Gohan for a sense of science even if he barely understood half of it. "And growing up all I did was train. Most of the advanced moves I created over the years on my own. I suppose I've picked up a few tricks from friends, too, though."

All right, maybe not as simple as it could have been but it sounded better than 'I inherited my father's memories and abilities when he reincarnated himself through me, and then trained alone in the wilderness for three years to perfect what I knew to surpass my former self and then continued to do the same the rest of my life thereafter' and 'I never really had any formal training of my own but have been considered a good trainer by others for many a year at this point'. Yeah, much better than that.
