Hmm, interesting take that I'll need to consider later. I actually find it more likely that most of Gohan's pacifistic morality comes from the Religious Society of Friends (the Quakers). It's a little more modern, and their practices are in line with Gohan's beliefs and attitude towards violence almost to a T. Desiderius Erasmus' works could also be an influence, particularly "The Praise of Folly" and "The Complaint of Peace". However, Gohan's ultimate code lines up with "Contingent pacifism", or a principled rejection of a particular military system or set of military politics. In this case, he rejects upon principle the notion that fighting against villainous forces is a form of entertainment, but he will do it to protect that same ideal.
