Height of Goku and Vegeta

[Amerigo]

I am aware of their 'official heights', but realistically speaking, how tall are Goku and Vegeta? The 'official' height of Bulma is 5'5, and 5'4 for Chi-Chi.

Goku's 175cm and Vegeta's 164cm.

I mean realistically.

Goku's 'official' height is 5'9, just as Vegeta's is 5'5, and Bulma's is 5'5.

But Goku is clearly far taller than Bulma, the top of her head near his shoulders, and Vegeta is also half-a-head taller than Bulma.

Vegeta's 5'4. 164cm to feet is 5.38. https://www.google.com/search?q=164+cm+ ... 8&oe=utf-8

It's only in Super that he seems to be getting taller and closer to that 5'5, 5'6 range. Saiyans can get growth spurts in their 40's and 50's apparently.

So which of their heights should we throw out then?
It is as arbitrary to throw out Goku's height and peg him taller, than his official stated height, because of how he compares to Bulma's official height, as it is to throw out Bulma's official height and peg her smaller, because Goku towers over her.
If you want to be realistic, the only way is to compare it to a known height stated within the show. There was that one episode in early Future Trunks Arc, where Goku went to Karin and Yajirobe, who were playing limbo and had a stick with measurements or something like that.
Or I suppose you could make an estimation based on Goku's proportions, as the thread linked to does IIRC. Certainly I recall Saiyan Arc Goku looking no more than 5'6 at times based on his proportions, while in later arcs or by other artists, he'd appear taller.

I guess your asking for...if the art depicted was how we measured?

Throwing out official heights Id put Goku at around my height, 6'0, Vegeta around 5'7 to 5'9 and Bulma probably 5'3

As others have said though...their official heights are their official heights.

And Piccolo is probably 7"5, perhaps even taller. A green Yao Ming haha.

Same with Dabura, King Piccolo, Ox King and other giants all 7 plus minimum.

[Son Vegito]

Their official height is what they really are. Some artist tend to draw long legs and bodies, but that's just the art style. I Super's case, every animator can draw them however they want. I wouldn't dig too much into that, because otherwise for example Bleach, 80% of the characters should be above 2 meters if we are going by body proportions. In Super's case, an anime it's inconsistent with every episode

I mean Jiren is clearly much taller than Goku, yet they were the same height at the end of ep 100.

According to Dr. Briefs, Vegeta would weigh 18 tons in 300 times gravity. Do the math, it comes to 120 lbs. Here's how.

18 x 2000 = 36,000 - This figures out how many pounds are in 18 tons.
36,000 / 300 = 120 - Because 36,000 pounds is how much he would weigh in 300 times gravity, you have to divide 36,000 by 300 to get the actual weight he would actually weigh.

Thus Vegeta at the end of the Frieza Saga and gearing up for the Android Saga would have weighed 120 lbs. I could see the 160 range due to the much more dense bone and muscle structure, but really the math kind of proves the point on this one. This is just something I had to figure out when trying to figure out my Vegeta character's weight for my role plays. Long story short, in order to get an accurate weight, that's the math I had to do and took it directly from the show. The 160 range would probably be closer to the Grade 2 or Grade 3 forms where he's bulked up more.

Just some food for thought is all and why I believe it to be the 120 range and not the 160
