While I do like all of the above answers, maybe it's super-existential and it doesn't actually exist in reality at all until it's summoned...? If nobody calls Kinto'un, is there a Kinto'un?

(Probably just rejoins the clouds in the sky.)

I kind of imagine it sort of just goes really high in the sky and follows the energy of Goku so that when/if he calls it will be there.

It goes to the same place as Optimus Prime's trailer.

Makes me wonder. Is there a max range? Could someone summon it on Namek? Universe 6 ? Would it start charging extra?

I thought it went to Kami's Sanctuary or Karin's place.

Back to Snake Way?

Call me crazy but it resembles the clouds around Snake Way... which if it is those clouds, then maybe Goku ate it by accident? But then again, Goten used it later on so I don't know if that theory holds well.

The bigger question is 'does the nimbus have sentience?' If so then it is aware of its actions and could it be pure of heart?

Can Goku's nimbus ride a nimbus?
