They're similar to the "TV Animation" Daizenshuu books in that they mostly revolve around giving information and screenshots of the GT anime. The first one only covers the first 41 or so episodes, up until the end of the Baby stuff, and the second covers the rest.

But they also have things like a Saiya-Tsufuru timeline, which unlike the Daizenshuu 7 timeline only covers significant events related to Saiya-jin and Tsufuru-jin (Planet Plant being taken over, births, stuff like that), and is where we get the 5 years after Z thing from. There's also some sections about the stages of SSJ, the hierarchy of Baby's troops, a Q&A with the production staff, an interview with Nozawa, and mini-encyclopedias and bios about pretty much everyone and everything.

I don't believe they're "online" per se, unless you mean to buy them, then it's very easy to find the reprinted versions. I personally plan on putting full translations up in the near future, though.

So I guess the speculation on GT Bra is she's like Ichigo from Please Teacher minus what turns out. (Said to avoid spoilers).

One reason there's so much confusion about Bra is that the Daizenshuu #7 timeline gave her one birth year (780), while her character profile later in the book gave her a different one (778). I always assumed that the character profile date was the correct one, since in GT she looked older than Pan, but I looked at the Perfect Files just now to check if what TripleRach said was true, and there is indeed a timeline that lists Bra's birth year as 780. Damn....I thought 10 was stretching it with those whorish clothes, but she's really supposed to be 8? Vegeta, Bulma, what have you been teaching this girl? Maybe Bulma told her the stories of flashing her boobs/privates to get ahead when she was younger, and Bra decided that showing off the goods is the best way to get what you want :P

No wonder the series started off with the top of Vegeta's hair cut off and him with a mustache. He was hoping to run away from his family without being noticed. Unfortunately, his widow's peek gave him away. With a daughter like that, he's lucky he was only going through a midlife crisis.

As a child, I sometimes pondered Goku's age.
Not taking into account the fact that Saiyans always look young.
I just assumed he was always early 20 at the beginning, spanning to about mid 30s near the cell and buu sagas

At least Bulma was 16. Bra doesn't have any goods to show off. :P

Good guess. I think he's 23 at the beginning of DBZ.
