How old is Vegeta?

Post by JulieYBM » Sun Jul 27, 2008 12:50 am

I've been wondering, has an official age for him ever been given? Sure he was ten or so when Planet Vegeta was destroyed but I'm not too sure.

Thanks,
Jacob

I know that all of the characters ages were listed in one of the Daizenshuu (I'm sure it was 7), but I'm pretty sure that I've found an accurate translation (I'm sure Herms or somebody will come along soon and either confirm this list or give us the actual translation):

Vegeta:

Bardock Special: 5 years.
Pilaf Saga: 17 years.
World Tournament Saga: 18 years.
RRA Saga: 18 years.
Tien Saga: 21 years.
Piccolo Jr. Saga: 24 years.
Saiya-jin Arc: 29 years.
Freeza Arc: 30 years.
Garlic Jr. Saga: 31 years.
Trunks Saga: 32 years.
Android Saga: 39 years.
Majin Buu Arc: 39 years.
End of DBZ: 56 years.

Hope this helps, I'll post his ages during GT when I get a chance.

Edit:

Vegeta (GT):

Beginning of GT: 66 years.
Super 17 Saga: 67 years.
*I assume that he was still 67 at the end of GT since they didn't list anything otherwise.

Major thanks! So, this would make him four years Son's senior.

Your welcome! 8)

Ya, 4-5 (I think closer to 5) since Goku didn't seem more than a few weeks old when we see him in the Bardock special (assuming Saiya-jin are either born with their normal hair or their hair grows extremely fast), which is when Vegeta was 5.

*Note: I edited Vegeta's ages in GT into my previous post.

Daizenshuu 7 says that Vegeta was born in Age 732 (for comparision, Goku was born in Age 737). The Barduck special is set in Age 737, the Pilaf arc was in 749, the Saiyan arc was in 761 (Raditz) to 762 (Vegeta and Nappa), the Cell Games are in 767, the Buu arc in 774, and the end of DragonBall in 784. So doing the math a bit, it looks like SSJ Rambo's ages are a bit off towards the end. Anyway, Daizenshuu 7 doesn't directly state character's ages, but rather gives the year of their birth, has a timeline for the series, and basically lets you do the math for each time period.

Ah that's right, but that wouldn't come into effect until Goku was 29 years old.

Son still technically ages while dead, he just does not age physically.

Son's mind was 45 at the end of the manga series, but his body was either 37 or 36.

If Vegeta was 52 at the end then that would make Son 47 but his body 39.

No it's not. We know the years they were born and when major events happened.

Yeah, those last few are a little off.

You have it right up until the Trunks Saga, after that it would go like this:

Android/Cell Saga: 35 years
Majin Buu Saga: 42 years
28th Budokai/End of DBZ: 52 years

Beginning of DBGT: 62 years
Super 17 Saga/End of DBGT: 63 years

But if Goku was 32 during the Trunks Saga he would have been 35 during the Android Saga, and after 1 years of training in the ROSAT he would have been 36 for the Cell Saga. And after being dead for 7 years he would have been 43 years old during the Majin Buu Saga (36 physically) and 53 at the end of DBZ. Is there any information in the Daizenshuu that contradicts that?

Hey a off toptic question(sorry). Is one age equal to one year of our timeline?

Yes it is, or at least that's what we've all been thinking.
