It's offical, that's as factual as you can get.
A lot of things are "official." The Budôkai games are official, yet their info isn't always correct.
I doubt Toriyama really checked everything in the Daizenshuu and said "Yep, that's right!"
I mean, look at the Daizenshuu power levels... "Raditz: 1,500"...

Well, I've not heard of any actual date conflicts that exist, therefor, in the lack of conflicting information, it's fact. The only conflict I've heard of would be the time between Goku's death and revival (Radtiz-Nappa/Vegeta), and the Manga itself had more conflicting information in it than that.

Maybe you see it as fact, but I don't. I wouldn't believe it 'til I hear Vegeta's age out of Toriyama's own mouth (or an interview, whichever you prefer

)

I'm not really sure these day with how forgetful Toriyama is, if you could take anything that comes out of his mouth as fact either. Don't forget he couldn't even remember who Kamesennin was.

Jerseymilk: "Can I tell you something?"
B-kun: "What?"
Jerseymilk: "I see Fangirls."

Kamesennin; and that was a while ago. Imagine what he forget up until now.

fans: Please sensei I know you're bored, but try to pay attention. He's the legendary character that you created 20 years ago and that made you and (especially) TOEI rich.

Fans: We're fans of yours, and of Dragonball.
Toriyama-sama: ... What on Earth is this Dragonball, and is it any good?
But ya, we all know pretty well about Toriyama-sama's memory. So he very well could have gone over every last bit of info in the Daizenshuu's and approved it all as correct thinking it was (or figuring that if he couldn't remember neither coudl the fans).

Not anymore. When they got to DB, they changed back to him being an assassin.

Come to think of it, where can I get this 'Daizenshuu' you guys are talking about? (and I know they changed it, but I don't think the original DB is already released in Europe, at least not here for as far as I know)

Ya, the Daizenshuu's are had to come by, and in Japanese anyway. We need them all translated into English and released over here, so I can get copies, and be able to read them too.

What are their ages?!
I just noticed the comment you made... what's wrong with marrying an older woman? XP
Because their breast milk is sour.

Two things I am going to point out, so Mike doesn't have to.
1.) You're necro posting, which is bad news.
2.) Your comment was entirely uncalled for, and continued comments in such profane ways- could very well lead to trouble, with He who governs these boards. [i.e. VegettoEX.]

And once again as I said in the other thread, incase you didn't see, you're avatar is too big. 80x80 is the maximum.
