Fair enough. Though you are comparing Toriyama's manga to Toei's official art. I think a better comparison would be a screen grab from the anime for both. I'm not sure but I think that Toei did draw kid Goku at least a smidge taller in the anime so the consistency I'm talking about might be clearer.Bussani wrote:snip.

Re: Bra
...What? I know that, I said that Saiyans retain their youth longer, but that Vegeta in the Bardock Special looks older than 5, according to some fans. I know that Saiyans are meant to stay in their prime longer, but that's the same as ageing slow.Bussani wrote:Saiyans are meant to stay in their prime longer, not just age slower altogether. If anything I'd think that Saiyans would want to age faster to reach their perfect body quicker, but it apparently doesn't work that way.Piccolo Daimao wrote:I think we should just settle it and say that basically puberty is inconsistent in manga, sinec we're not really going anywhere here. There have been arguments claiming that Vegeta in the Bardock Special looks older than his actual age, 5, when the exact opposite is stated of Saiyans in the manga, who retain their youth longer (as proof as Goku being 15 at the 22nd Budokai, but having barely grown in the 3 years). Then again, some argue that the Bardock Special isn't canon, and therefore Vegeta's appearance at 5 means nothing.

Re: Bra
Well, no, staying in one's prime longer would mean a longer time as a fully grown adult, before the effects of old age set in. So you'd age slower once you reached adulthood, but not necessarily before that point. And if anything, a race that evolved to stay in their prime for as much of their life as possible might conceivably age faster than normal during childhood in order to reach their prime quicker.Piccolo Daimao wrote: I know that Saiyans are meant to stay in their prime longer, but that's the same as ageing slow.

Re: Bra
I wonder if Bra followed Chichi's pun. Chichi of course means breasts, and as a child she hardly had any (I think even Roshi wondered why she was named Chichi). Bra is also flat as a board and was named Bra....

Which, if you believe the hentai artists, has happened.
