Son Family Ages
After the 7 year gap that proceeds the Cell Games, how old are Goku, Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Goten, approximately?

Re: Son Family Ages
Goku: 37 (physically 30 because he was dead)
Gohan: 16 at the start, 17 by the 25th Budokai (plus roughly a year for RoSaT)
Goten: 7
Chi Chi: 37

Re: Son Family Ages
Gohan was 17 (physically 18), but at the beggining of the saga he is erroneously said to be 16. The Danzenshuu tries to give an explanation based on Gohan's birthday...

Re: Son Family Ages
I thought Gohan was stated to be 16 in the manga.
4 years old at the Beginning of Z
5 years old when the Saiyans come.
6 years old when Goku comes back from Yardrat
9 years old after the Android training.
10 years old physically after the rosat.
So 16 years old or 17 physically in the Buu arc.

Re: Son Family Ages
In the manga it's 1 year and 260 days. In the anime they say one year, but then later say Gohan turns 11 while training in the Room of Spirit and Time, which only works if around 2 years pass between Freeza's defeat and Trunks showing up.sonikku956 wrote:Uh, no. Two Namekian years, perhaps.
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Can't Gohan be 16 at the beginning of the Boo arc and then turn 17 some time before the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai?Fox666 wrote:Gohan was 17 (physically 18), but at the beggining of the saga he is erroneously said to be 16. The Danzenshuu tries to give an explanation based on Gohan's birthday...
Re: Son Family Ages
Theorically it is possible, but I really don't think Toriyama had something like that in mind...

He could have just done the math wrong, it's possible.

Re: Son Family Ages
Where's the error? His birthday is officially in May. It was April at the start of the arc. He was still 16. The real error is Goten's age.

Re: Son Family Ages
Hmm. Goten has born shortly after the Cell arc and he's 7 during the Boo arc. That would make the time gap between Cell & Boo arcs over 7 years. No doubt about that.
Gohan is said to still be 16 at the beginning of the Boo arc, so he must've still officially been 9 (close to 10) during the Cell Games. Is that possible?

*** I would like to note that this age progression list still works with the Daizenshuu's October 12th date for Raditz' arrival, for those who want to deal with the books printed facts (wrong as they may be). But, as Herms has said, that date is impossible according to the manga's narration of Nappa and Vegeta arriving before a year has passed, so I used his fixed date from the "Stronger Loving Timeline".

This thread I posted got some good results, and I think the general consensus agrees he was about 10, close to 11.
Chibi Mystic Gohan has a point though, Goten, should probably be about 6 1/2-ish. Unless you buy into the whole, faster birth cycle theory but that's a whole other can of worms.
*Edit* TheDevilsCorpse beat me to it but yeah, that chart explains it all.

Re: Son Family Ages
Supposedly Goten was already born during the Androids saga, but was never shown?

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Re: Son Family Ages
The chart's ok, except for the fact that Gohan's birthday is mid-late may, not early. His birthday is given, at least in the anime, as happening sometime during the 10 day wait for the Cell Games.
Which makes him 16 (chronologically) during the entirety of the Buu Saga.

That birthday was because Gohan had turned 11 inside RoSaT, not because that day was his actual birthday.Xyex wrote:The chart's ok, except for the fact that Gohan's birthday is mid-late may, not early.

Why would this happen? The Daizenshuu timeline doesn't say that Goten was born before the Artificial Humans' attack, it was just talking about that specific year in general, then went to the specific days. Chi Chi could perfectly be at her 2-3 months of pregnancy during the Artificial Humans/Cell arcs.Fox666 wrote:Supposedly Goten was already born during the Androids saga, but was never shown?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
