Because he didn't drink the elixir Roshi drank to keep him from dying of age. :P

Y'know..it's rather sad for Goku to come back 100 years later, only to a time where most of the family he grew up with is dead and the only living relative he knew that is still alive is Pan. o_O;

I'd say Mr. Satan did indeed die.

During the 100 year gap at the end of GT. :P Old age got the better of him.

:D Hey, future Bulma never died, did she?

*flabbergasted* We may have just found the only surviving main character. I don't think Bulma from the future ever died, and I don't ever recall her dying before then, (say from embarrasment.)
Best. Slip 'n' slide. EVER!

But not counting dying of natural causes, they don't die.

I think all of the saiyans are alive but over 100 years old. I think this because unless they been killed by someone or something there in a way immortal. I remember Vegeta saiyng something like that. Why would Pan be 109 or near that age?

It's foolish to count temporary fusions and alternate timelines. After all, there would hypothetically be infinite timelines, ones where Kuririn never died, ones where Earth was never even threatened... hell, ones without dragonballs.

Also, I honestly can't remember Gohan's death. Wasn't he alive on that Kaioshin planet during the destruction of Earth?

No he had been back on Earth at that point for a while Zack. I think you're mixing your scenes up. XD Remember he was lying unconcious with Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks when Buu blew the planet up. Goku didn't have time to save them.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Unfortunately, here's how it went. Goku and Vegeta rescue Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo from Buu's "innards" and make it out through the steam holes. After regaining their sizes, they set the previously absorbed warriors down. Gohan seems to be the only one starting to regain consciousness, showing signs that they are all "fine". After Buu is downgraded/upgraded to his original form, Goku and Vegeta arise in the air to see what's happening with Buu, while Gohan and the others are still basically out on the ground. Buu screams his annoying ass off for no reason, tries blowing up the Earth for the hell of it, but it gets stopped by Vegeta.

With Buu now completely insane, he powers up an attack that could "obliterate the Earth ten times". After launching it, Goku and Vegeta go (from my point of view :P ) SSJ2 and make a run for it to teleport with Gohan and the others. Just as Goku's making his decent to the boys, he catches glimpse of the helpless Dende and Hercule. Without thinking, Goku picks up Hercule and Dende and speeds off with Vegeta behind him. Goku realizes he can't sense another safe place to transport in time, and just as it seems like they're all dead, Kaioshin teleports right in front of Goku and extends a hand. Vegeta barley grabs onto Goku, and they transport off of Earth just in the nick of time, looking back as they realize their sons are left behind to die. With no one there to help them, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo are engulfed by the gargantuan energy blast of Buu's and die a cold death with the Earth (the best moment of Ginyu Transformation/Cell's End playing for the dub).

That idiot Goku, choosing a moron like Hercule and the then completely unnecessary Dende (since the Dragon Balls were being destroyed with Earth) over his own sons, whom combined could have probably finished Buu just like Goku wanted from the start. I swear, that Kakarrot can be a real bastard in some moments, not saving his own children over a retard like Hercule and a useless Namekian. There's moments I absolutely love Goku and the character he is, but there's a moment like this, I think I hated him. Gohan died! :evil: :cry:

Of course, he was later revived from the Namekian Dragon Balls and gave his Mystic energy to Goku's ultimate genki-dama, which alone had to be over half the energy of that attack, so he had some hand in defeating Buu.

Haha! You typed all that for nothing Conan since I beat you to it with a much shorter summation! XDDDDDDDDD

In all seriousness it's a very good explanation. :wink:

Haha, it was useful anyway... thanks to the both of ye. I guess I shouldn't be criticizing Toriyama for his memory, huh?

To be fair, the whole "rescuing Mr. Satan instead of the boys and Piccolo" makes for a more dramatic ending.

You get Vegeta showing parental anger and rage for the first time since Mirai was killed and also hints that he cares some for Gohan and Goten as well.

You get Goku actually being a little depressed.

You get Mr. Satan finally being 100% out of his depth but sucking it up and being a hero anyway.

And you get Buu defeated by the "hopes and dreams" of all the good souls on Earth and everywhere else important in the series, which makes for a very nice way to finish him off.

You said in "DBZ," so only thinking up until the end of Dragon Ball Z, all characters except the following have been killed:
Kaioshin
Mr. Satan
Bee (the dog; unless Buu brought him back to life rather than healing him?)
Majin Buu (fat)
Uub
Bra
Pan

Considering the end of GT, however, we're left only with:
Pan
Bra (possibly? She wasn't much of a "Z-fighter". . .)
Goku Jr.
Vegeta Jr.
Vegeta Jr.'s mom/Bulma's descendant
And I guess unimportant characters that were born from the Buu Saga to the end of GT that didn't die yet. :lol:

Techniqually speaking (and don't hurt me for this):
Gogeta never dies though in movie 12 he's already dead
Vegetto, though half dead, doesn't have a halo
Gotenks doesn't ever die, though Trunks and Goten do
Veku/Fat Gogeta never dies; see Gogeta above
South Kai
East Kai
Grand Kai
King Emma ( :D )
Garlic Jr. (but he's non canon)

I'm not very clever, am I?

Typing up Bra and Pan but not Marron the child of Kuririn and #18 or was it that she was already born during the explosion of earth?
But I have the same doubt with Bra though.
7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.

Quoting one is plagiarism.
Quoting many is research.

Marron was 4 when Buu blew up the world.

Bra hadn't even been conceived.

Wait, people keep saying everyone died when Buu blew up the Earth. Didn't Buu just use a special attack from the Lookout to kill everyone down there, then killed the rest by eating them?

No (if I'm remembering right) he turned a lot of people into chocolate to eat, then did his 'human extermanation' attack, then he blew the whole planet up.

Heh, he's thourgh I'll give him that.
