Goku's mother...appearing soon?!

[Eddie]

Oh I forgot to add ''Why I wouldn't want them to interact'' Because it just really wouldn't make sense would it? How would that even happen? Would Goku finely meet Bardock as well? Would the two still be together in the after life?

If Tarble survived so could she! She could have been banished as soon as she finished popping out Goku.

Do we know if it will even have a story? Isn't she supposed to appear in Jaco The Galactic Patrolman volume? So, I guess we will just she her design?

[Hellspawn28]

Future Super Saiyan form in Dragonball Heroes?

Calling it already.

It won't surprise me. Episode of Bardock was pretty much a big commercial for DBH anyways. While this is really cool news for most people, I don't care. She was a character shown off screen and I doubt Bardock care for her that much.

I forgot all about that But I wonder how Goku would take to her? I only seen my dad a couple times and I hate him so would he really have feelings for her?

According to Kei, they both had feelings for each other.

When did Goku meet Bardock?

She better look like Raditz since Goku looks like Bardock

If not, maybe Raditz was a half brother. Here's my imaginary figure of Goku's mother that I drew years ago with the idea of her resembling Raditz:

Haha yeah I knew they was named after Vegetables but I just never watched the Bardock special in Japanese haha

You should watch it in Japanese. The English dub of that special is FUNi's worst shit ever.

[hleV]

I want her to have a widow's peak.

[goku the krump dancer]

Potential Vegeta movie? Goku's momma? Badapa pa paaaa I'm loving it..

I guess the whole Turnip thing can die now too. Yay

[DerekPadula]

This is exciting!

My theories for Gine's name pun:

Gine could be named after the English word of Aubergine, another word for Eggplant. The Japanese name for eggplant is Nasu (茄子), but Aubergine rendered into Japanese could be Aberugine (アベルギネ).

As stated earlier, Gine could be a rearrangement of Negi (葱), which is Japanese for Spring Onion.

Toriyama has a perverted side to him, so my theory is that an additional reason she was named Gine is because the word Gine (ギネ) is the Japanese shorthand term for Gynecological, with “Gyne” referring to the vagina. For example, this Japanese gynecological website. She is the mother of Goku and the one who brings life to the savior of the universe through her “gine.”

Nice drawing .

[dbgtFO]

Well I guess this thread answers my question from the other thread.
Interesting point @DerekPadula it could be a double pun as you say. That would be very clever.

[kei17]

Gine could be named after the English word of Aubergine, another word for Eggplant. The Japanese name for eggplant is Nasu (茄子), but Aubergine rendered into Japanese could be Aberugine (アベルギネ).

Extremely unlikely. I'm sure that over 90% of the Japanese don't know the word aubergine, and cutting out a few roman alphabetical letters from such a word and reading it in the romaji way... That's not a pun at all! That must be some kind of military secret code. As for *aberugine, such a word doesn't exist.

As stated earlier, Gine could be a rearrangement of Negi (葱), which is Japanese for Spring Onion.

That is undoubtedly the only logical explanation.

Toriyama has a perverted side to him, so my theory is that an additional reason she was named Gine is because the word Gine (ギネ) is the Japanese shorthand term for Gynecological, with “Gyne” referring to the vagina. For example, this Japanese gynecological website. She is the mother of Goku and the one who brings life to the savior of the universe through her “gine.”

Very unlikely. That "gine" is a buzzword used among health professionals which had been totally unknown to common people until that drama, which wasn't a hit. Also, I doubt that Toriyama is educated enough to know the etymology of gynecological. Anyway, from what I know, γυνή doesn't even mean vagina.

When did Goku meet Bardock?

There are some What If video game stories that involve them meeting in Other World. Though that's all non-canon.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fanfiction writers cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Anyway, this is quite interesting. It may not be as widespread nowadays, but think this will finally put the stupid "Selypa was Goku's mom" fan-theory to rest?

Indeed. When I read the first post I was thinking, "Yes! Now I'll never have to see people claiming Selypa is Goku's mom again!"
I saw that on the Dragon Ball Wiki once. I was quick to correct it.

[TheGmGoken]

So she's a female Tarble? Does this mean she's alive? Can't wait(IF it happens) for more info about her to come out.

[Patrick]

You know, with this new information, we should change the "Goku's Mother is Selypa" rumor in the rumor guide from "unsubstantiated" to "false."

[kei17]

I forgot to mention an important thing. The Q&A also says that the tankobon of Jako is going to have a bonus manga in which Gine appears.

[Gyt Kaliba]

...Well then. That's certainly something that I never would have seen coming in an official capacity. Toriyama, you never cease to bring the surprises.

For what it's worth too, I've never really bought into the 'Selypa is Goku's mom' thing. Hell, I always imagined her more with Toma, based solely on that one shot of them both laying there dead and smiling. And when THAT is more substantial evidence for a pairing than anything in there between her and Bardock...well, that just says how unlikely her being Goku's mom always was. It's also really cool to finally have a name (even if we're still waiting to see what she looked like). I want to say in my old Bardock based fanfic (that I've thankfully purged from the net now I believe), I had her name as...Cabba, or something. From Cabbage. Gine is much more original though, I like it.

So she's alive!? Wonder where she went.

Awesome! It'll be interesting to see how that goes. Any guesses on length?
