The RoSaT's 48 hour limit

[Saitou Hajime]

Can anyone care to explain this? Is it like you can't spend 48 consecutive hours inside? Or is it like if you spend 24 hours for the first run, leave, then when you try to go for 25 the second time around, the room locks you in?

[Galan007]

If you spend more than a total of 48 standard hours in the RoSaT during your lifetime, the door vanishes behind you.

However, as long as you wield Super Buu/SSJ3 Gotenks-level power, that 'rule' no longer applies anyway, as you can simply breach the dimensional 'wall' that separates the RoSaT from the physical universe.... By yelling really loud.

[Lord Beerus]

If your body is not strong enough, you will die before the 48 hour time limit and if you don't, then the exit/entrance vanishes and your stuck in that dimension forever. Unless you pull a Super Buu/SSJ3 Gotenks and create hole through the fabric of time and space and escape the dimension.

What's also interesting is that the room seems to count Trunks and future Trunks as two separate people. Of course, it is the Room of Spirit and Time.

^Well, that makes sense, since technically the Trunks in the Buu arc (from his POV) has never been there. What I really wonder is why everyone seemed to forget about the two-person limit.

There was never actually a limit imposed on the room. I believe Goku's words were that the room is only setup for two people. I guess that means that a fully stocked food supply would only last for a year with 2 people inside. After which the room would have to be re-stocked by Popo. This whole two person limit is just a confusion with what is said I think. You can check the chapter where Goku talks to Vegeta if you want that is pretty much how he words it.

If I recall correctly, another reason why Goku said ,"only two people at a time can enter", was because he wanted Vegeta to train with Trunks, because the context of the scene was Trunks saying that Vegeta didn't want to train with him and Goku said that he may be able to talk to him about it.

Figured it was provisions. Granted, Trunks noted there didn't seem to be a whole lot when he and Goten were in there...

Yep.

After all, Trunks+Goten+Piccolo+Super Buu ALL existed in the RoSaT at the same time, with no issue. /shrug

It could mean it could all feed two saiyans at a time. Going by how much saiyans eat compared to a human more than two huamans could enter and live off the food and we see Piccolo and Buu go inside after Goten and Trunks.

Also I'm sure Goku wanted Vegeta to train Trunks so he could focus on Gohan 100%.

Clarification... does it say in the manga that it's an hourly thing? Meaning you can potentially go in 24 times with 2 hours each?

Or is this a per entry thing? You can only step, inside the room and step out, twice. Meaning you only get to have 2 entries, inclusive of the 48 hour time limit?

Like you can step inside the room for 38 hours ONCE and then the SECOND TIME go in for 10 hours? But you can also just step inside the room and spend 11 hours there and then go in again for 3 more hours and then THAT'S IT, your "2 Entries" have been used up and going again would cause the door to disappear behind you.

Popo restocking the food supply could mean that he keeps the door open when he does it. Because if you think about it, if Popo takes 30 minutes each to restock the room at each time, with the door closed, he can only restock that room 96 times until someone else has to restock it because Popo's sum of 48 hours have been used up (just restocking the entire time).

Because they are two separate people. They are effectively from two different universes, when you consider how time travel functions in the Dragonball world.

The two person limit was just a lie Goku told Vegeta to trick him into training with Trunks.

He was smart. :3

The bottom line is that you can't spend more than 48 cumulative hours in the ROSaT. From what I understand, there's no real limit on entries. Nothing in the manga suggests that you can only go in twice, for example.

As for Popo, I thought about this as well and it struck me to be a tiny plot hole, but then again, isn't Popo a djinn or a genie? If Popo is a djinn, we can assume that Popo has magical powers to some degree right? I don't think that it'd be too far fetched that Popo could magically restock the ROSaT or use magic to make the process of restocking go by quicker.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Despite his design and use of a magic carpet in the Saiyan Arc, Mr. Popo is never officially classified as anything other than Kami's assistant (who hails from the afterlife) to my knowledge. He has no official race to say he is in fact a genie or anything like that.
