Yes (well, Goku was dead too), but Saiyans stay in their prime until the rapid aging process sets in. Physically, they're basically still in their 20s. Everyone else though, like Kuririn... eh.DBZ_Lee wrote:But wouldn't Goku be like 47? and Vegeta 52? - according to approximate dates given in the official timeline.

Toriyama Sensei stated he chose the 10 year time gap for BoG because everyone was at the height of their powers, so I can't see him going that far ahead.
That's what I'm hoping. It seems the most realistic choice for a post-End of Z series. They can have a short introductory arc, like the Raditz battle, taking place right after RoF and setting things up for the new threat or plot, then timeskip to post EoZ afterwards where the main story takes place.bleed0range wrote: I think, considering Toriyamas been pretty consistent with all of the things he's been involved with lately being related to each other (reference to Vegeta's brother in BOG from Yo Son Goku! And the inclusion of Beerus and Jaco in ROF... ), it makes sense it will follow in this direction. Now it could always be after uub shows up, but I bet it'll take place after ROF and show us what happens next. There's also the chance it could start after ROF and surpass EOZ and keep going. But I definitely think we'll see some blue hair.
Saiyans keep their youth for longer though. That was established in the Z epilogue itself. The main problem would be the human characters, although Toriyama himself in RoF seems to be basically disregarding their aging, considering Kuririn's new design, for example. The fact that, aside from Gohan, everyone still seems to be in their peak in RoF makes it more likely that Toriyama could just make something after the End of Z, ignoring the previously mentioned age problems.But wouldn't Goku be like 47? and Vegeta 52? - according to approximate dates given in the official timeline.

I didn't know that, I just looked it up and the way Uub is more teased than shown gets me hopeful.Neon Z wrote:Kai's newest (and probably last) ending sequence is almost entirely focused on the Z epilogue though, so it doesn't seem like it's heading to a different ending.Doctor. wrote:If it's after EoZ, can we expect Kai to have an exclusive ending?
To be honest, I forgot about the Saiyans' slow aging process. I hope it's set after "F", but we'll just have to wait and see.TheDevilsCorpse wrote:Yes (well, Goku was dead too), but Saiyans stay in their prime until the rapid aging process sets in.

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.

I don't think we should take age all too seriously in the Dragon Ball world, at least when it comes to the fighters. Surely with all of the super human powers they wouldn't age like normal humans. Middle age could be something like 60 years old for the fighters. Plus, Earth in Dragon Ball isn't really like the Earth in real life.

. When it comes to the age of Dragon Ball characters, i don't think it really matters.
A thousand times this! I'm excited for this show, but I really don't want to watch a new DB show WITHOUT Kikuchi's score. I hope whoever does it at least tries to incorporate some of the music style that he gave DB. It would go a long way in helping make this a "continuation".G1GACANN0N wrote:Now they just need to redo all of Kikuchi's music with a modern orchestra!

Yeah, Gokû's body would still be in his 30's somewhere, even tho he's technically in his forties.
I used to have the ages memorized.
Holy shit, that is incredible, probably a complete coincidence, but hilariously amazing none the less.Chuquita wrote:*Went to go look at old guidebook to save on math.*
Gokû's chronologically 37 at the end of the Buu arc, so his body's 30.
The year Fukkatsu no F takes place in is 6 months after BOG? I feel like I read that in the F thread, (if I'm wrong, sorry about that).
BOG's 2 years after Buu (I think?).
So if all that's true, he's roughly what, 39/32 or 40/33? (If this new series takes place directly after F. Heh. AF.)
That's actually kind of cool in a way how Toriyama lets everyone age; so many shounen protagonists are shounen themselves.
F is in AGE 779 and Goku is (as of now still) born in 737. So he would be 42 technically, but "physically" 35 because of his 7 year death between Cell and Buu. Though, with the Saiyan aging mechanics, both he and Vegeta are still basically in their 20s because they don't age until the rapid deterioration process sets in. Whenever that is. (60-70 according to DBO, but that may not be relevant anymore.)Chuquita wrote:*Went to go look at old guidebook to save on math.*

The fight with Freeza was on December 25th, AGE 762 and the fight with Mecha Freeza was in August of 764. So almost 2 years.Scott wrote:How long did it take him to get back to Earth after the fight on Namek ?
You're welcome. The rapid aging thing isn't just from DBO though, but it is the only thing that gives us an age estimation of when it might kick in.Chuquita wrote:Many thanks!
I'm genuinely curious if they're keeping DBO's rapid-deterioration thing or not.
