Saiyans are very short as kids. Goku as an 11 year old (or 12 year old as you support) had the appearance of a 4 year old (see his height being 1.00m-1.05m). So grandpa Gohan describing a 3 year old Goku as an infant should not come as a surprise at all. As for the comment about Goku's hair - well as with all human newborns in real life they have very little or even no hair when born - it takes some time to be fully developed. Besides Bardock may have never seen Goku before and just compared him with a standard newborn and there was not chance to comment about his hair before.Darkprince410 wrote:Not really. He physically was still young enough appearance wise that, according to Roshi, Gohan described him as an infant. If Bardock had last seen him as an embryo, and now sees him as he is in the chamber, he'd still say that he's grown up, and given that Gine comments about him having Bardock's hair, that suggests that Bardock's never seen him with hair prior to that moment.
I can't see to which point you object. I said that I find it reasonable to assume that the 23rd tournament took place in May as the 22nd took place in May and nothing had changed between the 22nd and 23rd organisation however between the 21st and 22nd the number of years were reduced and the date could have been altered. His point was that I admitted that the 21st would be in May. I did not.TheDevilsCorpse specifically said the Dragon Ball era Budoukai, as in the 21st-23rd.

Just some food for thought for those who support that Trunks didn't have to wait 3 years for his second journey for the events to unfold in the second timeline.
OK so we have the timeline 1 (Trunks’ timeline) and the timeline 2 (the main time we followed in the anime/manga). Trunks went from year X back in time 20 years i.e. to year X-20 and informed the Z fighters that 3 years later i.e. in year X-17 the Androids will appear. Now if Trunks simply travelled back to year X, waited just 8 months (say 1 year for simplicity) and then went from that year X+1 back in time 18 years i.e. to year X-17 to help the Z fighters it would mean that the entire timeline 2 including all of its events were already unfolded and there to be visited independently of his own involvement- just the fighters didn't get to experience them yet.
But if so this would mean that Trunks could theoretically go to a later point on that year or say in year X-16 and see the outcome of the fight ... and it had to be an outcome without himself been involved in the fight against the Androids and Cell. But that would be inpossible as if there was one pre-determined history for timeline 2 Trunks would have been involved as per the events we saw in the manga/anime.
As this is a paradox the conclusion is that timeline 2 events could not pre-exist and as a result he had to wait an equal amount of time since his first visit allowing for the events to unfold differently from that point onwards.
