Yeah, I think I read somewhere that Vegeta is like 5'3" - 5'5" range. But even so, how old is Goku when he Kills Piccolo Daimao?, like 15-16 and he looks like a 8 year old.

And Gohan was about 10 when he killed Cell and actually looked a bit older to me. (Like 12 or 13). He, Goten, and Trunks all looked about their proper ages during their lives. I still say Pan looks 9 and Bra looks maybe 11 or 12-ish, which matches with Toriayma's later style for ages anywhere from 8 to 10. The only officially given gap between Z and GT is 5 years and 5 years is what the characters look like.

I prefer to call Pan 13 and Bra 14.

Thats my personal opinion.

I always thought GT took place 10 years after though.

Well if it is 10 years then Pan would be 14.

As for Bra we can safely assume that she will end up being taller than her dad at the rate she is growing.

Poor Vegeta :lol:

Not really when she's allowed to dress like a hooker, thus making her look older. Guys get fooled like that all the time in real life. Poor guys....

"No I'm 9 years old."

Vegeta killed them right afterwards, so at least their shame was short. :lol:

I don't think it's all to surprising that she dresses that way, considering who her mother is, and how her mother behaved in Dragonball.

That being said, I honestly never cared enough about GT to notice that the 10 years I always came to take for truth wasn't technically incorrect - though I did always think Goten and Trunks were way too young-looking to be so old, they are Saiyajin, so, y'know. But Bra's, uh, flat-chestedness now being pointed out, I'd say she'd likely be 12 or 13, because she's definately too big to be 8 or 9. Even if it is GT, if we consider that Chibi Trunks was 8 and was a looooot smaller, I'm thinking GT Bra has to be about 12 or 13-ish. That age'd be a good benchmark for her to still be underdeveloped, because not all girls go through a giant boom in puberty at such an age. And while I'd rather not go into the whole 'knows this from experience' sorta thing, I'd say 13 is probably an accurate estimate of her age, at least based on appearance.

Then again look at Chibi Gokou at 12...I don't think GT alone can be blamed for the age inconsistancy in the series...I think Bulma and Chi-Chi are the only characters that end up looking their age towards the series' end, in fact...
Meh.
