If you're going to bump a three month old thread you could at least use proper grammar in your post.

Context: before Tao Pai Pai takes off for the Karin Holy Land
Tao Pai Pai: “It’s 2,300 kilometers northeast, huh?...Well the, I’ll be back in about 30 minutes.”
Note: So in other words, Tao Pai Pai says he can throw a pillar 2,300 kilometers, jumps on it and ride it all the way there, beats Goku, then come all the way back in about 30 minutes.
Before this thread gets locked for being too old or whatever, I just wanted to point out that Tao is faster than High School Era Base Gohan:

Erasa: “Eh! Did you say East 439?! You’ve got to be kidding. Isn’t that 1,000 kilometers from here!? [ ] How the heck do you get here? Even a jet flyer would take 5 hours to cover that distance!”
Note: Gohan later says he can fly this distance in about 20 minutes
:P

Well, you can't expect Toriyama to remember a minor detail like that. :wink:

I know. It's still funny though, since if we go by feats alone Tao could beat High School Era Regular Gohan in a race.

Why do you spell it like that? I don't mean to be rude, I'm just curious.

In the Swedish translation, they call him Tao Bai Bai. Just something to know. I don't know why, though.

Its spelled like that in the german version,and I belive its the way it would be pronounced in chinese,I'm not completly sure about the "Tao" part but "Bai Bai" is definetly the chinese pronounciation.

Oh. I figured it had something to do with Chinese.



Edit: Yeah, I checked. 桃白白 would be be romanized "Tao Pai Pai" in Japanese, and "Táo Bái Bái" in Chinese.
