Either way, I've always been under the impression that Ultimate Gohan can't transform because all his ki reserves have already been released. Even if he could transform, it would do nothing for power increase, and only give him the flaws and strain provided by the transformation.
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

Don't forget he could also change his hair color as well if he could transform. If he ever decided to become a male model, being able to change your hair color without all of the hair products would be useful, but sadly no and so Goten becomes the star fashion model of the family while he becomes a professor in a world where teach unions and the school system in general is going down the drain not to mention the crappy students. /sarcasm rant

This just begs the question; do Super Saiyans and hair dye mix? Could they somehow do absolutely crazy things with their hair mixing their Super Saiyan modes with dye?

I've been reading a lot of fan fiction lately focusing on Vegeta and a few of them have some interesting theories:

-The reason why Vegeta was so short was because one time Frieza stranded him on a planet and he went for months without any real food or drinks. it severely stunted his growth.

-Saiyans go through puberty through constant physical activity and experiencing increasingly dangerous situations. If they don't, then their glands never really do anything. That's why Goku looked like a 10 year old even when he was 15 - it was when he started fighting guys like Tien and King Piccolo and experiencing Mr. Popo's training when he finally started to really grow. Being this is a different fic, it's also explained that due to Vegeta's circumstances, puberty began for him when he was 8 and ended when he was 13. Due to that, he's really short.

-Vegeta, being the Prince and future King, had to extensively learn not only the physical aspects of fighting, but the scientifici aspects as well. Up until the age of 8, the queen was supposed to drill him in physics equations and whatnot, as well as anatomy so he can learn what certain bones break in reaction to a certain punch at a specific angle, or the amplitude and wavelength of an energy blast, for example. Of course, Vegeta's stopped at 4 because that's when his mom was killed. Because of this, though, Vegeta's something of a physics wiz and during the 3 years he was training for the Androids, Bulma discovers a notebook where Vegeta was writing equations so he can adapt the Final Flash to earth's gravity and make sure he can narrow down his target to prevent blowing up what planet he's on.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Is this the best fandom or what? So inventive. Which fics are these? And are they like this the whole way through?

Also, there was another cool one in 3 Years Of Uneaten Strawberries. The reason Vegeta hates worms and squirmy things was because when he was working for Frieza, he had to clean up a planet he was purging and saw the maggot infested corpse of a little girl, so seeing worms and such just reminded him of the terrible life he was stuck in and how he detested doing Frieza's dirty work.

While not neccesairly interesting, I always liked the thory that Ginyu´s body (the purple one) want his original body and that he switched with someone sometime before.

I actually think that's pretty likely given Jeice's reaction to Ginyu switching bodies with Goku. There's no shock or awe whatsoever on his face, he was just sort of like "Oh boy! He's gonna do it! This is gonna be awesome!". And again, he doesn't seem taken aback in anyway whatsoever after seeing the process.
