To tick off my bucket list: Turn a reasonable forum into one about religion.

Back to the topic of the forum: I realized that Bulma in present timeline, end of Z era looks older than Future Bulma, despite the History Of Trunks story taking place 3 years after the time of present timeline's Z era finale
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

That's an opinion, though. And Dragon Ball's never been fully consistent with ages. Just look at 5-year-old Vegeta, 12-year-old Chi-Chi, 15-year-old Goku, 15-year-old Kuririn and, arguably the most infamous, Bra in GT.

No he may be right :mrgreen: all of those extra years with Vegeta may have added some extra stress, bringing a drying cloth back and forth and hearing bombs go off outside your house just to realize you have to fix gravity chamber chamber again.

As I am typing this I argued with myself Future Bulma could be under the stress of being killed by Androids but it never showed the stress shown in the Buu saga when Vegeta turned evil before her eyes before dying and she herself must have been pretty stressed seeing tall Buu (I'm going to say tall Buu b/c i don't know if people here like me saying Super Buu) kill her friends before her eyes before she herself gets killed.

I'm just trying to think of some type of reason and that one isn't too bad but I am thinking too much into it xD It is most likely a mistake.

Okay, I got one, that I realized today: I can't think of any characters that have tattoos.

I'm loving the idea of living with Vegeta being more stressful than the apocalypse.

Would the Majin M be considered a tattoo?

Probably not, since it's an effect of Bobbodi's magic.

If you exclude the Majin M, due to it's being magical... And a plot device.
