Gohan's build looks better because he is 7 years older and got higher because of puberty. Maybe he did stayed the same, but not like 7 years before where he intensitly trained his body and was much tougher.

They got bigger because he got older and that's why he looks better in our eyes, not Vegetas. Yes it should be posible for him to get muscular, but not like when he was a kid.dbzfan7 wrote:His Muscles got bigger instead of smaller.

Puberty in a male does tend to allow the short muscles to grow. But they need to be worked to increase in size, which is probably what Vegeta is talking about...
Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
The way they increased is ridiculous. Kid Gohan is pretty skinny in base.Yet as an adult he's chiseled as if he was in SSJ mode.Super Vegetto wrote:

Gohan is not ordinary kid. His muscles could be better than any kids at that age. When he became teen his muscles just grew with body.
The point is that he had muscles when he was a kid, while every other kid has muscle but not at level of athletic kid like him...

He was ELEVEN during the Cell Games.
Have you looked at any eleven-year-olds lately?

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
Nobody gets built seven years later like that. As a kid his muscles weren't that big, Yet they got a whole lot bigger an we're the same size as Goku's even though he hadn't been training them.Super Vegetto wrote:[

Cursed Lemon: He is 9 in manga.
dbzfan7: I don't say that he got build like that after seven years. I say that he was like that as a kid and he only got taller. His muscle just adjusted with his body, and he obviously lived helthy life during those 7 years (exept ki training).
It's funny because he has only 61 kg with 176 cm. It's even amaizing that he looks like that with that weight.
I guess that it all depends on AT's drawing.

It does kinda depend as sometimes his physique is way more than it should be while other times it's skinny like it should be.Super Vegetto wrote:Cursed Lemon: He is 9 in manga.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
Gohan was born sometime in May, Age 757 and the Cell Games happen on 26 May, Age 767. He spent only about 21 hours in the RoSaT, so he's about 10.875 years old.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
He really was 11. He was 4 at the beginning, 5 at Saiyan & Freeza arcs, 7 when Mecha Freeza came to Earth, 10 when the Artificial Humans attacked, and 11 after 1 year in RoSaT.TheMightyOzaru wrote:He's TEN, the Funimation dub made an error.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
He didn't spend 1 year inside the RoSaT, it was closer to 21 Earth hours. As I said in my post, the Cell Games happen almost exactly 10 years after Gohan was born so he's about 10.875 years old.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:He really was 11.

Edit: I just tried to take into account every day, week, month and year between Gohan's age of 4 and when he fights Cell and I came up with his age being 10.696 years old, so at least the math agrees well.

He's ten. Hence why after SEVEN years he was 17 and in the manga after 7 years he was 16. Not 18. 17(anime) and 16(manga)DBZGTKOSDH wrote:He really was 11.

He is both 10 & 11. He is alive for 11 years, but he has spend 10 years in the normal world. He was 16 in the start of Boo arc because they didn't count the year inside RoSaT, and because he hadn't turned 17 yet.TheGmGoken wrote:He's ten.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
Exactly. He's still 10/9. He's body is 10.876. Which is still TEN. he wasn't 11 YET. Still TEN. That's like saying on May 9 I'm 18 even though My bday is May 13.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:He is both 10 & 11.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
How about we all agree on the fact that that he's almost 11 (AKA 10)? Whether you use The History of Ever or add up the time skips in the series, you get an answer that he's ~10.8 years old. We call people that aren't yet 11 "10." So: He's 10, but almost 11. About 10.8 or 10.9. Yeah. 3rd time. What is there to dispute?

He's still 10. 11 can be disputed because it's not correct.
