Character Heights

Chuquita · Post by **Chuquita** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 1:14 am

Has Toriyama ever said how tall any of the characters are? (in feet or metrics)
Because according to the Budoukai 2 and 3 guides they have Goku at 5'7 and Vegeta at 5'6.

I know they aren't an inch apart in height. Goku's at least a head taller than Vegeta.

Do any of the daizenshuus give the official character heights and weights?

With some characters, it seems that the height may change, and I'm not just accounting for when they went from kids to adults. For example, from the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai to when Raditz first shows up, Krillin is a head shorter than Goku. When on Namek, there seems to be a greater distance in their heights.

On the character intro pages in the graphic novels, Trunks is about a head taller than Goten, when in the actual manga, they are the exact same height.

No way, I heard Vejiita was barely 5'3. Anyway, all I know is that Piccolo is the tallest. But yeah, I dont think the animators payed much attention to their heights.

I think King Cold was the tallest character in the series (except for Piccolo's growing technique...), based on how big he was compared to Freeza, like 2 1/2 times taller.

Yeah right, like the Budokai books would give any accurate information. Fat Boo is as tall as Vegeta in the game, when he's supposed to be taller than Piccolo.

I'd like to get accurate info on Vegeta's height compared to Bulma's!

I doubt the Budokai heights are accurate. Both Fat/Super Buu and Piccolo are a whole lot shorter than they should be.

Funnily enough concerning Buruma's and Vegeta's height, during the Namek saga, Vegeta is shown to be slightly shorter than Buruma. Forward to the Trunks saga and he's the same height. Move to the Buu saga, and he's about an inch taller. Guess we couldn't have Buruma's love interest being shorter than her eh?

No, that's not an inconstinceny. You forgot that during his extra year in the Room of Spirit and Time, Vegeta was hanging himself upside by his ankles to grow taller. That was the secret to his training that he didn't want Trunks telling anyone.

Was King Cold the same height as Frieza form 2? It looked to me he was several inches taller. Piccolo was almost as tall as Frieza's second form. He was certainly buffer.

Also, it looked to me that Frieza's fourth form was slightly {at most two inches} taller than his first.

Go back to hunting down your henati avatars.

Tenshinhan is also smaller than he should be in the Budokai games. He is almost as tall as Piccolo.

Lol. And then when you jump ahead another 10 years to the end of dbz, he's shorter than her again.
I always thought Vegeta was at his tallest during Cell.

Krillin seemed to get a bit taller as the series went on as well. He was a few inches shorter than the Saibamen and remained that height until after the Frieza saga, where he magically became about the same height; and then by the end of the Buu saga, he seemed a few inches taller than that as well.

For some reason, Krillin was tiny while on Namek.

Yeah I remember at the beginning of the series he went up to Goku's chest almost and then when Vegeta and Nappa arrived, he was practically the same height as five year-old Gohan. XD

Well, as the series progressed, all of the characters got taller. But as for Budokai 3, third form Freeza is way too big. He is taller than Piccolo when Piccolo was taller than him in the anime and manga.

Is there any indication of how tall Janemba is in his first form? I haven't actually seen that movie (just clips) and he appears to be quite huge. Would he be as big as giant form Piccolo, or more like Legendary SSJ Broli?
