Is the height of Karin Tower ever given?

[Kingdom Heartless]

In any guides or anything like that?

Just something I've become curious in.

[Herms]

The Super Exciting Guide: Story Volume says that it's over 8,000 meters high.

... Fascinating.

[Eddie]

Damn. That means dub Goku must have had to climb an extra 1000 meters...

[LeprikanGT]

How tall is 8000 meters in feet? like 24000ish?

Only the old dub Goku, the new dub Goku Over 8000!

[Eddie]

8,000 meters = 26,246.72 feet

8,000 meters = 26,246.72 feet

Which is about five miles up, the "death zone" that no human being can ever acclimate to because there's just not enough oxygen in the air to support our bodies.

[Kingdom Heartless]

Does the guide also state how much further it is to Kami's realm?

[hleV]

- Vegeta, what does the scouter say about the height of this tower?
- IT'S OVER 9000!

Yes, 9000. Goku must have had a hard time.

[Savage68]

IT'S OVER 9000!

Kilometers?

Wow.

Well, old dub Goku anyways

Nope.

Which begs the question how Bulma and co. were able to breath fine even higher than that.

I seem to recall Karin stating that the air was thinner up there, and that Gokuu had trouble breathing the first time, but yeah. Some easy excuses are "it's not our Earth" or "divine magic."

My vote goes to "divine magic" for this one. On at least one occasion (in the Viz translation at least) Kami's palace is called Heaven. Heaven doesn't have to follow the rules of Earth.

You mean the same people that get thrown into mountains with only scratches, and can withstand bullets?
Or are you speaking about our world, and not a fictional one?

But the lack of air was what made Goku's training there so worthwhile, wasn't it? He had to learn to not waste movements, since up there, there wasn't enough air for it.

Yes and no. The point being made is that, on our Earth, there's nowhere near enough Earth to survive, let alone train harder. In other words, here, it would be completely anaerobic, followed by death, whereas there it was just intensively aerobic to the point where it was as close to anaerobic as one could get without dying. He then went even higher than that air thinness.

This is why I say the "not our Earth" factors in. The moon is as or less strenuous than Korin and Kami's to survive under, as well as has very little rock before reaching cream cheese. Our moon? Little bit different.

hahaha That was awesome.


I would say it's Dragon World...real world logic does not apply.
