Dende's height

Post by Takuy » Sat Feb 05, 2011 8:17 pm

Kind of a random question...but, just wanted to know the changes in Dende's height during various Sagas, it's kind of hard to tell...In Namek he's a bit shorter then Gohan, and he appears to be the same height when he became the New Guardian, in the Buu Saga he was a bit taller, and then...average size? in GT and/or "Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!"

Is this correct? I just want some height comparisons for him. :|

Considering Piccolo Jr is only 3 in the 23rd Budokai, they should have an incredible fast growth...

Well, Piccolo Junior is a Warrior-type Namekian. So perhaps it's just that he grows so quickly because of that. Dragon Clan and other types might grow at a more slow, human-esque pace.

It may also be due to him being partly a reincarnation of Daimao.

The Buu Saga was weird. He started off looking like a teenager. If I remember correctly, he looked as he eventually would in GT. However, as the saga went on, he seemed to shrink back down to the height he was during the Cell Saga and nobody seemed to notice.

Heh what? He was "getting shorter" throughout the saga? I gotta go check this out, that sounds freaking hysterical.
