Will we get a canon explanation as to why Saiyan kids are stronger than their parents?

Post by precita » Fri Jan 27, 2017 7:45 pm

So ever since Gohan was introduced its become obvious each newborn Saiyan kid is a lot stronger than their parents at their age and the previous kids. Then Kid Trunks and Goten are able to go Super Saiyan as children, which even Gohan had to work towards. Now we have Pan, who seems to have inhuman strength even as a baby.

Just like Super has been giving canon explanations to other things, like Vegito defusing in the Buu arc, characters being able to be hurt by bullets or feel pain if their guard is not up, etc....do you expect an canon explanation for this?

Vegeta hypothesized way back in the Saiyans arc that the mixture of saiyan and human DNA just happens to create an abnormally powerful hybrid. That's good enough I think.

Well, in the manga it was right after he and Nappa took off for earth, and they were communicating from their space pods.

Human-Saiyajin hybrids are able to go SSJ quicker because they are more in touch with their human emotions.

Nappa: "Maybe his reading was wrong."
Vegeta: "I don't think so, not with the amount of damage Raditz suffered from that one strike..."
Vegeta: "It seems that mixing Saiyan and Earthling blood begets a powerful hybrid..."
Nappa: "A super Saiyan, eh...?"
Nappa: "So if we spawn a flock of them ourselves..."
Nappa: "...We could build another Saiyan empire!"
Vegeta: "Don't be stupid."
Vegeta: "Do you want a lot of ingrate brats running around with powers greater than ours?"
Nappa: "Oh... right..."
Vegeta: "We must exterminate all life on Earth!"
Daizenshuu 4: [color=#BF0000]Unique Characteristics of Half Saiyan[/color] wrote:Personality
The tailless second generation are super ultra child prodigies.
Saiyan genes have an extraordinarily good compatibility with Earthling blood. Because of this, when the two races are mixed together children with formidable power are born. Particularly, those Halflings born without tails hide an exceptional battle power. There are many things that they naturally master from a young age, such as the ordinarily arduous transformation into a Super Saiyan. In spite of having such an outstanding battle sense, they do not have a fondness for battle like a pure Saiyan. Instead, it seems that the violent temperament of the Saiyan has been relaxed through their Earthling blood.
To summarize, Gohan is naturally powerful due to his hybrid status. Trunks & Goten were born without tails, which contributes towards their natural strength in addition to being hybrids.

Hybrids. That is the literal reason, and explanation on why there so strong in the first place, it's annoying how people forget this

Also what your grand parents and parents have been through in their lives can also influence you on a genetic level. Their general health and life styles will have a knock on effect to you.

Thats why Goten and Trunks can go Super Saiyan, Goku had unlocked it and Vegeta almost had done not long before their conception. Also they were both very strong and in good health at the time.

Nor did I...however I think having your partner suddenly go SS in the middle of intercourse (male or female) is something you could never be prepared for.

Vegeta: Look women I'm fifty times better.

Bulma: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think that can be summarized easily

This is the reason why I think Bra will be the half saiyan with the most potential. Her father is SSB after all.
