Nappa's height?

SaiyaMel · Post by **SaiyaMel** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 2:29 am

Anyone know how tall he is? Seeing how gigantic he is compared to Vegeta - he must be over 8 ft...

I'm not sure, But I know somewhere on the internet there is a detailed guide which states the height of the fighters.

He is much taller than Vegeta, and even makes Piccolo and Goku look short in comparison; I would say he is most likely around eight foot tall - Just an estimated guess.

One thing that bugs me, Is that he once had hair! - It looks really funny ^_^
I wonder if he lost his hair through stressing about Prince Vegeta? Or maybe Vegeta poured some acid upon a sleeping Nappa's proud tufts of hair

Sorry drifting off the subject entirely! Again just an estimated guess but I would agree with about 8 foot.

That must make Broly about 9 or 10 feet. Maybe taller.

ehh I'd say around 7ft myself, maybe under. With Nappa's bulk, 8ft would be just ridiculous... no way he'd be able to squeeze himself in those tiny space pods for months at a time...

Don't forget how frickin' huge and bulky some of the Ginyu Force members were...

Great, so now we know that Dragonball has problems with scale.

Considering that Vegeta's barely even 5 foot tall himself (not counting the hair), and considering the average apparent height of Nappa, I'd say he's probably about 6 foot 8 to 7 foot.

Vegeta is far (far what? shorter?) than 5 feet without hair, because look... he was at 29 years when we first saw him and Nappa. Estimating from his height by looking at Goku, he is about 5'3". Hope that helped. ^-^

If Vegeta is 5' 3" - Nappa's got to be 8' or higher..

5'3 for Vegeta? That is really, really little guys. That's shorter than the average height of a woman... I'd at least give him 5'6. He's only like a head shorter than Goku, who seems pretty tall(ish) compared to other characters.

I guess I take back what I said before. Nappa must be a total beast, because looking back he practically dwarfs Goku and Piccolo... he's gotta be well over 7ft.

With Vegeta, it all depends on whether or not you're counting that hair.

Goku's 5ft 7inch, as has been stated. And Vegeta is much shorter. 5ft 3inch is probably too generous for Vegeta. He looks more like just 5ft:

And this image is the best for seeing the characters heights:

Piccolo seems to be around 7ft.

Nappa is, at best, 1 1/2 to 2 heads taller than Vegeta. That's approximately 1 1/2 to 2 feet. Which means 7 foot is the top of the scale.

^Assuming Vegeta's head (not counting the hair) is where the red line is,,, I'd say more like three or three and a half heads shorter than Nappa..

True and Nappa is taller then Piccolo so Nappa gotta be like 8 ft.

Did you take it into consideration that Piccolo grew over the years?

...IN AMERICA!

I forget the exact thread, but someone posted a thing that had the official heights, and Goku and the like are all in the Japanese range of height, about three inches less than the US average.

I guess one thing to consider when looking at images of Nappa and Vegeta compared to later images of Vegeta and Goku is that Vegeta increases in height during the series. (I suppose this is just Toriyama perfecting the character rather than Vegeta getting taller from age, but...who knows) If you look at him during the Saiyajin/ Namek sagas he is only slightly taller than Kuririn and Gohan; by the Buu saga he is as we see above in those anime pictures, about 5'2/3 or so compared to 5'7 Goku. There is one chapter page in the gallery at the back of volume 25 where Piccolo towers over Vegeta (as in, he's nearly double his height); even though Piccolo is really tall, that makes Vegeta pretty darn small...

Yeah, going by that red line, that's barely over 2 heads. So, yeah, around 7 foot.
