Napa's age

I'm just curious, was it ever mentioned anywhere what Napa's age is in relation to Vegeta's? If not what do you speculate it is?

I don't think there's anything in the mange that clarifies it. The Barduck special portrays Nappa as being already full grown while Vegeta is still a kid, so going by that he's quite a bit older. Daizenshuu 7 says Nappa was over 50 years old when he died, while Vegeta would have been only 30 (he was born in Age 732 and they arrive on Earth in 762).

[edit] LifespanSaiyans and Saiyan-Human Hybrids also have substantially longer lifespans than normal humans. They also do not suffer the effects of aging, remaining more physically youthful even into advanced years. Chichi complained of this in Dragon Ball GT when Goku was reduced to a child thus making the fact that she was getting older faster that much more apparent. Vegeta explains in the final chapter of Dragon Ball Z that Saiyans stay younger longer so they can fight even more. This is seen when Nappa who was Vegeta's attendant when he was a child is in his prime still long after Vegeta has become an adult but in actuality Nappa is 50 years old.

I see, so Napa would be in his mid twenties when the planet Vegeta was destroyed.

50 years old, but his attention span never went past that of a 5 year old, so sad.
