How old is are the dbz characters?

[DerekPowers]

i started thinking about this cause bulma looks almost the same age in dragonball and dbz. she looks younger but not by much. does anyone know how old she is? id say like 15. what about yamcha? and how old is goku in db and dbz? and is that weird little namak in db garlic jr.? what about all the others, if anyone knows? anyway, peace.

well, for gokou and vegeta, their ages are hard to determine because they age so well. i'd say gokou was around 28-30 when he was killed by cell and vegeta around the same age. piccolo's age is totally unknown. and by the time gohan starts attending orange star high school, he's 16. trunks and goten range around 6 to 7 (speaking of trunks, future trunks was 16 when he made his first appearance in the past.)

and bulma is around gokou's age as well, give or take 2-3 years. by the time she gives birth to trunks, she's maybe 25.

and that's basically all i know about that.... :D

Bulma must be older than Goku though, just look at Dragonball, she's in her teens and Goku is like 8. I'd guess Bulma at 16 in Dragonball, so she'd be like 8 yrs. older than Goku. I guess it's possible that Saiyans age differently than humans though. I do agree, she doesn't really look older than Goku in DBZ.

In Dragonball Buruma is about 16 and Gokuu is 12. And that isn't Garlic Jr in Dragonball, it's Pilaf. Neither of them are Namek-jins. Trunks was 17 when he arrived to the past. Gohan was about 8 on Namek and 11 during the Cell games (12 if you count the year in the ROSAT) 18 in the Buu saga and 19 counting the year in the ROSAT. Gokuu was about 31 (counting the times he died) at the Cell games. He remained at 31 in the Buu saga since he was dead during the 7 year gap. Vejita is about 5 years older than Gokuu and 12 years older during the Buu saga. Buruma was about 36 at the Cell games and 43 in the Buu saga. Yamucha and Tenshinhan are about the same age as Buruma. Kuririn is about a year older than Gokuu. Piccolo is about 15+ years younger than Gokuu and 8 years younger in the Buu saga.

At the begining of Dragonball, Goku thought he was 14, but he couldn't count and thought that 14 came after 11 so he was 11 when dragon Ball began, and I think he was about 45 at the end of DBZ or the begining of DBGT9 which shouldn't really count because it was made for one purpose, Money, and Akira Toriama( some one spell check the name) had almost nothing to do with it.

Gokuu was not 11. He thought 14 came after 11 so he was 12. You're right about GT.

It's Toriyama.

Now that I think about it, I think Gohan was 10 at the Cell games.
Starts at 4.5
Against Nappa/ Vejita- 5.5
End of Furiiza Saga- 6
Arrival of Gokuu- 7
Arrival of androids- 10
Cell Games- 10 (a few weeks older)
Counting ROSAT- 11
Buu Saga- 17
Counting ROSAT- 18

Gohan has his 11th birthday in the Cell games even though he should be 10.

that's a typo, I ment 12 and something possed me to type 11, sorry. and thanks for the correction, i was spelling off the top of my head, and I can't spell.

Well I'm a terrible speller too, but in your case that's understandable cuz of the wacky transition between Japanese and English. ;) Oh those funky languages. It's hard for non-heavy anime fans to be able to learn not only new characters names, but both English spellings and Japanese Katakana Rominizations spellings. Whew! Even THAT was a mouthfull and I'm supposidly fluent in English. lol I just use the English. It's a lot easier. (Krillin instead of Kuririn)

I'll tell ya, if Mr. Toriyama isn't involved in this new installment of DBZ that's been freshly dubbed and gonna be on CN in September I'm not too sure I'll enjoy it. You know how things get, when the creative mind behind a whole show's existance and being isn't involved with a part. It loses it's fuel sorce and crashes. I dunno, people who have already seen this new DBZ stuff'd know better than I.

The one thing I know for sure though, is it'll be REALLY weird to see little baby Gohan as a teenager.

Akira Toriyama created everything from DB to the end of DBZ. That includes the new dubbed episodes airing on CN Sept 10.
Flying Grayson was talking about GT. It was created by Toei Animation.

[Nightwing]

Ah I see. I just assumed that "Grand Turismo" stuff that I heard so much about (and not fondly of, from what I've heard come to think of it) was the same thing as what's coming in September. My Mistake. So that's an array of hope then. I just might like this next instalment. :-)

[Flying Grayson]

I have some friends who have bought some of these episodes at wal-mart, and they are pretty good. All I can say without too many spoilers is look out for the stupidest name and costume for any superhero... The Great Sayiaman!!!!

[RockItShipper]

I have a GT book with a timeline.

Trunk is 23, Goten 22, Pan 10, Bra 9. :eek:

My brother is a moron, sorry about that. -_-
