Very much so, May–December Romance is a thing as well.
Anyway Japan likes that kind of Peggy Sue but only physically kind of thing, remember the recent anime Re LIFE. This kind young Mai seems to be intended as deaged in every single way but some general memories variant and Fridge Logic is fridge.

I don't really think it's fair to say one is inherently better than the other, they're all technically the same character. That said, it works with their future counterparts because they barely acknowledge Mai's actual age at all unlike their child selves. And their future counterparts are vastly better written.
So really, the less they mention their actual ages, the more I can forget about it. Because yea, every time they reference how old they're supposed to be is when it starts getting into Squick territory. Otherwise, it's mostly harmless and cute.

The difference is that Future Trunks and Mai are both adults in mind and body with an admittedly significant age difference while Present Trunks is a kid and Mai is an adult in a child's body.

This song needs more love.Future-Mai deaged into a baby right? Now that I thought about it I'd be more receptive if Mai got rebooted or born-again when she deaged. Its a complete wipe-out right?
Even then I'm still kinda not feeling it with the ship. Its not that I dislike Mai, I'm honestly apathetic to Pilaf's gang aside from the occasional laughter, its just why her? Out of all the people in the entire world to pair her with, why the fuck was it Trunks?
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."It had been explained in the DBS manga that the wish that turned Pilaf, Mai and Shu younger happened around the time of the Cell Saga, and that the wish turned the gang into babies. That means the Pilaf Gang is currently the same age as Present Trunks, which is 14 years old.
Unrelated fact, Mr. Briefs and Panchy were both 14 years old when they conceived Tights.

God afternoon people! I don't mean to change the subject at hand but how does the canonization sit with you? Do you like this Manga +Super anime? I do not. If you ask me i think without thoroughly explaining how these would actually work the timeline should go something like this
-prequel about our main bad guys, how the universe (is suppose universes now) How the gods of destructions and whatever else governs exist explain how they got their positions Frieza back story
Anyway Dragon Ball Movies Dragon Ball z Dragon Ball z Anime Jump Super Stars and various other official crossovers amd reference throughout the entirety of the franchise Dragon Ball Super Dragon Ball GT I really like Xicor so I'm gonna pretend AF should be canon Dragon Ball Heroes Discross Xenoverse (Unfortunately not related to Xenosaga) And Fusions so far..... Anyway, I hope you like these
<starts sharpening axe>
....wait. Before I do something I might regret, we should check that and make sure it's true.
One Strip! One Strip!Well Tights was born in Age 722-723 according to Jaco the Galactic Patrolman but I'm not seeing much on her parents' ages except that Capsule Corp was founded in Age 712.

I know that. That's how I found out about her when I read about the manga.
Its like holy shit she's had a sister all this time? Was this something Toriyama decided when he wrote the Jaco manga?
Damn then he must have been 14-15 during her conception.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I haven't found a second source on that save for this bit from a Toriyama interview, "...at the time of Battle of Gods, Bulma’s parents have reached a ripe old age of at least 70...." Which doesn't really say much.

This song needs more love.Ok, there is a lyric in the new ending that is actually scaring me:
"Demons wearing the mask of angels, they beckon to me and say to me "For the sake of justice, destroy all evil right now", they say the world is waiting for me"
What did they mean by this? I'm sorry, but i'm having chills with those words due to the deal with Zamasu and Goku Black who repeated those words like crazy.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

I think it's mostly because Mai is around the same age as Bulma, Dragonball youth wish or not.
