Actually, it clears up a plothole, not create one. The only way Goku could be sent to Earth was if it wasn't sanctioned, since Freeza had ordered every Saiyan to return to planet Vegeta and not send anyone out of the planet, because he wanted to be sure he got all the Saiyans when he destroyed the planet.

Fail to see how that is a bad thing, especially since we rarely get to see the heroes mother in these types of shows.

I find it amusing that the sole female saiyan we know of literally works in the kitchen because she was so useless in combat.

[up] There is some humorous irony in that, especially since she's the mother of the franchises main character & premier ultimate badass. Apparently she was such a fuck-up that Bardock had to constantly pull her ass out of the fire back when she was on his squad before her inevitable reassignment.

[up][up] Its a bit of a problem if said mother is a let-down, at least in my opinion. I mean really its all subjective, you clearly like her, I clearly don't like her. I honestly think she is one of the few characters I legitimately dislike in the entire franchise & I damn near don't have a problem with anyone. The only other 2 I have clear negative feelings towards is Mai only in regards to her relationship with Trunks & Chichi in her worst naggzilla moments.

Trunks was 12 and some months old when Beerus arrived, as Beerus arrived four years after Buu's defeat. Bulma just recently started showing with Bra who was born four years before the end of Z. The end of Z is 10 years after the Buu arc, where Trunks was 8. Additionally, Pan is 4 years and some months old by the end of Z, and she was born a few months(?) ago in the ROF arc. Both of these point to 5-6 years having passed. So Trunks would be about 14.

The Beerus Saga of Super is set half a year after the Buu Saga of Z. The End of Z has been retconned, and Pan is now only a year younger than Uub. Bra appears to still be a year younger than Pan, so Present Trunks is approximately 10 years old right now.

I mean, Sayians have pretty weird growing phases so maybe they'll just grow 50 centimeters in a month at some point.

Actually, Xenoverse states that the Champa Saga takes place in 779, and since Bra's about to be born we should be in late 780.

Since Trunks was born in 766, that would indeed make him 14, the same age as Future Trunks in the History of Trunks special.

Just remember, if it wasn't for DBAF we wouldn't have DBS as we know it now.

No, the beginning of the film says 4 years. This misconception comes from the Super Beerus arc. That arc states that it takes place "some time after" the wish to make everyone forget about Buu, which was six months after Pure Buu's defeat, but nothing more specific than that. So it could still just be four years and some months. Videl being several months pregnant by that time and Pan being born only months later would certainly indicate that.

Xenoverse further specifies by saying the Champa arc is Age 779, 4-5 years before the 28th Budokai (Age 784), where Bra and Pan are 4.

Is it just me, or is Turles getting a lot of love from the video games recently?

How come Future 17 & 18 were such horrible monsters while present 17 & 18 were relatively benign even when they were antagonists?

Considering that it supposedly takes place after the Buu arc, that might as well be the case.

Indeed. Geekdom was right on the money about Toriyama as Toriyama isn't as obsessed with canon as his fans are.

Your point is?

The 17 and 18 from the main timeline being less evil than the one's in Future!Trunks' timeline has nothing to do with that.
