Seriously, there's something genuinely disturbing with Bulma's parents. They've had the exact same character designs since their introduction, which was almost 40 years ago.

I think Bulma's family just has awesome genes. Bulma ages backwards and Trunks still looks like he's eight.

Genius playboy billionaire philanthropist. What Omnidisciplinary Scientist worth his salt hasn't found a way to slow aging?

If Dr. Brief is so awesome at that stuff, why hasn't he applied it to himself? The guy looked over 50 years old 30 years ago.

Maybe he has, and it only halts your aging process, not reverses it.

Leave it to the oligarchs to discover anti-aging technology and not share it with the rest of the world.

They hoard the the Dragon Balls like crack, and now they're hiding anti-aging tech too?

What more does Bulma's family need?

random but i really wish they'd put Kid Goku back in the dragon ball games

like not GT goku, but Kid Goku from the original series

he was my favorite character to play as in BT 3 and it sucks to see him not in anymore games


not so random but i do appreciate how the first episode of super eatablishes Hercule as a genuinely good guy who respects goku and stuff, even if he tends to be a bit of a conman

I like that too. Hell, in an ideal world, Hercule would be the hero he pretends to be (well, he did genuinely help with Buu).

[up] Hercule and Yamcha are genuine badasses, it is just that blasted Z that ruined everything. Not to mention Toriyama is a gag author who loves making jokes at his characters expense.

Reminder that Dr. Briefs and Panty were 14 when they concieved Tights.

Trunks and Mai are currently the same age.

Future Trunks was the same age when Future Gohan died.

And now Future Gohan (along with the Future Multiverse) does not exist anymore.

Because Toriyama himself said that both of 'em were 70 during the events of Battle of Gods. Since that saga takes place in Age 778, it's possible to deduce one's age by going backward and forward in time. This means that both Dr. Briefs and Panty were born in Age 708.

During the events of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, Tights was 17 years old in Age 739, which means she was born in Age 722.

722 - 708 = 14

It's really weird how Goten and Trunks stopped aging. Super really doesn't want them to matter, does it?

But future Trunks followed a much more regular growth pattern.

So did Gohan for that matter.

Let's face it, the kids are getting snubbed by Super pretty hard.

It's cuz nobody cares about the Buu saga :V

It's glaringly bad that Goten, Trunks, and Marron all still have their Z designs despite being at least 5-6 years older. When was the last time Goten was even in a fucking Gi.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

Marron actually has a new design that makes her look younger.

On the swingers comment above: when Bulma was setting off from her home to adventure with Goku, both of them asked her if she could pick up a hot stud/babe for them. Personally, I don't think they were serious, since Bulma's reaction was so exaggerated and over-the-top. I think they were just messing with her.
