Damn 300 yrs?! The problem is worse than I thought.

As much as I think Tenshinhan's moment is overhyped, I do think it was a legit moment of usefulness and I've probably downplayed it too much in the past.

And I guess maybe there were other moments. Mostly with Krillin but still.

I could see Dragon Ball going on for 300 years.

Humans have been useless for over 30 decades if you watched it from Japan, and over 15 years if you grew up on Z. You'd think people would get tired of repeating the same complaints and move on, but no...they parroting them. Maybe this is why Toei just caved, because they got tired of hearing it all of the damn time.

Unfortunately, the events in Super reopened old wounds for fans.

When Gohan killed Cell, does that count as child abuse?

Well he did kill Cell's children.

Should be noted they only exploded in the anime, in the manga their dismembered corpses pretty much litter the ground.

Goku also brutally beat up a three-year-old. Apparently child abuse runs in the family.

Said three year old also kicked his ass, so I'd say it was justified.

How fast do Namekians grow anyway?

Seems to depend on how fast their fathers want them to grow.

Hard to tell. Dende seemed like he's gained some height at first in the early Buu saga, but then he got pretty small again.

Piccolo may be an anomaly due to how he was born in the first place.

Was it ever mentioned how old Dende is?

They reach adulthood in like, three years.

Does Dende look like an adult to you even now?

I mean, he didn't look very different when he showed up three years later during the Cell Saga, and 7 years later he seemed to grow, and then shrink right back down.

I don't think we should consider Piccolo's growth a accurate representation of Namekian growth cycles.

What are you talking about, he's been his adult size since the Buu Saga started; he was adult-sized during the Kid Buu battle, during Battle of Gods, during every time he's shown up during Super, and throughout the entirety of GT.

Yeah, Dende is just on the short side. Some Namekians are like that.

Dende is noticeably taller, about Krillin's height. Maybe he's just naturally short.

Huh.

I didn't realize. He's the Krillin of Namek.
