I'm not sure about not caring about Trunks, he's certainly gotten more focus than Goten has so I don't think it's just the Future self thing

Goten has always kinda been just a sidekick for Trunks to be honest.

@Shlugo: That is kind of the point: that they look wrong. Trust me, all of those are accurately measured to the centimeter of their official heights. I don't like it any more than you do, but according to multiple guidebooks, that is how tall those characters are supposed to be.

I think the biggest thing to take away from this is that Present Trunks, despite what the animation style says, is just as tall as his future counterpart was at the start of the History of Trunks Special and has been since he was 8.

Okay really weird question here.

If Cell or Abridged-Cell really was gay for Goku would that be incest?

To be honest, the official heights look reasonable for people; Krillin is slighty taller than Danny De Vito, and Chaotzu is about the height of Peter Dinklage, while Goku and Vegeta have an average and a below average height for Japan (or the Mediterranean, or most places without nordic populations), and Piccolo is a green slug alien with biomechanical arms and sharp fangs, so his Shaq height is par the course.

Krillin reaching only to Goku's hip never felt right for me.

Technically yes since Cell and Goku are biologically related, but we don't know how much of his DNA is Goku's. I think most of Cell's DNA is Namekian and whatever Frieza's race is, since those traits seem the most obvious.

What I want to know is if Cell is evil because Dr Gero focused more on the Frieza and Vegeta DNA than Goku and Piccolo DNA, or because he spent most of his life being ego-stroked by the computer of "you are the perfect life-form" and "eat thousands of people to get stronger"

In my opinion, Cell feels more like a transgenic member of Freeza's species than a true chimeric being. Freeza's traits are the more apparent by far.

Cell is genetically predispositioned to be an asshole. Being raised by an evil scientist's computer is just a bonus.

Cell combines the DNA of an evil emperor, a race of jackasses, and the evil half of God. And Krillin.

So, yeah, he is pretty much an asshole by nature.

How long till the Saiya gals get their own SS4 forms?

Never because they don't have tails.

Not everyone. Poor Pan.

Yeah. I know why she never went Super Saiyan in GT (sexism), but the fact that she never got it throughout any of the numerous fanservice and what-if scenerios in the franchise is just beyond the pale.

If Cell or Abridged-Cell really was gay for Goku would that be incest?

Pretend I workshopped a really funny joke about Abridged Cell's attraction to Goku, Cell being a bug person, and those bug aliens Vegeta blew up who loved incest.

Maybe? It's unclear. Videl's hair did turn yellow and her womb was glowing golden, but Pan was so early along at that point that she would be going Super Saiyan as a barely humanoid fetus.

Eh, Kid Trunks has gotten focus as far as being Vegeta's Morality Pet along with Bulma, but that's about it. I think he's technically appeared more than Goten in Super by pure virtue of Capsule Corps being treated as the new defacto base of operations instead of the Lookout like in Z.
