Spanish is a piece of shit language and it should die for the good of every other language in the world, and I hate it. Why does it have so many verbal timings? Fuck if I know!

Yeah, languages in general are like that. Communication is complex.

Back to Bulma and King Kai for a second: I think she wouldn't revive him because she's never even met the guy.

I would assume it was because he was too young and people thought it would be too ludicrous. But then again, it's only one year older.

That's the reason I assume the dub had for aging him up another year.

I still Cell saga Gohan, "Teen Gohan" to make things easier for me. Wasn't Gohan in the Cell Games? It so, wouldn't Gohan be 16 in the Great Saiyaman saga?

Here's a new commercial for Super DBH Mission 2:

9 + 7 = 16

Maybe people are assuming Kakarrot and Gohand spent both days in the chamber.

Teen Gohan is the Buu saga Gohan. Because he's a teenager during it.

[up]That's the case, but for some reason, the videogames refer to 10 years old Gohan as a 'teen', and Buu Saga Gohan as an 'adult'.

[up][up]Gohan is 17/18 in the English dub of the Buu saga. It's not so much that they're assuming as it is what they're told.

I was referring to the 9 - 11 age range, not Boo saga stuff.

I honestly don't remember any specific mentions like that, marathon-ing the entire series over 3 times surprisingly doesn't stick in your head.

I expect the impossible.

Wasn't it mentioned during his birthday celebration? It was filler, so it might not have stuck because of that.

Well I tried looking up Gohand's birthday, but apparently the only scenes worth anything are the cake scene and a flashback...

I wouldn't discriminate filler...it's just been a while.

Can't recall seeing it in the manga, and I archive binged that part this week.

I think somewhere along the way, "Teen" gohan was meant to be "pre-teen" Gohan.

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

We clearly just need to call them Gohan Act 1, Gohan Act 2, and Gohan Act 3.

It probably wouldn't make sense back then either if you'd really thought about it...

But I just sort of accepted the name.

Me Too.

I know Gohan is hardly the only offender (as the dub for Digimon has shown) but he is up there. Hardly anything about this show makes any sense but we love anyway warts and all. cool

Bump?

Twenty five per page.

I always suspected that there was a post count for the number of posts per page, but I wasn't sure, and it seemed just as likely that the number of posts per page could be determined by post size too.
