How old is Bulma? Cause I found a video on You Tube that in its title says she's 46.

Seriously how old are they all now? I assume Goku is like in his 40s right?

I think Bulma is supposed to be 46 but I remember it being a thing about Battle of Gods getting her age wrong. But, assuming Super got it right, her being 46 means Goku is 42 and Vegeta is 47.

I think the only Angel with an ulterior motive here is the Grand Priest. Seriously, the last episode dropped SOOOOOOO many visual clues that forewarn us there's something going we don't know about.

[up]She gets the absurd youth thing from her mom. I bet the only reason Bulma actually does show signs of aging at all is having to deal with having Vegeta as a husband and Goku as a friend along with all the insanity it entaled. I mean, her sister Tights looks like mid-30s but she's 58.

Chronologically, yes, but Goku stayed dead for like 6 years and he's aged like 3-4 years using the Time Chamber and Whis' place.

And Vegeta has aged like 4 years too using the same things, I believe.

So Vegeta is closer to 50 and Goku is more like 40 at this point.

Goku should be 40 (he was born 44 years ago but was dead for eight years and spent four years in the HTC) and Vegeta should be 53 (born 48 years ago but spent five years in the HTC).

Assuming I'm not missing some more time dilation stuff, which i might.

Damn they are fucking old. Ok not that old there middle-aged really & even then if they were human well Goku at least still has a couple good years left before his body starts deteriorating due to age. Vegeta not so much, if he was human at this point he's gonna have to cut back on the training. He's lucky he's a Saiyan.

Still though they are old & there still the main protagonists of a shonen show. The only thing I can name of that has its protagonists age but still stay in the spotlight is Jojo but even then the main characters are always the younger descendants with the older casts taking a more supporting role.

Its fucking amazing honestly that Goku is still the star. He truly is the shonen Superman.

Saiyans stay young until 75 so they have a few decades left.

Bulma, Tenshinhan, and Yamcha should be 47. Krillin is 44. Chi-Chi is 43. Oolong is 40.

Also, I was wrong about Goku's age because the DB wiki's timeline is dumb. Checking the Daizenshuu 7 myself, Goku was born 43 years ago and is thus now 39.

Really, the Daizenshuu 7's timeline is weird. It mentions things like the birth of Boss Rabbit and General Blue but not Puar.

Also, I've noticed that there are people out there that legitimately think Tien's stronger than Krillin despite him not having the power-boosts Krillin got in the Frieza Saga and a few episodes ago.

@Rinsan: I'm not saying I agree with them, but I feel like noting that Krillin never trained under King Kai.

Tien is stronger because Krillin slacked off and lost most of his power while Tien trains every day before breakfast.

To be fair to them, Tenshinhan was stronger than Krillin ever since his debut, up until Krillin got his potential unlocked by Guru, and there's really no reason to assume that training with Kaio didn't give benefits comparable to Guru. Really, the only thing that says Krillin is stronger is Word of God, and Toriyama's said things and taken them back before, while the evidence for Tenshinhan being stronger is the precedent the series set for the human pecking order ever since he was introduced.

Unless they've never experienced Dragon Ball, and the only thing they have to judge the two on is that Tenshinhan is bigger, more muscular, more serious, and his Kikoho actually does shit, albeit rarely. In that case, screw them for stereotyping the cowardly little guy as the weaker one.

Don't the advertisements for the current arc call Krillin the strongest human?

Oh I know. It makes sense. I just get the impression they won't be rolling back the word of god when they fight in this arc.

There's been some Loophole Abuse regarding Tenshinhan by saying that he's not fully human (as evidenced by his third eye), therefore he's not qualified as being the "strongest human".

And this isn't Fan Wank, as far as I know, but Word of God (or Word of St. Paul at the very least).

Yeah, no. Coming from a clan of people who have three eyes doesn't mean he's not an Earthling.

As I understand it, Toriyama has Flip-Flopped all over the place on this matter, with "descended from a clan of three-eyed humans" being another explanation, and in another instance claiming that the third eye is a result of attaining enlightenment.

I'm not arguing one way or the other on this, I'm just pointing out that looking for Word of God on this issue is not likely to yield a conclusive result.
