Sort of. Unless it's changed recently, it's really weird.
Sexualizing minors is also part of Japan's uncomfortable relationship with Patriarchal values, sex, and relationships.
I mean, the Sailor Senshi are fourteen years old. That says it all right there.

There's that too, yes. Goku and Gohan both get full frontal nude scenes in Dragon Ball. They're just not sexualized nude scenes.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.That might be more Artistic Age than anything, they sure as fuck don't look like fourteen year olds.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.ewww ewww eww ewww ewww ewww ewww ewww eeewwwwwww
But how much is that in pig years?
Also, ewwww
So I was going to joke about Vegeta being an awful person but.
Then you started talking about the kidnapper and rapist so.
So Oolong was like ten years old back in Dragon Ball (if Goku was about 12)?
He was 23 at the start of the Saiyan saga (if Goku being 25 is accurate)?
Seriously?
.......He tried to rape Bulma? What the fuck Japan? Seriously?
One Strip! One Strip!So, I'd like to say that Dragon Ball started about 31 years ago. It just fascinates me how old this series is.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Oolong is a shapeshifter, I'm not sure how age really applies to him.
Sure Goku is too, but a much more limited one.
Buldogue's lawyerWhat amazes me is the sheer vitality of this franchise. The original anime ended in 1997- 18 years ago! There has been a whole new generation of shonen since then. The franchise sort of lingered in the realm of licensed video games but no one actually expected that we'd get new series again. And yet here we are.
edit:
Well, not in DB, of course. My bad. I need to read better.

I have a message from another time...Ya know, since Pu'ar is such a superior shapeshifter, why doesn't he train with other Z-Fighters?
Have the ability to fight and shapeshift can be very useful!
Also, apparently Time Breaker Bardock with the broken mask is it's own form in DBH, which I just learned a few minutes ago.

The idea that someone could voluntarily alter their cellular and molecular structure suggests they might be able to fight off long term cellular degeneration as well. That's the logic behind Mystique looking as young as her son and daughter in X-men anyway.
Buldogue's lawyerUnless Oolong studied biology and has taken to dissecting Saiyans to see how they work, I doubt his transformation into a Saiyan would do any more than a transformation into a Giant Robot.

And she was 16 in the first arc. Great job, Toriyama.
