Krillin's age...

question: At the very end of Dragonball GT, you see Goku flying on Shenron and you see Yamcha. He looks a bit older but he has no grey hairs and hes as buff as always. Then you see Krillin who's supposedly like 5 years younger than Yamcha, based on the original Dragonball series, and he has grey/white hairs and looks like hes 70. wtf is with that 0_o i would also say the same thing about goku compared to krillin, but saiyans may age differently. i used yamcha since he, like krillin, is 100% human

Saiyans looks young their whole life. I think they stop aging (in appearance) when they hit 20. Then no matter what age they are, they look the same.

Do you know how much older Krillin is than Goku as well?

Krillin is only one year older than Goku. In Dragonball when Goku was 12, he was 13. In DBGT, Krillin is either 57 or 58, depending on the years you go by throughout the series. Goku and Chi-Chi are the same age and a year younger. Bulma was revealed to be 4 years older than Goku(16 in Dragonball), making he roughly 60 in GT. Tien and Yamcha are the exact same age as her, making them 60 too. Vegeta and Hercule are a year or two older, making them either 61 or 62.

Ten years before GT, in the last 3 episodes of DBZ, Goku comments how Bulma looks old(she's 50), and that's when Vegeta reveals that saiyans age more slowly than humans so they can fight longer. So despite the fact that Vegeta is over 60, he looks only in his 40s or early 50s at the most.

And actually, about that comment with Yamcha, if you look real closely in the final episode, you'll actually notice that he indeed has gray strands in his hair. They're only noticeable if you look closely though.

Also, characters don't age the same, even when they're in the same age group. For example, Bulma's parents are older than Chi-Chi's Dad, but her mother has NO wrinkles at all during the series, despite the fact that she has to be at least 60 during the Buu Saga because Bulma is 40 during that time period. Also, Dr. Briefs has gray hair and wrinkles even in his forties(back in Dragonball), but Chi-Chi's dad(Ox-King) doesn't get his gray hair until after his great-granddaughter, Pan, is born.

Basically, I guess Krillin just aged faster than the others.

I doubt those are all correct.

I found that Bulma is about 8 years older than Goku.

And Vegeta looked very young to be over 10 in the Bardock special.

I figured that he was around 4.(That would make Bulma a bit older.

I couldn't tell how old Chi chi probably was in Dragon ball so you may be right there.

The rest is probably just your thought cause that much specific info wasn't given.(Bulma's mother almost looks about the age of Bulma due to some freaky-phyco no aging secret that doesn't make sense.)

Goku was a baby in the Bardock special, and Vegeta wa 5 or 6 years old. Goku states that in dragoball that he's 12, and Bulma says that she's 16, making them four years apart. Those ages are confirmed in the series, so no, I'm not wrong about them. Also, Krillin does mention that he's a year older than Goku. As for all my other information, if you add each year that passes by in the series, you'll end up with the ages that I have.

DBZ takes place 5 years after Dragonball, the first series. Goku and Chi-Chi are 18(or 19, depending on rather you add that extra year after the fight with Pilaf, though, I don't count this year because Goku says that he's 12 years old still, and everyone elses ages are the same too), making them 23 years old at the start of DBZ.

A year passes after Piccolo kills Goku and Raditz, and another year passes after the Frieza saga. One more year passes after the Garlic Jr. saga. That's three years total, making Goku and Chi-Chi 26, and Bulma 30. Future Trunks shows up and tells them that in 3 years, the Androids will come. After those three years pass, Goku is 29, and Bulma is 33. 7 years pass after the Buu saga, making Bulma 40 years old. Because Bulma's mother has to at least be 20 years older, that would make her around 60 in late DBZ. Ten years pass and DBZ ends, then GT takes place another ten years later. That's how I came up with the ages. By strictly watching the series, and every time a year passed or more, I increased their ages by how many years passed.

I already know most ages for the most of Dragon ball.

You are again jumping to conclusions on some things.

Vegeta didn't look 6 either(what version did you watch?)

Many characters never had ages mentioned from the start but you still claim to know many.

Maybe I read false info because I read that Goku was 8 then another one read that he was 12.(Goku doesn't look or even sound 12)

I don't remember it being stated that Yamcha and Tien were the same age either.(possible)

Chi chi also looked older than Goku somewhat.

For Yamcha and Tien, not stated, but pretty much implied. Bulma is 16 in Dragonball, and judging by their appearances in GT, they can't be any older than her, and they certainly aren't younger. Again, though, Goku and Bulma stated their ages in dragonball, 12 and 16. Goku tells his age during the tournament, and Bulma states hers earlier on in the series. Krillin also states his. By now you should be aware that appearances have nothing to do with how old a character is. That's been proven throughout the series.

As for Vegeta, he is either 6 or 5. I mean, he's older than Bulma, but not judging by GT, he's not too old, therefore, those are his possible ages in the Bardock Special. That be said, he's about 5 or 6 years older than Goku despite how old he might look. Also, there's an official timeline you might be able to find on the internet somewhere(not sure where, but it has been confirmed to be official) that helps you figure this out.

I would have to agree with C.H on this on on almost everything he says. I dont remember Goku saying he was 12, but I do remember Bulma saying she was 16 at the begging on dragonball, but since he said he was 12 in the tournament and three years pass since the begginging of dragonball and the tournament, I mean three years always pass before tournament thats how mant years before one. In any case that being true Goku had to be like 9 at the begging of Dragonball.

Also I heard on TV or a video of DBZ or somewhere that Goku was 25 in the begging on DBZ which makes sense if you configure the ages in dragonball. 9-12 from begging of dragonball to the tournament, I'm guessing like 5-6 months passed till the Tien saga, or maybe less but then or maybe exactly three years, or maybe 6 months did pass since then and then 2 and a half years making Goku 14 and a half for the next tournament which he fought Tien in. And I am guessing another 6 months from that time till the Baba saga (which of course included the Red ribbion army saga). Or maybe just 4 months, either 2-3 months later (im guessing) King Piccolo saga came along which Goku had to be 15 around then. And then after the saga wow he would be 18 which doesent make any sense cause if he was 18 then he would 23. Maybe he was 23...interesting.

No, Goku was 12 during the Pilaf saga, the very first saga in dragonball. Bulma is 16 at that same time. The tournmanent had started yet, so there was no 3 years later when he met Krillin. The Pilaf saga and the tournment take place in the same time zone.

However, 3 years DID pass after they when he was in the next tournament. This was the first tournament Tien and Chaotzu fought in. This is when he's 15, and Krillin is 16. The Piccolo saga takes place in this same time.

3 years pass after this, and the final tournament takes place. Piccolo is reborn and fights Goku in this tournament who is now 18 years old.

DBZ takes place 5 years later, making Goku 23.

Teddy, you don't have to guess. The years are given to you in the series.

Pilaf saga/1st Tournament: 12

Tien/Chaoutzu meeting/Next tournament/Piccolo Saga: 15

Last Saga in dragonball: 18

3 years pass from the following to the next. Some ppl may count a hidden year between Pilaf saga and the 1st tournament, and if you did this, that'll make Goku 19 at the end of DB and 24 in the beginning of DBZ, but other than that, the years are given to you. No confusion UNLESS you start implying and adding in years that arent there, then that's when you mess up.

I give up on this for a while.

There is no way to track exactly every characters age like what C.H. claims.

It's just impossible unless you asked Toriyama what he was thinking at the time.

lol, well, not every single, but there are a couple that are stated in the series, and many "implied". You're just thinking to hard....

May 13, 2008

C.H is right TZF, some ages are stated and some are well there known or implied. Some of course you wouldent know. Like Freiza, Zarbon, Dodoria, Nappa, Bardock, Buu, Babidi, Cell (ironcally you cant name the ages of the three main villains. Well you could guess), Supreme Kai and the other Kais, Kabito, ect. Uub you would know is 20 at the begging of GT since 10 years passed since the fight with Kid Buu and I beleive Goku even said he was ten. And then another ten years between end of DBZ and begging of GT. Also like C.H said there are timelines on sites, heck I even know one but they are arent all acurate.

Teddyis20

What are you repeating yourselves for?

This is like around the 3rd time that I said that some ages were easy to guess or stated.

You are both right in a way(so am I) but if you haven't already guessed this is like a friggine broken record.

And no C.H. I'm not thinking hard into this at all.

I've wondered about these sorts of stuff before and even figured a few out.

It's funny how Piccolo looks so much older and wiser than Goku when Goku is way older than Piccolo.

I do know that Krillin is a bit older than Goku but not exactly by date.

TRUE Z FAN

I never said that you were wrong 0_0...you are also right. And yes that is funny. If you consider that dragonball to dbz is 5 years and from the time Piccolo hatched from his age and to the tournament 3 years passed making him like 8 at the begging of dragonball Z which means hes only 4 and a half years older then Gohan at that time and it appears as thoguh he could be 35 or 40 not to mention that he was treating Gohan as thoguh he was lower then him. AND not to mention that about 13 years appeard before the fusion saga making him about 21, and when Piccolo was going to fight Super buu before Gohan appeard Goten said "You dont have to worry about fighting because youre old." Yet he was barley an adult.

Not to mention 10 years later he had to be around 31 before the tournament where Goku foguht Uub someone asked him if he was going to fight and he said "Im getting to old for this." What? Even if he was just 30-33 and he might appear to be 40 or 50, so what? 30 isint old.... it isint even middle aged.

Teddyis20

I see your point, TZF.

I guess Piccolo just ages faster.... how and why, no clue. Must be something in his body after he was hatched....

Judging by the last episode of GT, not past 120+. I'm sure you might make a small deal about my guessing again, TZF, but if Vegeta or Trunks were still alive at the end of GT, I'm pretty sure they would've gone to see their descendant face-off against Goku Jr.

C.H.
May 13, 2008

I don't mind guessing as long as it isn't used against me as all complete true facts,thats all.

Guess if you like.

I believe that I remember Gt stating Pan's age or the time length from the middle of Gt to the end so you could estimate it from there right?

TRUE Z FAN

Pan is 114 at the end of GT. She's 14 during DBGT, as she was 4 at the end of DBZ. lol I sort did that backwards.
