goku's age is all wrong...

[mcmousy]

At the beginning of dragon ball, goku is 11 years old, he's 4 years younger than bulma (15 at the time) in battle of gods she's "37" which means goku is 33, but he isn't... When the 21st world martial arts tournament is happening the announcer asks goku his age,'goku says 12, so a year has passed, that is acceptable. 22nd world martial arts tournament a year has passed so goku is now 13, apparently (according to the dragon ball wikipedia page) the 23rd one takes 5 years after the 22nd one because it says that goku is now 18, but it also said 3 years had passed so goku SHOULD be 16...

Dbz takes place 5 years after the 23rd tournament, so goku is 21 (23 says wikipedia) then after the frieza saga goku takes 1 year to get back to earth in the shuttle pod so he Is now 22, then 3 years pass before the androids arrive so he is now 25, then he goes in the hyperbolic time chamber for a year, now 26... Goku then dies and stayed in other world for 7 years if he aged in other world he WOULD be 33. But he doesn't so he is still 26 years old, and when battle of gods happens, 4 years go by so goku is now 30 (would be 37 which is what BULMA IS SUPPOSED TO BE!) and by that logic that means bulma SHOULD be 41. But the movie states 37, so thanks to my research I have rustled some Jimmies and made goku younger.

Your welcome

Saying he is 11 years old at the start of DB is false--how can he go from being practically a full adult in his fight w piccolo jr and being a kid again king piccolo within one year?

*note* I used the anime series for the research. It takes less time to do said research cos the anime does 2/3 manga chapters

That's the point. He can't... And it wasnt just one year that went by.Wikipedia says he did 3 years
... So I based my logic on that. So goku SHOULD be 16

lol. Wow that's a lot of timeline tracking yo! Good job

Or Bulma lied about her age which is a typical joke about females and you wasted your time figuring this out.

Find out next week on Dragon Ball Z

i always pictured him mid to late 20's at the start of dbz, in his 30's for the android saga, and around 40 for the buu saga

also i think bulma lied about her age

 

[mcmousy]

A thing which would be good to put out there... Dragon ball super: Beerus comes to earth a couple of MONTHS after the death of kid buu, so goku might be 27. Which forces it to make even less sense! Cos bulma still says she's 37, so now suddenly there is a 10 year difference between them two, wtf happened to the other 6 years? Did bulma go in the hyperbolic time chamber (to get away from vegeta)?

This math hurt my brain.

If people did age in otherworld,then just younger then 40..
he was 16 in the 23rd tournament, 21 the start of dbz, 22 when he comes to wreck nappa and vegeta, 23 when he arrives back on earth, 26 at the start of the androids saga, 27 cos of the time chamber, 34 for the 2nd other world time, 38 at battle of gods

 

[Complex]

Bulma isn't 37 in BOG, she lied to make herself seem young

 

[Nick01]

I thought the tournaments happen every 3 years.
After the first one didn't Goku go train on his own for 3 years until the next tournament, which introduced tien and his clown.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

Lol, the series has never been know for it's strong plot.

DBZ and now naruto (after garden) timeline doesn't make sense for shit, can't wait to see how they ass pull Pam's age in DBZ. She was 4 years old 10 years after fight with buu--aka she was born 6 years after buu fight. But battle of gods and resurrection of F were not 6 years taken place after buu---makes 0 sense

The tenkaichi budokai happened every 3 years
He was 15 in his second tournament and 18 when he won.
