[Discussion] Saiyans tail reappearing

[ultraChalk]

Question, so would you consider the Saiyans tail simply a dominant gene gone recessive due to the chopping off of it?

Is it possible, even in the slightest of possibility that a whatever-amount Saiyan inherit that recessive gene to go Ape mode?

lel, of course they can grow it back.

 

[ultraChalk]

I thought it would only grow back a couple times then stop growing

then why has trunks or nobody else not grew a tail back

 

[silverflash]

it is said that they cut it themselves

trunks is a half-saiyan, plus their tails were removed at birth. its highly possible that his tail will grow back if they ask bulma to help him.

 

[Young Vongola]

Toriyama admitted he forgot about tails, and consequently forgot to draw Goten and Trunks' tails. They probably won't show up again, it would be pointless also.

 

[Defence]

It's a dominant gene because all saiyans have it from birth

I always thought Goku's tail was removed (for ever) by some magic, used by Kami (he is Guardian after all).

Why others never got it after Frieza Saga, could be called plot hole. But I doubt that considering Krillin asked Bulma, when he first time saw Trunks, "Where is his tail?".

I am under impression that Vegeta, Gohan and Trunks' tails were removed by Kami during time skip between Frieza and Android saga by same "magic" he used on Goku. Goten's tail was removed during time skip between Cell and Buu saga.

Ah, thanks.

Is there a possibility a saiyan down the road could regrow it?

I'm not sure how that works because Goku and Vegeta haven't grown their tails back since they were chopped off. Gohan had one an it never returned.
I don't even remember Goten & Trunks having one at all.... so maybe toriyama forgot or there is some kind of a genetic trait that's passed on as long as the tail isn't cut off. Remember they lose their true power once their tails are cut off.
