Amorphous Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I'm guessing since he is a human and he is incredibly fit he dosen't change much. I mean in real life look at Jackie Chan he dosen't to much different now then he did a few years ago did he. But still that is alot of years that have passed, its just they way they made him, its really not that big of deal in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Yeah, Jackie Chan is a good example. He's almost 50! Some people just don't age all that much. If you look at Bulma, she actually starts to look younger at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Actually the difference is about 5 years. Bulma and yamcha were about 17 during a db tournament when they found out gokou was 12. Plus, the idea of yamcha being younger looking than gokou is an interesting one, because saiyans do not age the same way as humans. Saiyans have a much longer "prime" of their lives and appear to age at a much slower rate than humans. Thats why chi chi looked so much older while gokou didnt change at all. (although, artistically he did change) So for yamcha to appear younger is just a coincedental thing. He is older, yes, and he is a human, so he does age more dramatically. Sooo... this is probably a thing that is for each of us individuals to decide on. Its nothing written into the story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] You took the words right out of my mouth. :) Although Yamcha does seem younger than Goku, he is older and is supposed to look it, what with Goku being a Saiya-jin and having the genetics to look in his prime. What I'm wondering is, does this go the same with half Saiya-jins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever seen, or seen pictures from, the DragonBall GT television special that came after the actual series, Pan was very very old. I forget the actual age, but not only was she old, but she [i]looked[/i] old. Given, Pan is only one-fourth Saiya-jin, but if it happens for her, I think it would happen for a half Saiya-jin simply for the presence of human genetics allowing them to age.

She still seems to have original hair color, so I believe that the "prime" genetics very well may go the same for part Saiya-jins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given, she does look pretty good for being one hundred years old (but its Pan so she always looks good. ;)), you might take into account that she was a bit of a fighter. So, she is probably in pretty good shape, especially if she continued her training and such even after DragonBall GT. Of course her tomboyishness probably came from her Saiya-jin side, so her genetics probably played some role in how she ages. Not to mention she was not one to wear make-up either. :p Some of that stuff can cause your skin to wrinkle, and she does not seem to have many of those except for a few. I would say that her Saiya-jin blood might slow her aging a bit, but nothing too significant. So perhaps, Gohan, being half Saiya-jin, aged slower than her, and so forth. It was never really explained, so we really do not know...[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 [size=1]Regular exercise can keep someone looking young for decades, so it isn't much of a surprise that Yamcha hardly seems to age during the course of the series. As for Goku and Vegeta, I'm not an expert on Saiya-jin genetics, but it does seem like Vegeta is older. That is probably due to the fact that he is always pissed off though, and he has a much older voice in the English dub. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegitto4 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I didn't look to see if this was posted, however, think about it Bulma doesn't look older than chi chi................. There enough said. Until one of them said something, nobody was the wiser, if you weren't thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more soft (excpet when she is yelling) and a bit more choppy as people's voices tend to get when they become older. ChiChi's voice is very strong, though, and demanding. Of course, if you have seen DragonBall, then you know who is older. :p[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foredaddy Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 How old was Goku at the end of GT? I was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merchant Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Also i would say that Bulma is the "hot chick" (no ofence meant by this) of the series while chi chi is meant to be the "strick mother", so thats why i think she looks younger than chi chi.
