Is Goku the oldest shonen main character that exist right now? (age wise)

He must be near 40 in the current super act, right? thats a lot when you compare him to most anime main characters

this guy's like 89

>saiyan

>old

Of the ones with an ongoing series right now?

Probably unless you count Alibaba's 'felt like a 100 years passed while I was kind of dead.

If you count all, you also have people like Taikoubou who was 72.

he is still alive after arc iv right?
R-right?

But Joseph is no longer the main character of the series, he steped aside for Jotaro to take the mantle and he was not that helpful in part 3, and even worst on part 4. On the other hand Goku is still overshadowing all the cast of Dragon ball as the only MC

>He must be near 40 in the current super act
Considering Bulma said she's 38, then Goku should be somewhere between 30-35.

So he's a 30-35 year old grandfather.

true, but there are some rumors that Bulma lied about her age and she es almost 41, also you need to add all the years he has spend in the time chamber at Kami's

Post part 2 he is not the MC anymore and he dies.

Meliodas.

nigga do you even watch animu

It's fairly more complicated than that
If I recall correctly, you don't age while you're dead
how much time did Goku stayed dead? 8 years?
Should we be counting those?
Also we have to take into account the times he's been into the hyperbolic time chamber, how many times has he been in there, like 4?
Maybe more
He might be older than Bulma

Goku has spent roughly one year at Kami's time chamber.

He then spent an additional three years with Vegeta in the one Whis had.

>shonen
read nigga read

according to a db wiki goku was born age 737, super is currently at age 780, making him 43. however he's been dead for 8 years, making him biologically 35

forgot about the spirit room, but he only entered that once, so 36

...

user...

He entered it again in Super. Add an additional 3 years to his age making him 39.

Bulma is 4 years older than Goku, that much is irrefutable.

Between the beginning of DBZ and the beginning of DBS, roughly 18 years has passed.

Goku was 24 at the start of DBZ.

24 + 18 = 42

Goku is 42 years old by normal aging conventions.

But he has died. Twice. If you don't include the duration of his death towards his age, then you'd have to subtract 8 years.

42 - 1 - 7 = 34

Minus one year for his first death, when he sacrificed himself so that Piccolo can kill Raditz. Then minus another seven years for when he blew himself up with Cell, and voluntarily stayed dead for that long.

Now, if you include the time spent in the hyperbolic time chamber, you'd be adding 4 years.

The first time Goku tried out the chamber, he was a kid, and he only lasted a month. That amount of time is negligible, so I'll exclude it from the calculations. He did, however, spend a year in there with Gohan, to prepare for Cell. Then another three years for when he and Vegeta were training for the Universe 6 tournament.

34 + 1 + 3 = 38

Goku is physiologically 38, but chronologically 42.

Bulma is 46 years old. Women like to lie about their age, especially the vain ones.

...

Battler should be eons older at this point de geso

neat

Why would ever think Bulma would tell the truth about her age.

thats a really cool analysis of Goku's age, nice user

>Dragonball Super is the first shonen where the main character is a middle aged grandfather who has his own business.

Umineko is not shounen. And Battler is not the protagonist.

>All that math.
2 things.
How is it Goku and Vegita could stay in there 3 years when they where told they can only stay in there 48 hours before the door for them disaper forever.

2. Just watch battle of gods, Bulma says "my 38th or 37th birthday birthday party"

>"my 38th or 37th birthday birthday party"
>Bulma says

It was a different Time Chamber.

Remember the first time chamber was destroyed by Piccolo when he thought that Gotencks was about to Job to Buu.

yes, she let it slip, because earlier she says its her 33rd birthday party and when she gets pissed off at Beerus she lets it slip accidentally.

You really think Bulma wouldn't be lying so long that she wouldn't fuck up her lie with another lie?

Well if you want actual proof, they did translate the art books that came out every so many years with the TV series that gives details about their ages at different points. Not some fan made book but those "library" ones that costed $100 or so back in the 90's to get in the states.

Bulma is a cunt and hits Beerus, even Vegita dosent know how old she is, but Vegita is older then Bulma.

>especially the vain ones
dont talk shit about my waifu

Oh, here, Daizenchu's is what they are called.

This is an example page, with explanations and concept sketches.

1. It was a rebuilt time chamber. Not too unreasonable to assume it's been upgraded. Barring that, the source material blatantly says that Goku & Vegeta have been training for the equivalent of three years in a chamber. I have no control over what the author has allowed to happen.

2. I'm well aware that Bulma claims to be 38 in BoG. I saw the movie. That very line was the reason why I looked into the whole issue with character age in the first place. I always suspected that number sounded too low, and I was right.

You're waifu's a literally canonically a whore

Actually then we are both wrong, I am checking it right now, she states she is 41 in the movie before she blurts out the truth, trying to find a clip of the truth now.

I thought he was 23 at the beginning of DBZ
oh well

fuck Im even more wrong.

Just found the clip on youtube, she blurts out she is 38 but earlier she is younger.

Not trying to be a dick user, just putting numbers out that may help your math, or something. Fuck if I know anymore.

A few things to consider:
>some of the ages might be slightly off from rounding up/down
>DB universe's calendar system might work differently
>Toriyma might be getting rusty with his own work (he has actually forgotten entire characters and defining characteristics of some characters before)
>the worst offender of all: certain dubs change the characters' ages (and most of us have watched whatever dub was local to us)

goku is older at the end z when he fights uub

DBZ's final episode is a 4 or 5 year timeskip.

It technically happens *after* DBS.

Just use Gohan. Goku was 23 when Gohan was 4 making Bulma 27. When Gohan is 16, Bulma would be 39. She can't have been 38 in BoG.

Just stop dude. Bulma's a lying old hag.

>Bulma is 23 years older than Gohan
>she's been looking at him with bedroom eyes in the future timeline
Goddamn cougars going after fresh meat.

Yep, Araki mentioned in an interview that he's still alive at the end of part 6.

>mfw black goku is just goku from the current timeline that just hits his head so hard he goes back to his saiyan programming

Goku is 38? Great as old as me then. It's nice to not have 20 years seniority on my shounen hero.

Black called Trunks a "Saiyan" in a derogatory way. He's more likely to be a creation of someone who really resents Saiyans.

but hes goku... so was he body snatched again???

wait I thought bulma was in her 30s?
Wait, the never celebrate goku's birthday, or vegeta for that matter... Do they even have one

I wish that ssj3 with tail concept stayed in.

Bulma was in her late 20s when Gohan was introduced.

If you think it's possible for her to stay in her 30s while Gohan grows up, graduates university, gets married, and has a kid of his own, then you've got brain problems, pendejo.

>captain ginyu mastered goku's body, killing krillin and gohan out of spite and keeping veggie alive for torturing and keeping actual goku inside the frog, helpless

Correct answer. Surprised this wasnt first reply.

In Jaco the Galactic Patrolman it's said that Goku was three when he was sent to Earth, so he's actually only two years younger than Bulma. He's biologically 40 at this point in Super.

...

Fuken nice

>tfw Bra should be born some time in the current year
>they have to pack as much content in that little time or the final episodes of dbz will no longer be canon

we don't know if gohan "knew"(assumed) that goku was around 3 years when he met him though, meaning it could be that gohan figured he was around that age and then counted from that point on.

you made one slight mistake
at then end you said
>but chronologically 42
you forgot the time chambers here, thus he is chronologically(as in his mind/soul) 46 years old then

During the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, Goku said that he was 12. Gohan probably just started counting Goku's age from the day he found him, so Goku thinks he's three years younger than he actually is.

It's weird that Saiyans stay babies for 3 years. I wonder if female Saiyans had pouches.

>During the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, Goku said that he was 12.
the point is, if we don't know whether gohan counted from zero or from three, goku would only know how old he is from gohans teachings plus mutenroshis math.

considering his short height i think it is reasonable to assume he was indeed 12

Have you read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman? I don't think you understand what I'm saying. We know that Goku was 3 when Bulma was 5, there's nothing to speculate.

>Have you read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman
a few years ago
> We know that Goku was 3 when Bulma was 5
that's the first time you have brought this up, and if that was indeed confirmed that bulma was 5 at that time, then yes, you have a case

...

New character DBS

>Zamasu
>VA: Shinichirou Miki
Doesn't say anything much other than him being a Kaioushin and teases what his true identity might really be.

I don't think so.

Another one

that's for the game Xenoverse

>Bills and whis fusion
looks like dragon ball fusion not xenoverse 2

That's for the fusions video game not Xenoverse 2

also ginyu and gohan fusion

But Goku died couple of times and stayed dead for some years... not to mention we was in Time Chamber couple times so he moved forward and backwards around 10 years...

I think he is around 30 at the end of DB Z... and there is a lot of evidence.

this

3000+ years

What the hell

DB Videogames always go crazy with fusions/hybrids and what-ifs like Cellin (Cell+Krillin), Tiencha (Tien + Yamcha), adult Gotenks, even SS4 Broly.

79*

Joseph, Rohan and Giorno survived Made in Heaven effect and they live now in Ireneverse.

pedo

goku is dead like 10+ years already you stupid fuck

nah i think he was created

maybe a test tube baby? i dont know how they would get goku's dna though, unless they dug up his body

How long until we get Super Saiyan God Brolly?

Fan-fiction

Goku and Vegeta spend time in Whis Hyperbolic Time Chamber, that's 4 more years

why people think about this? it's not even the same world

holy shit you are retarded

You need to make sure your post makes sense before calling other people retarded

Cool analysis man

>In the manga,Goku does indeed use Super Saiyan God in the manga version. Goten calls it Super Saiyan Red, but Trunks corrects him for being dumb and tells him it's Super Saiyan God. So they seem to be making fun of themselves.

>Goku has the ability to transform and make himself stronger than Hit, but his Time-Skip is troublesome. So he conserves energy throughout the battle by transforming to only the stage he needs at the time.

>Goku in Super Saiyan God is stated to be stronger than Vegeta in Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (while fighting Hit), and Goku can still utilize the latter transformation himself to grow even stronger. (Feels like karma for the anime bullshit of having Vegeta skip SSG.)

>No SSGSS Kaio-ken.
Holy shit, you cant make this shit up

So which one is canon, the anime or the manga?

toriyama did :^)

>Fun note. Hit doesn't use ki/stamina to perform his Time-Skip. He can use it indefinitely without weakening himself, but can't use it when drained. As he states that he might only be able to handle one more Time-Skip at full power before it runs out.

>Goku is stronger than Hit in terms of pure power with just SS, but he uses up too much stamina to keep up in that form. Goes SSG.

>Hit can only fully Time-Stop opponents for the full 0.1 seconds if they're weaker than him. The further they are above him, the less it lasts. So when goku goes SSG, he has trouble holding him back the full time.

>Unlike the anime where hit has a set level of power at first, and then later makes huge gains to his power and improved Time-Skip via "growth", Manga!Hit is just hiding his true power at first and unleashes it to counter SSG. He says it's been so long since he used it, that it may not even last a minute.

>My biggest issue with the anime is solved here. Goku doesn't ask for the tournament to be turned into a death match. He realizes that, being an assassin, Hit is restricted by the rules. So he just exits the ring and asks to fight again some other time.

>Vegeta isn't significantly weaker than Goku after all. Transforming into SSGSS burns through a lot of stamina and power. You can't use it multiple times in a row, even in short bursts. Transforming to show off for Cabba rended him to around 1/10 his full power against Hit.

>Zeno's assistants don't seem to say Arale's "Bye'cha", at least not in the Korean version. That's...something.. I guess?

>ginyu and gohan fusion
Litearlly who wants this

People who want poses I guess

The anime simply because nobody gives a fuck about the manga

Wow

The manga is so much better than the anime.

>name son Trunks
>Name daughter Bra

I don't think I'll ever get over it.

I remember that Goku couldn't count until later in DB and say he was actually 14 not 12.
