Is this correct (I’m sure it is, but there is a question I got to ask after this.)? I’m not counting the death rule:

Beginning to Grand-Pa Gohan meeting - 12
22nd Tenkaichi-Budokai to meeting Kami-sama & Mr. Popo & starting training - 15
23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai - 18

Introducing Gohan to Dying - 23
Revived & vs Vegeta/Nappa/Freeza & people - 24
Return to earth - 25
Cyborg’s arrival - 28
vs Cell & death - 29/30
Boo-saga - 36/37
Epilogue - 46/47

My question where was it stated again that Goku & Gohan & them only trained or were planning to train a year in RoSaT in Cell-saga?

Any-way things started getting quite difficult when 260 days (8 & a half+ months) & 10+ months in RoSaT also happened. That’s quite a-bit over a year & a half. Also Vegeta & Nappa also arrived more than a month prior to expected arrival, but then again Goku trained a month in RoSaT for the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai, so yeah.

Also all-together it took about 46-ish days or so, if I’m not mistaken from the fight against Vegeta to Goku’s arrival on Namek.

The next day they were in the hospital. (1 day)
Bulma says she can get the ship ready in 5 days if she tries fast enough. (5 days)
It took 34 days after launch for them to reach Namek. (34 days)
6 days for Goku to reach Namek with his ship. (6 days)

Chapter 243 - page 10
Chapter 245 - page 2
Chapter 246 - last page
Chapter 250 - page 14 & said a few other times

so count that to the 260 days & 10 months

well he got deleted many times during the z era so in the z era he would be around 90 years old but still look like hes in his 30s

althought i think it was in gt that vegeta mentioned to bulma that sayions do not age like earthlings

He's 13 in the Red Ribbon arc, 16 in Tenshinhan/Daimaoh arc, 19 in Piccolo Jr arc, 24 start of DBZ, 25 in Freeza arc, 27 when Trunks shows up, 30 in the Android/Cell arc, 31 after ROSAT, still 31 in the Boo arc because dead, and 41 at the end of the mango

Kind-of impossible when Goku himself says he’s 12 & there isn’t a time-jump between Red-Ribbon-Army & tournament.

also how is he 24 at the start of DragonBall Z but then 25 against Freeza when he was still 31 according to you in the Boo saga? Keep the rule of death consistent, would you?

How was only in the other world for around 8 years in total, minus one year in the rosat. So he'd look around 6 years younger than his real age.

Yeh that's true they don't physically age as fast. I don't know if that's in canon too.

I think they said before going into the rosat that they'd go in an hour each. Or maybe Vegeta and Trunks was two hours and then Goku and Gohan went for two but left early when Goku believed Gohan was ready.

He's 12 but nearly 13 in the tournament. He turned 13 the day after. He's 16 at the next tournament, because it was a leap year during the 21st tournament, but King Fury abolished leap years after Roshi destroyed the moon, changing the Earth's rotation slightly, so Goku got older a day quicker.

source: trust me I read Dragon Ball for breakfast (help me, I'm malnourished)

Are you sure? I thought it was kind-of weird myself, but it must have been a some-what long time at-least because both Gohan (especially) & Trunks grew-up a-bit after coming-out.

Gokuu and Gohan were in the ROSAT for about 10 months. They planned to stay there for one day but only stayed for 21.

Here’s the completely irrelevant math. AT liked having incidents take-place on May. Cell-Games too. At the very-least Goku was 12 & 8 months at the 21st Tenkaichi-Budokai, if Goku turned 12 on the day he met Bulma or the day before l0l.

Goku was 23 & 8 months vs Raditz. I assume if Goku was 23 on the dot it’d just be said it had been over 4 years since the tournament & like I said AT liked May. Also technically I guess I could add the 1 month (or was it less than a month?) for the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai training which’d mean he is 23 & 9 months here but what-ever.

was 24 & 6-7 months for the Saiya-Jins. Some-one who knows Japanese, does Kame-sen’nin say more than a month expected or a month earlier? That’d help.

was 24 & 7-8 months on Planet-Namek until Planet-Namek exploding.

was 26 & 4-5 months (because left-over days add-up to an extra month) when he returned to earth.

was 29 & 4-5 months vs the Cyborgs & heart-virus

was 30 & 2-3 months at the Cell-Games

& also 3 days went by when he had the heart-virus IIRC & then another 9 days after he exited RoSaT so 12 days total.

Maybe I made a mistake some-where.

You're probably old enough to be my dad.

I don't think it's normal to bully someone who is young enough to be your son. You should be ashamed of yourself.

As someone in their 40's you should help a mentally handicapped kid who is in their 20's not bully them. You're probably twice my age or more so you should be kind and act as my mentor or teacher in life instead of destroying my life with your evil. The older generation should lead the younger one.
