welp, it seems that the age difference between goku and pan is 42, and seeing that pan was just born so that makes goku actually 42.Originally Posted by David75
still if you see yourself as goku... i am sorry but all i have to say to you is that its about time you grow up >.>
Proxy was too strong, of course, like for any fiction.
Just to remind you, everyone is too old to be in that thread in the first place.
My answer then was just to point that some people had other references with dragonball because their young age was before dbz, in the db era.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
QFT......
Peace.
ill agree that we are all too old for this thread actually, but ill say that because of that i can actually see things from a different point of view, instead of asking for things like "why is gohan so weak he is such a disappointment" i can talk about his stronger attributes as a character as a whole...
on the other hand you are implying that "other people" (you in this case...) had references with dragon ball before dbz when they were young because they are older, which by itself is completely false...
first of all we are talking in an era where the internet didnt exist, so unless you lived in japan or knew japanese at a young age (most unlikely) and had tons of money for imports... you actually didnt watched "at the same era" as when it was released but saw it when it was translated in your country... for example db was translated to latin america in 1994-5(?) almost 9 years after the release of the first episode...
second of all, you can always give video tapes/digital copies to a 5 year old kid of dragon ball at any time and he will also "grown up" watching goku and krillin training at roshi's "in the db era"
W´re not too old to immerse ourselves with Mutenroshi, though. The best kind of immersion!!1

We've only had a 2 years lag in France, started spring 1986 in Japan, spring 1988 in France. Which is quite small since there's the dubing and all.
As for tapes and all. You could always do that with young children, but not preteens or teens as they have to share common interrest at school.
So back to the real topic, yes Gohan never grew his potential as a fighter. That's his choice, even in our world where you see war/battles everywhere, not everyone chooses to fight. He became a side character like Krillin himself. Too bad ? Maybe.
He's not even a scholar or scientist that could help the plot move forward like Bulma.

France and Japan. What a weird couple.
Peace.
Yup, the first japanese restaurant was opened in Paris in 1956-58 (date varies depending on the sources)
There's been some exchanges over the last 200 years, but I guess WWII and post war strifes in Japan helped some Japanese go abroad and we got some of them here in France. Among them some artists, so we got manga and anime starting quite early for example.
And now even even have JapanExpo, said to be one of the major conventions of the world.
For the record, my very young years were Goldorak (UFO Robo Grendizer), San Ku Kai, Candy Candy, Captain Future, Captain Harlock. The earliest episode I can remember was in 1978-1979, right around the time you can start to remember things as a human being.
So I guess watching anime, reading a few manga and listening to Japanese music (not that much actually), comes from the fact I've had some contact with the culture for a very long time. Even dubbed, anime and tokusatsu still pass quite a lot of cultural elements after all.

Gohan is as much of a proxy as Yamcha, considering they`re both featured about the same amount of screen time.

At least Gohan achieved something. Yamcha is...where exactly?
They finally decided it wasn't even worth pretending he was relevant and he's not even a side character at this point.
Unfortunately, so is Tien now. Krillin is BARELY holding on at this point.
And that really hurts, but it's actually because of DBZ Abridged. Krillin is one of the best characters on that, so it'll suck that eventually, there will be a point where he's barely around anymore.
Isn´t that point ... a long time in the past?
I once mentioned it: I still hope that at some point we´ll see humans getting a significant upgrade. It is ridiculous how weak humans are compared to ... ANY alien species. I´m sure that Kuririn is the strongest human fighter. And look what that is. There really ought to be some new arc focusing on humans getting an upgrade. For example activating god-mode, too. God-mode shouldn´t be species-exclusive, since both Beerus and Goku can use it. Maybe that´d be a way to close the gap, instantly putting Kuririn on the same/slightly below level as Goku.
Ofc I´m saying that because Kuririn is my favorite DB-character ...

God mode is basically a form that leaks out zero Ki which changes the quality of it. Think it went along the lines of that anyway. And you can attain it simply by training in the right way. I don't think Krillin will do that because he seems happy. I just want Gohan to achieve that form. Maybe even throw in something crazy like since he is a half breed he gains the quality of two god ki or something like that. Make him relevant again. Hell...I'll even settle for Piccolo getting a God form.
While we're at it 18 can achieve Goddess mode too.
I would love it so much of 18 and Krillin became important...
18 could always be relevant when we are talking about future trunks.... from what i remember she isnt an android anymore so she is not strong, but plotwise there could always be another dormant droid or something relevant to her...
right now i am waiting for future trunks to achieve god mode... he was already competent against zamasu and black, he just need a little edge... he was before a plot device for the sayians to get stronger. because of him vegeta achieved SS and the slow/fat SS too...
Pretty sure she`s still an android.

Yeah, she´s still an android, just with the ability to get impregnated.

The fact that they brought Bulma along pretty much guarantees that the time machine is going to get destroyed and she'll have to build a new one. There's no other reason to write her going along.
Anyway, Black's identity was disappointing. So they're both just Zamasu, only they made different wishes?
