but would they be a more powerful Goku or Vegeta?

You might get a super strong Goku with a Vegeta personality.

His parenting skills would also get a nice boost. The fact that Trunks can extract favors from Vegeta (I think at one point he demands to be taken to an amusement park?) suggests that Vegeta might sometimes do non-fighty stuff with him.

Trunks asks to be taken to an amusement park and Vegeta goes 'fine... if you train with me today.'

EDIT: Also there's a scene in GT where Vegeta takes Bulla out shopping.

Much like Batman doing anything mundane is inherently hilarious, the same is true of Vegeta.

I bet he'd have a bumper sticker on his car that said "PRINCE OF ALL SEDANS"

Did you guys already discuss the rather loving Super Best Friends video on Xenoverse? Thread moves kinda fast.

Because the twist really caught me off guard and I loved it. Especially the "next time on..."

Man GT was weirdly animated they both look kinda like teenagers. Not 40-50ish

Saiyans don't properly age and that's Bulla, not Bulma, hth.

Like GT's terrible but this is not one of the times where it's inaccurate.

I think Bulla's like 12 years old or something.

Edit: Apparently two different official sources have given her age as 10 or 12 by the end of GT.

Which is weird, because there's a scene where some old guys hit on her. No wonder Vegeta destroyed their car.

It's actually only one source, Daizenshuu #7 which lists her as born a year after Pan (780) in the timeline section but also lists her as born a year before Pan (778) in the profile section. Other sources have pretty much all gone with Bra being younger and BoG confirmed it.

Dear writers of Dragonball GT

gently caress you for shaving Vegeta's moustache.

Signed
Anyone with taste.

e: If it had to go, couldn't it have waited until he'd gone Super Saiyan or the last episode? Can someone go and edit into every Dragon Ball Z episode?

e: One, Vegeta's moustache needs to be fluffier, bigger, and have access to a gravity machine. Two, whenever Vegeta's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Vegeta's moustache"? Three--

It really weirds me out. I mean GT is pretty weird and jarring in general, but with Vegeta it feels like they just threw away the style guide on him.

What's weirder is Pan is listed as being 9 in the Japanese version and 13 in the English version by some sources, which makes Determining Bulla's age even more fun. She's either 8, 10, 12, or 14 depending on which version you're watching.

Between time travel, differing versions of canon (GT vs Battle of the Gods, English vs Japan etc) , and magic wish dragons, I imagine that Bulla / Bra etc is in fact, every one of those ages at the same time.

Among GT's problems is that it moves forward in time, thus most of the main cast is old, which really sucks. If it was the mid 90s and Toei came to me and said "we need another Dragonball cartoon and it has to have a kid Goku and adult Trunks as main characters, to hell with the manga!!" I would propose something like Star Trek 2009 - maybe Future Trunks' time travel shennanigans cause him to get trapped in the past and he ends up grabbing Goku out of the wilderness or something, basically filling Bulma's role in the first season. If you must have beam spam, have some technobabble about butterfly effects.

In other words, more Xenoverse and less everyone is goddamn old.

Vegeta growing a moustache and cutting his hair always seemed odd to me, since I thought full-blood Saiyans grow hair way differently than normal people, and that keeping it natural was a pride thing. Though, Vegeta always seemed to assimilate better to human society than Goku.

Endorph

Well, I mean, who does everyone being old in GT really effect? Vegeta barely aged except for some wrinkles around his eyes, Goku got turned into a kid and even when he became an adult he looked basically the same, Gohan's only as old as Goku was during the Android Saga. It's not like Tien or Krillin is relevant at all in GT, so them being old doesn't really change anything.

Nappa lost his hair and grew a mustache. Maybe its an old Saiyan thing.

It's depressing. Goku's nagging wife is an old lady. Vegeta and Bulma are all old (especially when Vegeta's rocking the stache and haircut) Gohan is bespectacled and Goten is Yamcha. Most shows don't have such a huge number of old and middle aged hanger-ons. Especially considering the baby arc heavily involved fighting all the main characters and the evil 17 arc involves old man krillin getting killed and 18, who was made to dress up old, having some focus.

I'd be more accepting of the aging of the characters if the kids were more players in the plot and the olds were more background flavor but Goten, Bra, and Marron don't do jack.

Endorph

Eh, of all the things GT did wrong I think everyone getting a bit old was one of the few things it did right. It added to the 'one last ride' they were clearly trying to go for.

But yeah, things would have been a lot better if the kids were actually relevant. Heck, even Uub doesn't get to to do jack.

GT has the same problem the later entries in the Star Wars EU had. Everyone was getting older, comments were made about handing things off to a younger generation, but the stories kept revolving around the same cast with only lip service being paid to the kids and grandkids.

Bulma gets pregnant again, but this time Vegeta actually sticks around for the experience.
