Goku got married at 20. They had Gohan like exactly a year later, so Gohan is 4 at the start of Z, while Goku is 25. Goku fights Vegeta at 26 after spending a year dead, fights Frieza and goes Super Saiyan at about 26-27, is on Yardrat for a year, so 27-28, trains another 3 years for the androids, so 30-31, spends a year in the Room of Spirit and Time, dies a second time at 31 or so, is dead for 7 years, is revived at 38 chronologically, about 31 physically. 31 because 8 years of death, but one year in the Room of Spirit & Time, so 38-7=31.

Now? He's chronologically in his early 40s, I assume.

You're off by about two years. Goku is 18 at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, 23 at the start of Z, and so on.

I can forgive him because Goku before the 23rd Tournament was about 2 feet tall, maybe 3 feet max and so I always assumed he was 10 or maybe 12 for most of the series. But nope, he's a full blown teenager even before the training with Kami.

It's actually pretty easy: there are two timeskips in Dragonball, each of which is three years. Goku's first established age is 12, so he was 15 when he fought Tien and throughout the Piccolo arc and 18 when he marries Chichi.

Five years to DBZ makes him 23.

I misread this and thought you typed Gotenks like being fused would affect the age at all.

I swear there was a series where fusing added the fuse-ies ages and made them adults.

Well it might not add their ages, but GT Gotenks looks so drat old for being a young adult that it might as well. He looks fine as a Super Saiyan but in his base state for some reason he looks like he has twice his age.

I think it's because the lavender hair going up the sides makes him look like he's going grey early.

Nope. As of Dragon Ball Minus, he was born in age 734, instead of 737, so he'd be about 15 when he meets Bulma (making her bathing him super weird since she was just a year older.)

Goku and Chichi get married on May 8, age 756. So 21-22 is actually more accurate for Goku's age at that point.

Gohan is born in 757, Raditz arrives in 761, making Gohan 4 and making Goku 26-27 at the start of Z.

My ages were off before, but this should clear up this very important matter.

Goku flat out says he's only 12 as of the first World Tournament so...nope.

Toriyama just hosed up with Dragon Ball Minus.

Yes, because Goku is so reliable. The kid looks tiny until well after kids hit puberty, which makes sense since "80 is still young for saiyans." Grandpa Gohan probably assumed he was an infant when he found him and went from there. 12 years after Gohan found him.

Also, this is easily one of my top 10 nerdiest arguments.

...'cause Toriyama wrote it himself? It wasn't even something like the Super manga or anime where he gave Toei/Toyatoro the outline and they filled in the rest. Toriyama straight up drew and wrote Dragon Ball Minus.

I know it's not popular, but it's straight from the mouth of God.

But Goku's age is not something that is so important to him in any conceivable way that I will treat it with anything other than a "Mhm, sure"

It's all incredibly irrelevant. Ages only matter when they want to make a "lol, saiyans age slower, sucks to be you, Bulma/Chichi. Your tits be saggy, yo!" jokes.
