it depends on if he aged during the 8 or so years he cumulatively spent dead and how we count the years spent in the hyperbolic time chamber. You could make an argument for anything from early 30's to late 40's probably.

Old Kai gave Goku his remaining life energy in the Buu Saga. Kais have a lifespan measured in tens of thousands of years at the very least. Goku is going to live for literal centuries.

Actually, Goku will die soon alongside the rest of his universe once they lose to the Pride Troopers, because justice always wins.

I really dislike the Isekai genre with only one or two exceptions and epic Yamcha is really super good enough to one of them. Hope his fellow reincarnated dude is motherfucking Chiaotzu

Mraagvpeine posted:What is Isekai? it means "other world" and is a genre where people get sent to alternate fantasy worlds where they're chosen ones it's wildly popular in light novels to an absurd degree but if you want to be technical even, like, the narnia books and el-hazard were isekai stuff

There's a poo poo ton of isekai light novels and cheap manga where the whole gimmick is "I [was-summoned-to/died-and-was-reborn-in] a fantasy world where everything is just like [poorly conceived notion of what video games are like] and because I'm a hopeless videogame-lovin' nerd just like the author and the intended audience, I know better than everyone else who has lived in this world their entire life." It's a rather specific setting, but it makes up a big chunk of the subgenre these days, because people fuckin' love their video games, even if it's just having characters open up a magical status window every chapter and go "wow I sure do have skill points!" Admittedly there are some fairly inspired takes in the bunch, like "I'm a Spider, So What?" where the protagonist gets reincarnated as a lovely level 1 spider in a dungeon and must claw her way up through the hierarchy of monsters. It's fuckin' adorable. But there's also ones with titles that are practically their own novel, like "When a Military Otaku is Reincarnated to a World of Magic, He Established a Harem Army with Modern Weapons!?" which is about a huge loving dipshit who apparently has a photographic memory when it comes to gun designs, and decides to manufacture a bunch of magic firearms to give to catgirls with huge tits or whatever.

Does Dragon Ball count as one of these "isekai" stories since Goku is an alien from another planet? Or is it just reserved for stuff like ReZero and Grimgar and so on?

The genre also has an american name, LitRPG. It's in its infancy here so the stories are largely poo poo.

No, its explicitly when someone from the real world gets taken to some kind of other world through some kind of reincarnation/magic/VR etc. Now I kinda want to write a short story where a wizard from a fantasy world ends up on Earth, which works just like his magic video games and he conquers America with his working knowledge of nuclear weapons.

Fargin Icehole posted:How old is Goku at this point? Or does it not matter because people kept getting brought back to life in the Z Saga? By pure years, he's 44 years old. However, he didn't age for the 7 years he was dead after Cell, but has spent 3 years in the hyperbolic time chamber, so he's really 40. Vegeta made a comment that saiyans don't start aging until their 70s. Vegeta is 48, but spent 5 years in the hyperbolic time chamber so he's really 53.

One of the few good things about Continuum was coming up with terminology for this. "Objective age" is your age according to the calendar. "Subjective age" is how many years that you personally have lived through. So, Goku's objective age would be 44, but his subjective age would be Okay, maybe it's not perfect.

All the other people with special/magic powers who already exist in the world complain that he's overpowered as poo poo and it's great up until, like, 150 chapters in when the author seems to start running out of interesting ideas.

Wasn't it that it only could hold enough food for 2 people for a year, and that's why they only let 2 in at a time?

Yeah, The Gamer was really good at first. He realized that his newly awakened "Gamer Body" made him immune to the normal effects of fatigue, and instead left him beholden to a numeric fatigue meter. This was around the same time he realized that any time he tried to just "do a thing", his power would manifest by defining a Skill for it, with known numeric effects on his or others' stats. So he almost immediately found a skill that could recover fatigue in less time than it takes to sleep, and started using that to game his own system to grind more levels and skill points. The initial chapters were very much a comedy about poorly-designed MMO mechanics.

I think Dende repaired the time chamber and made improvements to allow for longer time in it. I dunno, but Vegeta had 2 days in there in the Cell saga, then him and Goku were in there before the U6/U7 tournament. So yeah, the rules are bullshit, or Toriyama just forgot. Edit: of course someone compiled all the ages here: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_character_birth_dates_and_ages seiferguy fucked around with this message at 16:40 on May 11, 2017 |

That's an interesting twist at the end of the yamcha chapter and I'm wondering where the story will go now that there's no way for a human to keep up with the sayian cast.
