"Teen" Gohan's True Age

Hi, this is my second post, so don't get all extreme at me. Anyway, I've always thought about this, and it just doesn't make sense.

In the beginning of Dragonball Z, Bulma asks Gohan how old he is, and he says, "5 and a 1/2."

In 1 year, the Saiyans arrive, making Gohan 6 and a 1/2 years old.

After are the events of Namek, and when Goku returns, Trunks states that the Androids will come in three years. That would make Gohan 9 and a 1/2 years old.

After training in the hyperbolic time chamber, one year goes by, which would make Gohan 10 and a 1/2 when he gets out.

During the ten day break before the Cell games, Gohan has a birthday celebration, and Chi-Chi says "My son is a teenager." But wouldn't that make Gohan 11 and a 1/2? That's not really a teenager... I don't understand why they put this in all of the games when it's not true.

i don't think that secene was in the manga, so it isn't cannon so it's not meant to be taken literally, but you raise a good point, i can't think of anything else that explains it, i'm suprised i haven't noticed it before

I see you've been paying close attention to those episodes ;), IMO, they just didn't pay much attention to that, they wanted teen Gohan so they called him teen. It was close enough.

I actually looked back at those episodes to verify my statements... It's not like I memorized them, but thanks. Haha.

Beginning of Z: 4
Saiya-jins arrival: 5
Cyborg Freeza on Earth: 6
Artificial Humans arrival: 9
Room of Spirit and Time: 10
Boo's arrival: 17
End of Z: 27

The "five and a half" line was a mistake on the anime's part. Gohan states he's four years old.

I've also heard that the Daizenshuu's specific dates mentions Gohan has a birthday before Cyborg Freeza arrives on Earth. That would put him at seven. Just add a year to the rest of the ages to get the answer.

Yeah, the original dub states that he's 5 and a 1/2, but I purchased the remastered version and he says he's 4. I guess that clears it up. Oh, and the hyperbolic time chamber is 2 years at most, but they decided to come out early, remember?

Gohan spends at least a good year on Namek. And you're all forgetting the years they have to wait for the dragon when they get back from the Frieza battle to revive all the dead warriors.

Gohan is no younger than 13 in the Cell Games.

…*Tyro’s head tilts sideways and a look of confusion comes across his eyes*? What gave you that impression? The same day that Bulma, Gohan and Kuririn arrive on Namek is the day Goku is healed and takes off for Namek on the newly rebuilt Saiya-jin space pod.

So…altogether that’s like…seven days tops Gohan spent on Namek.

Yeah, Namekian years. That’s 130 Earth days, friend. That’s a grand total of 260 days waiting to revive everyone, then one year before Freeza arrives on Earth.

Yeah exactly. Still roughly two years.

And after thorough calculations I take the age of 13 back. Gohan has to be 11. The games are screwed.

Teen Gohan is suposse to be 12 Years old, making him a Pre-Teen.
Does coz 1 year or so went by does'nt mean he gains one year, for exsample i started when i was 16, and im now 18 (Nearly 19) and when i reach 19 i've been i'd be working for 2 years, even though i started when i was 16. It all depends when i started and when my Bday wos.

As for Gohan it depends when he was born and then the accual times of the events.

I don't understand your post...

The jump from Cell to Buu is 3 years right? They say he's 16. It doesn't make sense.
