The manga says he's 9 but shouldn't he be older? From what I read on db wiki, he was born age 757 in May and he left the ROSAT with goku on May 18 age 767. It's been ten years and then he spent a year in the ROSAT. Shouldn't he be atleast 10?

My Dear Melancholy,

The filler said that it wasn't actually his birthday but since he was in the Time Chamber for a year, they're celebrating his "year". He's 9 but physically ten. If you want to be more accurate. He's 9.75 but physically 10.75.

Kanzenshuu's History of Ever explains this controversy:
Quote:
 
AGE 757
May, Age 757
--Son Goku and Chi-Chi’s first son is born. Goku names him “Son Gohan”, after his adoptive grandfather. As a Saiyan/Earthling hybrid, Gohan has a tail and is gifted with vast dormant power.
[Ref: Date from Daizenshuu 7. In Chapter 196 Gohan says he’s 4, so this is that long before 761. Placing his birthday in May could refer to DBZ Episode 171, where Gohan celebrates his birthday before the Cell Games, which are in May. In that episode Gohan actually says it’s not his birthday: Chi-Chi just wants to celebrate it because Gohan got a year older in the Room of Spirit and Time, turning 11 (though this still wouldn’t rule out his birthday being during some other time in May). It may also be based on the fact that at the start of the Boo arc, the narrator says that Gohan is 16, though since the Boo arc is in 774 (13 years after Raditz’s arrival), Gohan should turn 17 that year. So him still being 16 would mean that his birthday is later in the year then when he first goes to Orange Star High School, which is in April. In Chapter 204 Vegeta notes how mixing Saiyan and Earthling blood creates a powerful hybrid, and Daizenshuu 4 somewhat expands on this by saying the two races’ genes have an “extraordinarily good compatibility”.]

*Kid Gohan*. Teen Gohan refers to Gohan in the Buu Arc.

Anyways, he's 9 though physically 10 due to being in the RoSaT.

Herms to the rescue.

Gohan's age is always a bit fiddly. The narrator does describe him as 16 at the start of the Boo arc, but thanks to his training in the Room of Spirit and Time he should physically be at least 17. In that filler episode with Gohan's birthday, Chi-Chi even says that Gohan turned 11 training in the Room (which is the only reason they celebrate his birthday that episode; Gohan specifically says it's not currently his real birthday). The Boo arc is repeatedly said to be 7 years after the Cell Games, so logically Gohan should be physically 18. The tricky part is how much time passes between Freeza's defeat on Namek and when he attacks Earth, since it's different between the manga and anime. The manga says a year passes after they finish up all those wishes bringing people back to life and sending the Namekians off, meaning 260 days plus a year, so almost two years (this is also reflected in the Daizenshuu 7 timeline and all later official timelines). The anime though just says a year passes...which is confusing, because the only way for Gohan to be 11 in that birthday episode is for almost two years to pass between the Namek arc and Trunks showing up, so the anime isn't internally consistent in that regard. To make things more confusing, the Viz translation words the narration in a way that leaves it ambiguous if "a year has passed" refers to the end of the wishing sessions, or the end of the battle on Namek. Also, the Funi dub makes Gohan older when he first appears...and apparently in the actual Jump issue where he debuts, he has a different age which then got changed for the collected edition, the anime, and everything else that followed. So...yeah...

Sort of. The way I assume this works is that Gohan is 9, almost 10 because it's never specified when in May Gohan's birthday is(I just assume it's late May), when the Artificial Humans attack. After about a year in the ROSAT, he turned 10, almost 11. 7 years go by and he's 17 as it's not quite his 18th birthday yet, and the Narrator claims he's 16 because he should have been 9 during the Cell Games. So to put it more simply:
Artificial Humans Attack
Age: 9, almost 10
After Exiting the ROSAT
Age: 10 physically, almost 11, but 9 ignoring the year in the ROSAT.
The Majin Boo Arc
Age 17 physically, almost 18, but 16 ignoring the year in the ROSAT.
