Despite Gohan being known as a truthful and intellectual person among fans, there was one instance where he appeared to deceive them. It is uncertain whether this was an unintentional error or a deliberate omission, but based on the available evidence, it is undeniable that Goku’s eldest son misled fans about the physical growth of Saiyans.
Despite being crucial characters in the Dragon Ball franchise, Goten and Trunks were largely neglected in terms of character development throughout the majority of the series. However, a sudden and unexpected growth spurt sparked curiosity among fans, as the two young warriors rapidly became taller in a short period of time.
Please be aware that this article may reveal important plot details from the Dragon Ball Super manga.
Gohan’s Controversial Statement About Saiyan Growth in Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO
Despite a four-year time skip in Dragon Ball Z, Goten and Trunks, who were seven and eight years old respectively, were still 11 and 12 years old at the beginning of Dragon Ball Super. Despite this, they both maintained the same physique they had in Dragon Ball Z.
Additionally, the two characters maintained their physique throughout the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga. This arc occurred two years after the start of Dragon Ball Super, making Goten and Trunks 13 and 14 years old respectively. Despite this, the character design for both of them remained unchanged in the manga series until the High School Saga.
The storyline that primarily revolved around Goten and Trunks displayed a significant growth spurt in their height and a noticeable alteration in their character designs, which had never been seen before. This sudden transformation left fans perplexed and questioning the reasoning behind it. However, Gohan provided his perspective on the matter. Despite the available evidence, it appears that he may have been dishonest about the truth.
In Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO, Piccolo was amazed by the sudden growth spurt of Goten and Trunks. This was a significant change from the last time he saw them, when the two Saiyans were still quite short. Gohan then explained to Piccolo that Saiyans take a long time to grow, but once they do, they experience a sudden and rapid growth spurt.
Despite the possibility that some fans may have been fooled by Goku’s elder son’s explanation, the truth remains that Gohan’s growth was clearly depicted in Dragon Ball Z. Viewers were able to witness his physical development throughout the series, particularly in the Cell Saga where he grew at a natural pace even after training in the time chamber.
Throughout the arc, Gohan, at the age of 11, had already surpassed the heights of Goten and Trunks, who were 13 and 14 years old, respectively. This suggests that the series contained some discrepancies.
Thus, it can be concluded that Akira Toriyama and Toyotaro, the creators of Dragon Ball Super, may have disregarded certain aspects and attempted to rectify their error regarding the character development of Goten and Trunks through a fabricated explanation.
Despite the fact that even Son Goku experienced a growth spurt similar to Goten and Trunks in Dragon Ball, the most frustrating aspect of the situation is that only Gohan’s growth is used as evidence to refute the theory of sudden growth spurts.
