    that wouldn't make sense for a first generation cross. the real explanation is the silly man forgot his own character rules. We can always chalk it up to the tail having been pre-emptively removed off screen.

    In the first generation cross from otherwise purebred strains, the offspring will always be 50% one lineage and 50% the other. AFTER that, all bets are off. on a population scale and across multiple children, you'd get approximately 50% genomic remix, so its roughly accurate to call Pan 25%...

    I don't think they ever quite explained it. Gohan also appears to be the only human/saiyajin hybrid that had special potential that was ever explicitly discussed (his rage boosts). I mean, sure Trunks and Goten were strong and got to super saiyajin level pretty young, but that could easily be...

    I also had a concept character that was a hybrid, but I was planning to retcon a few things into the backstory of where saiyans came from to force it to make sense. Idea was that something akin to a mad scientist abducts some ancient humans and mucks about with their genetics to produce the...

    Rule of thumb, if Toriyama writes anything that uses numbers, he probably pulled them out of his ass and will promptly forget they ever existed. XD

    its good art regardless, and since the universe in question already established a precedent I can't really complain about building on it (the complaint merely stands with the establishment of the precedent). Doesn't meant you can't make interesting content with it. At least in DragonBall it was...

    also found this article in my searches: https://www.universetoday.com/13757/how-big-do-planets-get/ "The largest “terrestrial” planet is generally considered the one before you get too thick of an atmosphere, which happens at about 5-10 Earth masses (something like 2 Earth radii). Those planets...

    for the sake of argument, the densities of white dwarf material is 1,000,000 g/cm3 and neutron star material 100,000,000,000,000 g/cm3. So... technically there ARE forms of matter that could get the amount of mass required into a small space, but then if you tried to layer normal planetary...

    You're not wrong, I even said as much lol. Its still fun to think about how badly physics is being bent over and taken from the rear. with regard to instant transmission I always figured it involved multidimensional travel, something akin to using ki to fold space, so the distance traveled was...

    Thinking through the high gravity of certain planets in Dragonball's Universe.

    I recall vaguely that planet vegeta was supposed to have 20X earth gravity and king kai's planet 10X. I know this is a fictional universe, and that Toriyama doesn't have much of a mind for scientific coherence or even remembering his own canon, so taking this too seriously is fraught with...
