“but Kid Goku didn’t grow tho”

Did Kid Goku grow in original Dragon Ball? Yes he did. Stop using Kid Goku to justify Goten and Trunks not growing at all over the course of 6 years.

"Saiyans grow slowly then they have a huge growthspurt" -gohan a character who we literally saw grow at a normal rate

They did krillin dirty. He's like 3'7 in DBS

[JustGR]

This, and not to mention Krilin that seems to look more and more short and child-like in each appearance.

Nice that someone else noticed that Goten looks smaller in Super.

[astrovarius]

I love seeing Gohan's physical development from the start of Z to the end of the Cell saga.
It's so gradual you almost don't notice, but by the end the difference is undeniable.

I wish we could have had a similar experience with Goten and Trunks.

[JwstDent]

The only saiyan that seemed to truly grow progressively was Gohan

[myau]

Let's not forget Marron, who was drawn as a 2 year old toddler for years despite nearly being 10 in Super.

[pancake]

Height probably the weirdest thing in db

[Goku-obht]

At least goten and trunks grown in super hero movie

[macyskaggs]

the way they tried explaining that saiyans stay the same size and then have a growth spurt in the super hero 😅

[tiablue]

heights aren't only inconsistent in the anime, they're rly inconsistent in the manga, esp in the buu arc (mainly w/ mr. satan) bc toriyama likes to alter characters' sizes often in comedic scenes. but for mr. satan it's like he literally just shrinks between the cell and buu arcs to make him look goofier

[Motoskichimo]

My headcannon is Bulma made a wish to look younger. Goten and Trunks made fun of her and Bulma made the second wish to make them appear younger for longer as revenge.

[Clazex]

Well maybe its because they're hybirds but Gohan grew just like Goku did

[shmeebs]

The big issue is how consistently Gohan grew throughout Z. From toddler against Raditz to pre-teen against Cell, you almost don't even notice him growing because it's so gradual and natural.

[MisterPuck]

Let’s not forget that one of the requirements of the Fusion Dance, as I recall, isn’t just power level, but similar physical size, including height. Now, even though Vegita was originally shown to be significantly shorter than Goku, they are _somehow_ still able to fuse as Vegita magically gains an extra foot in height or so to more closely match Goku.

[CrocoDylianVT]

Gotta love how they just suddenly exploded in size in the Super Hero movie like, went from being 8 to almost 18 in a few months lol

[purp]

"if goten and trunks grew as much as goku did, maybe the fans wouldn't have complained so much" so basically if you solve a problem there wont be a problem? Mind-blowing

[DATRUTWAN]

You see me personally I’d rather them get character development because even if they get teller that doesn’t mean they will be anymore important to the plot

[oscar_editz]

DBS Broly makes them look younger almost like they are 7 and 8 again even though they are 12 and 13 in that movie

[nakreim]

The Ash Ketchum syndrome.
Forever the character they were meant to be, never to be the character they could have become.
