You guys weren't kidding.

Time travel's a hell of a thing.

How old are you, exactly? I need to know this before I can allow you to say "my age."

[4starsaviour]

[Nobody said there'd be math!] Uh... about forty four, though there's a few things like goin' in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber that makes it a bit tougher to be sure.

[superscholar]

Being dead for seven years also doesn't help.

... I never really thought to ask, but actually, do you age when you're dead? I mean, you don't have a living body, so...

[4starsaviour]

I dunno! I didn't notice it, but Vegeta says that Saiyans age really slow. [Plus, he looked like this until he was about 17 or 18, so his aging is pretty weird to begin with.] Though Grandpa Gohan didn't look any different, so maybe you don't!

[superscholar]

... So then you're actually seven years younger, I think?

[4starsaviour]

I guess so? Then again, I remember those years, so it ain't like I didn't go through 'em... An' then there was 'bout a year that I was training for the Saiyans! [This is way more complicated than he thought!]

[superscholar]

... So then, you're eight years younger, but you also two years older because you've been in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber twice.

I guess that means you're technically six years younger...?

[4starsaviour]

Man, this is confusing! An' I thought it was tough to figure out how old I was when I was a kid! [After all, he spent a few years thinking he was two years older than he actually was, somehow.]

[superscholar]

We're probably thinking about it too hard, honestly.

I'm just glad you're alive again.

[4starsaviour]

Yeah, me too. Too bad things didn't stay peaceful like I hoped, but I would've missed out on a lot if I stayed.

[deafleppard]

Wait a damn minute.

If he died then came back to life, doesn't that make him a zombie.

[superscholar]

Zombies are reanimated corpses without their original souls.

[ And he says this like it's common knowledge or something. ]

The way we bring people back to life back home involves Shenron bringing their body back in its original state, then bringing their soul back from the Other World and into their body.

It's kind of involved, strangely enough. But basically, he's not a zombie.

[deafleppard]

The heck's a Shenron?

[superscholar]

A... magic dragon...

[deafleppard]

You guys have a magic dragon that literally brings people back to life.

You know what. I should stop asking. Because I keep expecting the weirdness to end but nope you guys keep proving me wrong every time.

[superscholar]

S-Sorry...
