Why does gohans tail grow back

Re: How did Tullece force Gohan's tail to grow back? Post by Savage68 » Wed Dec 15, pm Gohan's tail was simply tucked away. Tullece forced it out into the spotlight. Post by VegettoEX » Wed Dec 15, pm It's one of the best examples of plot convenience in the entire franchise. Near as I can tell, Tullece doesn't actually check to see if Gohan has a tail -- he just assumes he does. Even when he's looking down at him holding him with a foot , he's staring more at his head than his rear end.

Due to all this, Tullece just goes ahead with his plan of creating a Power Ball and forcing Gohan to transform, naturally assuming that the kid's got one down there. At that very moment, Gohan's tail just ever so conveniently happens to grow back. I mean, shit Savage68 wrote: Gohan's tail was simply tucked away. Battle Geek Plus amv.

It's no big deal, it's just the way we are. In Universe 7 , Saiyans are born with a monkey -like tail that allows them to transform into a Great Ape when they look at a full moon. Saiyans who lived on Planet Vegeta , like Bardock , Paragus , King Vegeta , Vegeta , Nappa , and Raditz , wear their tail wrapped around their waist in a belt like fashion.

This custom is likely to keep their tails from being reached and gripped easily by opponents. When a Saiyan's tail is squeezed, it causes them to lose their strength entirely, as well as being an extremely painful and unpleasant sensation. Whenever his tail is grabbed in early chapters of Dragon Ball , Goku flinches and becomes unable to move beyond twitching, as well as extremely dazed and lethargic.

This effect wears off almost immediately once his tail is released. This weakness can be removed by rigorous training of the tail to strengthen it and to tolerate it being squeezed. Goku, Nappa and Vegeta all manage to train their tails this way. Many of the Saiyans in the anime get their tails removed, but on some occasions, they grow back.

The Daizenshuu description is that the tail will often suddenly grow back if the Saiyan is in danger; such as when it did during Goku's match against Giran or for Gohan during the battle against Vegeta. Goku uses the Super Saiyan transformation while at the same time possessing a tail in Dragon Ball GT , but sometimes his tail does not change color to gold. However, when Goku turns Super Saiyan 3 , his tail fur always turns gold.

When Goku and Vegeta turn Super Saiyan 4 , their tail furs both take the color of their respective Super Saiyan 4 fur. Saiyans native to Universe 6 do not possess tails due to the evolutionary process they underwent in their universe, as explained by Cabba in the manga, though in the anime, Cabba has never heard nor has knowledge of Saiyan tails.

Bardock usually wears his tail around his waist in a belt-like fashion. In Dragon Ball Heroes , Bardock is the only known Super Saiyan 4 to wrap his tail around his waist presumably due to it being a force of habit as it is customary for members of the Saiyan Army to do so while in battle. In Dragon Ball Minus , Gine wears her tail loose though this is likely due to her having retired from the Saiyan Army and working in a non-combat role as a meat processing employee on Planet Vegeta.

Team Bardock had tails, and wore them in the same way Bardock did. Bardock's Crew are all killed by Dodoria and his elite soldiers. Goku burned his tail as he was flying over the burning Fire Mountain.

Goku loses his tail three times: the first time was when Puar transformed into a pair of scissors and cut it off after Goku transformed into a Great Ape in Pilaf's Castle. Later, Grandpa Gohan grabbed Goku's still weak and untrained tail during a fight at Fortuneteller Baba's Palace and accidentally pulled it off.

Then, his tail grows back in between the time after the defeat of Terror and Plague , [3] and before the defeat of Sky Dragon by Goku. Yet, the tail is not seen at the end of the GT series when Goku is an adult again. In the anime only, the tail grew back, but was once again removed by Piccolo. It grew back for the second third, counting the anime-only instance of his regrowing his tail and final time during the battle with Vegeta , and to stop his transformation, Vegeta cut off his tail with an energy disk , and it has not grown back since, though it has been featured in the movies Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might and Cooler's Revenge.

In Cooler's Revenge , Gohan tail is shown to have apparently grown back at some point after Goku's return to Earth. Interestingly, Gohan's tail allows Cooler's Armored Squadron to identify as one of the surviving Saiyans, causing them to briefly mistake him for the Saiyan they were searching for, unaware that Gohan was the son of the Saiyan who had defeated Frieza.

Gohan's tail proved to be a liability during his initial encounter with Cooler's henchman, as Dore managed to grab him by the tail, weakening the young half-saiyan and preventing him from fighting back.

Fortunately Dore chose to simply toy with Gohan rather than kill him, playfully swing the boy around by his tail. Gohan was later saved by the arrival of his father Goku. As the movie is one of the few films without any real problems save for a few minor inconsistences fitting within the series timeline as it seemingly occurs during the three-year wait for the Androids it is possible Gohan's tail was likely removed following the events due to the liability it posed both as a weakness and the threat posed by Gohan's Great Ape form.

In the second episode of Dragon Ball Z , Raditz whips Krillin in the face with his tail which sends him flying into Kame House making it one of the few times a Saiyan is shown using their tail to attack.

In the next episode Goku squeezes Raditz's tail, causing him terrible agony and getting him down for Piccolo to use another Special Beam Cannon, but Raditz tricks Goku into letting him go. When placing Raditz in a Full-Nelson , Goku explains he did not grab his brother's tail once again because he feared that Raditz would most likely sever his own tail to escape if he tried to Raditz's own response implies that he would have severed his tail had Goku tried to grab it a second time.

All of these events occur in the manga as well. In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 , Nappa states that Raditz would always skip tail training, thus explaining why he was susceptible to being weakened when his tail was pulled unlike his partners Nappa and Vegeta who had trained to overcome it. In Dragon Ball Legends during the Tournament of Time , Raditz from shortly before his death having experienced having his tail grabbed by his brother realizes he must get rid of his weakness and as a result finally trains his tail much like how his brother had in his youth after being told to do so by his deceased Grandpa Gohan.

This proves advantageous for Raditz when he encounters Piccolo from when he was training Gohan during the Tournament, as like his comrade Nappa, Raditz turns the tables on Piccolo when he tries grabbing his tail to weaken him. During the battle with the Saiyans, Piccolo devises a plan that involves him grabbing Nappa 's tail. However, this plan fails, as Nappa is immune to this weakness and beats Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin. In Xenoverse 2 , Nappa mentions training his tail.

Vegeta 's tail is cut off by Yajirobe and does not grow back. Though in Dragon Ball GT , it is regrown twice through artificial means. The first time is when Vegeta is under the control of Baby , and it is cut off by Goku. The second time is when it is regrown again so that he can become a Super Saiyan 4, but he does not retain this tail after he returns to his base form. Interestingly, while he follows the custom of wrapping his tail around his waist, after losing his historic Energy Clash with Goku's Kaioken Kamehameha he lets his tail hang loose despite still being on the battlefield, though this is likely due to him deciding to resort to his Great Ape form.

But Then it stopped when he became an adult. Vegeta's never grew back either. The best explanation I can come up with is that tails stop growing back for adults. Mukuchina Kurasu.

Must have been the force of the rebound when he rebounded the spirit bomb back at Vegeta. I guess the force was what caused it to grow again. Unknown MarineG. NamekWoman Crew.

Goku spends the next three years training his tail and removing its weakness, a fact which ends up netting him the win during his match against Krillin during the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai. Goku spends the next three years training off-screen with Mr. Popo and Kami for the explicit purpose of defeating Piccolo at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

Come the tournament, Goku is now a grown man with no tail in sight. Goku explains to his friends that God removed his tail because he wanted to restore the moon— a fact which makes no sense to Goku, but means the world to the original Dragon Team. Waking up on the night of a full moon, Gohan transforms and immediately starts to overwhelm Piccolo, leveling the region around them.
