Goku/Saiyan+Chi Chi/Human = 1/2 Saiyan/1/2 Human Goten

Vegeta/Saiyan+Bulma/Human = 1/2 Saiyan/1/2 Human Bulla(Bra)

Pretty easy to understand.

That "Genetic Super Saiyan" theory is crap because if that were true, then Bra would be a Super Saiyan regardless of her gender because she has the same genetic composition as Trunks, and she clearly isn't a Super Saiyan.

Goten and Gohan were actually 1/2 Saiyan, 1/2 Human, just for clarification.

Pan was 1/4 Saiyan.

Pan was 1/4 Saiyan.

I definitely said "1/2 Saiyan/1/2 Human Goten"

Vegeta's tail was removed before Namek. After the attack from Yajirobe, his tail does not reoccur. Even after the healing pod on Frieza headquartes, there is no tail to be seen. It is to be implied that either losing your tail in Oohzaru form permanently loses your tail or Saiyajin have a certain controlled regeneration ability which in unlikely.

I think the healing pod is exactly what stopped him from growing another tail. I assume it doesn't allow you to grow back other limbs, and I see no reason why the pod would stimulate the biological functions required to cause the spontaneous regrowth of a tail. I think it simply speeds up the healing process, which is entirely seperate from the regrowth process. I believe it would have healed over the stump of Vegeta's tail, causing it to be impossible to regrow, but more likely is that his tail had already healed by that point, but hadn't had time to regrow, and then Bulma had it removed after Namek.

Also the tail does not go away when one becomes a SSJ. Remember Vegeta in Ginyu saga saying that the first and only SSJ could only acheive it using his transformed state and in the flashback, it had a tail....

This is the non-canon forum. Filler answers are perfectly acceptable here.

Probably, so the Gohan incident doesn't happen again.
It doesn't matter if Chi Chi and Bulma had them removed or not, there was no way for them to transform since Piccolo destroyed the moon in the Saiyan Saga. It was never brought back. Also there's no logic in teaching them the faux moonlight technique.

It's been brought back once, it can be brought back again. Better safe then sorry.

Pan is 1/3 Saiyan
huh? Where the hell did you get that from?

Oh shi... I meant 1/4 sorry

Vegeta - as not enough time passes during the namak saga, Vegeta's tail does not grow back. It can be assumed that Bulma had him have it removed during the time skip.

Vegeta was in space for a year before Goku arrived back on Earth. It would've grown back in that time.

only by the anime standards (yes I realize what forum this is on). This is just one more example of a filler plot hole.

all I can say to that is Bleach Exile > Online Manga Reader > Dragon Ball > Chapter #246 > Page #9 last panel.

Since in the manga Vegeta says his tail will "grow back" and it never does..... what does that mean?

I also didn't buy that theory and after see Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. could go SSj it really can't be applied. Though did you ever thought that Super Saiyan can be just a male thing and females cannot ascend into it no matter her power (even more seeing what Toriyama stated)?

It is a way to health similar to Senzu beans and since these ones don't regrow tails (IIRC) there is no doubt the healing pod would regrow tails.
