There is a rare artwork of Goku as an elderly character created by original author Akira Toriyama, and it is truly remarkable. This artwork appeared during the timeline of Dragon Ball Z, around 1989, depicting the future of Goku as he might appear in old age.
What is intriguing is that when this artwork of elderly Goku was released, Toriyama mentioned that even he did not know how Dragon Ball would end. This indicates that the creator of Dragon Ball is always open to new ideas for the story.
How old is Goku now?
Goku’s age varies across the Dragon Ball series, especially when considering his time spent in the Other World. Goku’s appearance can be explained by the fact that Saiyans age slower than humans. This is a biological trait that allows Saiyans to participate in battles for longer durations.
Furthermore, Goku’s adventures have taken him through many years of life in the Other World, where time does not affect his aging like it does on Earth.
Regarding specific ages, when Dragon Ball Super (DBS) begins, Goku is around 42 years old, based on the timeline of the anime and the events leading up to it. Around the events of the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, which takes place shortly before the aforementioned timeline, Goku would be approximately 47 years old.
