In _Dragon Ball_ , Mai is a member of Pilaf's Gang and was aftering the Dragon
Balls ever since Goku was a boy (age 12).

In _Dragon Ball Super_ , Mai appears to be young again and studying with
Trunks. At the same time, Goku is already a grandpa.

What is Mai's real age?

What is Mai's actual age in Dragon Ball Super?


She's 10 years old.

Dragon Ball Wikia says

> At some point before May 12th, Age 767, Mai and the other Pilaf Gang members
> managed to use the Dragon Balls to wish for youth.

In 767, Mai makes a wish, in the same year the androids appear, and Future
Trunks follows them back. Present Trunks is one year old.

In 777, Trunks is 11 years old and future Trunks is 31 years old (he's from
the year 797).

So if Mai's wish in 767 to be young turned her into a baby she's one year
younger than Trunks, who was born in 766, so she would be ten years old in
_Dragon Ball Super_ in the year 777.

So in conclusion, Trunks was born in the year 766 year and Mai turned into a
baby in the year 767. Current Trunks is 11 years old so Mai is 10 years old.

In _Dragon Ball Super_ , she would be 10-11 years old due to her and the Pilaf
Gang making that one wish to be young again. So she and Trunks would be about
a year or a few months apart in age.

If you are asking about her real age, as in overall (since the _Dragon Ball_
series), she would technically be older than Goku and even Bulma, since she
was already a fully grown adult during the _Dragon Ball_ series.

Although on a side note, if you look into _Dragon Ball GT_ , she is/was an old
woman while Trunks was a young man. So I don't know what happened there!

Toriyama hinted her age. In _Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods_ , Mai tells her
age as 41, and that would be the age she was in _Dragon Ball_ , meaning she
was over 80 years in _Dragon Ball Super_ , and Future May is around 100 or
more years old.

As to when they made that wish, the best placing would be the Android Saga
before Cell appeared and Picollo and Kami fused. They turned themselves into
toddlers or just very young children. In the alternative timeline, the dragon
was only able to grant the wish for Mai as Picollo got killed by the Androids,
both Shu and Emperor Pilaf died of old age, leaving Mai alone, sometime after
the wish.

Let me speculate here.

Based on
[Wikia](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_character_birth_dates_and_ages),
Pilaf is 20 years older than Bulma, and it would convenient to assume that Mai
is younger than Pilaf but older than Bulma. When Mai stated that she is 41 in
_Battle of Gods_ , I'd assume she refers her age before made young by Shenron.
Thus 41 + 11 (age 767) = ~52 years which is 8 years older than Bulma, 12 years
younger than Pilaf.

Make sense to me.
