That would be the one where Babidi and Buu make their announcement to the Earth, and Supreme Kai takes Gohan to the Z Sword!

July of 1989, Goku was on Snakeway, and Gohan befriended a dinosaur. In short, it was a filler episode just before Vegeta and Nappa arrive on Earth for the first time in anime form.

Episode 33 of GT had aired. As for the dub, I don’t really know. Probably reruns of the Saiyan/Freeza arcs or them airing for the first time.

In the manga (Chapter 379), Vegeta was pummeling Cell in his second form.

In the anime (Episode 145), Kuririn and Trunks killed Cell from the main timeline in Gero’s lab.

For the manga: Chapter 518 came out the day before my birth. So I guess I was born just in time for the final chapter of Dragon Ball to release in Japan a week later. :D

For the anime: On exactly my birthday, Episode 264 came out in Japan. I believe the episode had to do with Super Buu fighting Gotenks and/or Gohan but I can't remember.

Not too bad. :thumbup:

I'm an old man compared to most of you guys.

The day I was born was when the WSJ issue with Chapter #101 ("The Devil's Toilet") went on sale.

The day after my birth, DB anime episode #39 ("The Mysterious Artificial Human #8") aired.

I have a nostalgic soft spot for the Dragon Ball 10th anniversary movie. Ditto the Buu saga.

It would appear Gyu-Mao was introduced around the time I was born.

On the other side of the world, this episode of DBZ aired the night I was born, on April 27th, 1994: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/episode/dbz/eps-225/

The previous day, April 26th, the 468th chapter of the manga ("The Nightmare Returns", vol. 39) was run in Shonen Jump (#21/22): http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Back_to_the_Nightmare

Coincidentally, DBZ premiered on April 26th, 1989, almost exactly 5 years before I was born.

I was born 1989-04-14.

Gokuh was rushing to help Gohan, Kulilin, and Piccolo fight the Saiyans in Chapter 219: Three Hours.

In the anime, Gokuh was adventuring with Chichi in the filler episodes at the end of Dragon Ball. Specifically the second to last episode: Hurry, Goku! The Mysterious Mountain of the Five Elements (Episode 152).
