Christmas in the Dragon World

Post by KBABZ » Tue Dec 24, 2019 7:00 pm

Have the Dragon Ball characters ever celebrated Christmas outside of title page artwork? If not, how do you think they would? Outside of Dragon Ball Baubles of course (Ballbles?).

I like to think Chi Chi and Goku have a romantic Christmas dinner at KFC

I’d love to know how Toriyama would depict Jesus in his work.

Well Goku did die and come back to life...

I don't think Jesus would threaten to kill God like Goku did.

There's some symbolism with Fused Zamasu in the anime which references Jesus and the Cross, that's the only thing that comes to mind.

Jesus possibly existed in the DB universe, at least in the anime. During the Baba tournament, when Upa and Puar fight the vampire, Upa acts like a cross and “Jesus Christ” floats across the screen

Maybe Santa Claus would be a Kaioshin dedicated to spreading joy to mortal children.

Buddhists don't celebrate Christmas.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

You're referencing OG Dragon Ball? Never watched/read the Piccolo arcs... (well, I am halfway through the first one)...

I’m going to be honest here, when I saw your username, I was pretty confused for a second there.
