You might also be a Dragon Ball fan if when you were a kid you ate, slept and took your toys with you everywhere and everyday you and one toy would play an adventure. Also if your singing the original music while you play and do the voices of the narrator and say " what will happen on the next episode" and telling what happened on the last episode and doing next episode previews. Oh and if you sing the opening and ending themes to every episode your going to play with them.

I used to do that all the time. I had no friends up until 7th grade because of this.

Damn I guess I got lucky with friends. They would play with me, but not to the extent of how I play. It's nice to know other people in the world played like me too.

You might be a Dragonball fan if you role play as Vegeta and your best friend was Goku. You would always fight at the park after school, and everyone would just look and be befuddled...That was me 8)

You might be a DB fan if:
1. You know most of the lists like this.
2. You can rattle off the list like a liturgy
3. You feel the need to "go back to the good old days"
4. You have given up on Funimation and later the whole dub fan vs sub fan thing.
5. You can't help but buy the Mexican dub even though you don't speak Spanish/Do speak it fluently enough to tell it's not all it's made out to be.
6. You hold your hands over your kid's ears when the name "Chichi" is used. EVEN AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS.
7. You don't have high hopes about the upcoming Dragonball movie
8. You are taking a trip up/down to Durango this time of year.
9. You try to find a cosplay outfit of the character in normal clothes to REALLY stand out.
10. You have tried to imitate the way Goku speaks Spanish/Japanese/English

-Written at least two fanfics for Dragonball
-Like listening to Shunsuke Kikuchi's BGM

If you've ever yelled like a super saiyan during a real fight.

(I did that in like 4th grade once...the Frieza dub was currently airing on Toonami.)

I always did that! I liked to think I was Vegeta, which was a bad chose because I acted like a jerk. Damn you Funimation! Vegeta wasn't constantly a jerk.

You might be a DB fan if you ever clenched your fists and started yelling like you were powering up.

-You dyed your hair blond in middle school for the sole purpose of making yourself "Super Saiya-jin" (I did this, lol)

-You have a need to buy DVDs from Japan that you cannot play or understand for the sole purpose of having them.

-You make a DBZ site that lasts for 10 years. (Sorry VegettoEX =P)

-You actually believed the scene where Gohan explains the properties of Ki to Videl was true.

You might be a DB fan if the first time you witnessed "Super Sonic" you were the only person who recognized it as an incredibly obvious DBZ rip-off.

You- "Dude Sonic just went Super Saiyan!!"

Your friend- "What the fuck is a Super Saiyan?"

Uh... isn't Pan 10 in GT? Also, that would make Bra 9...

In Tokyo Revelations, an OVA I haven't seen in years, the main character's hair goes blond and eyes go greeny blue, so obvious.

Honestly I like thinking to myself since GT is filler, it is 10 years later and pan is tall and so looks 14 years old rather than 9.
