The date of the Goku vs Freeza battle

Post by Chuquita » Tue Nov 11, 2008 2:45 am

I know I read somewhere that it was either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. And I also know there's a short comic page by Toriyama about what the characters on Earth (and I think Bulma) are doing during the holidays.


Is Goku and Freeza's battle on the 24th or the 25th?
On hiatus.

It's on Christmas Eve, Age 765. And yeah, there's a short comic strip by Toriyama that shows everyone celebrating Christmas from wherever they were during the Goku/Freeza fight (Tenshinhan and the others playing hide and seek at Kaio's, Bulma playing video games while hiding between those rocks on Namek, etc, Kame-sennin dressed as Santa).
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

. . . it's kinda sad that the gift I'll be asking of my girlfriend for Christmas is to let me watch some damned DragonBall. :cry:

Here is that short little strip. I was very pleased to find out that it was in full color when someone scanned it for me a while back.

So does that mean there's a Jesus in the Dragon Ball universe? Speculation time! :D

Not to rub it in your face, but my girlfriend and I are up to the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai (watching subbed of course) we try to knock over an episode a day, she's still kind of on the fence about it, but watches it with me regardless.

We also just finished watching the first One Piece set.

..Life is good.

My problem ain't a girl who's on the outside looking in at a crazy obsession that she doesn't understand-- she's seen the glory of DragonBall in its entirety, was once obsessed in the very same way and has long since moved on to other anime . . . and now wants for me to do the same.

And that's where we're having the difficulty: I don't want to move on! :cry:

Couldn't get her to go near One Piece with a ten foot pole.
Captain Awesome finally wrote:..Life is good.
It is for me, too. I love it to death.

Her. Love her to death. My girlfriend; I love my girlfriend to death.

Can't I just have two loves?

Actually, in Dr Slump we learn that Superman is a laughing stock to Suppaman. Meanwhile in the Red Ribbon saga of DB, we see that Suppaman is a weakling compared to Grey, who is killed by Tao Pai Pai, who is later defeated by Goku. Thus, it's all a matter of Goku vs Jesus. Since Jesus is human, and we learn from the daizenshuu that Krillin, Yamcha, Tenshinhan and Chaozu are the strongest humans alive, we know for a fact that Goku would win such a VS fight, as he is clearly stronger than the humans who are stronger than Jesus. 8)

FUCK YOU, INTERWEBZ!!! :twisted:

But Jesus is half (alien?) and half human. And according to Vegeta when we first see him in the manga, mixing human blood with other species creates powerful hybrids. So It comes down to Gohan vs. Jesus vs. Goku

Jesus is just the son of a human woman and the God of Earth. The God of Earth at the time (in DB-verse) was probably a human himself. Thus, he's most likely fully human, if he even exists in the DB-verse to begin with. Being God's kid, he's probably been trained in the arts of ki-wielding, but he's still 100% human.

And Vegeta was refering to Saiyan-hybrids when he said they get stronger.

Jesus can turn water into wine, though. So he would turn the water in Goku's blood to wine.

Or, he could give Goku water, and then when he drinks it, turn it into wine. A little less gross, and a lot more funny. Ah...drunk Goku... :D

This I could actually see happening in one of Toriyama's works. I also prefer this to someone like Jesus insta-killing a nice guy like Goku simply because he can.

Although... the ability to feed 5,000 people may act as a fighting deterant around Goku. Jesus wins by default?

Oh gods, not MK. Did you know they're coming out with a DC Universe (Batman, Superman) vs MK video game?

On-topic (sort of): Oh yeah?! Well Goku came back to life more times than Jesus did!

I wonder if Jesus replaced his dad as the next God? :P

... I was about to say that Jesus gained power by coming back, but crap, Goku gains power when dead as well... XD.
Though, resurrected Jesus telep--
Could fl--
Could go all glowy--
... could resurrect people? :?
(Oh, now look what you did: a "the DB version of Jesus" fic seems too interesting to avoid taking notes on...)

(Why, exactly, did so much work go into the plots of MK:DeadlyAlliance and MK:Deceptions, only for everything that came afterward to be an incoherent mess? :( ).

If there was no Jesus, there'd be no reason for Draculaman to fear the image of the cross, would there?
