My favorite line from that episode is when Cell told Trunks the purpose of the Cell Games. Cell said it was to see terror in the faces of humans, and Trunk then gave a terrified look.

The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I was born the day before chapter 60, "Ninja Murasaki!!", premiered, with the anime still not having had a single episode aired. Can I join you old farts?
B wrote:Dragon Ball Volume 29, released March 15, 1992. The Z Fighters take on the Androids, with Vegeta now ale to become a Super Saiyan. Androids 17 and 18 are released from their pods. Released a month after I was born.
Dragon Ball Z Episode 128 "Goku, Double Shock!! Caught Between Illness and Adversary" or "Double Trouble for Goku," released February 19, 1992. Goku takes on Android 19, but his heart gives out before the battle finishes. Released one day after I was born.
Wow, the anime was pretty close to the manga back then, and I don't recall any serious filler in the Android Saga to create a good gap. This episode is like what? Three or four chapters behind the manga?
Eighteen chapters behind (which is still pretty damn close, as it takes a couple months to produce an episode). The manga wasn't originally released in tankoubons, you know, and Shonen Jump was publishing the chapters where Cell's time machine is discovered when that episode premiered.

You would get along great with my friend. He’s a huge Tenshinhan fan… but it’s Tien to him, of course .
Wow, I hadn’t seen that before. Guess it changes things a bit:
Volume: #148, Meet At Karin Tower!!
Published a day after my birthday!

Dragon Ball Z Episode 46 "The Ruthless Frieza" / "Defying Orders" in Japan. It aired on May 2, 1990. At the time, I had spent four days alive.
I wasn't into DB back then. I was more interested in crying.

Going by the release of chapters in Weekly SJ and not the tankoubon:
Dragon Ball Chapter 360: Kami-sama and the Demon King Become One, released February 24, 1992, six days after I was born. The chapter title gives away what happens, and it's still the Android Saga.

I was born Nov. 6th 1984. So that's before even the first chapter of Dragon Ball (by about a mont) and two years before the first episode of DB aired in the anime.

In GT's defense, that saga was okay until this:
Ugh.
Eh, I guess I'll do my brother's:
Manga: Dragon Ball Chapter 490: The Extreme Confidence of Gotenks!!, released Ocotber 24, 1994. Gotenks VS Supe Buu. Five days after he was born.
Anime: Dragon Ball Z Episode "It Came Ou~t!!
The Legendary Z Sword" or "The Z Sword", released October 19, 1994. Right on his birthday.
Shit, he got Gotenks' fight. :<

Toriyama didn't even think of the series when I was born.
Although I find it funny I was in the 4th grade when Goku turned SSJ in Japan.
I was about 2 years old turning 3 when the series started appearing in Shonen Jump.

Hmm...
--The day before my birthday: A historical play was aired instead of DBZ.
--The episode before that: "Ni-juu-san nichi wa jidaigeki toku-ban, san-juu nichi wa nenmatsu tokubetsu bangumi de housou wa yasumi desu" (?!) was aired instead of DBZ [yes, a quote from
Kanzentai's Episode Guide]
--The week after my birthday: Some retarded year-end special was aired instead of DBZ.
--OK, so
NO EPISODE WAS AIRED WINTHIN A 2 WEEK RADIUS OF MY BIRTHDAY!!
And for the manga, Dragonball chapter #403 was issued 3 days before the day of my birth.

Guess I'll join the group too.
I was born December 7th, 1984, almost a year before dragon ball started...
Now i gotta find some NOT-OLD-RELATED things to do, any suggestions?
