Pretty much all of the major good guys have official birth years; Gohan's is Age 757. The Daizenshuu 7 time line says Gohan was born sometime in May of that year, but no specific date is given. I'm fairly sure the only character with a specific birthday is Piccolo (Ma Junior), who's born on May 9th, Age 753. That's the day Goku defeats Daimao, and it's one of the few days to be given a specific date in the manga, when Daimao goes on TV and announces his plan to destroy 1 section of the world each year on that date (the specific year number is only given in the later guidebooks, however).B wrote:-Birthdays for everyone. Just because, I guess. I think Gohan is the only character with a date, and even then, does he have a year?
As for new guidebooks, I just want one that's a big frickin' tome. I'm tired of each new guidebook being smaller than the last; give me something I could crack walnuts with. Just some big, super-comprehensive all-in-one monster that covers everything from the manga to Super Saiyan study desks (but, as Olivier Hague says, clearly differentiates between the manga universe and add-ons like filler and video games). And I want lots of new background info, and not just generic plot summarizations, "Goku's a pretty cool guy" fluff, or stuff recycled from the daizenshuu for the Nth time. As much as I love Toriyama's map of the DB comsos, I think it's time, it's kinda tiring seeing it in every new guidebook without any new information added (or with information actually removed, as is the case with DB Landmark). I don't especially care what, as long as it's new. It could just be an inventory of Dr. Brief's porn collection, or the complete biography of Sea Turtle. Just as long as it gives Mike and Hujio something interesting to talk about on the podcast.
