Cool thread.

I looked it up and I was born two days after episode 149 titled "How I Have Waited for This Day!! Cell's Prologue to Perfection"

How weird since that's one of my favourite episodes. I always loved the Piccolo/17 fight.

For now, you have to flip the Tankōbon volume pages in the "Manga Guide". So going by that, Chapter 235 debuted the day before your birth.

I was born October 15, 1988. A few days after Episode 129 of Dragonball: Time Traveling Goku. It's filler, but at least it's filler with young Master Roshi in it!

Even better was that I was born a few days after Goku finally became a champion in the manga.

I knew it had to be somewhere in that manga section, thanks. :D

Chapter 235 eh? I'll have to flip through my Vizbig volume later to see the exact contents, but I can tell that's right at the tale end of the Vegeta material. That's awesome.

Between Episode 30 and 31 of Dragonball. The one where they're making plans for Goku's wedding during the Red Ribbon Arc.
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

I was born between Dragonball Episode 95 & 96 Goku and Krillin start their semifinal match. Thats pretty cool :D

My sister was born between Dragonball Z Episode 116 & 117 Gohan beat Garlic and Kuririn lost his girlfriend. Stuck between terrible filler and a break up...ouch

My brother was born between Dragonball Z Episode 233 & 234 Goku trains Goten and Trunks in the Fusion dance then goes back to the afterlife. thats quite nice, we get as silly dance and a sad farewell.

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.

Feburary 15th, 1989, the day Piccolo Daimao used his Giant-Form technique during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

Too bad it has bad animation.

All three series, I believe, shared the same timeslot with Dr. Slump on Wednesdays at 7 PM. The chronology supposedly went Dr. Slump --> Dragon Ball --> Z --> GT --> Dr. Slump 2.

Looks like the Dr. Slump anime started in April of 1981, and I was born before that.
