What was the Shonen Jump Volume closest to your birthday?

Post by eledoremassis02 » Sat Jul 11, 2015 1:11 am

For me it was
Weekly Shōnen Jump 1989 #16

Image

Chapter
Image

216:怯える戦士たち
Obieru Senshi-tachi
Frightened Warriors

Chapter Synopsis
Kuririn fires the blast right at the bad guys, and the Saibaimen try to fly away. Kuririn then directs the blast into the air, and it comes down and scatters into six blasts. Three of the Saibaimen are blown up, and almost a fourth, and Vegeta and Nappa get hit as well. When the smoke clears, everyone cheers. The Saibaiman who just barely dodged the blast comes at Gohan, but Piccolo grabs it by the arm. He punches it in the stomach, tosses it into the air, and then fires up a mouth blast, disintegrating it. Gohan thanks him, and Piccolo says he wasn’t doing it to save him, but as a warm up for the splendid fight.

Vegeta, along with Nappa, comes out of the dust unscathed saying if a splendid fight is what they want, it’s what they’ll get. Tenshinhan can’t believe they survived, and Kuririn says he’d put his full power into that. Nappa says he wants to take on the five of them himself, and hopes they’ll make it fun for him. Kuririn says the Earth is shaking as Nappa powers up, and Chiaotzu tells Tenshinhan his Chōnōryoku is ineffective. Nappa is ready to strike, and everyone is worried.

Akira Toriyama's note:
『F・J』(ファミコンジャンプ)の中盤でつまづき停滞中。ついつい他のカセットに浮気しちゃいそうな僕です <明>
I’m stuck in the middle of Famicom Jump, where I keep slipping up. I think I might end up cheating on it with another cart. <Akira>

Who's the guy on the cover? At first I thought it looked like Josuke from JJBA part 4, but that part of the manga didn't start until 1992.

but i am sure there was no dragonball chapter in it.

but the closest thing dragonball related which aired near my birthday was probably the last GT episode which aired exactly 7 months before my birthday.

I used the manga guide on the site. There has to be a weekly jump database that extends past Dragon Ball somewhere online. I try and find one for you

Like it has already been said, it's on the website, on the manga guide.

No, why would it? It's fiction. The strength of the characters is not possible to reach in reality.
I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

BTW mine was chapter 144, when Goku loses to King Piccolo.

As for the Jump cover, I think it was this one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kami_sama ... 690645321/ featuring Kenshiro
