What chapter of DB had been published when you were born?

Post by Xagani » Sun Feb 10, 2013 2:19 pm

I was born on 18/03/1988, so mine was between chapters 164 & 165: "God Appears" and "Shenlong is Revived!!"

Would be Chapter 502 "Is This Gonna Work?! The Potara Fusion!", but it seems that Weekly Shonen Jump was on break that day. :evil:
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.

I was born between chapter 416, "kamehameha vs kamehameha: A final showdown", and chapter 417, "The grand finale".
Chapter 417 was released just 2 days after I was born :)

EDIT

Chapter 471 was published 3 days before I was born. I guess that's when Boo's rampage starts.

Oh thank you. It's cool that I was born during the end of the Freeza saga.

Where would mine be? 09/14/89
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Chapter 357 - News from Bulma.

It may not have any chapter, but I like it. I really like how Cell's Time Machine was introduced.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!
