May 12, 201510 yr May 9th has always been a special day in the Dragon World, most significantly as the in-universe date in which the world was taken over by the Demon King Piccolo in chapter 153. The date is also an out-of-universe pun on “Gokuâ€, where the date’s numbers, “five†and “nineâ€, can be pronounced as go and kÅ«, respectively. In the past, fans and even official rights-holders have unofficially used the date for their own celebrations. This year, however, the “Japan Anniversary Association†has officially declared May 9th to be “Goku Day†(悟空ã®æ—¥) in Japan.

May 16, 201510 yr I wonder how they're going to celebrate the holiday. I know the DBZ fans over in Japan are loving it and DBZ sales are probably sky rocketing.
