Dragon Ball fans all over the world pitch in with amazing fan art to pay tribute to Goku Day

A special moment for everyone’s favorite Super Saiyan.

9 May might seem like a day like any other, but for some Dragon Ball fans, it’s an opportunity to show their love for one of their favorite heroes: Goku

But how is 9 May associated with Goku? Well, similar to other Japanese holidays like Cat Day or Maid Day, it has to do with the sound of the date. 9 May can be rewritten simply as “5-9”, which is pronounced “go-ku” in Japanese, in other words, Goku Day.

▼ Netizens celebrated the day by drawing pictures of the famed Super Saiyan
in all his powerful brilliance.

To the best hero ever 🥰 #migattenogokui #悟空の日 #GokuDay #dragonball https://t.co/Nd6pjZKU9Q

It is no overstatement to say that characters in Dragon Ball have influenced countless people out there in the world, and if the ton of gorgeous drawings — some of them so detailed they’re pictures within pictures — are any indication, the most beloved has got to be Goku.

So happy Goku Day, everyone! And may your own energy-slinging adventures never end.
