Dr. Slump takes place in 1980, but also in DB's age 745.

779 - 745 = 34

1980 + 34 = 2014

The Champa Saga takes place in/around 2014.

Man, implications are weird in the Dragon Ball multiverse.

Ya ever think Oolong gets offended when he crosses path pig furry, or does he transform into a human in retaliation?

Speaking with the infinite wisdom and insight of a mighty dragon, people who identify as non-human creatures are weird. tongue

I thought that, as a dragon, your only thought towards non-dragon creatures was "Oh, lunch."

Nonsense! Sometimes they're entertainment. Sometimes they're treasure.

Not that I would ever be the type to abduct damsels or burn down villages for the fun of it. Several times. Nope, perish the thought.

Why would dragons want damsels?

I mean. Just logistically speaking, I don't really see the point?

A variety of reasons. Decoration, labor, companionship, or because they're tasty. Why do people want cats?

EDIT: It can even be a status symbol. Lol, you thought your kingdom was the biggest and awesomest thing around but now I own your princess and half your army is smoldering. Dragons win, humans cry.

Why only damsels though?

Why would damsels be better aesthetically for a giant overgrown lizard?

Why would a dragon need labor, and what work could the average young woman possibly do that a dragon couldn't?

I thought mostly dragons just slept on their hoard.

And. I mean, maybe companionship? But.

For food, why keep them? Why not just eat them there? And, again, why damsels?

Humans originally domesticated cats mainly to catch rats and mice and other pests.

Speaking as a fellow dragon, I fully understand what Tobias is talking about. Damsels have a very deep and special connection with dragons and explaining that to a non-dragon would be rather difficult. It'd be like trying to explain what it was like to see to someone without eyes.

Why would damsels be better aesthetically for a giant overgrown lizard?

Because, culturally, only women can be beautiful. Dragons are the ultimate expression of the traditionally masculine ideal: powerful, confident, wealthy, influential creatures that shake the world with every step, who act without fear of consequence or repercussion, who force the world to bend around us rather than changing to accommodate it. As the embodiment of Toxic Masculinity, we couldn't admire the features of men; that'd be gay.

For food, why keep them? Why not just eat them there? And, again, why damsels?

I'll just leave this here. ->

Karoly revealed!

That's hilarious and I love it. I want this game so bad.

...evil grin

To be quite frank, when you're a big ass powerful Dragon, I'm pretty sure shits and giggles is a viable answer to any question about why they do what they do.

That and because I felt like it, because I can and Fwoosh!

That last one is my approximation of what a dragon breathing fire on some smart ass human sounds like.

[up][up] I mean.

That doesn't sound very practical? For the dragon, I mean.

Like. Probably definitely not for the damsel, but.

Um...it'd basically lead to a "square peg in round hole" scenario, except the dragon would slam his "square peg" into the woman. With a hammer. >.>

I mean.

I'm not sure it'd even go in anywhere? It'd just sorta bump against her.

Like. I imagine the thing would be the size of her entire body? At least.

It'd be more dry humping than anything.

The damsel would probably just get crushed.

That is, unless the Dragon is working for the Damsel.

No one would see it coming at all.

Well two options here; one, the dragon takes on a human form and bangs her that way, or two, he kind of...rearranges her internal structure to make him fit. >.>

I mean. It wouldn't just be her internal structure? Like. The external too, probably.

It'd be a lot of rearranging.

At a certain point you'd just make a really big blow-up doll.

There has to be easier ways to get sex.

Like, again, why human women? Why not find another dragon? Or, like, a drake?

Or, I dunno, a giant? Or a troll? Or an ogre. Or. Something more to scale?

I mean, nevermind all the other stuff, just speaking purely about the logistical, practical aspects.

Because ogres, giants, and trolls are ugly. Human women are objectively beautiful; why else would everything and their dog want to bang them?

Like, there are half-Giants and half-Trolls and half-Ogres and half-Dragons, but there are no half-Ogre half-Dragons or half-Troll half-Giants. Every species wants human women. Elven women will do in a pinch.

I mean, I'm not sure why hairless overgrown chimps with slightly better posture would be attractive to enormous ancient lizards to begin with.

And. Like, even if you take the standpoint that they don't consider them attractive but just use them. Like. Like it's still not a practical or effective method?

Well, humans seem to be able to procreate with everything under the sun, so... I imagine that it comes down to sexual compatibility.

And sure, dragons may have penises bigger than the woman's entire body, but Dragons can use magic, remember? While shapeshifting's generally the domain of Silvers, I'm fairly sure they can find a way to screw a human woman without turning her insides into outsides.

If you want the consequences of dragons mating with humans, play Fire Emblem.
