South City (南の都 Minami no Miyako), called South Capitol in the Viz manga, is one of the five major capitals on Earth. It is located in the southeast part of the Southern Continent.
Overview[]
One day, Mr. Satan and the master of the Satan Castle were on tour in South City. At a bar, Satan and his martial-arts master made the mistake of making fun of Mercenary Tao's hairstyle. As a result, the master of the Satan Castle was killed and Mr. Satan was heavily injured.[1]
South City is mentioned in Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest when Dr. Kochin tells Bulma that he and Dr. Wheelo turned a vast forest area near South City into a wasteland in a flash using some of Dr. Wheelo's "brillant scientific techniques".
It was later mentioned by Future Trunks to Goku that the battle with the androids would take place on an island southwest of it, Amenbo Island.
A news report mentions Cell attacking the city.[2]
Trivia[]
- South City was originally slated to be the location in which the World Martial Arts Tournament was held in the Dragon Ball anime, but this was later contradicted by the manga stating that it was held on Papaya Island. The line mentioning the city was not present in the manga, and the contradiction was likely caused by a different line at a later point in the manga in which Master Roshi stated that him, Goku, and Krillin would be leaving for South City to head to the tournament.
- In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, if the players visit South City after the events of the Android/Cell storyline as Goku, Gohan or Piccolo during free roam, the characters will express grief and regret over the tragic events that occurred on May 12, and their inability to prevent them from happening.
