In episode 70 of the original Dragon Ball series, Krillin fights one of
Fortuneteller Baba's minions, who is a vampire. After he's defeated, Oopa and
Puar jump in, and they manage to defeat him.

To do this, Oopa stands like a cross, stating that vampires can't stand
crosses. In the next angle, the vampire is shown panicking, as he pictures a
crucifix over Oopa, which starts to radiate light with organ music playing, as
the words "Jesus Christ!!" and "Oh God!!" scroll across the screen.

In order for a vampire to be afraid of a crucifix, then the religious aspect
of it must exist in universe, and the scrolling text seems to confirm this.
Therefore, I'm wondering: **Does Jesus Christ exist in the Dragon Ball
Universe?** [![enter image description

Does Jesus Christ exist in the Dragon Ball universe?


The answer to your question would be a **no**!

Jesus Christ doesn't exist in the Dragon Ball Universe. _However_ , there are
multiple **Real Life references/ Fictional works that exist in reality** which
have been referenced on the show. A few other examples apart from the one you
stated would be:

  * The entire Pilaf Saga being a loose adaptation of _Journey to the West_ , a famous Novel from Ming-era China.
  * When Krillin kicks General Blue in the face without enough force to make his nose bleed and Blue complains about the Bleeding and compares it to the action of _throwing red paint on the Mono Lisa_.
  * There's a grocery bag which says _"Super Mario"_ on it, in Chapter 71 in the manga when Krillin and Launch come back to the Kame house.

I have attached a list
[here](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_real_life_references) with
more similar references with regard to the same.
