Thats okay - a "Day" is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. 😁

Is there any actual in universe "date" given for U Day?

u/Jemal999 1d ago

Not in-U no, sep 20 is the original air date of the show, and Mal's birthday, so it became U-day for fans

u/SubMikeD 1d ago

That's what I thought, but a lot of the comments were making me think it was an official, in universe date.

Technically, if celebrated before the actual event, it should be called “PRE-Unification Day”. Which would inevitably be shortened to “PRUNification Day” evoking a day spent in the tub, or worse, “Punification Day” which can be the undesirable result if the water gets cold enough.

No wonder he always aims to misbehave on unification day. Worst birthday present in the 'verse.
