A seminal series from a legendary creator. Dragon Ball, a wry update on the Chinese "Monkey King" myth, introduces us to Son Goku, a young monkey-tailed boy whose quiet life is turned upside-down when he meets Bulma, a girl determined to collect the seven "Dragon Balls." If she gathers them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her one wish. But the precious orbs are scattered all over the world, and to get them she needs the help of a certain super-strong boy...

A Collection of Volumes 7 - 9!

You do not want to mess with the Red Ribbon Army. To get what they want, they'll sic you with scary thugs, machine gunfire, and even torpedoes! Only Son Goku would think nothing of challenging this evil crime organization--anything to get back the one Dragon Ball his grandfather gave him.

As the Red Ribbon Army closes in on Goku and his friends, Goku must face an array of opponents while preventing all seven Dragon Balls from falling into evil hands. First there's cruel General Blue who has a mysterious power up his sleeve. Then there's master assassin Taopaipai, so strong that Goku's blasts barely faze him. But neither of these opponents compare to the masked challenger Goku faces at Baba Uranai's--he'll give Goku the shock of his life!

About the Author

Renowned worldwide for his playful, innovative storytelling and humorous, distinctive art style, Akira Toriyama burst onto the manga scene in 1980 with the wildly popular Dr. Slump. His hit series Dragon Ball (published in the U.S. as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z) ran from 1984 to 1995 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. He is also known for his design work on video games such as Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Tobal No. 1, and Blue Dragon. His recent manga works include COWA!, Kajika, Sand Land, Neko Majin, and a children's book, Toccio the Angel. He lives with his family in Japan.

Not so new
4 Stars
Not so new
I give 4 stars only because the books arrived in a "not so new" condition, could've been worse so im not making a huge deal about it, as it is the content inside that matters not the covers, but something I will be worry of in the future as it is the first time I've had this issue. Usually prefer to buy in person as I typically wouldn't purchase any book that had already been damaged even if only slightly. Prime shipping was speedy as always.

These VIZBIG editions for Dragon Ball are a wonderful option. They pack three of the regular volumes in one book (except for the last book of each series: book 5 of the VIZBIG edition for Dragon Ball includes 4 volumes while book 9 of the VIZBIG edition for Dragon Ball Z includes only the last 2 volumes) in a larger format (kanzenban, instead of tankoubon) with full-color pages in some chapters (these selected chapters are entirely colored). Also, they're cheaper than trying to buy each tankoubon separately: each tankoubon is roughly $7.95 (Amazon price), whereas each VIZBIG kanzenban is about $12.20. Considering Dragon Ball is 16 volumes (tankoubon) long but only 5 kanzenban long, and Dragon Ball Z is 26 volumes (tankoubon) long but only 9 kanzenban long, well... You do the math.

The only caveat is, obviously, that the VIZBIG books are quite bulky: there could be more risk of damage from shipping and the books will fill a lot of space in your backpack if your planning to take them with you anywhere. Also, they're quite heavy and could make reading unconfortable: I read them while lying down on my bed, so I put a pillow over my belly to support the book while reading, otherwise my wrists would hurt after a while from the weight of the book. I also read them while riding the subway and it was quite difficult (definitely no stand-up reading), but I managed. Even with these nuances, I still think the books deserve 5 stars: the printing and binding (very important for such heavy books) are top-notch.

Some people complain about the translation because apparently it uses too much childish jargon, but I didn't find it annoying at all. Maybe there are better options for sociolinguistic register, but I can't really vouch for that, as my Japanese is not good enough to read the original manga. For the same reason, I can't confirm if the Viz edition really got censored (I went online for a quick check of some fan scanlations, but couldn't tell if there are actually redrawn panels).

Of course, if you're a collector, you might aim for the original tankoubon. Well, that task may prove a bit difficult, as, apparently, Viz is realeasing sort of a new edition of the tankoubon. I haven't confirmed this, but if it's true, soon the 1st edition volumes (the red ones for Dragon Ball -the kanzenban are yellow- and white ones for Dragon Ball Z -the kanzenban are red-) will be rare items soaring through the skies.

In all, I really think this was a very nice investment. I don regret it in the least and I actually recommend it strongly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story, if you can stand being associated with anime people
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

When I was a kid, Dragonball came on early in the morning on Saturdays. They only had most of the first arc translated, and they had changed a bunch of things to make it less sexual. This was back in the day when if you wanted to watch anime you had to watch Sci-Fi channel's "Saturday Anime" or buy tapes from shady people at conventions. So, the weird, cool story of Dragonball was right up my alley. Seeing these big editions of the Dragonball manga is fantastic. They've kept in all the embarrassing sexual stuff, so you get Dragonball as it was meant to be consumed.

I like that I can order it from Amazon, because I'm always a little embarrassed to buy anime or manga from real life people. This is a great buy if you like anime or manga but dislike being associated with the kind of people who buy anime and manga.

So huge DBZ fan and watched the original Dragon Ball on Toonnami back in the early early 2000s. I wanted to rewatch the series and realized that was some cash and said hey lets collect the manga and go all the way through. I will say, I am glad I chose this option, VIZBIG Edition is a comfy fit and really makes some of the best Toriyama's artwork ever drawn. A must have for a Dragonball fan and a must have for a reader. This is a great piece of martial arts meets fantasy meets science fiction.

The VizBig books are 3 in 1 book like the other DB available, but much better quality pages, bigger page size (hence big) and a number of colour pages.
The only disappointment is there is no pattern across the spine for the series like the other versions have.

The content is an absolute classic in every way, I raced through it in very little time. Will revisit.
