Following the completion of the Jump Super Anime Tour, and just prior to the anime special’s release on DVD, Naho Ooishi adapted the special into a manga format. The manga was divided in half and released in two separate issues of V-Jump as smaller insert booklets: the first part in the May 2009 issue (released 21 March 2009), and the second part in the June 2009 issue (released 21 April 2009). This manga adaptation is not available outside of these initial printings.

Tarble, Vegeta’s younger brother, is chased to Earth by two members of Freeza’s remnant army, Avo and Cado.

Goten and Trunks quickly drive Avo and Cado to the wall, forcing the duo to merge into Aka. Goten and Trunks counter by using Fusion, but are soon overwhelmed.
