Volume Information

Dust Jacket & Obi

The seventh volume’s dust jacket features an illustration by Toyotarō with various Gods of Destruction, led by Universe 7’s Beerus, popping out of the frame. Champa and a circular frame with various Kaiōshin are featured on the back cover.

The included obi promotes the Dragon Ball Official Site’s ongoing news posts, the then-forthcoming Dragon Ball Super: Broly theatrical film in December 2018, and monthly release of Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine (where the Dragon Ball Super manga is serialized).

Volume Introduction by Toyotarō

新刊が出るたびにサインを求めてくる友人がいます。

一応イラストも添えてるのですが毎巻別のキャラを描いた方がいいかなぁと思って「今回は全でいい？」 と聞いたら「誰それ？」 と言われました。

いや読んでないんかい！

みんなが読みたくなるような漫画にできるようにがんばります…。

I have a friend who asks me to sign their copy of the manga each time a new volume comes out. I add in an illustration while I’m at it, but I prefer to draw a different character for each volume. So I asked “how about the Omni-King?” and they said “who?”

Have you even been reading these books?!

I’ll do my best to make this a manga everyone will want to read…

Volume Contents

The title for the collected volume — 宇宙サバイバル！力の大会開始！ (Uchū Sabaibaru! Chikara no Taikai Kaishi! or “Universe Survival! The Tournament of Power Begins!”) — is taken directly from the thirty-third chapter’s title.

The volume’s standard front cover is a desaturated version of the dust jacket’s front cover, while the back cover is a new, complementary illustration of various angels (roughly in the same position as their respective gods from the front cover, with two additional angels also pictured).

The inside title page showcases a sketch of Son Goku, while the table of contents features Gods of Destruction Beerus, Liquir, and Sidra.

To fill out the necessary page count, Toyotarō supplies new drawings between chapters, with this volume exclusively featuring team lineups (specifically the Universes 7, 9, and 6 teams). No bonus chapters are included (with the Jump Victory Carnival 2018 bonus chapter being the only non-collected material as of this volume’s publication). “Corrections Done by Toriyama-sensei Himself” make a reappearance from the the third and sixth collected volumes, with a brief showcase of character design and dialog adjustments.
