In what seems like such a short time, it’s been ten years since I started drawing Dragon Ball. Thinking about it, this number is astounding to a guy like me, who has no self-discipline, and I can only think that I’ve done a pretty good job for myself. This, in spite of the fact that, aside from my hobbies, I am an absolute slacker when it comes to work. Before I knew it, it’s like, “Ah! Crap! I accidentally put effort into something!” It’s about time I take another decade to sit around doing nothing!! Yep, I’m pretty sure I’m not cut out for weekly serials.

Title Page Special Feature

As the tankōbon are compilations of pre-existing chapters, they are intended to be continuously read from beginning to end. Often times, any title pages not considered integral to the story, or due to page count issues between chapters, were moved to the back of the volume and collected in a special gallery following the volume’s final chapter. The gallery notes the title pages are “as they appeared in Weekly Shōnen Jump“, which include the original tag lines and “Bird Studio” logo. These features are typically removed from the title pages remaining in the volume’s main content.

Notes

  • No chapter title pages were omitted from this volume.

Supplemental Images

The following supplemental images are included in this volume and are original illustrations drawn by Akira Toriyama exclusively for this tankōbon volume:
