The Go! Go! Ackman cel comic sequel manga series continues onward from Toriyama's original 11-chapter manga series (published over the course of 1993-1994 in the same magazine), coinciding with and promoting the first Go! Go! Ackman video game for the Nintendo Super Famicom. It was followed by a second and third cel comic series, serving the same purpose in the same magazine.

Notes
- ↑ The play on words all chapter long is that 仙人 (sen'nin) meaning "hermit" (or "immortal" or "sage"; the same as in the "Turtle Hermit") and 千人 (sen nin) meaning "1,000 people" are homophones.
- ↑ 仙術 roughly meaning something like "immortal techniques" or "sage techniques"
