Akira Toriyama Comments

Akira Toriyama's author notes for each of the three collected volumes are included on page 573. Pages 570-572 feature a merger of the reader Q&A columns entitled "Akira Toriyama's 'Ask Me Anything' Corner!" that were included in each collected volume in Japan. Unlike the VIZBIG edition, no questions are omitted in this section of the 3-in-1 edition. Instead, the full-color reprint of the cover illustration for Dragon Ball Tankōbon Volume 1 found on page 572 of the VIZBIG is omitted.

Preview

Page 574 is a preview for Dragon Ball 3-in-1 Edition Volume 3. It features a panel of General Blue and Kuririn from chapter 76 accompanied by the following text:

In the Next Volume
The Red Ribbon Army is closing in on all sides! While Kame-Sen'nin fends off the troops that have infiltrated his island, Goku, Bulma and Kuririn try to outrun gun-toting bad guys underwater. The gang is in for a whole lot of trouble, especially when General Blue steps up with his mysterious power...

The final two pages of the volume are advertisements for the Viz publications of the Dr. Slump manga and Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.
