Introduction
The volume's introduction from author Akira Toriyama, as printed on the front flap of the dust cover:
This is the first time I've put up my photo in this section of a volume. This is me with my son, Sasuke. In putting up a picture of my son like this, it is of course true that I'm quite the doting parent, but it's also a lifesaver, because it's a bother always having to draw an illustration for this column. Maybe I'll start doing this from now on, is my lazy idea. Next time, maybe I'll use a photo of my cat Koge, or my dog Mato. Hmmm... This is nice and easy...
— Akira Toriyama

Q&A Session
This volume contains a short, two-page Q&A session with author Akira Toriyama entitled, "Toriyama-san's Dragon Ball Ask-Me-Anything Corner", where he answered questions sent in by readers. Anyone was able to send in a postcard to the address listed in the book, and individuals whose submissions ran in a subsequent volume were promised a signed illustration from Toriyama himself. This solicitation remained in place in all printings through mid-1995 (the end of the series' run in Weekly Shōnen Jump), after which it was removed.
