Introduction
The volume's introduction from author Akira Toriyama, as printed on the front flap of the dust cover:
One night about half a year ago, I took in a stray cat. It was a rainy night, so I took pity on it and figured that I would at least let it stay in the house until the rain let up.
But it was a really friendly, cute cat, so we ended up keeping it as part of the family. It's a jet-black cat, so its name is Koge ["char"]. As a result, my assistant Matsuyama-kun, a major cat-hater, is in a state of terror every time he comes over to work.
— Akira Toriyama
This feature is omitted in the Japanese digital edition. Viz includes their own English translation of Toriyama's words on the first page of their print and digital editions with the illustration printed in greyscale.

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.
The Q&A are not included in the Japanese digital edition. They are not included in the Viz English publication at all, print or digital. They are partially translated in Dragon Ball VIZBIG Edition Volume 1 and fully translated in Dragon Ball 3-in-1 Edition Volume 1.
