This issue featured Dragon Ball Chapter 221 and went on sale on 25 April 1989 in Japan. The Weekly Jump cover gets a small reprint in the 30th Anniversary Super History Book,[1] and the illustration itself gets a full-page reprint in Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 1 ("The Complete Illustrations")[2] and a smaller reproduction in the Dragon Ball Chōgashū ("A Visual History").[3]
