As I write this, I have three Dragon Ball chapters left to draw before it comes to its auspicious conclusion. Thanks to the unfailing support of all you fans, it seems like it will be able to end as popular as always. Thank you!! I’m terribly sorry, but I just felt that I’d rather be able to draw a new comic at my own, somewhat more relaxed, pace. These volumes will end with number 42, which, just like this one, will have lots more pages than usual. Please be sure to pick it up!!

Title Page Special Feature

As the tankōbon are compilations of pre-existing chapters, they are intended to be continuously read from beginning to end. Often times, any title pages not considered integral to the story, or due to page count issues between chapters, were moved to the back of the volume and collected in a special gallery following the volume’s final chapter. The gallery notes the title pages are “as they appeared in Weekly Shōnen Jump“, which include the original tag lines and “Bird Studio” logo. These features are typically removed from the title pages remaining in the volume’s main content.

Notes

  • No chapter title pages were omitted from this volume.

Supplemental Images

The following supplemental images are included in this volume and are original illustrations drawn by Akira Toriyama exclusively for this tankōbon volume:
