Book Description

August 6, 2003 Dragon Ball Z (Viz Paperback) (Book 12)
Enter Trunks As the battle on Namek turns the entire planet into a fireball, Goku and Freeza fight it out to the end--and Goku makes a fateful decision. Awaiting Goku's return from outer space, Earth's heroes are shocked to find another, faster spaceship heading towards them--Freeza is back, stronger than ever, swearing to destroy the Earth before Goku can get there to defend it! But as the heroes prepare to make one last stand, another mysterious warrior appears out of nowhere. His name is Trunks, and he has come to warn the heroes about an enemy who makes Freeza look like a walk in the park...

About the Author

Akira Toriyama's first weekly series, Dr. Slump, has entertained generations of readers in Japan since it was introduced in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1980. A few years later, he created his wildly popular Dragon Ball series, which brought him international success. Toriyama is also known for his character designs for video games, including Dragon Warrior, Chrono Trigger and Tobal No. 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Appearance of the BEST DBZ character, January 16, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 12 (Paperback)
Freeza has escaped Namek and is coming to Earth. With Goku not back from Namek yet, the Z-fighters know that things are hopeless, yet they decide to die fighting. Our heroes are in more trouble than they thought. Another power, strong like Freeza's is coming to earth. It is Freeza's father, King Cold. Will Goku come back to a planet riddled with destruction?

As the Z-fighters believe that it is truly hopeless now, a mysterious boy wearing a Capsule Corporation jacket comes from nowhere to challenge Freeza and King Cold. What is he thinking? The only way he can have a chance is by turning into a Super Saiyan, and there is no way that can happen. Whoops. Spoke too soon. Trunks has turned into a Super Saiyan. As the heroes rejoice to the defeat of the evil in the universe, it is cut short by the boy's prediction of doom. The Red Ribbon Androids want revenge against Goku for stopping the plans for world domination held by the Red Ribbon Army (see Dragon Ball 5-8).

Can three years of training be enough to stop the Androids that destroyed Trunks' timeline?

5.0 out of 5 stars #12 lives up to the name Dragonball Z, July 16, 2004
By 
jackieli (Canada! YAY!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 12 (Paperback)
This book,(like the other 11 before it) is amazing. However their is one bad thing about this book... it's the last one that I need to complete my set because after this book, all of the rest of them are in shonen jump (which I also highly recommend). So now that I have 1-12 I have decided to start reading dragonball. If Dragonball is ANYTHING like the Dragonball Z manga then it must be amazing. All there is else to say is congratulations Akira Toriyama for such an amazing creation!

5.0 out of 5 stars Akira Toriyama has done it again!, September 7, 2003
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 12 (Paperback)
In this action-packed volume of Dragonball Z, the heroes are in trouble once they find out Goku died in Namek's explosion, and Freeza is coming back to destroy all the people of Earth! Just earlier they found out Goku was alive, and headed back towards Earth, but Freeza beat him to Earth, and Freeza brought his father, King Cold, to help stamp out Super Saiyajin Goku. Chaozu, Kuririn, Yamcha and Tenshinhan were ressurected by the Namekian dragonballs, but it seemed to be in vain once they find out Freeza is stronger now than ever. But then a mysterious boy arrives and beats Freeza's men and turns super saiyajin! Who is this strange boy, and where did he come from?The answer to that and many more lies within the confines of Dragonball Z volume 12! Over all this book is interesting, well thought out, and most of all, surprising.I personally think this book is a must have for DBZ fans.
