Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 6 [Paperback]

Akira Toriyama (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Series: Dragon Ball Z (Viz Paperback)

After years of training and adventure, Goku has become Earth's ultimate warrior. And his son, Gohan, shows even greater promise. But the strikes are increasing as even deadlier enemies threaten the planet. More action-packed than the stories of Goku's youth, Dragon Ball Z is the ultimate science fiction martial arts manga. Get ready for action as time travellers, aliens, deities and the mighty Super Saiyans clash over the fate of the universe! On the green skies and blue plains of Planet Namek, a war rages between two equally evil forces: Emperor Freeza, who wants to use Namek's Dragon Balls to become immortal, and Vegeta, last prince of the Saiyans, who has betrayed his former master in search of the same prize. Trapped between these two mighty enemies are the peaceful Namekians, and Earth's heroes Kuririn, Gohan and Bulma! As Freeza's henchmen Dodoria and Zarbon trade blows with the ever-stronger Vegeta, the Earthlings put their own lives at risk to protect the Namekians until Son Goku's spaceship arrives. But can even Goku's new training regimen - under 20 times Earth's gravity - prepare him for what awaits on this alien world?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The runaway hit of the Cartoon Network . . . It's easy to see why Dragon Ball Z is going to be the headlining title of Shonen Jump."

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 6 (Paperback)

Just because most reviews are by kids doesn't mean this is a kiddie comic. The artwork, storyline, and violence is all a treat. Read Vols. 1-5 first, and then read this one. To read DBZ more often, read Shonen Jump magazine. For a more detailed review read my editorial for DBZ Vol. 1, "This is a masterpiece" and for you DBZ readers already, read my other review "A Piece of Brilliance in Your Hand" for Vol. 5
