Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 10

I had misplaced this issue. Maybe it’s at my ex’s house. Maybe I left it in an air B&B. It could’ve ripped through the fabric of space and time. No telling. Anyway, I love this series and usually bring one to read on planes because they’re a fast enough read I can kill the whole book in no time. Was a little worried because my older copy was maybe 15 years older and I wanted it to match my set. No worries there. Exact translation and identical to my list book. Side note: the reason I was looking for this volume and subsequently realized it was missing was an argument I was trying to prove regarding king piccolo. I saw a discussion where people wanted orange piccolo to lay eggs and make offspring to fight for him. My argument was that while “king” piccolo was a mystic type namekian, when goku killed him and he copied himself into a clone, he changed his type to warrior so he would have a higher battle power and a better chance against the now stronger Goku. It’s in book 10 that dende tells piccolo he can’t heal people because he’s a “warrior type”. No one knew what I was talking about so I had to get my source material back to prove my point😂

The book came in great condition and I was happy to see that it was not bent. I bought this volume wit the 11th volume so maybe they made the packaging a bit more sturdy. The volume itself is a great dbz volume, and dbz is just always great in general.

Its amazing just a little Expensive and short so instead of that it is really good I recommend getting it

Grandson loves it!!!

Great book for my 16 year old, good condition.

This was a gift for an unknown child

Black and white content and picture are not attractive for kids to read

I'll dibble dabble again.

With the Ginyu Force out of the way, there are no more distractions left. Now it’s finally time for Freeza to step up and fight our heroes! But Freeza is unlike any villain seen in the series so far and even the recently reincarnated and heavily powered-up Piccolo struggles to keep him at bay. Then, just as it looks like Son Gohan has the upper hand against him, Freeza reveals his secret power of transformation – and with each of the four forms he takes, his powers increase still further. Vegeta’s still convinced that he’s the legendary Super Saiyan and tries to level up using the Namekian Dende’s healing powers. Because Saiyans only get stronger if they survive near-death battles, if he lets Kuririn kills him and Dende brings him back, he’ll be even stronger and could be Freeza’s equal. But even Vegeta is unable to defeat the monster, leaving it to the one and only Son Goku to stop him. Akira Toriyama finally brought Goku into the story just a couple books ago for some brief scenes before abruptly taking him out of the picture again, so this is Goku’s second major entrance in this storyline. This time around though it’s a more satisfying appearance with Freeza on the ropes for a change as Goku’s new powers surprise even him in their effectiveness. Elsewhere, another major character dies but, given the regularity with which the characters die and come back to life, these scenes have lost their impact now. But I’m still as impressed as ever with Toriyama’s artwork. The way he can convey action and speed in such an astoundingly convincing way is extraordinary, especially as the fight between Goku and Freeza is basically that of gods battling. The fluidity of the storytelling thanks to Toriyama’s streamlined writing and art makes it seem like you’re not reading at all but rather watching a movie unfold. Volume 10 keeps up the excitement and tension of this engaging storyline. Looking forward to the inevitable first appearance of Goku as the Super Saiyan!

Downloaded Kindle version, so have it and others in series wherever I go! This is definitely the defining saga of the entire DBZ series.

It is a great book with an awesome story. I give it a 3 stars because my package has arrived late ( more then a week )
