Dragon Ball, Vol. 3 (Volume 3): The Training of Kame-Sen'nin

First of all, I love the Dragon Ball Universe with all of my heart. I have played all the games, watched all the movies, watched all the anime, read all the manga, and I still want more! :)I thought it would be great to re-buy all of the original DB manga; and check out the good old days of the Z fighters' early development - and life. And boy, was I shocked! The comedy, humor and action is out of this world.This volume is about the Budokai Tenkaichi, with Muten-Roshi facing off against Goku! :)Must purchase for die-hard Dragon Ball fans like myself..

Great product just a bit damged

Good price good quality, brillent to collect for any dragonball universe fan.

Fun, innovative stories.

This is great

Son Goku is training with Mr Super Perv, the old Turtle Master, Kame-Sen'in, to become the ultimate fighter. A new student, Kuririn, joins them as the group trains to enter the Tenka'ichi Budokai, the "Strongest Under the Heavens" fighting contest. Also, Lunch is introduced.Who's Lunch? This braindead woman who changes from Jekyll to Hyde when she sneezes and is essentially a bimbo. I wonder how long it took Akira Toriyama to think up the names of these characters - Lunch?! What, it took him a microsecond to come up with that? And why does she go along with everything like, oh being abducted and taken to an island and made to wear lingerie and cook - doesn't she have a life/character of her own?Kame-Sen'in's lechery is getting really annoying - I'm sure it's supposed to be funny but I kinda hate the character at this point.Other than that, it's another great volume in the series. The training sequences are pretty fun as Goku and Kuririn go from rivals to besties, and it pays off when they reach the Strongest Under the Heavens tournament and we see these two tiny kids beat the crap out of giant opponents! Plus we see them put on the classic orange outfits for the first time (though the comic is in black and white, you've probably see colour versions of the characters elsewhere).With Yamcha, Bulma, Pu'ar and Oolong showing up to watch, the series is really filling out with an interesting cast. And I love the craziness of this world where T-Rexs chase Goku and Kuririn on their milk rounds and houses come in capsules!The book ends just after the first fight of the tournament with Son Goku yet to spar, and probably win, so make sure you've got the next couple books to hand so you can jump right into the action without having to wait! Dragon Ball Vol 3 has a few bits here and there I didn't like with Kame-Sen'in and Lunch but it's still a fantastic book that fans of the series will devour in no time!

mostly a bunch of training montages. This however all leads up to the, Strongest of the Heavens tournament. Things should start picking up soon!!

Can never put them down, better than the program & always funny. Beautiful illustrations a witty comments. The best read you'll find in a manga. You'll have to buy them all!
