A review by vimcenzo
Dragon Ball (3-In-1 Edition), Vol. 9, Volume 9: Includes Vols. 25, 26 & 27 by Akira Toriyama
4.0
This left on such a cliffhanger that I moved to the next book immediately before writing this review, I needed the resolution that badly.
From the word “go,” the ensuing character deaths, the high stakes of those who survive, and the development of Son Goku as he obsessively pursues perfection in combat is unmatchable. The crackerjack timing that’s required of so many small plans to be pulled off all in the wake of the insanely destructive battle against Freeza is terrifying and the paves fly by as you’re desperate to find out if everyone makes it out okay. This might be the best in the series even if I prefer the relatively comfier stories in the Dragonball-not-Z saga. I won’t deny this was exciting.
Thank God I didn’t like DBZ as a kid. If I got to that cliffhanger as a kid, I would have torn my own hair out waiting or begging for the next book.
This might be a five but I don’t want to suggest the series peaks here. Hopefully it can still surprise me, or I might consider earlier volumes more deserving retroactively.
