The first Budokai Tenkaichi is a lot of fun. Jackie Chun is such a bad disguise. As the prototypical tournament arc, it sets the pace and mood to a lighthearted romp that still challenges the characters.

My only problem with this volume is the same problem that most of the volumes have: a bunch of chapters are stuck together and where the plot begins and ends is wildly arbitrary. But, like, I bought the whole box set, it's not that big of a deal for me, it just leaves the volume by volume breakdown a little weird.
