A review by cagebox
Dragon Ball, Vol. 5 by Akira Toriyama

3.0

The tournament ends with a long final match in which Goku faces his first potential defeat at the hands of Master Roshi and then ventures on his own to search for the dragon balls. Here he meets the Red Ribbon Army who will be the main adversaries for the next few volumes. Goku begins the muscle tower but with his strength it doesn't seem like he is ever in any real danger. With the lackluster villains, solo adventures, and an absence of humor this volume is only average.
