About the author

Akira Toriyama (鳥山明) was a Japanese manga artist and character designer. He first achieved mainstream recognition for creating the popular manga series Dr. Slump, before going on to create Dragon Ball (his most famous work) and acting as a character designer for several popular video games such as the Dragon Quest series, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon. Toriyama came to be regarded as one of the most important authors in the history of manga with his works highly influential and popular, particularly Dragon Ball, which many manga artists cite as a source of inspiration.
He earned the 1981 Shogakukan Manga Award for best shōnen/shōjo manga with Dr. Slump, and it went on to sell over 35 million copies in Japan. It was adapted into a successful anime series, with a second anime created in 1997, 13 years after the manga ended.
His next series, Dragon Ball, would become one of the most popular and successful manga in the world. Having sold 260 million copies worldwide, it is one of the best-selling manga series of all time and is considered a key work in increasing manga circulation to its peak in the mid-1980s and mid-1990s. Overseas, Dragon Ball's anime adaptations have been more successful than the manga and are credited with boosting anime's popularity in the Western world. In 2019, Toriyama was decorated a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts.
In October 2024, Toriyama was inducted into the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame.

10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Para los que crecimos con Son Goku viendo sus episodios en TV3, este manga se valora desde la nostalgia y con un cariño especial. Para los que pasamos tantas tardes viendo sus aventuras aunque fuesen episodios repetidos y los que el primer nombre en japonés que aprendimos fue "Akira Toriyama". Los que no aceptamos que "Piccolo" se llame de otra manera que no sea "Satanàs cor petit", y los que levantamos las manos con Son Goku para hacer la bola "Genki". Los que nos hace volver a la infancia una sola imagen de Son Goku. Para toda esa generación este manga se valora diferente. ¡Es único!

One of the best manga stories ever.

[L · Rating 4 out of 5]

J'aime pas les ninjas et Toriyama non plus, il en ridiculise donc un dans les premiers chapitres. Malheureusement, ce n'est pas drôle et c'est le plus mauvais passage de tout le manga pour l'instant. La moitié du tome est dédié à la fermeture de l'arc de la Muscle Tower et c'est plutôt moyen.
Puis, devant retrouver Bulma pour réparer son radar, le tome s'améliore drastiquement. Déjà, on a un environnement inédit: une grande ville. Le mangaka aimant tout ce qui est mécanique, c'est très réussit. L'humour est plus réussi aussi et on en apprend plus sur Bulma, spécifiquement sur sa famille. Puis on retrouve Krilin, Lunch et Kamé Sennin (j'ai adoré la réaction de Bulma lorsque Goku lui dit qu'il faut aller le voir) pour continuer à chercher les Dragon Balls.
L'armée du Red Ribon est toujours présente et peine encore à être un adversaire à la taille des héros, d'autant plus que l'armée n'a aucune idée de leurs puissances. Elle apporte un peu de péripétie et d'humour mais elle est peu palpitante.
Avec plus de machines, le dessin s'en trouve encore amélioré et c'est vraiment joli à regarder.

Goku melanjutkan petualangan dengan mencari bola naga milik kakeknya. Namun, ia bertemu dengan anggota red ribbon army yang juga memburu bola sakti tersebut. Karena mereka jahat, Goku pun melawan mereka dengan sekuat tenaga sampai ke markas mereka yang letaknya di tempat bersalju.

Setelah selesai melawan mereka, ternyata alat untuk mendeteksi bola naga rusak sehingga Goku menemui Bulma di rumahnya. Karena rumah Bulma terletak di kota besar, Goku sempat takjub dengan keadaan di sana. Ia baru pertama kali berada di kota. Selain itu, Goku juga bertemu dengan kedua orang tua Bulma yang ternyata merupakan orang terkaya.

Bulma menyambut Goku dengan sukacita. Lantas, ketika ia selesai memperbaiki alat pendeteksi bola naga, ternyata Bulma ingin ikut Goku untuk mencari bola naga seperti dulu; tanpa ia ketahui bahwa Goku sedang menjadi buronan red ribbon army yang terkenal kejam.

I combattimenti per la liberazione del sindaco non me li ricordavo così ben costruiti, nulla viene lasciato al caso, sono veramente coinvolgenti. Chissà se Oda Eiichirō ha preso ispirazione da Sproing per il suo famoso protagonista di gomma!
Che tenerezza che mi ha fatto Bulma: credeva di tornare all'avventura con Goku, e invece si ritrova a ferro e fuoco contro il più grande esercito esistente. Ah, quanto ho riso quando quelli dalla Red Ribbon sono arrivati alla Kame House, Muten e Lunch sempre sul pezzo.

[Raül · Rating 5 out of 5]

Estem en ple arc argumental de l'exèrcit de la Cinta Vermella, on Goku s'enfrontarà a nous enemics però també farà nous amics i aliats. Cap al final del volum, tornen a aparèixer vells amics com la Bulma, el Fullet Tortuga, en Krilín i la Lunch.

Continua l'acció i la diversió, amb la manera de ser tan innocent de Sin Goku, que no para de trobar-se en situacions estranyes i còmiques.

[Tim Rooney · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Red Ribbon arc is kind of a slog, huh? Blue is an unmemorable villain. A bit more leaning on the gag manga stuff that the book has mostly grown out of. Like Toriyama is getting it out of his system.

[Gabe · Rating 3 out of 5]

Transition from the tournament to Muscle Tower was pretty seamless. But the one from Muscle Tower to all the pirate stuff has been very wobbly (and from what I remember, it never truly finds its footing). Still a fun read, but nowhere near as quality as the earlier arcs were. 3.5/5

[Zaz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pleasant volume, more childish than the previous ones, but with good interactions between Goku and others and some nice fights.

[Pata · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tiene partes muy graciosas y Goku sigue siendo entrañable, pero la Red Ribbon no me parece muy interesante. El mejor, Ocho.

[Miguel Prieto · Rating 3 out of 5]

Este ha sido menos interesante vaya

[Gabriele Marangella · Rating 5 out of 5]

Parte di storia dedicata all’avventura di cui ricordo poco e nella dalla visione del manga. Le parti con il genio delle tartarughe sono sempre super esilaranti.

The gang is back together and hunting for dragonballs. The Red Ribbon Army has caught on to their purpose and instead of using their inferior radar to locate dragonballs themselves, they realize it'd be quicker to let our friends find them, then rob them at the end. It's not a bad idea, but they're in for an unpleasant surprise. Also, there's pirate treasure.
