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.

Siamo arrivati al fatidico giorno dell'inizio dei Cell Game, dopo una lunga preparazione fatta di tensione e paure, Goku e compagni decidono di risparmiare gli ultimi giorni per rilassarsi dopo tanto allenamento.

La sfida inizia e nello stesso momento fa il suo ingresso in campo una vecchia conoscenza del mondo di Dragon Ball, ovvero Mr. Satan, che si rivelerà essere moralmente l'ultima speranza del genere umano.

Le carte sono in tavola, e finalmente Goku rivela a tutti i suoi compagni quale è la sua strategia per sconfiggere il nemico venuto dal futuro, lasciando tutti senza parole.

Kinda makes too much sense Goodreads only has Spanish and Italian versions of this volume rather than the Japanese original....

The Cell Game begins in earnest, after a few more chapters of set-up. Much of this volume covers the initial battle between Son Goku and Cell, before Goku steps aside to reveal his master plan: letting his son get his ass beat by a monster so he'll get angry enough to power up further!

****

*Vegeta: "Piccolo, if you're in a damn hurry to use the room, use it! There are other people waiting to use it, you know!" Treating the RoSaT like a toilet!
*Chi-chi: "Ya look like a delinquent!" Bleached yankii Gohan!
*Full Power Super Saiyan Goku chilling at a picnic with his family in that nice jacket!
*the Royal Army tries to attack Cell, reminding us there still is a king, who is still a dog-person! Also, the "KG" logo ("King's Guard"?) on their uniforms is the same as the resistance against Zamasu in Dragon Ball Super, which saved me having to Google what the fuck that was about (lol). Also, the king recognizes Goku and Piccolo from their tournament days, which was neat.
*Dende is brought on as the new God!
*Mr. Satan is introduced to the series, being another display of the wide gulf between the ordinary citizenry and the Z-Fighters! Son Goku and friends haven't fought in a martial arts tournament since the defeat of "Ma Junior," so Mr. Satan has had the opportunity to make a name for himself, assuming he's just fighting weaklings like Giran and Bacterian every Budokai.
*Son Gohan: "All he did was tell me to look forward to it." Goku's secret plan to psychologically abuse his son!
*Cell: "How boring! Maybe 9 days was too much of a wait." While everyone is training, Cell is standing in the center of his arena the entire time :P
*Kuririn: "We still can't bring back those who died before." A hiccup in the revival of the Dragon Balls will inadvertently allow Goku to become Super Saiyan 3 later on!
*Roshi: "I hope he doesn't make it out alive..." Everyone wishing for the obnoxious Mr. Satan to get killed by Cell! See also, Kuririn's "To tell you the truth, I was rooting for Cell for a minute."
*No. 16's ghetto Capsule Corp. logo patch covering his Red Ribbon logo!
*totally forgot Tenshinhan decided to wear a white tee to the Cell Game, as seen on the cover for Chapter 395
*mastered Super Saiyans can stay in the form while in their calm everyday state, but regain a visible aura when charging back up to Full Power
*Cell's "Holy shi..." in the translation I'm reading, when faced with Goku's point-blank Warp Kamehame-Ha
**Cell's fucked-up face as the above attack starts eroding the top half of his body!
*Cell displaying a bigger, purpler energy field move
*Bejita: "It pisses me off to say this, but I admire him. I trained as hard as I can, but I could never surpass Kakarrot. He's a genius!" Prince of COPE figuratively KNEELing before GODku!
*Goku: "He's been fighting with us since he was a little boy." I never really paid much attention to Kid Gohan earlier in the series, as he mostly existed to fill in narrative gaps between Vegeta and Goku doing cool shit, but it's definitely true he was always exposed to much stronger foes than Goku was at a similar age, especially since at this point in time Gohan is about the same age as in Goku's second World Tournament appearance.
*Goku giving a Senzu to Cell for his match against Gohan
*Gohan's craned neck in Chapter 404 forming the basis for 90% of Toyotarou's artwork in his Super manga....
*Cell: "Oh, but this fight does have a meaning! I'm having fun, while you are trying to save the earth!"
