Good read
A good volume of a great series
It's hard to pick one volume of DBZ that stands out from the rest, but if I did, this wouldn't be one of them. And yet I'm still giving this individual volume 5 stars, because the series is just that good.

Not In Color
Everyone was talking about how vibrant the colors were but thr only things in color was the front and the back.
Still no Goku!
Man, Akira Toriyama knows how to milk the suspense, doesn’t he? Son Goku STILL hasn’t arrived on Namek yet but his training has taken him to a new height - somewhere beyond anyone’s powers. Can’t wait to see him land and take on Freeza and co. So, meanwhile: everyone’s playing silly buggers with the Dragon Balls. Freeza’s got 5 then he doesn’t. Vegeta thinks he’s got 7 but he’s got 6. Then Kuririn and Gohan swap Dragon Balls. Then Freeza has all 7! And so on. The swapping and changing was fun for a while but I’m kinda wishing we could get past it now - we have had 3 books of this! Vegeta awakens in Freeza’s infirmary, freshly healed from his wounds against Zarbon, only to take him on again in Round 2. And here’s the thing: the Saiyans get stronger after a fight they lose - they are literally the embodiment of the phrase “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”! - so Zarbon’s really in for it in this rematch! The reinforcements Freeza called for have arrived in the form of the Ginyu Force: five theatrically campy warriors who’re all supposedly the equal - even the better - of Vegeta! They’re essentially still more hurdles for Goku and co. to overcome before facing Freeza. The good news is Goku is on the brink of appearing on Namek and both Kuririn and Gohan levelled up thanks to the Grand Elder of Namek, so I think they’re gonna do alright against this bunch! I was surprised to see that in a supposedly “All Ages” book there was a very visual decapitation scene, but there we go. I guess kids these days are desensitized to that sorta thing? Even without Goku though, volume 7 has a lot of great stuff happening and you’ll find yourself unexpectedly rooting for Vegeta in some of the fights, despite his evilness! The enemy of my enemy and so on. The volume ends with Goku about to take the stage - hopefully now Toriyama won’t spend another book keeping him back to tease the readers still further!
The Battle for Namek
This book mainly focuses around gohan, Kururin, and Vegeta's search for the namekian dragonballs. As Vegeta escapes from Freezas clutches, he manages to steal all of his dragonballs. When Zarbon goes after him, Vegeta overwhelms zarbon and makes him pay for his last defeat. Later on, Gohan and kururin have to ally themselves with their former enemy Vegeta, in order to conquer a much more powerful enemy: The ginyu force. They battle the extremely powerful enemy, strating with the short and weak "Gurd" (aka Guldo). The dub may show an uneventful and quick death of this enemy, but the manga will reveal a much more surprising (not to mention greusome and funny) ending. When Vegeta fights Reacoome, he discovers he's no match, and this book ends with a kind of hopeless ending. I like this chapter of DBZ alot, and I would give it a 4, but because of one certain scene I'm sure you will all enjoy, I can't help but give it a 5.
