Episode 2: Pan Mouths Off!

Episode 2: "I'm the Star! Pan Takes Off Into Space!!"

I have to say, I'm really more of a fan of the way the English version titles the episodes. The sheer wordiness of the original titles is so strange to me.

Episode 2 starts off with a brief re-cap of the previous episode - Pilaf summons Shenron, Goku gets turned into a kid, Chi-Chi is shown crying, and Kaio informs them that the Earth will be destroyed if the ultimate Dragon Balls aren't collected within a year. That's seriously it. Fair enough, I guess those ARE the main takeaways from the previous episode.

After the re-cap, we get introduced to Trunks. He's now the president of Capsule Corp, and all the employees are fawning over him and kissing up to him. Also he wears glasses now, which is an odd look for him.

Odd looks are very much a GT thing.

Trunks is clearly not entirely content with this lifestyle, and he sneaks out of his office by flying out of a window. Nothing is more subtle than opening a draft when you're 40-stories high. Amusingly, Trunks gets changed into his traditional GT outfit while mid-flight, probably exposing himself to many on-lookers below.

Meanwhile, back at the Son family house Goku, Gohan and Chi-Chi are discussing the upcoming dragon ball hunt. We've got a pretty funny moment of Pan sassing out Goten while he's trying to organize a date over the phone.

Nobody has been so badly wrecked by a 9-year old
since Cell fought Gohan

Goten tells her a child shouldn't mouth off like that, and we're introduced to Pan's personal bugbear: being treated like a child. This will underpin the rest of the episode.

Goku re-iterates that he doesn't really want to go to space, and offers the solution of using the Dragon Balls to just move everyone to a new planet. Which is... a novel solution, if incredibly callous. I'll admit I'd never thought of that idea, but the characters decide it'd be better as a back up option

I don't like how Goku's being characterized as so apathetic so far, as I'm not sure why he has such a strong aversion to this. Goku may be selfish, but this just seems like he has no drive whatsoever.

The characters decide to have Goku's plan as a back-up so that people aren't forced to move to another planet, and Gohan offers to join Goku on his search. Chi-Chi is relieved by the idea, and when Pan hears this she says that she'll go as well. Of course, because she's a child her idea gets turned down, and she gets scolded when she tries to insist on it.

At Capsule Corp, Goku and his family see Bulma's spaceship for the first time as she mentions that it only seats three people. And we are introduced to the glory of GT Vegeta's initial design.

Gaze upon its majesty.

Pan offers to help out Gohan, who tells her to check if Videl needs help. Inside the ship, Videl tells Pan to check if Gohan needs help. Ooof. I feel you, Pan. In frustration, she kicks the the side of the ship - causing a large dent with her super strength. It's a humorous touch.

The B plot of this episode is Goku getting abducted by two kidnappers who mistake him for Trunks' illegitimate child, hoping to ransom him for five million zenis (a quarter of what 18 extorted out of Mr. Satan, for reference). They first call Bulma, who doesn't really understand the situation, and next call Vegeta, who politely tells them that they can do whatever they want with Goku. Meanwhile, Goku racks up a massive bill at a restaurant and forces them to go on rollercoasters.

It's a bit of fun.

The main focus of this episode is Pan, as the title indicates. After walking out of Capsule Corp, she goes to Mr Satan's dojo and beats up all the martial artists there, venting off steam. Satan takes her out to a cafe to talk with her about her frustrations. It's a really cute scene to see grandfather and granddaughter interact like this, with Pan explaining that she hates being treated like a kid and Satan getting her fired up with his encouragements. Also cute is Pan's reaction when she forces herself to drink black coffee to appear more like an adult.

Goku is eventually ditched by his kidnappers when he shows off his flight and super-strength (trying to help them out, of course). Back at Capsule Corp, Vegeta drags Goten and Trunks to the spaceship as he has decided they should go into space in Gohan's stead, since they've been slack in their training. It also seems like he came up with this idea mostly to screw with them, as he enjoys shooting down all of their objections.

But while Goten is trying to reschedule his date, Goku and Trunks board the ship to find Pan already on-board. Having resolved to prove to the adults that she's just as capable, she launches the ship into space, leaving Goten behind and shocking everyone. The episode ends with a part falling off the ship as it departs, leaving Bulma with a nervous expression.

And that wraps up the second episode, as well as the set-up for the first story arc! All in all, I think this does a good job of setting up its major points, establishing the team that is going into space, and showing the passage of time from the original Dragon Ball - particularly in Trunks acting as Capsule Corp's president.

The episode mostly focuses on Pan, which is fairly important given that she's a relative newcomer to the cast. Of course, seeing her characterization in the first two episodes I can easily understand why she became such a divisive character - she's mostly based off the archetype of the child protagonist that wants to prove they're just as capable of the adults who try to prevent them from being involved. I'm sure that archetype appeals to children, but many other viewers dislike it for understandable reasons - children are fucking useless.

It's a bit weird seeing this pop up in Dragon Ball of all places, because unlike reality, being a child isn't much of a detriment in the dragon world. Goku started off as a child protagonist, and Gohan had been involved in the plot since he was four years old - reluctantly at first, but by the time he was as old as Pan he had killed Cell. It's a bit weird to see Pan get such a treatment, and it would probably go a long way to making her character likable by having the characters support her desire to go off in space because they trust her, rather than her going behind their backs and making complications.

However, Pan's role in the series was mostly to get into trouble so Goku could rescue her - as mentioned in the Dragon Box release of Dragon Ball GT. So of course, they couldn't make her a capable character in her own right, as that would defeat the purpose for including her. That's also the same reason for her hot-headedness - it allows the writers to use her recklessness to create problems for Goku to solve. And in future episodes, we'll see how her character is handled with these expectations in mind.

All-in-all, this episode had a lot of good character moments - Pan and Satan, Vegeta just screwing with people, a look into Trunks and Goten's adult lives. I'd recommend this episode based on that alone.

I think it was a good decision to split the set-up over two episodes to allow room for these scenes, without dragging things out over several episodes. GT was created around the premise of the space adventure, so I think this is a good set up.

With the next episode, the space adventure begins in earnest!

Dragon Ball GT Episode 1: Mysterious Dragon Balls appear! Even more mysterious creative decisions are made!

On to the first Episode of GT "Mysterious Dragon Balls Appear! Goku turns into a Child?!"

First of, before covering the episode itself, I wanted to comment on GT's opening, Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku. The opening is pretty cool, though I don't quite get why it's so popular in the fandom. It's definitely a good song, but Cha La Head Cha La and We Gotta Power have much more fitting openings - probably doesn't help that Dan Dan is a love song with no connection to the show. At the same time, it's definitely a catchy and feel-good song. I appreciate the variety and the visuals of this opening are quite nice.

The animation is solid, and there's a really nice sequence where Goku, Trunks and Pan attack a giant robot with each doing a hit that brings it toppling down.

TOO BAD PAN'S CONTRIBUTIONS COULDN'T
BE AS EQUAL IN THE ACTUAL SHOW HUH

Anyway, the first episode starts with the Pilaf Gang approaching God's lookout as Goku and Oob fight inside. I don't know if I misremembered this or the dub just wasn't as clear, but the sub makes it clear that this is THE rematch that Goku wanted when he trained Oob. What is shown of it is pretty good, but the conclusion to the fight is off-screen as Goku and Oob return to the top of the lookout and both collapse.

Interesting thing to note is that even though Goku is only shown fighting in base form, he indicates after the fight that he fought all-out. I'd previously thought that GT just made base Goku that strong, which is supported by him going on to fight Rildo who is "even stronger than Majin Boo". But this would imply that Goku went all-out in the off-screen section of the fight and the two are evenly matched, which would make much more sense with Goku's strength in Z (yay for Oob).

Not showing Goku transform on-screen may seem odd if he really did go all-out, but I think it'd be really weird if the first episode had him whip out Super Saiyan 3 so I can understand why it was left implied rather than shown. I also think Goku not using any form of Super Saiyan in the original epilogue is done for the same reason, to keep things simpler for a short fight.

Anyway, I like the detail of Dende and Popo creating a special room to contain Goku and Oob's fight and those two destroying it anyway (along with most of the lookout). That's pretty funny, although I'm not 100% sure I buy Dende's line of  'the Earth can't handle that fight' when stronger characters fought on Earth in the Boo arc. Maybe Goku/Oob are actually stronger than that by now, but that kind of deflates the significance of the original rematch if they both far surpassed that point. It could instead be that they don't want them damaging the Earth in an unnecessary battle - even Goku vs Fat Boo was pretty destructive, so I can believe that.

The kind that will gamble the remaining 90% of the world on a good fight!

Also the dub had a stupid line here about Dende getting a first aid kit for Goku/Oob which always bugged me. Didn't realize it was dub only, that's much better.

While this is happening, the Pilaf Gang find the Black Star Dragon Balls and Pilaf explains a bit about their background - they are the ultimate Dragon Balls, created before God and Piccolo Daimao split into two. As such, they're much more powerful than the regular Dragon Balls.

I don't mind the idea of the 'Ultimate Dragon Balls' and having Piccolo's fusion with God re-activating them is a pretty clever way to bring them back into the plot - but it could do with a better explanation of how Pilaf found them. He just says it took lots of hardwork and research, but where would he even find out such details? It'd work much easier if it had just been something that Piccolo Daimao had told him, and tie in nicely with continuity with Pilaf having previously worked for Daimao.

I love how Pilaf just loudly shouts this without anyone on the lookout hearing him.

Oob thanks Goku for everything and flies home, really hammering in that the original purpose of Goku training him has been completed. I'm of two minds about this. I'm glad that they do address that with Oob and gave that resolution (as I originally believed that they just ignored it) but for something important enough to end the previous series on, I feel it warranted more emphasis and build up to the conclusion. On the other hand, GT clearly wants to establish the status quo for the rest of the series by having Goku turn into a kid and the ultimate Dragon Balls used in the first episode, so it definitely makes sense to focus on that.

Ultimately, Oob's subplot isn't as important to the series as the new elements being introduced, so I can understand why it was dealt with quickly. And, frankly, Oob wasn't really that important to the previous series as he mostly represented a new (but explicitly temporary) goal for Goku and a way to close out the series.

Another direction GT could have taken would be for Oob to start off still not having realized his full potential, and to tag along on the hunt for the ultimate Dragon Balls. I'm sure that's what a lot of fans would have wanted to see, but I'm not so sure I'd agree with that. That premise would definitely give the writers a lot to work with, but it would only work if they were able to commit to building up to Oob as the protagonist and sticking to it, lest he end up a repeat of the problems surrounding Gohan. And frankly, I don't really want Oob as the protagonist, because I don't think he has the same build up and connections of other characters coupled with his late appearance in the cast.

Resolving this in the first episode is a good way to say 'this won't be the focus of the series' so that people's expectations aren't falsely raised (even if the epilogue has understanding already raised them). For me the most important thing is how Oob is handled as a supporting character going forward.

This episode also establishes that Goku has not been home in years, due to training Oob. That's an implication I really disliked about the manga's ending. The weirdest part is that Toei actually added a line in the anime that Goku would visit his family while training Oob, which makes sense now that he has the ability to teleport. But for whatever reason GT ignores that, and I am really not a fan of that. For what it's worth, Toriyama's spin-off manga Nekomajin shows Goku still living with his family while training Oob, an interpretation I much prefer.

It also has a super-strong Cat man long before these
newfangled 'Gods of Destruction'

After leaving Dende and Popo, Goku notices the Pilaf Gang's presence and interrupts them in the middle of attempting to wish for world domination. Interestingly, in the Japanese version Pilaf doesn't say anything as direct as 'I wish you were a kid again' but just rants that he could easily deal with Goku if he were a kid again, which the ultimate Shen Long interprets as his wish. It makes Pilaf's confusion more understandable at any rate.

Goku getting turned into a kid isn't an idea I liked or thought they should've done, but I think I would've been fine with it as a temporary change to be resolved with the Black Star subplot. It just feels way too on the nose for "hey look guys we're returning to our roots, remember the good ol' days?".

Kaio contacts Goku after this from Heaven (I know GT wasn't released long after Z, but it's nice to see the continuity kept with his planet destroyed) and informs Goku that the ultimate DBs are the only thing that can return him back to normal. Popo also comments that the ultimate DBs scatter throughout the Galaxy, instead of on Earth, making them more difficult to gather. I like that they've addressed the idea of just using the regular DBs to wish Goku back to normal.

Goku doesn't really care either way so he decides to fly home. He's then seen eating a restaurant into bankruptcy while some armed robbers hold up a nearby bank. Pan then appears on-screen for the first time, as she comes across the bank robbery while on a date. Roshi's also in the area, unfortunately being the creep he usually is. Pan decides that she needs to deal with the robbery so that it doesn't interfere with her date, and springs into action. Goku also arrives at the same time, and attempts to do the same - but Pan mistakes him for a literal child and removes him from the action.

I wonder if Toei's writers knew that kid Goku was 3 years older
than Pan when Pilaf first met him.

What follows next is a pretty cool action piece of Pan taking out all of the robbers while thwarting Goku's attempts to join the action. It's a good way to introduce Pan to the series, given that she'll be part of the trio going into space. Beating up the robbers intimidates her boyfriend who makes an excuse to leave, and Pan laments being dumped. I'm 90% sure this aspect of her character isn't going to come up again.

Roshi arrives, and helps Goku and Pan recognize each other. It's somewhat cute seeing Roshi lift around Goku like he's actually a young child.

Back at Goku's house, Goku and Gohan discuss the situation Goku is in. Once again, the characters reiterate that only the ultimate DBs can restore Goku to normal. Still doesn't address my favourite solution of 'use the Earth dragon balls to wish the ultimate dragon balls back to earth' which would be nice to see ruled out as a possibility.

Kaio then contacts them again to inform them that he's discovered that the Ultimate DBs need to be gathered within one year of making a wish on them, lest the planet they were used on be destroyed. Like with Pilaf I really want to know how exactly he found that out - he just says that he 'looked into it'. Who is recording this stuff? I know it was just done to save that revelation to use as the cliffhanger, but it's still pretty weird.

With that cliffhanger, the episode ends. So we've had Oob's training be resolved, Goku turned into a kid, Pan introduced and the goal/stakes of the current arc. That's a pretty good set up for episode 1, all things considered.

The next episode will see the cast blast off into space, finishing the set up for the first arc of GT.

Saiga steps into the Grand Tour

Saiga steps into the Grand Tour: A Dragon Ball GT blog review

With the announcement of GT Kid Goku's inclusion in FighterZ, I was reminded that I had been meaning to watch the subbed version of Dragon Ball GT for a while now. I'd only seen the dub previously, and while I strongly disliked the show I decided to watch it in its original version to give the fairest assessment of it. I also thought that it would be interesting to reflect on my original feelings of GT, and examine the show with the benefit of many years of hindsight, as well as the additional context provided by recent interviews about GT's production and comparisons to be made with modern Dragon Ball.

I'd previously endeavored to write a blog while reading through the original manga, but it didn't really pan out with how busy I was and trying to tackle it one volume at a time. I thought that taking GT one episode at a time would be much more practical, and a more interesting exercise because I'm not really sure how I'll react to it this time around. I will say this much though: I don't expect that I'll like GT by the end of this.

But I'm mostly just looking forward to examining GT and talking about what has gone down, getting into what aspects of it I do or don't like, what I may have liked to have seen done and what I've heard a lot of other people would have liked to see from the series. If nothing else, it will certainly be an experience.

Without further ado... let's kick things off with episode 1!

On the topic of plot holes...

Once again, I've thought of something I should really talk about before I start my review, this time plot holes, inconsistencies and contradictions. The reason I thought I should dedicate a post to this is to avoid any confusion as to the definition of 'plot hole' I'll be using in this blog - because people have different opinions on what a plot hole is. 

I've commonly seen a plot hole defined as an inconsistency or contradiction in a story that can't be explained, which I don't agree with because fans can explain absolutely anything if they put their mind to it. I plan to do it for every plot hole I encounter even while acknowledging it as one. I'd say that if the fan has to come up with their own explanation, rather than the story providing it, there's a good chance that you've got a plot hole on your hands.

A plot hole can then be defined as a missing plot point that is needed to reconcile two previous plot points. Plot point C can't be reached from blot point A without plot point B, but plot point B is never provided by the story and a plot hole is created.

There'd be some cases where a the story doesn't provide the answer to a question that I wouldn't consider a plot hole because the story doesn't demand that the question to be answered to be able to continue - a good example of this would be Ginyu's loyalty to Freeza. It's an often asked question why Ginyu works for Freeza instead of stealing his body with his body changing ability, and the story certainly never answers this directly. But I don't think it's a plot hole because the story also doesn't give readers a concrete reason to assume that Ginyu would want to use his technique on Freeza.

Ultimately determining whether a suspected plot hole truly is one or not is going to involve some amount of subjectivity, so I don't expect everyone to agree with the conclusions I come to when I look at potential plot holes. The most important thing to me when I'm doing so is to be consistent with how I evaluate them and what conclusions I draw.

Aside from plot holes I'll also be talking about contradictions, inconsistencies and retcons. These three aren't necessarily the same as plot holes, and will usually be much clearer to identify and require a lot less subjective thought than determining plot holes. The only thing I feel I need to explain about them is what a retcon is. 

Short for retroactive continuity, a retcon is exactly that: continuity introduced retroactively into the series. However, there seems to be a significant numbers of people who believe that retcons are inherently contradictory, which doesn't have to be the case. A retcon can be introduced to a story without creating any problems with previous continuity, so calling a plot point a retcon doesn't always mean that a contradiction, inconsistency or plot hole has been created in the story because of it. Conversely, a plot point isn't automatically not a retcon because it doesn't create inconsistencies in the story. That's important to keep in mind for when I discuss any of Dragon Ball's retcons - calling something a retcon is not a criticism!

I felt it was necessary to bring these points up separately from the reading itself, to better set up how I plan on analysing these issues and to avoid spending too much time on it when I come to the first potential plot hole I wish to look at - especially since that happens as early as page 13 of chapter 1!

Arc Division

I had planned to start my review with the next instalment, but I decided it's important to talk about the arc division of the manga first. Since I'll be discussing, comparing and ranking the arcs, I think the first step should be to determine where the arcs should actually be divided. Because there are a few different ideas of how to do so.

To start with, here's the most popular division I see used by fans for the manga:

1. (The) Search/Hunt for the Dragon Balls
2. 21st Tenkaichi Budokai
3. Red Ribbon Army
4. 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai
5. Piccolo Daimao
6. 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai
7. Saiyan
8. Namek/Freeza
9. Android/Cell
10. Majin Boo

For a total of 10 arcs. It's very common, and I used this division myself for some time. But I have some problems with it that I'll get into when I discuss the next division.

Next, Shuiesha, the publisher of Weekly Shonen Jump, has two divisions: one that was used in several guidebooks, and one that was used for the digital colour release of the manga. The guidebook division is:

1. Search for the Dragon Balls
2. Training with Kame-sennin
3. 21st Tenkaichi Budokai
4. Red Ribbon Army
5. Uranai Baba
6. 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai
7. Piccolo Daimao
8. 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai
9. Saiyan
10. Freeza
11. Android
12. Cell
13. High School
14. 25th Tenkaichi Budokai
15. Majin Boo

For a total of 15 arcs. That's quite a lot. Compared to the above, I think it is unnecessary to separate Kame-sennin's training from the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arc, because the training is in preparation of the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arc, but I can understand the logic behind it. I just don't agree.

I also disagree with separating the Android and Cell arcs, because there's no real resolution to the Android arc at the time Cell shows up. Cell himself is an Android, so I don't think it should stop being considered the Android arc because he becomes the main villain. Plus the arc ends with Future Trunks returning to his timeline to save it from Androids 17, 18 and Cell.

For the Boo arc, I'm not sure. The High School and 25th Tenkaichi Budokai arcs cover different things, and Majin Boo and Babidi's posse aren't introduced at all until the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai is already underway, so it feels wrong to lump the whole thing under the Majin Boo arc to me. On the other hand, neither the High School nor the 25th Tenkaichi arc have any real climax and resolution, leading directly to the next "arc".

I do agree that the Uranai Baba arc is not part of the Red Ribbon Army arc, though. That's all resolved when Goku storms the base and defeats the entire army. Sure, they need the final Dragon Ball to revive Bora, so they're still cleaning up the fall out of the arc, but that feels too indirect to fall under "Red Ribbon Army". If they're to be considered the same arc, I think that "(The) Second Hunt/Search for the Dragon Balls" is much more fitting as the title. I know I'm not the only one who thinks that.

I also prefer Namek arc as a title than Freeza arc, because Freeza isn't active at the start and the heroes' goals were more to do with Namek than Freeza until fighting him was inevitable. I don't see a good reason to split them, so it's one arc named Namek for me.

And then there's the digital colour release division, which is:

1. Son Goku Training
2. Red Ribbon Army
3. Piccolo Daimao
4. Saiyan
5. Freeza
6. Cell
7. Majin Boo

Seven arcs total, and I have to wonder if this was done to match the number of Dragon Balls. I know that prior to this, I'd seen fans divide the series this way for exactly that reason, with one difference: the placement of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai.

Most of the time I see fans combine the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai with anything, it's with the Red Ribbon Army arc. Shuiesha combined it with the Piccolo Daimao arc, and I think that's a better idea. The 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai arc has nothing to do with the Red Ribbon Army or Uranai Baba arcs, other than it being mentioned at the end of the Uranai Baba "arc". However, the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai is immediately followed by the Piccolo Daimao arc - it ends on the same day as the Piccolo Daimao arc starts in-universe.

Still, I think that these arc combinations are too tight. It's nice that they match the number of Dragon Balls, but it's just not logical other than that. The first arc has nothing to do with Goku's training, Piccolo Junior is a separate character from Piccolo Daimao (even though he is Daimao's reincarnation) etc. They should definitely be separated further than that.

So the only two troubles I have are, first - whether to treat Red Ribbon Army and Uranai Baba as separate arcs, or combine them into one the Second Hunt/Search for the Dragon Balls arc. Combined, they do cover Goku's second search for the Dragon Balls, but they could also work as separate arcs if you consider the search for the Dragon Balls less important than the other events that are happening. I'm not sure that I would.

Second - whether to consider the High School/25th Budokai (and the training leading up to it) as separate arcs from the Boo arc. This one is really hard for me. I feel I'm contradicting my own logic whether I separate them or not. I might end up coming up for my own name for the pre-Kaioshin stuff and just calling it the "Gohan & Videl" arc since everything before the Budokai mainly focuses on those two.

I'll cross those bridges when I get to them! Plus, there's some inconsistency as to what chapters start and end each arc, so I'll cover those as I get to them rather than in here. Next instalment, I cover volume 1 plot holes. And then maybe, hopefully I'll cover volume 1.

Dragon Ball reading: Introduction

Welcome to my blog, where I'll be doing a casual review of the Dragon Ball manga and reading the entire series for the first time. Well, I've read everything but some parts of the Namek and Android arcs, but not all in order!

Anyway, one of the reasons I'm doing this (other than just plain wanting to read it all) is because I'm interested in pinning down my preferences for each of the arcs and exploring what it is that makes me love Dragon Ball. Another is that I am one of those fans who creates their own Battle Power lists, and I want to tweak mine and make sure I'm happy with its accuracy, though I probably won't be covering that in my review. Unless people are interested in that, but I'm assuming not.

And finally, I'm rather interested in looking at the plot holes present in the manga. There's quite a few, and I plan to divide them up by arc to see what the spread of them is like. I want to identify the potential plot holes, determine whether they are genuine inconsistencies or contradictions, and offer explanations that could fit (mostly to satisfy my OCD tendencies). I will also cover some points that are widely considered to be plot holes, but... aren't.

That won't be the main focus of the reading, however. Each entry will cover one volume of the manga, and I'll mainly be talking about what I liked about each volume, what I didn't, and do the same at the end of each arc. Each arc I finish will be compared to the ones before it, so that when I've finished the manga I'll have a list of best to worst story arcs. This is very similar to MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection series however a key difference is that I will not number the arcs as I go along - because I honestly do not know what the order will be until I reach the end, and as such can't number them in advance. If you're interested in this blog, then you'll likely be interested in his series as well, so I recommend you check that out.

By the way, I'm going to be using manga names for everything. I won't be using the Funimation dub names like Tien, Krillin, Special Beam Cannon and the like, nor Viz's name changes like Pocus, Djinn, and Vegerot (except for 'Android' and 'Kakarot' which I'll explain later). Just a heads up if that's going to bother you.

With that said, I'm going to bed! And then tomorrow months later I will make my first third entry, on Dragon Ball volume 1: I don't know the title of volume 1.
