Dragon Ball, Vol. 16

one of the coolest fights in dragonball, but i don't know why people say this is the last fight in dragonball, but the manga is different, there is no "dragonball z" manga because it was one manga called dragonball. Viz changed it so people wouldn't get confused.

Goku fights Piccolo in a fight for the world. Besides the world at stake, for Goku it is also a final chance to win the Strongest Under the Heavens tournament. Will he win!? This is a nice end to Dragonball before it becomes Z. The restart lack the charm and adventure this series does, although this volume feels a little punch heavy, it is nothing compared to the "beat'em up" that Dragonball Z will be.

Dragon Ball Vol. 16 marks the end of Akira Toriyama's martial arts epic, Dragon Ball. In this particular volume, Goku battles Piccolo's son Demon Jr. in one of the greatest fights in the series. It brings a tear to my eye that Dragon Ball has ended, but at least in went out fighting. The story continues in Dragon Ball Z, but the sequel is never as good as the original, and DBZ lacks the charm and originality of the original. Than you, Akira Toriyama, for bringing us this epic.

This is by far the best volume in the entire Dragon Ball series. The battle between Goku and Piccolo is awesome and action packed, and also full of suspense. Possibly the coolest chapter in the book is "The Ten Count". This is the part where Goku unleashes all his strength against Piccolo and mortally wounds him. I highly recommend it for any reader of manga, whether you like Dragon Ball or not. If you don't like it, then you will after you read this.
