Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 12

Freeza has escaped Namek and is coming to Earth. With Goku not back from Namek yet, the Z-fighters know that things are hopeless, yet they decide to die fighting. Our heroes are in more trouble than they thought. Another power, strong like Freeza's is coming to earth. It is Freeza's father, King Cold. Will Goku come back to a planet riddled with destruction? As the Z-fighters believe that it is truly hopeless now, a mysterious boy wearing a Capsule Corporation jacket comes from nowhere to challenge Freeza and King Cold. What is he thinking? The only way he can have a chance is by turning into a Super Saiyan, and there is no way that can happen. Whoops. Spoke too soon. Trunks has turned into a Super Saiyan. As the heroes rejoice to the defeat of the evil in the universe, it is cut short by the boy's prediction of doom. The Red Ribbon Androids want revenge against Goku for stopping the plans for world domination held by the Red Ribbon Army (see Dragon Ball 5-8). Can three years of training be enough to stop the Androids that destroyed Trunks' timeline?

This book,(like the other 11 before it) is amazing. However their is one bad thing about this book... it's the last one that I need to complete my set because after this book, all of the rest of them are in shonen jump (which I also highly recommend). So now that I have 1-12 I have decided to start reading dragonball. If Dragonball is ANYTHING like the Dragonball Z manga then it must be amazing. All there is else to say is congratulations Akira Toriyama for such an amazing creation!

This might be my favorite DBZ manga yet since Trunks is my favorite character. It starts when Freiza's gets cut in half and Goku nearly escapes Planet Nameks distruction. After that Frezia appears with King Cold. Just in time Trunks shows up and destroys Freiza and his father. Goku comes back and Trunks tells him that he came from the future and about the androids. Read it! The manga is much better than the TV show.

Mirai no Trunks, or Future Trunks, shows up in the new DBZ volume, making the coolest character debut in any anime or manga in existence! The Frieza saga finally ends, and the Androids/Cell saga begin with this volume, as Trunks gives Goku a warning of danger(ps, that's also the title of a DBZ song). So, the Z-senshi, including Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Chaozu, who all come back from the dead in this volume, train for three years. What will they face?! Will the training be enough? Find out, as the sequel to the original DB Red Ribbon Army story begins!

In this action-packed volume of Dragonball Z, the heroes are in trouble once they find out Goku died in Namek's explosion, and Freeza is coming back to destroy all the people of Earth! Just earlier they found out Goku was alive, and headed back towards Earth, but Freeza beat him to Earth, and Freeza brought his father, King Cold, to help stamp out Super Saiyajin Goku. Chaozu, Kuririn, Yamcha and Tenshinhan were ressurected by the Namekian dragonballs, but it seemed to be in vain once they find out Freeza is stronger now than ever. But then a mysterious boy arrives and beats Freeza's men and turns super saiyajin! Who is this strange boy, and where did he come from?The answer to that and many more lies within the confines of Dragonball Z volume 12! Over all this book is interesting, well thought out, and most of all, surprising.I personally think this book is a must have for DBZ fans.
