Goku begins a new adventure, and this time the quest is to conquer thyself.

In Dragon Ball Culture Volume 3: Battle, you'll discover the origin of Goku's training mentality. You'll see how Akira Toriyama combines thousands of years of martial arts history and modern cinema together to create the Tenkaichi Budōkai. And you'll hear how Dragon Ball almost gets cancelled, but then changes its format to become the world's most recognized anime and manga series.

Travel alongside Goku as he becomes the disciple of the world's greatest martial artist, meets his new training partner, and competes in the largest tournament on Earth. Will this wild monkey boy gain the discipline he needs to become the champion?

Volume 3 explores Chapters 24 to 54 of the Dragon Ball manga. Let the battle begin

About the Author
Padula, Derek: - Derek Padula is the author of The Dao of Dragon Ball website and book series; the first to reveal the deep history, philosophy, and cultural roots of the world's #1 anime and manga. Derek's journey begins when he sees the Dragon Ball anime in 1997. His love for the series inspires him to start martial arts training in Shàolín gōngfu, tàijí-quán, qìgōng, karate, and Fǎlún Dàfǎ meditation. He earns his B.A. in East Asian Studies and a minor in Chinese from Western Michigan University. Then he studies abroad in Běijīng, China where he trains with the Buddhist Shàolín monks and a Dàoist tàijí sword master. After returning home he begins his life's work. He is now an authority on Dragon Ball and loves to share his understanding of this profound series that changes lives.
