==Blurb==
Heaven And Earth
Goku is the world's only hope—the only being on Earth capable of fighting Piccolo, the Great Demon King! But the city-demolishing battle ends with Piccolo birthing a younger, even tougher version of himself, who will return in three years time to finish the destruction wrought by his father! In search of a way to defeat the new Piccolo, Goku's gaze turns skyward—to the heavenly realm of Kami-sama, creator of the Dragon Balls, deity of the Dragon Ball world. But Piccolo and Kami-sama share a shocking secret…
===Story===
Legend says whoever gathers the seven magical "Dragon Balls" will be granted any one wish. Son Goku, a powerful martial artist, first started his adventures by searching for them. But one day, the Great Demon King Piccolo sent his minions to steal the Dragon Balls and kill the world's greatest martial artists. Soon, Kuririn, Chaozu and Yamcha are killed, and Goku was left for dead. After getting his wish, Piccolo flew to the castle of the king of the world and announced on TV that "he" was the new ruler! Tenshinhan, the world's second-strongest martial artist, went to the castle to confront Piccolo, but was no match for him. But Goku showed up just in the nick of time to challenge Piccolo to a rematch!
==Volume introduction by Akira Toriyama==
"I can hardly go out to the movies. One reason is that I'm busy working on the manga, and the other reason is my wife has to take care of our son. (I'm not the kind of guy who would go to the movies by myself and leave my wife at home with our son.) That's why lately I just rent videos watch them at home. Even when I'm really busy with work, I'll still be watching a video. My TV's always on, even late into the night."

===Main===
Info below is retrieved from Viz Media.
*Son Goku - Monkey-tailed young Goku has always been stronger than normal. His grandfather Gohan gave him the nyoibō, a magic staff and Kame-Sen'nin gave him the kinto'un, a magic flying cloud. Karin-sama gave him a magic potion, the "Super Water of the Gods", which increase his already great strength.
*Yamcha - A student of Kame-Sen'nin and Bulma's on-off boyfriend. He was seriously injured by Tenshinhan and taken to hospital.
*Bulma - A genius inventor, Bulma met Goku on her quest for the seven magical Dragon Balls.
*Lunch - A strange woman whose personality changes whenever she sneezes.
*Kuririn - Goku's former martial arts schoolmate under Kame-Sen'nin.
*Piccolo - Many years ago, the Great Demon King Piccolo rampaged across the land, until he was imprisoned in a rice cooker by the great martial artist Lord Mutaito. After being freed by Emperor Pilaf, and his cronies, he used the Dragon Balls to restore his youth and strength—and then destroyed the Dragon Balls so no one else could use them.
*Karin-sama - A cat martial arts master who dwells in the extraordinarily high Karin Tower. He helped train Kame-Sen'nin and Goku.
*Tenshinhan - A martial artist who trained under Tsuru-Sen'nin, together with his friend Chaozu. He narrowly beat Goku at the Tenka'ichi Budôkai ("Strongest Under the Heavens") tournament.
*Kame-Sen'nin (The "Turtle Hermit") - A lecherous but powerful old man martial artist master. Many years ago, he and Tsuru-Sen'nin (the "Crane Hermit") trained under Lord Mutaito. He trained Goku, Kuririn and Yamcha. Currently dead.
*Yajirobe - A tough-talking always hungry swordsman who has even worse social skills than Goku.
