panWasn‘t a fan of this. My least favorite part of watching/reading Bourdain‘s works are his opinions about America‘s food culture. In his graphic novel, a corporate chef and a locavore chef battle for control of the upscale dining market. But Jiro, an edo-style sushi chef, and other upholders of food traditions battle back for control of America‘s stomachs. I also never appreciate his fat shaming. That really kills me about him. #hoopla
pickThis is a book of techniques.
It only has like 29 pages of text which focuses on history of martial arts, breathing techniques and critical point of the human anatomy to bring your assailant down.
It‘s very heavy on illustrations of techniques. Originally designed as a military book it actually transcends to anyone interested in self defence and weapons training.
⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆
pick8/10:
The Ginyu Force may be five formidable warriors, but their theatrics seriously diminish the seriousness to which they should be taken. Watching Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin fight them has been interesting so far, but I can‘t wait to see Goku join them. Very soon, it‘ll be four of the most powerful warriors ever versus the might of the Ginyu Force and Frieza!
pick8/10:
This volume has a lot of preparation for the impending battle on Namek for the Dragon Balls. Frieza is preparing for a major Saiyan threat, Krillin is trying to hide one of the Dragon Balls, Goku is training in space, and Vegeta is on a massive killing spree. Definitely a lot going on, making this volume a bit hard to follow at times, but still a load of fun!
so-so6/10:
Definitely the weakest volume of Dragon Ball Z so far, but that‘s because of the lack of action and Goku present in the story! Seeing Bulma and Krillin take Gohan with them the same way they used to travel with Goku is super neat! Plus they‘ve traveled to another planet!
pick9/10:
Watching the revelations of his Saiyan heritage come to fruition for both Goku and his son Gohan were awesome, but the added help of Krillin and Yajirobe, they were finally able to hurt Vegeta enough to make the prince retreat for the first time in his life.
The Saiyan lore and its rapid expansion are already so awesome to see!
Dragon ball when freiza fight goku he call him a monkey referring to blacks and he's race
