Dragon Ball, Vol. 5: The Red Ribbon Army
In the final round of the "Strongest under the Heavens" martial arts competition, it's down to Goku vs. Jackie Chun, the mysterious old man who's as powerful as Kame-Sen'nin himself! Will the audience survive the confrontation? After the smoke clears, Goku jumps on his flying cloud and returns to his quest to find the seven Dragon Balls, but now he's not the only one looking for them. The evil Red Ribbon Army wants the Dragon Balls for themselves, and to stop their plans, Goku must go around the world—and survive the six deadly floors of Colonel White's fortress, Muscle Tower!

About the author
Akira Toriyama
2,027 books1,563 followersAkira Toriyama is a widely known and acclaimed Japanese manga artist known mostly for his creation of Dragon Ball in 1984. It is difficult to pin point the source of Toriyama's artwork inspiration. He admires Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy and was impressed by Walt Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians, which he remembers for the great art. Jackie Chan's early movies had a noticeable influence on Toriyama's stories. (from Wikipedia)

I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to get to Dragon Ball because it’s so damn good! Seriously, I just want to have all 42 volumes with me right now so I can just read this and nothing else until I’ve finished!
Volume 5 rounds out the Strongest Under the Heavens tournament with Son Goku squaring off against Jackie Chun (Master Roshi in disguise) in the final, and it might be the best superhero fight I’ve ever read in comics. It’s so unpredictable, it’s like Akira Toriyama didn’t know himself who he was going to let win! One minute Goku’s winning, then it’s Chun, then THIS happens, then THAT happens, and it’s this whirlwind of energy and tension, and before you know it, half the book’s gone!
Even at half a book’s length, the fight doesn’t feel overlong because so much happens in it. It’s an epic fight between master and disciple, especially given how Goku’s abilities keep getting more and more unpredictably powerful.
The second half sees Goku leaving the rest of the cast behind to go on a new adventure. With Goku clearly having learned all he can from Master Roshi, he and Kinto’un (his magic flying cloud) head off to once more find Dragon Balls. His search takes him to snowier climes and into the path of the Red Ribbon Army who’re also after the Dragon Balls. They’ve enlisted the help of a nearby town’s men, against their will, and it’s up to Goku to liberate them and grab his grandpa’s Dragon Ball too.
Looking at the way the stories are structured - Goku fights one opponent after another after another etc. - they should be much less interesting to read than they are, and yet the colourful world, inventive characters, and brilliant execution of the action makes them utterly irresistible reads. And they’re very light-hearted which adds to its charm too - that final sequence with the dumb ninja trying to outwit Goku was hilarious!
I would recommend this series to all comics readers, not just manga fans, as these are truly outstanding books. This series has been excellent so far and this book is awesome too - Toriyama is killing it with the art and the writing. I’m totally gutted that I don’t have the next few volumes to hand because I would devour them if I did! Gotta catch ‘em all, Dragon Balls and the books alike!

The first tournament hath ended. There is the recurring problem of Goku being too overpowered, which was an issue in the very beginning of Dragon Ball, but it was nice to see who won in the end (I won't say spoilers).
And after that story concludes, comes the first semi-serious villains of the series: The Red Ribbon Army. They aren't the most intimidating villains especially at first--I prefer when some cosmic character can fight Goku one on one and has the power to destroy the world--still, it was nice to see Toriyama try something different as the manga shifted from comedy to more adventure.
Goku even fights an android, which fans of a certain latter DBZ saga will see as sort of a prelude. Personally, I don't like when superpowered heroes fight technology. It's like when Superman fights robots, never feels like there are any real stakes and just an excuse for easy explosions.
At least there are actually Dragon Balls in this story, as the title suggests there should be.

Ah, I'm really loving this series.
The finale of the battle definitely dragged on a bit but I didn't hugely mind it; it was still hilarious.
I like that we're finally over the tournament and Goku is getting out into the world again. In this volume he meets the Red Ribbon Army, and the two fight over dragon balls. So we're looking at more hilarious showdowns but the humour really carries the story along at a great pace.
Nice lil cliffhanger here so keen to move onto the next one.

An excellent finale to the tournament with a slightly stretched focus on the last battle as well as an introduction to the Red Ribbon Army that leads our little protagonist into a snowy context where a multi-level battle tower awaits him to test his skills and push his limits.

This wraps up the tournament with an epic show down between Goku and Jackie Chun. I thought it would just go on forever. Even after Chun destroys the Moon to revert Goku back to human form the battle just keeps going!
After the tournament Goku decides to head off on his own in search of his Grandfather’s Dragon Ball. He ends up in the northern parts of the world in battle with the Red Ribbon group - who are also looking for Dragon Balls. It feels a bit like Soviet Era Russia.
Very fun stuff. Can’t wait to see more epic battles.

So inventive and funny! I loved the final fight of Tenka'ichi Budokai and the conclusion to this arc was absolutely spot on, very sweet and fun.
Sure, some jokes might not have aged that well, but even Master Roshi is less of a pervert in this one, and actually shows some outstanding cuddly bear qualities (blasting the Moon instead of Goku - that was perfect!) Goku is a wonderfully, enthusiastically destructive innocence incarnated, and his paper-scissors-rock fighting technique was just awesome.
I wasn't that sold on another Dragon Ball quest, but the "Muscle Tower" pays inventive homage to the concept, and especially the meeting with ninja was cool.
I want Kinto'un back!

Due to previously-mentioned issues with nudity and dirty jokes, Dragon Ball was pulled out of Finnish publication after fourth volume, and this fifth one only came out a whole year later... pretty heavily censored with clumsy speech bubbles and sound effects over naughty bits, and in one instance in (I think) volume seven, a pretty bad-looking zoom to cover the lower portion of a panel. I thought it was ridiculous even then.
But I enjoyed the return of Dragon Ball nonetheless. I loved the conclusion to the martial arts tournament - although in retrospect, I feel like it got a bit too close and that maybe Goku could have lost more clearly in the end. On the other hand, it's nice to see Goku adventuring again after this, beat up some lowly Red Ribbon mooks, and even after all these years Murasaki still makes me laugh.
It really picks up from here.

I fucking hate the Red Ribbon Army and their bullshit
September 4, 2022
The tournament is finally over and the quest for dragon balls resumes once again. This particular volume introduces the eponymous criminal organisation, clichéd and dull, but the humor and action keeps the series going.
May 9, 2022
The explosive end to the tournament arc and the introduction of some new characters and the start of a new adventure for Goku! I will have to say, I’m invested, but not like addicted to this series yet. But it is very fun! Makes me feel like a kid while I’m reading it.

Dragonball Vol 5 The Red Ribbon Army
Now the competition is over. Son Goku is on his way to find the dragon balls. The first one is at a territory occupied by the Red Army.
Son Goku has not seen any snow before and is not ready for the cold weather. He was saved by a nice family and had to fight off the Red Army when they tried to harm the family.
This is more interesting as it puts Goku in a different environment. Goku was only 12 at this time and his understanding of the world is very limited.

The tournament wraps up satisfactorily and then Goku leaves the team to go search for his grandfather's dragon ball. It was good to see him leave the team and go out on his own. Of course he encounters bad people looking for dragon balls for nefarious reasons. Along the way he has a couple of fun fights, the best of which is his fight with the funny ninja on the fourth floor of the tower. Super creative and entertaining. Another excellent volume.

Goku and Master Roshi' s fight intensifies to new heights but a winner is finally declared. Afterwards Goku sets off on a new journey to re find his grandpa's Dragon Ball!!

Goku go to the snow country then he fight against a Ninja. The ninja is strong but a little stupid. It’s so funny to read. Battle in Dragon Ball is serious but sometime joke. I think the reason why DB is popular for many people.

I really enjoyed this one. The tournament was wrapped up in a nice ending and demonstrated how powerful these characters are. The next arc started and it helps expand the world and goes back to the roots of hunting for dragon balls

A great entertaining graphic manga about son goku and his friends. This book is for 12 and up I think.

Goku is an eccentric monkey-tailed boy with superhuman strength and boundless energy. His life of peaceful solitude is interrupted one day when he meets Bulma, a feisty young lady on the hunt for mysterious wish-granting orbs known as Dragon Balls. Accompanied by a group of zany companions, the two team up on a grand adventure full of all kinds of intense battles, dangerous villains and whacky hijinks.
Now this was a blast of nostalgia! Dragon Ball was the first anime I ever watched as a dorky little toddler. I remember watching it every week with my big brother. I watched the reruns multiple times and owned all the Budokai and Tenkaichi fighting games. I developed a bit of an unhealthy obsession with Dragon Ball Z throughout my middle school years. While I don't like the series nearly as much as I once did, I'm very thankful toward this series for introducing me to the wonderful world of anime and manga. After Dragon Ball, I watched Ghibli, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket and dozens of others. I then went on to discover some of my all time favorite series like Berserk, Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Gantz, Battle Royale, Attack on Titan, Vagabond, Blade of the Immortal, Parasyte, Goodnight Punpun and more. Dragon Ball made me a fan of this medium and it felt great to re-experience the series from beginning to end for the first time in twenty years.
The story and characters are simple, but the series is easy to read, hilarious and wholesome in spite of the constant action. The series starts off as a raunchy, self-aware slapstick comedy full of fourth-wall breaking, sexual innuendos and surprisingly dirty jokes. This series was definitely edgy for its time considering it was geared towards a young audience. A lot of the perverted humor and gag comedy wouldn't fly too well with modern sensibilities, but it can be pretty funny for people who don't get offended easily and can handle some outdated mannerisms and attitudes from the past.
While the series does start off as a comedy gag reel, it slowly develops into a more serious streamlined plot with better written characters and villains. The story never really blooms into anything worth writing home about, but it remains consistently entertaining and fun to read. The interactions between Goku and his pals is always funny, even the way he plays around with his enemies is comical. If I remember as well as I think I do, I believe the maturity of the story and characters improve much more in the sequel series which I'll eventually get around to reviewing at some point. The original Dragon Ball ends on a great battle sequence that sets up the more serious tone of Dragon Ball Z.
My only major complaint about the overall story is the Dragon Balls make things way too convenient and removes the stakes and consequences of literally everything. If a major character dies they can just be wished back. This removes any sense of drama or tension from the battles and the consequences of the villains actions becomes moot. The series doesn't take itself too seriously and often pokes fun at itself, but the way the Dragon Balls are utilized are just a little too much in my opinion. Even comedies need a certain amount of suspension and stakes to make me care about what's going on.

Dragon Ball made me a fan of this medium and it felt great to re-experience the series from beginning to end for the first time in twenty years.
The story and characters are simple, but the series is easy to read, hilarious and wholesome in spite of the constant action. The series starts off as a raunchy, self-aware slapstick comedy full of fourth-wall breaking, sexual innuendos and surprisingly dirty jokes. This series was definitely edgy for its time considering it was geared towards a young audience. A lot of the perverted humor and gag comedy wouldn't fly too well with modern sensibilities, but it can be pretty funny for people who don't get offended easily and can handle some outdated mannerisms and attitudes from the past.
While the series does start off as a comedy gag reel, it slowly develops into a more serious streamlined plot with better written characters and villains. The story never really blooms into anything worth writing home about, but it remains consistently entertaining and fun to read. The interactions between Goku and his pals is always funny, even the way he plays around with his enemies is comical. If I remember as well as I think I do, I believe the maturity of the story and characters improve much more in the sequel series which I'll eventually get around to reviewing at some point. The original Dragon Ball ends on a great battle sequence that sets up the more serious tone of Dragon Ball Z.
My only major complaint about the overall story is the Dragon Balls make things way too convenient and removes the stakes and consequences of literally everything. If a major character dies they can just be wished back. This removes any sense of drama or tension from the battles and the consequences of the villains actions becomes moot. The series doesn't take itself too seriously and often pokes fun at itself, but the way the Dragon Balls are utilized are just a little too much in my opinion. Even comedies need a certain amount of suspension and stakes to make me care about what's going on.

Son-Goku hat es geschafft und kämpft im Finale des großen Turniers gegen den legendären Kämpfer Jackie Chun. Während die beiden versuchen sich gegenseitig K.O. zu setzen, holt Jackie Chun einen Trumpf nach dem anderen aus seinem Repertoire hervor. Doch Son-Goku scheint ihm immer wieder überlegen. Als Jackie Chun Son-Goku fest im Griff hat, erblickt dieser den Mond und verwandelt sich wieder in einen Weraffen, der alles ohne Sinn und Verstand zerstört. Jackie schafft es Son-Goku in seine normale Gestalt zurück zu holen und besiegt ihn schließlich. Nach dem Kampf ist für Son-Goku klar, dass er sich auf die Reise begeben wird, um den Dragonball mit den vier Sternen zu suchen. Schließlich sieht er darin seinen Großvater. doch Son-Goku ist nicht der Einzige, der sich auf die Suche nach den Dragonballs gemacht hat. Die Red Ribbon Armee ist ebenfalls an den Dragon Balls interessiert und geht dafür sogar über Leichen...
Wieder einmal hat Akira Toriyama ein wahrhaftes Meisterwerk aus seiner Feder gezaubert. Gewohnt vielschichtig geben sich die unterschiedlichen Charaktere mit jeder Menge Details. Alles ist logisch durchdacht und man muss sich fragen, wo Toriyama die ganzen Ideen her nimmt. Son-Goku hat das Turnier nicht gewonnen, zieht aber eine Lehre aus der ganzen Sache: nämlich, dass er im nächsten Jahr wieder kommen wird, um Jackie Chun zu besiegen. Er reist mit Jindujun durch die Welt und trifft eher durch Zufall auf die Red Ribbon Armee, denen er ordentlich einheizt. Die ersten Szenen versprechen, dass die Geschichte um den kleinen Kerl und die Dragon Balls wieder sehr interessant wird.
Empfehlen möchte ich den Manga allen, die gern Comics lesen oder schon die Serie gemocht haben. Hier kommt ihr auf jeden Fall noch einmal auf eure Kosten. Dragon Ball ist ein absoluter Klassiker, der in keinem Mangaregal fehlen darf!

The Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament comes to a close! After Jackie Chun blasts the moon out of the sky, Son Goku returns to his normal human-ish body and is able to complete the tournament. Jackie uses his wiles and physics to beat Goku although admits the match was close. Kuririn and Goku are both eager to continue training with the Invicible Master but he declares there's nothing more he can teach them, instead they must go out and find their own adventure. Kuririn decides to hang out at Kame's place for awhile but Goku ventures out to find his Grampa's old dragon ball, alone. He ends up in a remote village in the mountains and learns about a mysterious group called the Red Ribbon Army...and they want the dragon balls too.
I liked the closure to the arc, the deviation from the silliness was refreshing, but if the manga follows the anime I know there's more to come in the following arc. The Tournament arc was a nice break to the heavy lore of the opening arc and I know the Red Ribbon arc is very story driven. So the manga is trucking along at a decent enough pace. I'm excited to see the new faces I know are coming up!

This volume was so GOOD! Like we pick up with the fight between Goku and Jackie and its epic and has been going on for long and like they try to up man each other but its ineffective and then full moon comes up and Goku becomes an ape and Jackie has to deal with that, despite it when things seem to be back to normal, they have to fight and Goku manages to upman him for once, but they both fell and ultimately JACKIE aka Roshi-sama wins as it was imp for him to teach his student there are stronger guys than him and continue training. Then we have them eating dinner and then they say farewell which was emotional, and Goku goes on the next adventure on finding the dragon ball and he does and its so good. And there he meets the Red ribbon army and first he has to white Silver, General White, Sergeant Metallic whose actually a robot and that fight is hilarious, and then ultimately that Ninja and its full of laughter moments, fights are funny but you see how powerful Goku really is. Overall a really nice volume and full of good moments and the art just keeps getting better and better!

The final fight of the Tenkaichi Budokai is electrifying and hilarious, never relenting with the twists, special moves and absolutely insane action I expected. It’s a great end to a great arc, and it thoroughly satisfied me.
That said, there’s also a whole other part of this book where Goku fights a robot for a Dragon Ball to save the mayor because a girl saved him and then told him about the mayor so he has to save him, and then he fights a ninja and- It’s just a bit much, and a bit too little at the same time. The momentum of the plot is now gone because Goku isn’t really doing this for any reason. The comedy isn’t as present, so it’s less entertaining, and when they bring it back it feels jarring. Something about this new arc doesn’t quite work, and the feeling sticks into the next volume.
That being said, I still really enjoyed this, and it’s great for the final fight alone.

Another excellent volume. I am always in awe of the clarity in artistic expression in this series. The understanding of line, form and movement is extraordinary. And the art style is so effortlessly original, with all different cultural designs melded into a this rounded-edge retro-future aesthetic. If I could design something half as clean, I’d be over the moon. As for the story, I loved the tournament arc, and then was excited to see the quest for the Dragon Balls pick back up. Interesting choice to have Goku go it alone too- presumably to introduce even more new characters. As usual, I really can’t wait for the next one.
もう一冊のめっちゃ楽しいや面白い話。アートスタイルはすごく綺麗ラインやフォームがある。キャラクターの動くこととポーズがいつもとてもいい。武道会の部分が楽しかったけど再冒険も楽しみしていた。新しいレッドリボン軍が面白い敵です
[Note: This review is for the 4th Kanzenban volume, which isn’t listed on Goodreads, but roughly aligns with this fifth manga volume]

The Red Ribbon Army book, Vol.5, written by Akira Toriyama, did an amazing job at writing this volume. It had lots of action and had some humor. I think that it was an amazing manga. Vol.5 is about Goku attempting to find the 4 star dragon ball, which his grandfather had given to him. But, Goku has to go through many intense obstacles which will prove his bravery and worship for his grandfather. There is an army that are also trying to obtain all the dragon balls to summon Shenron (A dragon that grants wishes of any command) to make an evil plan. But who will get all the dragon balls first, Goku or the Red Ribbon Army?
