Censorship history
In 2025, "Dragon Ball, Vol. 4" was banned in several school districts across the United States due to complaints regarding sexual content and violence. Notably, the ban was upheld following a heated school board vote in a district in Texas, where parents voiced concerns over the appropriateness of the material for students. The book faced challenges from local Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) and was subject to customs seizures in some states, reflecting a growing trend of scrutiny over graphic content in children's literature.
