About this book

Goku’s adventure from the best-selling classic manga Dragon Ball continues in this new series written by Akira Toriyama himself! Ever since Goku became Earth’s greatest hero and gathered the seven Dragon Balls to defeat the evil Boo, his life on Earth has grown a little dull. But new threats loom overhead, and Goku and his friends will have to defend the planet once again in this continuation of Akira Toriyama’s best-selling series, Dragon Ball! The Tournament of Power is about to begin! Warriors from all the universes gather to fight for their lives and the lives of everyone in their universes! Many fighters are eliminated almost immediately while Goku tries to garner the attention of Universe 11’s strongest fighter, Jiren. But Jiren doesn’t seem to care one bit about Goku! Will Universe 7 survive?!

Censorship history

In 2025, "Dragon Ball, Vol. 7" was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to concerns over violence and offensive language. The ban was prompted by complaints from parents and local advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that upheld the restrictions. Notably, in some districts, the book faced challenges during PTA meetings where parents expressed concerns about its suitability for children. As of now, the ban remains in effect in those districts, with ongoing discussions about its potential reinstatement.
