Dragonball Z Books

I'm Matthew Low, better known on both Pojo.com as the person who techs decks and stuff like that. I wrote one of the articles in this neat book; the Videl deck, dedicated to my sister.
This is one of the best things you can get if you want some tips starting out. Of course all card game books get outdated from time to time, but this one is all you need to catch up to right before Buu Saga. People like the almighty IQ and accomplished veterans like Zeller, Williams, and Fashbinder give their ideas. Most of the people included in this book (not all) are of the greatest there are in the game; take their advice.
It helps the person wanting to start out with a bunch of nothing, like the Cheap decks, to the tournament level ones like Richie's outdated Cell Namekian. More or less the decks are still good for the most part; make sure you swing by dbzcardgame.com and find any changes that have sprung up in the last few months.
If anything, read the articles. They are by far the most useful things you can read to help you in this game. The decks will get you started. After all, this is a beginner's book. If you are ready to go to the advanced/expert level, feel free to email me (go find my address in my article ^_^) for a deck tech or some tips.
So... I say get this book, especially if you need some help in the game of DBZCCG. It has a wealth of information you won't find ANYWHERE else. Get this. I said so.

It's about time someone created a book about the DBZ Card Game. This game has been around for years, and there's not too many places to get information.

This book is perfect for newbies, and people that are trying to get better. I think you World Champion type guys will enjoy it too, as you finally can read about your sport. ;-)

This book has History, Killer Decks, Top 10 Lists and more. My favorite part is the Top 20 Most Collectible Cards, as I like to collect the rare ones.

There's 96 pages ... and all of them are fun to read! Pick in up!

This is a great work of art and is very entertaining! I recommend it to any DBZ fan!

This book, or shouldI say manga, is about movie 9 in the DBZ series. It is in the time period right after the cell saga. It is about a turnimate where the Z worriors fight each other to see who the would champion is. Whoever wins out of the semi final rounds gets to fight Mr. Satan (or Hercual for you american watchers) for teh world championship. However strange aliens enter the compitision in hopes of concoring the world but I think the Z worriors are gonna let that happen. If you like Gohan buy it, and if you can read Japanese it's a plus.

I have read this book and it is awsome. From the descriptive pictures and words to the plot. You might not be able to read the tiltle but it is awsome. The reason i am repeating awsome is because that is what the book is. I fist got interested by the books and now am continuing onto videos. So i would highly reccomend this book to you.

Pojo's first book, "Total Dragon Ball Z" was simply the best informational DBZ Book on the market ..... until now!

Their first book came out in 2000. Three years later they have followed it up with another great informational book. This book has detailed bios for over 500 characters that appear in DB, DBZ and Dragon Ball Gt! About 50 pages of this book are the bios, and most of the characters have good images.

Other cool stuff includes:

Complete Dragon Ball GT Episode Guide, with summaries of all the GT episodes.

Complete DB Movie Guide, with summaries of all the DB/Z/GT movies.

They also complete the DBZ episode guide that they started in their first book. The first book stopped at like episode 125. This one picks up from their, and has summaries of all the episodes through the end of Dragon Ball Z.

There's also a cool Dragon Ball Z Toy Collectors Guide ... showing cool stuff from the U.S. and Japan.

The book has a lot more stuff too. If you are a DBZ fan, I can't think of a better book for the price!!!

Having missed most of the tv show, i decided to read the Dragonball manga.
I had a very claer understanding of the story, but it contained some rather explicit sexual humor. I wasn't surprised that... wait gotta go. Lupin III is on...

Dragonball is a great manga!It's about a monkey tailed mountain boy named Goku who meets a girl by the name of Bulma who is searching for the the seven mystical "Dragonballs" which when all gathered together,will grant the posseser any wish.Seeing how strong Goku is,she convinces him to join him.The art is very humorous and so are the characters(especially Goku).A word of caution however.I do not recomend this to young children seeing as how there is some nudity and potty humor in it.Still though,it has great humor and art and I reccomend it to anyone,espcially to those who like adventure.

what a cool comic its so cool but this i for ages 18+ it contains blood strong vilonce languge strong sexuly content sex sceans nudity and a little boy pulls of a women underwhare and its shocking it also contains lots of boob seceans but its cool but it contains adult content it says on back of comic so get ready for sex vilonce and nudty with dragon ball uncensord

I'm going to start it off by saying this: Don't buy this because you watched and liked the Dragonball/DBZ episodes you saw on Cartoon Network. Instead buy it because Toriyama's art and writing are great. It's a solid retelling of the myth of the monkey king, Goku, and his journey to please the great dragon Shenlong, with some changes and comedy thrown in. The fluid art keeps one reading, despite the unfamiliarity with the format (the book and its panels all go from right to left).

I suggest picking this up. Get this manga, then get the others. They blow the anime out of the water if you can read, and if you can't, then just look at the pictures, because those are good too.

i rented this book at the libriairy. i diddint know how much info i would find though!but anyway if need or want ifo on db,dbz,or dbzgt you need to get this book!

Hi, my name is Greg and I am 14 years old. I read this book and I really liked it! I have seen every episode of DragonBallZ that has been realesed in English. I thought I was the biggest DBZ fan on the planet. I bet there are alot of other big fans like me out there, too. I really loved this book. These guys are very funny and informative. I read this book 10 times. I recommend it to everyone who likes DragonBall Z.

I love the book by Danny and Lois Gresh. I can see these guys are just as fanatical as myself about Dragonball. I have read their book over 30 times and I am still laughing! All of my friends bought this book, too. I am 11, and I really like the part about the role playing games these guys make up. This is a very funny book, and I learned a lot from it.

This book is great!If your a new dbz fan and love it so far but dont know much or want to know more.Then buy this book.It gives you funny jokes,some quizzes,how to play the role-playing-game and more.i reccomend this book to any dragon ball z fan.

I just want to start by saying that this book was the best books that I have ever read. I loved every sentence and every word of it. I got it for my birthday, and I read it all the way through without putting it down even once. Except for when I had to go to sleep, or when I was in the shower. I have read this book all the way through now about five times, and a few times, I've read my favorite parts over and over again. This book it is very useful if you want more information on a certain subject about DragonBall, or if you want to know about episodes you haven't seen yet. I liked the chapter about action figures a lot, also the chapter about the role playing games. They were very fun to read. These authors are geniuses. I would like to write a DragonBall book, too.

Introduction: Firstly let me begin by saying I only recently got the book, so I haven't really had time to read everything in extreme detail. Now for a review, not hard, overall its a good book with potential. But I'll explain in more detail ...

How does the book span out? The book like other anime based role-playing books starts by explaining parts of the anime bit by bit before moving on into actual game rules and mechanics. This will be quite helpful if your planning on using the base characters and locations from the series, otherwise it might just end up a base for creating you own. It could end up as a reference more than anything else.

The book only really gets into the main mechanics around half way through, it starts with combat and how that works and goes to other things like powers and training. After its done with the bulk of the rules (which you will need to read more than once) it then moves onto some nice pointer tactics for battle situation, and even a short demo battle to give you a taste of what it's like during combat. This part of the book is good, not many faults on first glance.

A good thing about this book is it ends with some help on creating your own sagas and making campaigns, as well as some rules you might want to use in your games to keep them going smoothly. It really does try and help you create your enemies and settings as much as possible. This is something other game systems might try selling that as a separate book (not going to name and names).

Good points with the book: The strongest part of the book is really how well its been done. The makers could have gotten this very wrong, dull rules or unneeded complicatations but it seems it hasn't. The rules are faithful to the series and allow you to have the right Dragonball Z feel to your game. All this on my first read, several reviews make the same point and I now understand why.

Also the obvious reason why the book is good; its Dragonball Z in proper role-playing form!

Problems with the book: The first is really the amount of actual game content, or rather the lack of content. The book itself seems rather short (around 144 pages) and considering about half are filled with information rather than rules this lets the book down slightly. Adding to this the book only covers the Saiyan Saga (which might put some people off if you like the higher powered Sagas). This is ultimately going to irritate you, and that leads you onto the next problem; once you get this book you WILL want the others. "That's not a bad thing ..." I hear you say? - It is when it means forking out even more money for the books, and the hardest part; finding them. Yes, the other books (two others right now) as I found are quite hard to find. I eventually found them, but not for a cheap price.

Apart from than that my only problem is the obvious; bugs in the system. Like every role-playing system this one has it's problems, not that I have noticed any yet, but from reviews of the book I have seen suggest this book has some teething issues that are later sorted in further editions of the game. Another reason why you will want and possibly need to get the further editions to the game.

Conclusion: I know it might look like I'm being pretty negative, the bad points are a lot bigger than the good in my review but despite that I stand by saying the book is a great role-playing game. Not without it's problems, and yes it had more potential and I'm sure it will reach this when I receive the other books and read through them all. Right now I'm happy with the book, It's got a lot of great features and interesting possibilities and it`s looking to be a lot of fun, keeping in mind it's bad point I strongly recommend this to any keen role-players that are interested in Dragonball Z looking for something new and fun.

I personaly like the book.It has the most oraginal and ostanding ideas i have ever seen.The book is good for all Dragon Ball Z/Gt fans.(I woulden't recommened it to new comers though)You have to get into the book and know at least part of the story line.When the book arrived i was over joyed and started reading it right away.If you have qusetions about the book contact me at THESUBLAW2@aol.com.The book is somewhat hard to get a hold of.You can get it here,Barens and noble or Comic Heven.I hope this helps you if not just e-mail me and i will try to help.

The overall idea of a DBZ RPG is good, and the system posited here works pretty well. However, the rules listed in this book are full of contradictions and many things are left unexplained. Currently, the book is most useful as a reference to the English version of DBZ as it gives info on all the characters (major and minor) in the Saiyan Saga (which is before trip to Namek). The game itself needs some work, so don't buy this if you expect to learn it quickly. Your best bet is to wait for the Frieza Saga book coming out soon, which hopefully will have rules errata for the main game (or maybe rewrite the whole thing).

The game is great,but you will have to read the instructions 3 or 4 times to fully memorize the rules the authors are geniouses and I cant wait for the freeza saga.DBZ fans will be amazed while RPG fans will have loads of fun.

They lacked in a few areas. I understood everything in the first read. I have found that over all, this is a near-perfect game... therefore I gave it a near-perfect score.Thankfully they made some revisions in the Frieza Saga book. I can't wait for the Trunks book to be out (Supposedly last week of September).

One of the best books i have ever read, and i read a lot of them. This is one to get.

First,let me explain what this is. This is DBZ Movie #12 "The Rebirth of Fusion! Goku and Vegeta!" compact into graphic novel form. The pictures are in color and are viewed in Manga(Japanese Comic) form. The text is all in Japanese, and it is read from right-to-left, like all Japanese books are, as opposed to left-to-right, like American books. As I mentioned, the text is in Japanese. If you can read Japanese, then you've got no problem. Me, I can't read Japanese, but I know the entire plot of the movie, and I have seen clips of it, so I'm pretty much okay. For those of you who don't know, the basic plot is: A Heaven-Dwelling teenager, who is responsible for operating a washing machine that cleans souls before they are sent to Hell, slacks off, allowing the machine to explode and himself to be posessed by an extremely powerful demon named Janemba. Janemba proceeds to take over the Afterlife and the dead begin returning to life on Earth. Gohan, Videl, Goten, and Trunks take action and battle the reborn Freeza, Hitler and his army of Nazis, and practically every villain the Z Fighters have ever killed. Mean while, in the afterlife, Goku, Paikuhan, and Vegeta battle Janemba in a fierce fight. Super Saiya-jin 3 Son Goku makes an appearance, as does Gotenks, and the ultimate fusion, Gogeta! Definetely one of the best DBZ movies, this book is great if you know what's going on. Not for everyone, if your turned off by the Japanese text. Still, I strongly suggest buying it. It even has a 6 page Fusion index in the back that describes Gotenks, Vegetto, and their fights with Majin Buu! A great buy for hardcore DBZ fans!

if your a fan of dragonball z this book u must get! i've red it 20 times and im still not tired of it. this book is where Goku and vegeta have to fuse to defeat Janemba, some guy that took over anither guys body in hell. it also has gotenks in it which is Goten and Trunks fused.
this book is the best!
