Dragon Ball Vol. 8 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

In the final of the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku and Tien wage a fight of equals, shaking the arena with multi-armed techniques and traded Dodon-style blasts and Kamehameha. At the last instant Goku falls just short, but Tien discards the Crane Hermit's ruthless doctrine and begins to choose his own path as a martial artist. After the match, Krillin is found with his skull crushed; Goku, enraged, hunts the killer's lingering ki without pause. The clues name King Piccolo's return and a hunt for tournament fighters meant to conquer the world. Unsealed, the Demon King births sons one after another and starts cutting down the earth's martial artists. Goku takes on a friend's murder and a planetary crisis at once, and flies alone into a journey from which the laughter has gone.
