Mark of the Warlock
The Lord of Lords, mightiest of the deities, has come to Earth—and he needs the help of Goku, Gohan and Vegeta! From across aeons of time, from across the stars, the evil wizard Bobbidi has returned, gathering "chi" energy to resurrect the imprisoned djinn Boo, the most powerful creature that ever existed. Beneath the ground in a buried spaceship, Bobbidi has assembled a menagerie of vicious beasts from across the galaxy, ready to defeat our heroes and feed their power to the djinn. But the most vicious enemy of all is already standing in the heroes' ranks…[1]

Son Goku was Earth's greatest hero, and the Dragon Balls—which can grant any wish—were Earth's greatest treasure. After many adventures, Goku finally died saving the world from the monstrous Cell, but he left behind two sons, Gohan and Goten. When a great martial arts tournament was announced, Goku's old friends gathered to participate…and even Goku came from heaven to join in on the action! But before the tournament can really get started, it was interrupted by two otherworldly visitors: Kaiô-shin, the mighty "lord of lords," and his right-hand man, Kibito. Kaiô-shin had come to Earth to track down the diabolical wizard, Bobbidi…and he needs our heroes' help![1]
Volume introduction by Akira Toriyama[]
"It feels like things have gotten even more hectic since the year started. In a addition to Dragon Ball, I have some work I'm doing for a video game, some work for V Jump, and the work I'm doing with my friend designing model kits. And then, in whatever spare time I have left, I have to think up dozen of design plans for my company, Bird Studio. Just as I'm writhing in agony, my dog gets sick, and I've had to find time for trips to the vet. She's fine now.) I want time to good off!"[1]
