Dragon Ball, Vol. 3: The Training of Kame-Sennin (Dragon Ball, #3) Reviews
-
This was a bit of a letdown after the first two volumes for me, as things start to move into more generic territory here: there's the martial arts training program, the inevitable tournament - stuff we've seen many times before. The stream-of-consciousness-style silliness has not completely disappeared, to be sure, but I miss that early anarchic anything-goes zaniness!
-
Goku's training under master Roshi begins, as he finds a friendly rival along the way, in Krillin. The contrast between the two characters are very well portrayed. Loved the pacing and humor, although Roshi's perversions can be a bit too much.
-
Si Goku siendo nene en las peleas les gana a todos, no quiero imaginar como va a ser de grande, en DBZ. Ahora entiendo que siempre se pregunten si X personaje de anime puede vencerlo.

Bit of a shame about Lunch: she gets a couple gags, a bit of conflict with her split personality issue, but is quickly set aside. It would have been nice to see her train a bit, too, like they teased, keep her around a while longer. Alas.
Other than that, this is a good volume. The series is finally picking up the sort of stuff we know Dragon Ball for, but there's still plenty of jokes and the story moves at a rapid pace. -
This is honestly such a laugh-out-loud series.
Goku is hilarious and one of the greatest manga characters ever. I love him. He makes me feel happy in my soul.
Plus its about martial arts? How could I not love it.
This volume covers Goku's training and the early stages of the tournament. It's a lot of fun and hilarity and there is not a dull moment. Even the pervy sensei is okay. Small doses, and he gets the karma he deserves.
I did not expect to love this series as much as I do. It's so great! Onwards! -
Son Goku is training with Mr Super Perv, the old Turtle Master, Kame-Sen’in, to become the ultimate fighter. A new student, Kuririn, joins them as the group trains to enter the Tenka’ichi Budokai, the “Strongest Under the Heavens” fighting contest. Also, Lunch is introduced.
Who’s Lunch? This braindead woman who changes from Jekyll to Hyde when she sneezes and is essentially a bimbo. I wonder how long it took Akira Toriyama to think up the names of these characters - Lunch?! What, it took him a microsecond to come up with that? And why does she go along with everything like, oh being abducted and taken to an island and made to wear lingerie and cook - doesn’t she have a life/character of her own?
Kame-Sen’in’s lechery is getting really annoying - I’m sure it’s supposed to be funny but I kinda hate the character at this point.
Other than that, it’s another great volume in the series. The training sequences are pretty fun as Goku and Kuririn go from rivals to besties, and it pays off when they reach the Strongest Under the Heavens tournament and we see these two tiny kids beat the crap out of giant opponents! Plus we see them put on the classic orange outfits for the first time (though the comic is in black and white, you’ve probably see colour versions of the characters elsewhere).
With Yamcha, Bulma, Pu’ar and Oolong showing up to watch, the series is really filling out with an interesting cast. And I love the craziness of this world where T-Rexs chase Goku and Kuririn on their milk rounds and houses come in capsules!
The book ends just after the first fight of the tournament with Son Goku yet to spar, and probably win, so make sure you’ve got the next couple books to hand so you can jump right into the action without having to wait! Dragon Ball Vol 3 has a few bits here and there I didn’t like with Kame-Sen’in and Lunch but it’s still a fantastic book that fans of the series will devour in no time! -
An energetic and innocent volume dedicated to little Goku's training alongside Kuririn under the wings of their master Kame-Sen'nin. Their relationship grows from rivalry to camaraderie quite quickly and the result of their quirky training is stupendous yet entertaining!
-
Mais uma vez, o que eu me fartei de rir! Estes personagens são uma delícia, super divertidos. O Goku com a sua ingenuidade e o Tartaruga Genial com a sua perversidade, são de ir às lágrimas.
Depois ainda há aquelas partes que uma pessoa nem acredita que está a ler, como o combate do Krillin Vs o fedorento do Bactéria.
Muito bom, sem dúvida! -
4.5

This is very interesting and you should read the whole manga if you have the time.It has some good power levels and has some suspense. Gokuu has a sense of humor and it has all the stuff you would want in a manga.The only things bad about this is that is is not PG this is like rated 14+ but I can handle the stuff in there.Overall enjoyable but you need to be able to handle it and have the time to read it.
-
Just a bunch of training montages. This however all leads up to the, Strongest of the Heavens tournament. Things should start picking up soon!! This is one of my least favorite sagas along with the Emperor Pilaf saga.
-
With the Dragon Balls gone and Bulma's summer vacation over, Goku goes to the remote house of the Turtle Hermit, Kame-Sen'nin, to be trained in the martial arts. There, the girl-ogling old master promises to teach Goku everything he knows...and prepare him for the Tenka'ichi Budôkai, the great tournament to determine the Strongest Fighter in the World! But Goku's fellow student, the Shaolin monk Kuririn, isn't above cheating to be the best. Can the two of them get along as they undergo the strangest martial arts training ever?

the tournament drawings are funnn

Loved the fun training aspects of this one! The series is definitely starting to find its footing.

Goku: Dengan melihat saja, kamu bisa langsung membedakan laki-laki atau perempuan! Hebat!
Krilin: Memangnya kamu tak tahu perbedaannya?
Goku: Yang kutahu, laki-laki itu berkumis.
Krilin: ......Aku laki-laki, lho.
Biasanya saya tidak menulis review untuk volume komik secara satuan/terpisah, tapi ini perkecualian. Dalam sebuah karya kadang ada kepingan-kepingan tertentu yang terasa begitu istimewa hingga dapat diapresiasi dalam lingkup konteksnya sendiri, dan volume ketiga dari seri shounen legendaris ini adalah salah satu contohnya.
Fokus pada volume ini adalah kisah latihan Goku di bawah bimbingan kakek mesumJin Kura KuraKamesennin, sebelum kemudian bertanding di turnamen Budokai. Dua tokoh baru diperkenalkan di sini: Krilin, si botak yang turut berguru pada Kamesennin; dan Ranchi, wanita cantik yang bisa berubah wujud jadi brutal setiap bersin. Kehadiran mereka memberi warna baru pada cerita, terutama Krilin yang kelak akan menjadi tokoh favorit saya sepanjang kisah Dragon Ball.
Interaksi Goku- Krilin-Kamesennin-Ranchi menjadi sumber komedi yang efektif dan membuat berbagai sesi latihan jadi semakin menghibur. Goku memang memiliki potensi kekuatan yang jauh melampaui manusia normal, tapi Krilin yang lebih licik mampu mengalahkannya saat latihan pencarian batu bertanda khusus di hutan. Seakan menegaskan bahwa Volume 3 ini adalah volume-nya Krilin, klimaksnya pun berupa duel Krilin di turnamen Budokai melawan “orang yang tak pernah mandi sejak lahir” Bacterian:
Bacterian: *serangan tripel bau mulut, bau badan, dan buang angin*
Krilin: *hampir KO*
Goku: Bangun, Krilin! Kamu itu hanya berhalusinasi, kamu nggak benar-benar mencium baunya! Kamu kan nggak punya hidung!
Krilin: OH IYA! *bangkit, langsung meng-KO Bacterian*
Lawakan yang sangat surreal dan sukses membuat saya terbahak-bahak, baik saat pertama kali baca ataupun saat baca ulang (*sungguh, awalnya saya pikir hidung Krilin kebetulan saja tidak digambar, bukan karena dia benar-benar tidak punya hidung).
Fondasi persahabatan antara Goku dan Krillin dibangun di volume ini dan ada nuansa nostalgia melihat awal hubungan mereka sebelum begitu banyak peristiwa yang kemudian terjadi. Kelak berpuluh-puluh tahun kemudian, mereka akan bertemu di tempat yang sama dan mengenang peristiwa yang terjadi di volume ini.
“Masih ingat sewaktu kita lomba mencari batu di hutan?” -
Goku received training from Kamesennin. Goku put the forces for World Martial Arts Tournament. The training is milk delivery and field labor. Goku think it doesn’t make the sense. But his power is up. He kept winning the tournament.
I want him to win the game but maybe he can’t do that because Kamesennin appearance on the stage. -
Este torneio ahah

Goku is an eccentric monkey-tailed boy with superhuman strength and boundless energy. His life of peaceful solitude is interrupted one day when he meets Bulma, a feisty young lady on the hunt for mysterious wish-granting orbs known as Dragon Balls. Accompanied by a group of zany companions, the two team up on a grand adventure full of all kinds of intense battles, dangerous villains and whacky hijinks.
Now this was a blast of nostalgia! Dragon Ball was the first anime I ever watched as a dorky little toddler. I remember watching it every week with my big brother. I watched the reruns multiple times and owned all the Budokai and Tenkaichi fighting games. I developed a bit of an unhealthy obsession with Dragon Ball Z throughout my middle school years. While I don't like the series nearly as much as I once did, I'm very thankful toward this series for introducing me to the wonderful world of anime and manga. After Dragon Ball, I watched Ghibli, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket and dozens of others. I then went on to discover some of my all time favorite series like Berserk, Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Gantz, Battle Royale, Attack on Titan, Vagabond, Blade of the Immortal, Parasyte, Goodnight Punpun and more. Dragon Ball made me a fan of this medium and it felt great to re-experience the series from beginning to end for the first time in twenty years.
The story and characters are simple, but the series is easy to read, hilarious and wholesome in spite of the constant action. The series starts off as a raunchy, self-aware slapstick comedy full of fourth-wall breaking, sexual innuendos and surprisingly dirty jokes. This series was definitely edgy for its time considering it was geared towards a young audience. A lot of the perverted humor and gag comedy wouldn't fly too well with modern sensibilities, but it can be pretty funny for people who don't get offended easily and can handle some outdated mannerisms and attitudes from the past.
While the series does start off as a comedy gag reel, it slowly develops into a more serious streamlined plot with better written characters and villains. The story never really blooms into anything worth writing home about, but it remains consistently entertaining and fun to read. The interactions between Goku and his pals is always funny, even the way he plays around with his enemies is comical. If I remember as well as I think I do, I believe the maturity of the story and characters improve much more in the sequel series which I'll eventually get around to reviewing at some point. The original Dragon Ball ends on a great battle sequence that sets up the more serious tone of Dragon Ball Z.
My only major complaint about the overall story is the Dragon Balls make things way too convenient and removes the stakes and consequences of literally everything. If a major character dies they can just be wished back. This removes any sense of drama or tension from the battles and the consequences of the villains actions becomes moot. The series doesn't take itself too seriously and often pokes fun at itself, but the way the Dragon Balls are utilized are just a little too much in my opinion. Even comedies need a certain amount of suspension and stakes to make me care about what's going on.

Nachdem die Suche nach den Dragonballs für Son Goku und seine Freunde eher weniger erfolgreich verlaufen ist, beschließt der kleine Kampfknirps eine Kampfausbildung bei dem Herren der Schildkröten zu absolvieren. Während Meister Roshi seinem Schüler immer wieder die Aufgabe stellt ein hübsches Mädchen auf seine Insel zu holen, versteht Son Goku seine Aufgabe scheinbar nicht, was den lüsternen Roshi fast verzweifeln lässt. Erst als der glatzköpfige Kuririn auftaucht, scheint diese Aufgabe lösbar. Doch die Dame, die sie in der Not retten und mit zur Insel nehmen hat es faustdick hinter den Ohren, denn immer wenn Lunch niest, verwandelt sie sich entweder in ihr gutes oder in ihr böses Ich. Zwischen Angst und Schrecken vor Lunch beginnen die Schüler endlich ihre Ausbildung bei Meister Roshi mit dem Ziel am großen Turnier in der westlichen Hauptstadt teilzunehmen und dort eine gute Platzierung zu erlangen.
Wieder einmal hat es Akira Toriyama geschafft ein absolut geniales Werk zu schaffen. Bei dem Ideenreichtum seiner Charaktere scheint dem Mangaka keine Grenze gesetzt und jeder Charakter ist so gut ausgearbeitet, dass man sie einfach lieben muss, selbst wenn es nur Randfiguren sind - sie bleiben einfach im Kopf!
Son Goku will endlich mehr in der Kampfkunst unterwiesen werden. Hier zeigt sich wieder einmal sein starker Wille. Jedoch merkt man immer wieder, dass er kindlich ist und nichts von der Welt weiß. So treibt er seinen lüsternen Meister immer wieder zur Weißglut, was bei dem Leser aber immer wieder für Lacher sogt.
Kuririn hingegen ist zu Beginn der Serie ein sehr komischer Kauz und nur darauf bedacht seine eigenen Ziele zu verfolgen. Dafür ist ihn jedes Mittel recht. Mit der Zeit freunden sich Kuririn und Son Goku jedoch an und werden ein sehr gutes Team.
Lunch als neuer Charakter mischt die ganze Truppe ordentlich auf und man weiß zuerst nicht, ob man sie besser mögen oder fürchten soll. Dieser Charakter ist wirklich ganz wunderbar. Besonders, wenn es darum geht Roshi eins auszuwischen.
Auch treffen wir hier wieder auf altbekannte Charaktere zum Ende dieses Bandes. Bulma, Oolong, Pool und Yamchu geben sich ebenfalls auf dem großen Turnier die Ehre und man erkennt schnell, dass die Freunde noch immer eine sehr enge Bindung zueinander haben.
Empfehlen möchte ich diesen Manga weiterhin allen, die Martial Arts und humorvolle Stücke lieben. Die Zeichnungen sind gewohnt detailliert, wenn auch viel im witzigen Stil gehalten. Dieser Manga gehört einfach in jedes Regal und ist mit der Serie gar nicht zu vergleichen. Unbedingt lesen!

A lot less eventful compared to the first two. Less action, less of a story, but around the half-way mark, it picks up and turns around into a pretty good payoff. There's just not that much going for it, and it's kind of expected to dip in excitement after having lost its main appeal in the previous volume, but it isn't entirely meritless. I had a lot of trouble getting through this volume and I kept checking if the manga was almost over, probably because there's no real new additions to the plot like in the first 2 volumes. There's only 2 new characters that show up and make their way into the Dragon Ball world, but apart from that, there was nothing really propelling about the whole thing.
It's in the second half of the story that things become interesting. The first part of Volume 3 has the Turtle Guy training the two kids in exchange for some of his perverted weirdness with girls, but we find ourselves in a kind of loop of occurrences where the same thing goes on for several pages. I didn't find any value in it, but it was still neat, extraordinary, and wild. When the second half rolls around, we see a shift in paradigm where all that we went through the first time around gets turned into something bigger and it's here that I believe the Dragon Ball series finds its niche. You can kind of tell the next volumes are gonna be entirely about fighting, without even knowing anything about DB, and so it's fun seeing how it starts out.
There's not that much that can be said about each of these individual volumes, since they take about 90 minutes to finish, but taken as a whole, they do show some very good storytelling, fighting homages, and manga shenanigans. The humor in Dragon Ball is by far the most inappropriate I've seen in Eastern tales, and it's funny how it just keeps on piling on as though the creators can't get enough of making people laugh. Overall, I'd say there's a very good translation that allows for accurate speak bubbles, even though I don't know Japanese nor have read the originals, so it's great to see the story take on a life of its own. These volumes even if they hiccup now and again, are classic examples of what a manga should be like. -
As far as new opening chapters in a saga go, I feel like this is the second major installment we get; while the first two volumes focus on the initial collection of dragon balls and meeting some of the major characters, a completely different focus is opened at the very end of volume two, and we really get to see it kick off here in volume three. Goku begins training alongside Krillin (yes, I'm aware the manga spells it Kurirrin, but I've never quite gotten used to that) under the Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi, and we also get introduced to the character of Launch (yes, I'm also equally aware the Romanized version of her name would be read as Lunchi and the manga just calls her Lunch, but come on now.) The training eventually leads to the boys entering in the Tenka'ichi Budôkai to participate as young martial artists, and they run into Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong and Puar again, who are among the spectators.
Honestly I feel like this volume went pretty quickly, considering everything that happened in it and the way it was supposed to have more of a slot pace. Even when the pacing was meant to go a little slower, things still kept pretty steady and it remained entertaining, which I appreciated! There's some more perverse humor, though to be fair, the introduction of Launch's character and her particular...affliction helps to take off some of the edge and subvert matters.
Not much more to say on this one, but I enjoyed it and it was nice to have a few more "slice-of-life" style moments in this volume, especially since I'm certain the next one will be nonstop combat now that they're in the tournament. -
In this volume, Goku meets Kuririn and the two find Lunch to satisfy Kame Sen'nin's request for a "hotty". So, the Turtle Hermit agrees to train the boys in the most unconventional methods. The boys must make milk deliveries, till fields, and work a construction site all while wearing heavy shells. The end goal is qualifying in the Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament. Kuririn proves his worth early on against Bacterian proving the training was effective.
This volume was a lot more focused than the previous two volumes and I think it worked much more effectively to build the characters than drive the plot. This arc isn't much storywise but does lay groundwork for later in the series on a number of characters. Kuririn isn't the same as the Z Fighter we've grown used to, instead he's almost as crass as his perverted Master. Lunch is even more of a useless character in the manga, she sneezes and changes personality and appearance from a sweet girl to an evil one. She mainly pops up just to make dinner for the gang. The Tournament has a variety of characters mostly for quick jokes and to establish Kuririn's background. It is the arc I remember most vividly from the anime however so I'm interested to see how it unfolds again! -
The training finally commences and Goku and his new friend and partner in crime become eligible to participate in a competition for the strongest characters. The turtle master, perverted as ever, asks Goku and his friend to bring him a hot chick prior to their intense and unrealistic training. They bring back Lunch, a character whose personality changes whenever she sneezes from that of a kind and homely person to a devil who shoots at whatever crosses her. Cool volume and I intend to continue reading this series. I had missed Bulma but she makes yet another appearance. Goku and his training buddy do indeed make it to the finals where they'll most probably have to fight each other. Bacterian almost made me vomit, he truly is revolting despite the fact that I couldn't smell him not for the fact that I don't have a nose like Kuririn but for how well he is described. It was made clear to me that the creator of Naruto was inspired from dragon ball due to some similarities which aren't vague or subtle at all. I still love Naruto more though. I still enjoyed the extremely fast paced storyline. Not much repetition and character growth is seen quickly though 8 months pass over the course of a few pages.

Finally things begin to feel familiar and less awkward. Don’t get me wrong. There are still a few moments with Roshi and others that can make you cringe so hard that you develop abs….but there’s far less of it and far more good to wash the taste out of your mouth.
The training section is just as fantastic as I remembered from the show. Awesome wax on/wax off type of cheese that makes this series so great. The martial arts philosophy is almost as compelling as the physicality of it all. This volume really drives home for me how much more fantastic of a character Roshi could be if Toriyama wasn’t always going for the laugh. To be fair I like how he’s that unsuspecting master, very Yoda like. Seeing him mostly as a clown and then get serious and blown the expectations away is satisfying but it’s just too much. I feel like there are ways Roshi could have been unsuspecting without being an uncomfortable pervert.
All in all this was a fantastic volume with the exception of a few hiccups. They’re mercifully rare compared to the last two volumes! Can’t wait for more. -
Dragon Ball begins to turn from an adventure series into an action series, as Goku begins training under Master Roshi and preparing for a global martial arts tournament! It still doesn't take itself too seriously, what with the fetch quest to find a girl pretty enough that Roshi can be bothered to train him, and fighting opponents who are just really hecking smelly and that's it that's how they fight they're just too smelly to fight without barfing.
But we get Launch/Lunch, Krillin/Kuririn, and some neat little stories! I like Roshi's roundabout way of training, I love the dynamic of Goku and Krillin as 'equals' (Goku being clearly stronger, but both of them suffering through the same training and having banter to go with it) compared to the non-fighters like Bulma and Oolong he was grouped with earlier, and of course TOURNAMENT ARC! Tournaments are always exciting, even if this one has been mostly a giant goof so far. -
Pada akhirnya latihan Son Goku dan Kuririn sebagai murid Kamesenin diuji pada pertandingan bela diri tingkat dunia Tenkaichi Budoukai, walaupun sebenarnya kakek tua nyentrik itu tidak pernah mengajarkan jurus apa pun. Di komik yang sebenarnya punya banyak jurus yang terkenal seperti kamehameha, penulis komik sepertinya tidak pernah sekalipun menunjukkan gambar di mana seorang master mengajari anak didiknya suatu jurus. Goku dan Kuririn (dan juga Yamucha yang ternyata ikut dalam kompetisi ini) berhasil lolos ke babak sesungguhnya: babak delapan besar. Pelatihan Kamesenin ternyata tidak sia-sia.
Baca ulang Dragon Ball ini membuat saya untuk pertama kalinya menyadari bahwa ada orang bernama Wayan Budhiyasa muncul di komik ini. Kecurigaan saya dari dulu bahwa setting arena Tenkaichi Budoukai memiliki unsur-unsur Bali sekarang terbukti. -
This was a fun volume, we pick u with Goku and meet Krillin whose also come to train under Muten Roshi and we have this lady Lunch (who has like multi personalities) but the main thing is they train here for 8 months. They do running, find stone, skipping/jogging/delivering milk, tend farms and even help construction workers and so much more and yes they are reluctant but soon they realize this training has paid off and they enter Tenkaichi Budokai (a tournament) and its so fun, Goku fighting his monsters and showing his monstrous strength and the last fight between Krillin and Bacterian was hilarious lmao. The best volume so far as its simple and focuses on training and having those classic comfort moments.
