Another great volume. The story keeps moving at a breakneck pace with some more spotlight given to the side characters. I like the higher stakes in the most recent volumes, but I also miss the more lighthearted, comedy-focused early volumes. There's still a comedic element here, but it's definitely less prominent in favor of more battle scenes. Not a bad thing, just a change in style.
I also like how Toriyama's not afraid to kill off characters, even prominent ones. I know death is essentially meaningless in this series, especially later on, but it's still cool to see an author not afraid to get rid of fan-favorite characters, even temporarily.
