This includes everything from outerspace, to characters, to technology, and even the dragonballs themselves.

Even though the majority of DragonBall takes place on Earth, Akira Toriyama often turned to the rest of the universe for new enemies and inspiration. This two page spread shows the different locations throughout the universe and heavens. Each locations name is provided, along with a short description and any specific characters from that area.
|

Akira Toriyama left nothing to the imagination and completely re-mapped the Earth in the DragonBall World. This section takes a look at this map, which has been broken up into 12 areas (A-1 to C-4). Each area is given its own page which displays locations of major events, cities, landmarks, and characters that associated with them.

| | CHAPTER 81 - Chased to Penguin Village! |
| 091 |
| 其之八十一 追ってペンギン村！ |
|
| |
It is always a special treat when you can read a DragonBall chapter in full color, which is exactly what we get! You have to remember that at the time, there wasn't even a thought about a Kanzenban release, so no colored chapters were available unless you still had an original copy of a Weekly Jump. This chapter showcased the intermingling of the DragonBall World between Akira Toriyama's Dr. Slump and DragonBall. What could be better?
