Meet Taopaipai

Not one to read if you are looking to get into the series. As the Red Ribbon grows more and more infuriated with Goku, they send Taopaipai, the world's greatest assassin, to take his Dragonballs. This is a great volume in the series, you have a real feeling that Goku may not make it throw, some thing we haven't felt for awhile. When Goku's power is not enough, he must under go new training in order to avenge the death of his new friend's father. We finally see an end of the tunnel with this saga as Goku storms the Red Ribbon headquarters.
