I know I'm not the only thinking this, the powerlevels are ridiculous. I'm sorry, but not really, they just are. We're getting to the point where the number are totally out of control, and I know they'll get even worse. I think the problem in the first place is trying to put a number on how strong each character is. At first it might not seem that wild because the numbers started out relatively small, but now we're nearing 1 million, and just why? I think it's honestly better when the characters just get stronger and stronger, even though within the genre it does get out of control. Putting a number to it just gives the reader something really specific to look at, and think too much about.

This was a great read. This series continues to get better and better. This is an absolute thrilling ride. I really enjoyed the action and battles. In this volume, I was actually a bit disappointed in Vegeta. I did not think such a fearless guy would make such immature decisions. Also, I liked that Goku comes back and gets stronger as the fight continues. I thought that the body swap was the weirdest part of the manga so far. I am just excited to see the fight with Freeza because then we get to see how strong he really is. I can't wait for Volume 9. Overall, another enjoyable read.

*Review of Volumes 6-8*
More punch punch stuff! It's nice to see some laid back villains. Everyone is so doom and gloom all the time. Cocky too, but I'm used to it. There was some good lore about the Namekians and the universe in general, so that was good to know. Do I have predictions for what this lore means? No. I feel like there's so much to uncover that some of this stuff might not be mentioned for a long time, so I'm not gonna worry about. Also, my brain hurts, so I just want some more punch punch stuff.
