| What is Daizenshuu? |
| A daizenshuu in this case is a book. Basically a encyclopedia for DB. The books are also known as the "coffee table books", hence the name of the name of this site. There are 10 DB-DBZ books. The first 7 are hardcover and very nice, the last 3 are add-ons to the original books. They are soft cover and quite a bit cheaper. The Seven Well, there were originally seven books, one for each dragonball (get it? 7 books for 7 dragonballs). Also when the books are laid out in the "magic" order, they form Shenlong, or the dragon. Is that something or what? The 3 add-ons Well the 3 add-ons cant really be described as books 8-10, there really free standing. But for purposes of teaching and spelling, they will be called this on the site. The first 2 add-ons (books 8 and 9) are books on the collectible cards. Perfect file 1 and 2. The third is basically a way to spend more money. It has what daizenshuus 5 and 6 should have. Translation The word "Daizenshuu" can be broken into 3 parts: Dai (Large) Zen (Whole, Complete) Shuu (Gather) Dai means large on it's own, but Zen and Shuu together make their own word: Zenshuu (Complete works). So putting those together you come up with: Large Complete Works Which I'm guessing "Dragonball Daizenshuu" could be translated into something like: Dragonball: Large Complete Guide That would mean that it's a large book that complete with all of Toriyama's DB Work. |
