Dragon Ball Z: Great Saiyaman - Final Round (2005), also released as Dragon Ball Z: Volume 58 - Great Saiyaman - Final Round, is the 58th original FUNimation Dragon Ball Z DVD volume. Released in North America by FUNimation Entertainment, the collection contains three episodes from the English release: "Final Round," "Goku vs. Pikkon," and "Gohan Goes to High School."

STORY OVERVIEW

After surviving a dangerous battle against the dinosaur warrior Maraikoh, Goku advances to the final round of the Other World Tournament, where he faces the powerful Pikkon. Their battle quickly becomes one of the tournament's most anticipated matchups as both fighters reveal their strength and push each other to the limit.

The volume then shifts from the Other World Tournament to Gohan's return to everyday life. Seven years after the events surrounding Cell, Gohan begins attending high school and attempts to keep his extraordinary abilities hidden from his classmates. The contrasting stories give this release both tournament action and the beginning of Gohan's new high-school chapter.
