"Farewell, Dragon World!" (バイバイドラゴンワールド Baibai Doragon Wārudo, lit. "Bye-Bye, Dragon World") is the three hundred twenty fifth chapter of Dragon Ball Z and the five hundred nineteenth overall chapter of the Dragon Ball manga. It is the final chapter in the original Dragon Ball manga series.
Cover
The cover of this chapter shows Goku with his Power Pole, and on a blue dragon similar to Shenron. It is a homage to the very first volume of the original Dragon Ball manga. This cover art is also featured in Daizenshuu 1.
Summary
The announcer begins going over the tournament matchups and procedures, telling everyone to come to the ring when their name is called, etc. They're free to relax or warm up at the moment, if they wish. Goten is upset that he has to face Buu in the first round, but Goku thinks it wouldn't be a problem if he hadn't been so lazy about his training. Mō Kekko pipes in, saying he thinks he should be the one complaining, because he has to face this little kid. Pan sticks her tongue out at him, and he tells her to go home and drink breast milk. However, Otoko Suki is very pleased that he'll be facing Trunks. Knock then starts calling out Vegeta, making fun of his age. He gets in Vegeta's face, laughs, and tells him to die. Vegeta nonchalantly punches him away, sending him crashing into a brick wall.
Uub enters the tournament ring
From the center of the tournament ring, the announcer announces that the World Martial Arts Tournament is underway, and the first match is about to begin. Pan is a genius girl at only age four, and she's the grandchild of Mr. Satan. Her opponent, Mō Kekko, lost to Mr. Buu in the semifinals of the last tournament, and is 2 meters, 30 centimeters tall (7.5 feet). Some fans in the crowd can't believe they'd allow such a much, and Mr. Satan hopes Pan will be okay. The match begins, and Mō Kekko supposes he better get this over with, but Pan quickly jumps up and punches him in the face, then kicks him out of the ring straight into the arena wall. Once it's made certain he's still breathing, Pan is declared the winner, and she cutely bows. The announcer says it is time for the second match to begin, reciting Goku's decorated past and introducing Uub, who is a 10-year-old boy who has come all the way from an island in the south. Bulma feels bad that the poor kid has come all this way just to lose to Goku. Piccolo tells Dende that this is the match to pay the most attention to this time.
Goku attacks Uub
The match begins, and Goku tells Uub not to be nervous, or else he can't put out his true strength. Uub nervously says okay, and Goku thinks it's no use, as he clearly hasn't calmed down. Goku thinks he has no choice… "Hey you! Get your ass over here, you bastard! I pretended to be a good guy around everyone earlier, but really, I'm very very bad! Why you… I, uhh, hate you! I'm gonna knock you out. Also, uhh, I'm gonna beat you to death, and do you want me to bring your bones home! Uhh… Your outie-belly-button mommy is waiting!" Uub protests calling his mommy that. "Well, then is she a shit? Yeah, yeah, she's a shit, huh?!" Trunks and Goten wonder what he's doing. Goku thinks he'll finish it now, and flies at Uub saying, "Your daddy is also a shit!!"
Goku kicks Uub in the face and then backs off. Uub gets pissed and says his father and mother aren't shits, as he rushes toward Goku with a kick. Goku blocks it, but his arm really hurts afterwards. Goku barely dodges a punch, and then backflips away from a kick. Goku flies at Uub with a punch that Uub just barely blocks, and the two rapidly exchange multiple blows. Everyone is shocked to see this kid hold his own against Goku. Uub yells, sending a kiai that sends Goku flying up into the air, but is shocked to see Goku catch himself and just float in the air. Goku lands, and notes that Uub still doesn't know how to fly. Goku says he couldn't have learned that without having a teacher. Goku apologizes for the badmouthing earlier, explaining that he merely wanted to see Uub's true strength. Goku thinks he certainly is impressive, but what good is fighting if he doesn't know how to use his power.
Goku decides to train Uub
Goku offers to come live with Uub and teach him. Uub says his home is poor, and that's why he needs the prize money. Goku says that's no problem, since he can borrow lots of money from Mr. Satan. Goku says that Uub will be the one to protect the peace from now on, and then tells him to wait here, as he flies up to inform every one of his plan. "I'm gonna train this guy and go live at his house. I don't know how long it'll take, but I'll come back a lot. Be good, okay. See ya!" Gohan is very confused with everything that's just unfolded. Goku goes back to Uub and tells him to climb on his back and hold on tight, since they're flying all the way to an island in the south. Goku zooms off, and Trunks and Goten wonder what just happened. Everyone in the sky box is confused, but Piccolo smirks and says this is the happiest he's seen Goku in a long time. Vegeta knows what Kakarot's scheme is, and it's not just to train Buu's reincarnation to protect the peace. As they fly away, Goku tells Uub they should have a proper rematch once they're done training. Uub agrees, and Goku admits that's his true objective. Goku thinks it's exciting to meet someone so strong, and Uub agrees. As the two zoom by, Goku tells Uub he'll get even stronger, and Uub says, "Yes!!" Thinking that’s not excited enough, Goku tells him to yell, "Yeah–!!", and Uub follows suit, as the two disappear off into the distance….
"The great adventure of Goku and his friends, concerning the Dragon Balls! I can only show it to you all up until here, the end… Even after this, there will probably be various troubles, but somehow they'll surmount them, without a doubt… It'll be all right, because they've got the Dragon Balls…!"
In the Kanzenban edition, two additional pages show Goku giving his Flying Nimbus to Uub while they are leaving Papaya Island. Back at the World Martial Arts Tournament, Vegeta declares he will show Goku defeat sooner or later.[1]
The story of the Dragon Balls has ended, as Goku finally advances from becoming a naive fighter, into a wise teacher.

Trivia
- At the end of the original version, the narrator says that the Earth will be safe as long as the Dragon Balls are there. In the Kanzenban version, the narrator says Earth will be safe thanks to the strong people there.
- In the Kanzenban version, Akira Toriyama's goodbye message is removed and replaced with Vegeta declaring he will show Goku defeat sooner or later.
- The 2014 Kanzenban version of the ending was later included in both the "Full Color" and "Digest Edition" releases. However, the "Digest Edition" does retain Akira Toriyama's original goodbye message rather than Vegeta's new ending panels.[2]
- A back cover of Weekly Shōnen Jump 25 (June 5, 1995) shows a black and white picture of Son Goku first meeting Bulma at the beginning of the first chapter, while behind the picture is Son Goku smiling at it with the message above them saying: "A Long time ago it started with a simple encounter and now it comes back to us, it was nice when you look at it. And now the final chapter."
