When my son was still in elementary school, he was obsessed with the "Saikyo-Oh Zukan" (Ultimate King Pictorial Book) series. Every day after school, he would put down his backpack and immediately open this pictorial book. He would flip through the pages of monsters and alien creatures, his eyes shining, and ask me every night, "If these two fought, who do you think would win?" I remember it like it was yesterday. The illustrations were realistic and powerful, making you feel like you were being sucked into the book. It felt less like looking at "creatures" and more like looking at "living legends." And then, we would play the DVD that came with the set, watching the monsters from the pictorial book actually battle. With the addition of sound and movement, it was like another world. Not only my child, but even I, an adult, was captivated. However, because of that, the books were really well-read. There are many signs of use, such as folded page corners, scuffed covers, and wear and tear. The condition is "not good." I would be happy to pass these on to someone who understands that they are for "reading" and "enjoying," rather than as a pristine collection. The DVD has been tested and plays without any problems. ・Set Contents Pictorial Books: 8 DVD: 1 (Monster Battle Footage) Publisher: Gakken Series Name: Saikyo-Oh Zukan (Ultimate King Pictorial Book) Theme: Monsters & Alien Creatures What is strength? What is evolution? Each time you turn the page, these books make you think about such things. This is a set that I would love for young adventurers and monster lovers to read. Please, journey into the world of the Ultimate Kings once more. Thank you for looking.
