Vagabond Definitive Edition Volumes: Release Dates and ISBN-13s
Published 29 October 2026 · Source dates are listed with each edition
VIZ Media lists 8 Vagabond Definitive Edition hardcovers so far. Check each book's release date, page count and ISBN-13, and compare its page count with the VIZBIG paperback of the same number.
Volume count: VIZ's Definitive Edition list shows Vol. 1 through Vol. 8, two of them scheduled, and does not state a final number of books. VIZ, Vagabond Definitive Edition volume list, checked 2026-10-29.
Mapped coverage: The eight Definitive Edition hardcovers VIZ lists as of October 29, 2026, numbered 1–8; Vols. 7 and 8 are scheduled releases. VIZ's product pages do not say which original volumes each book collects or how many books the edition will have, so this map does not translate to the VIZBIG Edition or any other Vagabond edition.

What each edition covers
Numbering: Vagabond Definitive Edition book numbering. It describes mapped story units only; separately documented extras remain separate. A unit is one Definitive Edition book. Its number is the edition's own, not an original volume number.
Amazon buttons below are paid affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. How affiliate links work. A button labeled “Search Amazon for …” opens an Amazon search for that edition’s ISBN-13, because we did not find a new copy in stock under that exact ISBN-13 when we last checked.

As of October 29, 2026, VIZ lists eight Vagabond Definitive Edition hardcovers: Vol. 1 to Vol. 6 carry release dates from January 21, 2025 to August 18, 2026, and Vol. 7 (November 17, 2026) and Vol. 8 (January 19, 2027) are scheduled. VIZ’s pages do not say how many books the edition will run to, and scheduled dates can move.
What VIZ says is inside
VIZ Shop’s description of Vol. 1 reads “This large-trim definitive edition with gorgeous textured design collects three phenomenal volumes of the samurai-era masterpiece by manga legend Takehiko Inoue!” (VIZ Shop). VIZ’s product pages for the other books, reachable from VIZ’s Definitive Edition list, do not say which original volumes each one gathers. So every row covers one unit, its own number, and the calculator answers only which Definitive Edition books you lack.
Dates and page counts beside the VIZBIG paperbacks
| Book | Release date (VIZ) | Status on October 29, 2026 | Definitive pages | VIZBIG pages, same number |

VIZ lists the Definitive Edition as a hardcover with a 7 × 10 inch trim size and the VIZBIG Edition as a paperback at 5 3/4 × 8 5/8. Seven of the eight number pairs list the same page count; Vol. 8 does not (628 against 624). VIZ does not say the two editions hold the same material, and matching page counts alone cannot show it, so this map does not treat a Definitive book as covering a VIZBIG number.
The two scheduled books
Vol. 7 and Vol. 8 appear on VIZ’s site as pre-order listings. Their Amazon buttons open a search for the ISBN-13 rather than a specific listing, because no new copy was in stock under those ISBN-13s when we checked. A listing that does not name the Definitive Edition could be the VIZBIG paperback with the same number, so compare the ISBN-13 with the table (the ISBN edition check explains how).
