Dragon Ball introduces a young monkey-tailed boy named Goku (a wry update of the classic Chinese "Monkey King" legend), whose quiet life changes when he meets a girl named Bulma who is on a quest to collect seven "Dragon Balls." If she gathers them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her one wish. But the precious orbs are scattered all over the world, and Bulma could use the help of a certain super-strong boy...

The Greatest Hero on Earth

Goku and Piccolo finally face each other down in the final match of the Tenka’ichi Budōkai! Piccolo is ready and willing to unleash all his power to win—something Goku may hesitate to do. Taking down Piccolo is going to take all of Goku’s skill and wits…and courage! But after the tournament is over, life goes on. There will be new enemies to face and even more surprising new allies!
