Eath's greatest hero...is from outerspace!
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... (In Japan, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z
were originally a single 42-volume series. VIZ Media's Dragon Ball
contains vols. 1-16 of the original Japanese Dragon Ball, from the
beginning of the series to the climax of Goku's last fight with
Piccolo.)
The Tenka'ichi Budôkai is heating up, and there can only be one winner!
Last tournament's champion Jackie Chun goes up against three-eyed Crane
School kung fu master Tenshinhan! Then, it's the long-awaited match
between former classmates Goku and Kuririn--and guess who has some
tricks up his sleeve! But Tenshinhan isn't just fighting to win, he's
carrying out a deadly grudge--to avenge his master, the Crane Hermit,
whose brother was killed by Goku. It all comes down to a final round so
devastating the battlefield itself might not survive intact--let alone
the spectators!
