Synopsis

The fantastic story of “ Dragon Ball ” begins a long time ago. Thousands of kilometres away from the capital of a small Asian empire, deep in the mountains. There lives Son Goku, a small but very strong guy with a handy monkey tail. Since the death of his grandfather, he spends his lonely days training in unconventional martial arts and no less strange ways of gathering food. Son Goku misses nothing and no one – until Bulma suddenly appears. She comes from a world alien to Son Goku, full of other people and intangible miracle gadgets, and she is – wow! – a girl. For Son Goku, who has never seen a girl before, she is a being from another star. After the first brief and dramatic encounter between the two, Son Goku learns what has brought Bulma to this remote area: She is in search of the seven Dragon Balls, the miraculous dragon orbs. Each of them contains a certain number of stars, and whoever is in possession of all seven balls will be granted a wish by the divine dragon Shenlong. Only one, but any wish you can think of! And because Bulma not only wants the orbs at any price, but also has a knack for technology, she has made a radar device for her search that shows where the much-coveted Dragon Balls are. That’s how she knows that Son Goku must be in possession of a Dragon Ball. But he is not at all pleased with the idea of giving Bulma his Dragon Ball. After all, the pretty toy is all he has left of his grandfather. But never underestimate a girl – it doesn’t take long for Bulma to win Son Goku over with her extraordinary charm. And this is not only the beginning of a wonderful friendship, but also the start of a long adventurous quest that takes Son Goku, Bulma and the audience across a world full of unbelievable surprises. This world is densely populated by sometimes quite lovable, but sometimes also somewhat strange creatures, some of which accompany the two on their sometimes very winding path …
