1. Bulma and Goku, before the battle

4 lines

Long ago, deep in the mountains, thousands of miles from the big city... That is where this fantastical tale begins...

Goku (Kid)

That's enough wood-chopping for now!

I'm starving.

Grandpa, I'm gonna go rustle up some grub.

2. Bulma and Goku, after the battle

85 lines
Goku (Kid)

I'll teach you a lesson, monster!

N-No! Wait!

I-I am NOT a monster! I'm a human being!

Goku (Kid)

Huh?! A human?! You are?!

Bulma (Youth)

Of course I am! Same as you! See?!

Goku (Kid)

Nah. I don't think so...

You look all thin and scrawny.

Bulma (Youth)

Well, that's not my fault! You're a boy!

I look delicate 'cause I'm a girl!

Goku (Kid)

A girl?

You're a GIRL?!

Bulma (Youth)

Well, of course I am, dummy!

You've never seen a girl before?

Goku (Kid)

Nope. Besides my grandpa, you're the only human being I've ever seen.

But he told me if I ever met one, I should treat her as politely as I can.

Bulma (Youth)

See? You're supposed to be nice to me!

Goku (Kid)

So girls don't have tails then?

Hm... Interesting.

Bulma (Youth)

Hee hee... Could you be any more uncool?!

Is that a tail accessory you're wearing? Bet you thought it was stylish, huh.

Goku (Kid)

Wait. Are you from the big city?

Bulma (Youth)

One of 'em. I'm from waaay out west.

Goku (Kid)

Come over to my house. I'll treat you to a feast! Girls like feasts, right?

Grandpa, look!

It's a girl! A real life girl has come over!

Bulma (Youth)

Hm?

There it is! The Dragon Ball!

Just like the radar said! I knew it had to be nearby!

Goku (Kid)

Hands off! That's my grandpa's keepsake!

I don't care if you're a girl, you can't touch it!

Bulma (Youth)

I wasn't gonna show you this, but oh well...

Look!

Goku (Kid)

Whoa! No way!

You've got TWO grandpas?!

Bulma (Youth)

They're called Dragon Balls, silly! And there are seven of them in total!

They glow faintly, and inside, they have anywhere from one to seven stars.

Goku (Kid)

Grandpa's has four stars!

Bulma (Youth)

That means it's the Four-Star Ball.

I've found the Two-Star Ball and the Five-Star Ball already!

Goku (Kid)

But why are you looking for them? You gonna make a necklace?

Bulma (Youth)

As if!

If you collect all seven, something amazing happens!

If you get all seven and chant the sacred words... ...Shenron, the dragon god, will appear and grant any wish you want!

Goku (Kid)

Whoa!

Bulma (Youth)

I already know what I'm wishing for! Tee hee!

Goku (Kid)

What?

Bulma (Youth)

Well, at first, I wanted a lifetime supply of strawberries, but...

What I really want is an ideal boyfriend!

Goku (Kid)

What's a "boyfriend"?

Bulma (Youth)

...Never mind. Just give me that Four-Star Ball you have there!

Goku (Kid)

Uh-uh! No way!!!

It was my grandpa's! Mitts off!

Bulma (Youth)

Tsk! Don't be so stingy!

Besides, you don't even have any use for it!

Goku (Kid)

Pbbbbt!

Bulma (Youth)

I know! Come help me with my Dragon Ball hunt!

Didn't your grandpa tell you to be nice to girls?

Goku (Kid)

A Dragon Ball hunt, huh?

Bulma (Youth)

It's not like you're busy doing anything, right?

A real man would travel far and wide to train!

Goku (Kid)

You reckon I could ever be as strong as Grandpa?

Bulma (Youth)

Of course you can! Plus, you only know life on this mountain. Don't you want to see the ocean?

There are towns with lots of people, and you'll see monsters and dinosaurs too!

Goku (Kid)

Ooh, that sounds super neat! Let's do it!

Bulma (Youth)

Okay, it's settled then! I knew you'd see sense!

Goku (Kid)

But you can't have this ball. I'll hold on to it!

Bulma (Youth)

Suit yourself! I just need to borrow it for a second when we're done.

Goku (Kid)

I guess that'd be all right.

Bulma (Youth)

This is perfect. He can be my bodyguard. And if I get my wish, so much the better.

Now then! Let the adventure begin! Yippee!

Goku (Kid)

But how are we supposed to find the other balls if we don't know where they are?

Bulma (Youth)

Heh heh heh. That's where my genius comes in!

Though I'm pretty cute too.

We'll use my Dragon Radar!

Bulma (Youth)

The Dragon Balls have a unique energy signature, albeit faint. This baby here can detect it!

See? These three are the ones we have now.

Goku (Kid)

Huh? I don't get it.

Bulma (Youth)

By the way, what's your name?

Goku (Kid)

The name's Goku! G-O-K-U!

What's yours?

...Bulma...

Goku (Kid)

Bulma?!

Ha ha! That's a weird name!

Shut up!!! I'm not that fond of it, either!

And so Goku and Bulma's quest to find the seven Dragon Balls began. What thrilling adventures lay ahead of them?

3. Master Roshi's Flying Nimbus, before the battle

28 lines

Goku and Bulma's mystical adventure was officially in full swing! Their mission: gather all seven Dragon Balls, curious orbs said to be capable of granting any single wish!

After a good night's sleep, Goku and Bulma were getting ready for their quest to find the remaining Dragon Balls. It was then that a lost turtle appeared before them.

F-Forgive me, but could you spare a cup of salt water?

And if you have some seaweed to go with it...

Beggars can't be choosers.

Whew! Thank you!

I should explain... I am a turtle.

Yeah, I can see that!

I got separated from every- one while I was gathering mushrooms, and I've been lost ever since...

I've been trying to find my way back to the sea for over a year now.

Goku (Kid)

Really?

Bulma (Youth)

The sea?! You've been going in the wrong direction!

Plus, it's quite a long trip for a turtle! I mean, it's about 75 miles to the south!

Did you say 75 miles?! Oh dear...

Goku (Kid)

How about we take you to this sea place you're talking about?

What?! Really?!

Bulma (Youth)

Wait a second! Are you crazy?!

We don't have time for that! Forget about him. He's not part of the plan!

Goku (Kid)

Fine, I'll go without you.

See if I care!

I don't ever want to see you again!

Goku (Kid)

Hang on tight!

Sorry for the trouble.

...Come to think of it, he does have one of the Dragon Balls.

I wonder if he'll come back here.

...

Wait! Don't go yet!

I decided to grace you with my presence!

4. Master Roshi's Flying Nimbus, after the battle

56 lines

Rock, paper, scissors... Rock!

Goku (Kid)

Okay, let's go!

W-W- Wow...

Are you really that strong? I mean, he...

Goku (Kid)

Do you really taste that good?

What?! No, of course I don't!

In fact, I'm rated zero on the flavor scale! Ha ha ha...

Goku (Kid)

Yeah, you do look like you'd taste gross.

Phew...

You've done it, lad! It's the sea!!!

No, no, argue all you wish... That IS the sea!

Bulma (Youth)

Who's arguing?

Goku (Kid)

Whoa! What a wide river!

You saved my life! Thank you so much!

Wait there. I want to thank you properly!

Goku (Kid)

Thank us?

Bulma (Youth)

We're not talking a treasure chest, are we?

After Goku and Bulma waited a while, Turtle returned with a funky old man riding on top of him. How exactly was Turtle planning to thank them?

Master Roshi

Hello there, kids!

I hear you saved Turtle here.

Goku (Kid)

Who're you, old timer?

Master Roshi

I am Master Roshi!

Bulma (Youth)

The Turtle Hermit?

Master Roshi

Which one of them saved you?

It was the little boy.

Master Roshi

I see, I see. Well done.

I'd like to thank you with a fabulous gift.

Goku (Kid)

A gift?

Master Roshi

Come to me, Flying Nimbus!

This is amazing! Thank you very much!

Master Roshi

Splendid. The kid's a natural.

Bulma (Youth)

Hey, hey! Gramps!

Give me one too!

Master Roshi

Hm?

Did the little lady help save you too?

Not in the least.

What?! I gave you some salt water, didn't I?

Master Roshi

Sorry, but there's only one Flying Nimbus.

I'd be happy to give you something else, but only if you show me your p-p-panties!

What?! Did you say my panties?!

Martial arts masters aren't supposed to act like that!

Oh, what's the harm?! Even martial arts masters want to see panties sometimes!

S-Sure... I guess I could do that.

Thanks to Bulma's generosity(?), Master Roshi had to think of another gift. But he was at a loss as to what to give.

Bulma (Youth)

Hey! Could I see that?

Master Roshi

Pretty, isn't it?

I found it on the ocean floor a hundred years or so ago and made it into a necklace.

Bulma (Youth)

Goku, look! Check it out!

Goku (Kid)

Hey! It's a Dragon Ball!

Master Roshi

Dragon Ball?

Goku (Kid)

It's got three stars in it! That makes it the Three-Star Ball!

This one would make four!

Bulma (Youth)

What luck! It would have been difficult finding that in the ocean!

You saved us the trouble! Can I have it?

Master Roshi

S-Sure. It's all yours.

With the fourth Dragon Ball in hand, Goku and Bulma set out once more to find the remaining ones...

5. Oolong the Terrible, before the battle

9 lines

Seeking the fifth Dragon Ball, Goku and Bulma arrived at a village in the west. But the villagers there were being tormented by a lecherous shape- shifting monster named Oolong.

In exchange for the Dragon Ball the villagers had, our heroes promised to defeat the shapeshifting monster Oolong. When Oolong finally appeared in the village, the battle was on...

Goku (Kid)

Okay, bring it!

Oolong

Heh heh heh... If you're gonna apologize, now's your chance, boy.

I am super scary! And really strong too!

Goku (Kid)

Shut up, already! If you wanna fight, then fight!

Oolong

Are you some kinda idiot?!

There's no way you'll win this! You're just gonna die!

Goku (Kid)

Whatever! Just hurry up and fight!

6. Oolong the Terrible, after the battle

25 lines
Goku (Kid)

Could it be you're... actually super weak?

Silence! I'm the strongest fighter on the face of the earth!

Goku (Kid)

Hmm... I doubt that.

What about you then? Well?!

You think you're strong?!

Goku (Kid)

Yeah! My grandpa taught me kung fu!

E-Eek! Time's almost up!

(gulp) Now it is!

Goku (Kid)

Wait, YOU'RE Oolong?!

Bulma (Youth)

This is his true form?!

Goku (Kid)

You better apologize.

S-Sorry...

After obtaining the Six-Star Ball, Goku and Bulma had five Dragon Balls in total. They resumed their journey in search of a sixth Dragon Ball, but for some reason, Oolong was tagging along with them!

Bulma (Youth)

Only two Dragon Balls left!

We've found them faster than I'd thought!

Goku (Kid)

But why do we have to bring Oolong?

That's what I'd like to know!

Bulma (Youth)

That transforming trick of his is pretty nifty!

I bet it'd be useful on our quest!

Pfft, tell it to someone who cares!

Quests are a huge hassle!

Bulma (Youth)

It's so hot today... I guess I'll have to sleep in just my undies tonight...

Huh?!

Well, I guess a quest isn't so bad once in a while.

And so Oolong joined Goku and Bulma on their quest to find the Dragon Balls. What adventures awaited the trio next?

7. Yamcha and Puar, before the battle

30 lines

In search of the sixth Dragon Ball, Goku and Bulma headed towards Fry-Pan Mountain in the southwest with Oolong reluctantly in tow. But there, they encountered the bandit Yamcha, who preyed on any who strayed into the wasteland!

Goku (Kid)

Who the heck are you?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Yamcha

Heh heh...

This wasteland is my home. The name's Yamcha the Hyena.

And my name is Puar!

Yamcha

It's not normally my style to pick on kids, but if you want to leave this waste- land alive, give me all your money and capsules!

Oolong

Puar!

You're Cry-Baby Puar, right?!

O-Oolong?!

Yamcha

You know him, Puar?

Yes! Oolong always used to bully me back when I attended the Shapeshifter School!

And he has a really dirty mind. He was expelled from school for stealing a teacher's panties!

Why, that no good... Why bring up garbage like that?

Yamcha

Well, none of that matters now...

Just hurry up and hand over your money and capsules!

Hey! You're a tough guy, right?! Like, really tough!

Goku (Kid)

Huh? Well, yeah, I am.

Oolong

Hmph! Yamcha, eh?! Well, we don't have any money or capsules to give you!

Get lost...before I completely lose it!

Yamcha

Well, I see...

Didn't realize you were in such a rush to meet your makers!

Yamcha, just take care of them already!

Oolong

Alright! The rest is up to you! Take care of him!

Goku (Kid)

Why should I "take care of him"? Is he a bad guy?

Didn't you hear what I said? Yes, he's bad. Very, VERY bad!

And he'll off us if you don't do something!

Yamcha

You really are dense.

You sure you can handle this?

Goku (Kid)

I'll take him out with my trusty Power Pole!

8. Yamcha and Puar, after the battle

19 lines
Yamcha

Grr... Damn you all!

Bulma (Youth)

Ugh... Quiet!!!

I can't sleep with all this noise!

Huh?

...

Puar... We're pulling out for now.

O-Okay!

Listen up! We WILL have your capsules!

Goku (Kid)

...Huh?

Wh-What?! What's wrong?!

Bulma (Youth)

Hey, hey. Who was that?

He's actually kinda cute...

...

Goku (Kid)

I'm hungry!

Dammit! I didn't notice there was a girl with them.

You certainly do have a weakness for women.

Th-This is bad. I get nervous around girls.

It's not that I don't like them. I just tend to lose my composure...

The trio somehow fought off the powerful Yamcha. But when he learned about the Dragon Balls, he secretly followed them, hoping to make his own wish come true. Would Goku and his friends be able to collect all the Dragon Balls!?

9. The Ox King on Fry-Pan Mountain, before the battle

14 lines

After barely fighting off Yamcha, the trio set off for Fry-Pan Mountain to find the sixth Dragon Ball. And then...

Oolong

Fry-Pan Mountain was originally called "Pleasant Mountain", and it lived up to its name. But about ten years ago...

...a fire spirit fell from the heavens, turning the mountain into a blazing inferno and causing the climate to change.

Yow! No wonder it's so hot!

Goku (Kid)

Whoa!

Oolong

Hey, let's forget about that place!

The Ox King's there too!

Bulma (Youth)

Who exactly is this Ox King guy?

Oolong

Let's just say he's terrifying. So terrifying, they call him the Demon Emperor!

Goku (Kid)

Is the Ox King inside that castle?

Oolong

No, he guards the castle from the foot of the mountain!

It's all 'cause the mountain first caught fire while he was on a picnic with his kid, see?

Bulma (Youth)

Hmm, the castle, eh...

According to the radar, there's a Dragon Ball in there for sure...

10. The Ox King on Fry-Pan Mountain, after the battle

46 lines

I-It's no use...

Enough already, Goku! There's no beating the Ox King!

Goku (Kid)

He really IS strong...

Ox King

Is that there a Flying Nimbus?!

Well?! Who'd you get it from?!

Goku (Kid)

I got it from Master Roshi!

Ox King

Master Roshi?! The Turtle Hermit?!

Do you know where the Turtle Hermit lives?!

Goku (Kid)

By "Turtle Hermit", you mean Master Roshi?

We know roughly where he is, right?

I-It's gotta be close to the beach we were on...

Ox King

Oh boy, oh boy! I can finally go back to my castle!

Hm?! Th-That staff you have there. Isn't that a Power Pole?

Goku (Kid)

You sure know your stuff, pops.

That's right! I got it from my grandpa!

Ox King

Your grandpa?! You mean Gohan?!

Goku (Kid)

Yeah!

Ox King

Well now! This is a shocker!

You must be Gohan's grandson!

Goku (Kid)

You know Grandpa?!

Ox King

Course I know him. Master Roshi's #2 student was me, and #1 was your grandpa!

Goku (Kid)

Wait, no way!

I'm guessing you're stronger than I thought, Goku.

Wait, so you're saying that lecherous Master Roshi is really THAT amazing?

Ox King

Anyway! This ain't no time to be gettin' all nostalgic!

I got a job for you!

Goku (Kid)

What?

Ox King

They say Master Roshi's Bansho Fan can put out the fire on this mountain.

Would you mind using your Flying Nimbus to flit on over there to borrow it?

Goku (Kid)

Sure! In return, can we have your Dragon Ball?

Ox King

What the heck's a Dragon Ball?

It looks like this.

I think you have one in your castle.

Ox King

Yeah, now that you mention it, I think I've seen it.

Okay, it's a deal! You can have it!

Goku (Kid)

Yes!

Bulma (Youth)

Hurray!

Phew... The kid saved my bacon.

Goku (Kid)

Okay, I'll be back in a jiffy!

Ox King

Ah! Hold on!

I sent my only daughter, Chi-Chi, to find Master Roshi and retrieve the fan for me.

Goku (Kid)

Chi-Chi?

Ox King

She's on her way there now, so find her for me and take her with you.

She may be timid, but she's a lovely lass! You can take her as your wife if you want!

Goku (Kid)

What's a "wife"?

Shocking facts and unexpected truths continue to surface. Can Goku extinguish the blaze on Fry-Pan Mountain and find the sixth Dragon Ball?!

11. Master Roshi's Kamehameha, before the battle

24 lines

Within the raging flames of Fry-Pan Mountain lies the sixth Dragon Ball. But the only way to extinguish the fire is with Master Roshi's Bansho Fan. So it was that the Ox King asked Goku to go fetch the fan along with his daughter, Chi-Chi.

Goku (Kid)

Hey, is your name Chi-Chi?

Chi-Chi (Kid)

I-It is, but... Who are you?!

Goku (Kid)

You're the Ox King's daughter, right?

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Huh?! You know my father?!

Goku (Kid)

Yeah, your old man asked me to do him a favor.

I'm supposed to go borrow the Bansho Fan for him.

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Oh my! Really?!

Goku (Kid)

Come on. Get on my Flying Nimbus, and I'll take you there!

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Are you saying we can ride that cotton candy-looking thing?

Goku (Kid)

Yeah... So long as your heart is pure, that is.

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Then I'm good to go! My heart's as squeaky pure as a freshly scrubbed toilet!

Oomph...

Trying to climb onto the Flying Nimbus, Chi-Chi grabbed Goku's tail to hoist herself up... At that moment, however, Goku simply lost all his strength and fell from the cloud...

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Huh? Wh-What happened?

Don't squeeze my tail, will ya...?

It makes me lose my strength...

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Well, what're you doin' with a tail, anyway?!

Goku (Kid)

I can't help havin' what I have, can I?

Yamcha

Heh heh heh... Lucky I overheard that...

His weak spot is his tail!!!

Victory is surely ours!!!

Goku (Kid)

Hang on tight! Let's go!

After their fateful meeting, Goku and Chi-Chi set off to see Master Roshi. But would they be able to borrow the Bansho Fan without incident?

12. Master Roshi's Kamehameha, after the battle

56 lines
Chi-Chi (Kid)

Hmph... No way he's Master Roshi!

Why, you! Even I can't evade that with no warning!

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Then I want some proof that you really are who you say you are!

Master Roshi

Look! See the name on my driver's license?

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Oh no! What have I done?!

I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?

Master Roshi

Anyways... So you two...

What brings you all the way here?

Goku (Kid)

Ah! I nearly forgot!

Master Roshi, do you have something called the Bansho Fan?

Master Roshi

What? The Bansho Fan?!

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Lemme borrow it! We gotta extinguish the flames on Fry-Pan Mountain!

The Bansho Fan was the last hope to extinguish the fire on Fry-Pan Mountain, but Master Roshi had been using it as a trivet and thrown it away... Just then, he announced he would head to Fry-Pan Mountain and extinguish the fire himself!

Master Roshi

So this is Fry-Pan Mountain... It's really something.

Goku (Kid)

Can you really put that fire out?

Master Roshi

Ox King! Getting a bad rep lately, eh...?

Those treasures of yours cost a few lives, I hear...

Hah hah hah! Y-Y-You speak truly!!!

Oh, the shame I bear! I-I-I have been blinded by greed!!!

W-Whoa... The Ox King actually apologized.

Master Roshi

At any rate, how pitiful that you couldn't extinguish a piddling fire like this.

Let's see here...

Here it comes! Master Roshi's Kamehameha!!!

Master Roshi

Ka...me... ha...me... HA!!!

Whew... See? The fire is all gone.

Th-That was... amazing...

Umm... Master Roshi. The fire is out, but...

What happened to the mountain and my castle?

Waah!!! They're gone!!!

...

Looks like I got carried away! Oops!

Goku (Kid)

That was cool!

Teach me how, will you?

Master Roshi

Ha ha ha! Dream on, lad!

It takes fifty years of hard trainin' to learn that!

Goku (Kid)

Fifty years, huh? Hmm...

...

Haaa!

I-I... did it...

Nowhere as good as his, though...

Ox King

I-I'm speechless... I guess you really ARE Gohan's grandson!

Master Roshi

What?! Gohan? As in Son Gohan?!

Ox King

Huh? You mean you didn't know?

Master Roshi

Come to think of it, Gohan did once mention he found some kid with a tail and raised him.

Tell me, kid, is your grandpa doing well?

Goku (Kid)

Actually, Grandpa died a long time ago.

Master Roshi

What?! The world has lost a great man...

Would you like to come live with me? With enough training, you might even surpass me someday.

Goku (Kid)

Really?! I'll head right over as soon as we find all the Dragon Balls!

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Hey, Goku...?

When we're older, I bet my father would give you my hand.

Goku (Kid)

Huh? He's gonna give me something?

Chi-Chi (Kid)

Oh, come on! Don't play dumb!

Goku (Kid)

I don't really get it, but I'll take whatever he wants to give me!

Chi-Chi (Kid)

I'll hold you to that!

Goku and company found the sixth Dragon Ball, the Seven-Star Ball, in Ox King's castle after the fire was put out. It was time to say farewell to Fry-Pan Mountain. Only the One-Star Ball remained! Soon they would have their wish granted!

13. The Bizarre Rabbit Mob!, before the battle

10 lines

There was only one Dragon Ball left! Our heroes headed west in search of the last one, stopping at a town along the way to refuel. But there they encountered some shady characters wearing rabbit ears...

Bulma (Youth)

Who are you people?

ウサギ団団員B

Well, whadda we have here?

Don't tell me you folks have never even heard of the fearsome Rabbit Mob?

ウサギ団団員A

You must be new in town.

Bulma (Youth)

Sorry guys, but we're on a tight schedule.

ウサギ団団員A

Well now. We got a feisty one here.

You got a death wish or what?

Bulma (Youth)

Goku, why don't you teach these bad guys a lesson?

Goku (Kid)

Will do.

14. The Bizarre Rabbit Mob!, after the battle

8 lines

Monster Carrot had a terrifying ability that could turn his victims into carrots by touch. With Bulma turned into a carrot and taken hostage, Goku's back was against the wall. But with Yamcha and Puar's help, they managed to defeat the Rabbit Mob.

Ow-ow-ow...

Where am I? What happened?

Goku (Kid)

Yamcha and Puar saved the day!

Bulma (Youth)

Him?! That hunk?! Where is he?!

Goku (Kid)

Huh? They were just here...

That was a close call! After all, I pass out around girls!

Out of the frying pan, into the fire... After putting the Rabbit Mob in their place, our heroes once again headed west in search of the final Dragon Ball.

15. Wish Upon an Eternal Dragon, before the battle

34 lines

There was just one Dragon Ball left! According to the radar, the One-Star Ball was close at hand. But as our heroes headed off to find it, they were being watched by a mysterious stranger...

Fusion Machine Pilaf

Lord Pilaf.

A car just passed by.

Okay! That must be them! Commence the operation!

Fusion Machine Pilaf

Roger that!

Shu! Can you see the car?

Yeah, I see it!

They're the one's that have them.

The Dragon Balls!

Bulma (Youth)

Hmm... We're getting pretty close!

Oolong

Oh. While we're on the subject, Bulma...

Once we get all seven Dragon Balls, what're you gonna wish for?

Bulma (Youth)

Hee hee. Did I never say?

A boyfriend, duh. An ideal boyfriend!

A boyfriend?! Oh, geez!

You mean we've been risking our necks for that pointless waste of a wish?!

Bulma (Youth)

Waste?

Hmph. It may seem like that to a CHILD like you!

Oolong

And after all that trouble we've gone through to collect the Dragon Balls!

You couldn't wish for something cooler?

Bulma (Youth)

Shut up! Mind your own business!

Besides, it's not like you were much help!

Wh-Wha?!

Ah! That startled me!

Eek!

Who's that?!

Fusion Machine Pilaf

There they are!

Sorry, but those Dragon Balls are mine now!

Huh?!

Fusion Machine Pilaf

See ya!

Goku (Kid)

What a weirdo...

After him, quick!

He just stole the Dragon Balls!

Goku (Kid)

Right!

16. Wish Upon an Eternal Dragon, after the battle

21 lines

Pilaf, a rogue with plans for world domination, was behind the theft. Together with Yamcha and Puar, our heroes infiltrated Pilaf's castle to recover the Dragon Balls, but they fell into a trap and were captured. Even Goku's Four-Star Ball, which he carried on his person at all times, was taken from him!

With all seven Dragon Balls in his clutches, Pilaf was ready to summon Shenron to grant his wish for world domination! Was the world doomed to fall into Pilaf's hands?!

Fusion Machine Pilaf

Alright!

And now to finally summon the mighty dragon god...

He beat us to the punch!

Fusion Machine Pilaf

Come forth, dragon!

Grant me my wish!

State your wish. I shall grant any one desire.

Dammit!

The world's gonna be at that jerk's mercy?!

Goku (Kid)

Wow... He's huuuge! So that's the dragon!

After all that! We were so close!

Fusion Machine Pilaf

A-Ahem! Here's my wish!

I-I wish to rule the wor-

Oolong

Wait a sec. All I have to do is say what I want first!

Your wish is granted. Farewell.

Ah! Waaah!

Oolong

Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh...

Yamcha

That idiot did it!

Bulma (Youth)

That pervert Oolong actually delivered!

Oolong had saved the world, and got his wish granted to boot! But our heroes were still imprisoned in the castle. Enraged that his plan was foiled, Pilaf began exacting his vengeance!

17. Goku's Great Transformation, before the battle

54 lines

Pilaf's plan for world domination was thwarted, but the Dragon Balls were scattered to the wind. Even worse, Goku and company were still imprisoned in the castle. Would there be any escape?!

The Dragon Balls flew off in every direction!

Once a wish is granted, they scatter to the four winds.

You mean the ball my grandpa left me took off too?!

Unfortunately, yes.

Dang it! If we don't find a way outta here somehow...

...never mind finding the Dragon Balls, we won't make it out of here alive!

We can't gather them again for a while anyway...

Huh?

Once a wish is granted, it supposedly takes at least a year for them to become Dragon Balls again...

Until then, they're just plain old stones. And they won't appear on the radar.

A-A whole... year?!

I have to spend another year being terrified of girls!

This won't do...

Huh? What are you doing, Puar?

I'm looking at the moon. It's so beautiful when it's full.

I want to see something beautiful before I die.

Don't say that! It's bad luck!

A full moon, huh?

A horrible monster comes when the moon's full, you know!

Oh, yeah, right... A werewolf, I'll bet.

Stop joking around and figure out how to get us out of here!

I'm telling the truth!

That monster flattened my grandpa like a pancake. That's how he died!

What?! The great martial artist Gohan?!

Th-That's gotta be some fearsome monster.

He is! He tore apart my house! And the trees! Everything!

What kind of monster was it?

I was sleeping, so I never saw it.

You slept through your house being wrecked?!

What are you made of, anyway?

Grandpa always told me...

"Never look at the full moon, boy."

...

I-It c-can't b-be...

C-Can I ask you a little something?

Th-The night your grandpa was flattened, d-did you look at the full moon?

Well, yeah!

He told me not to look, but when I went outside to take a leak, I couldn't help it.

Wh-What do you think?

I-I-I had a feeling he's not an ordinary k-k-kid...!

B-But...that would mean...

I-It...c-c-could be just coincidence... C-Couldn't it...!?

L-Let's give it a try.

If we make him look at the moon, then we'll know for sure.

B-But what if it's actually true?

Won't we be in danger?

Oh, yeah! I hadn't thought of that.

Let's not chance it.

We can't let him see the full moon!

Hey, Goku! Whatever you do, don't look at the full moon! Got it?!

Huh?

Goku (Kid)

Groooooooar!

G-Goku?!

18. Goku's Great Transformation, after the battle

45 lines

Goku ran amok after the full moon turned him into a monstrous ape! But just in the nick of time, Puar turned into a pair of scissors, and Yamcha used them to cut off Goku's tail, causing him to revert to his normal form. And then...

Yamcha

Sheesh... It's morning already.

Bah, Goku really put us through hell.

Yamcha

Don't say that. He was the one who saved us.

Bulma (Youth)

I don't think we should tell him he's the one who flattened his grandpa.

Oolong

Anyway, what the heck is he? Some kinda space alien?

Yamcha

Now that we cut his tail off, he won't turn into that monster ever again.

Ooh...

Oolong

Look! He's awake!

And so Goku woke up, and the quest for the Dragon Balls drew to an end. It had been a real rollercoaster, but it was time for our heroes to say their goodbyes...

Goku (Kid)

I can barely stand up.

Yamcha

Your center of balance is different without your tail.

But I'm sure you'll get used to it.

Goku (Kid)

Huh? My tail? Ah! I-It's gone!

Oh well!

You really are an easygoing fellow.

Bulma (Youth)

Hey, Goku. We've decided to go to the city!

Yamcha

Ha ha ha...

Bulma (Youth)

Wanna come? The girls will love you 'cause you're so cute!

Goku (Kid)

I'm gonna go train with Master Roshi!

And I'm gonna keep training till I'm super strong!

Bulma (Youth)

Oh, that's too bad. How about you, Oolong?

Oolong

Are there really lots of girls there?

Bulma (Youth)

Sure there are. But you're a pervy jerk, so they're gonna hate you.

Who asked you, anyway?!

But I might as well tag along!

Goku (Kid)

Let's try collecting the Dragon Balls again in a year!

Bulma (Youth)

Hee hee hee. I'm done with the Dragon Balls!

Yamcha

Me too.

Goku (Kid)

Then how am I supposed to find Grandpa's keepsake Dragon Ball?

I don't know where to start.

Bulma (Youth)

Simple. I'll give you the Dragon Radar!

Wait a year, and press right here. I bet the radar will show something!

Goku (Kid)

Wow, thanks!

Yamcha

Well, let's go!

See you, Goku. Become a stronger martial artist than even Master Roshi!

Goku (Kid)

You bet!

Bulma (Youth)

We'll all come visit someday!

Oolong

Take care, Goku.

Goku (Kid)

You too, Oolong!

Bye! See ya 'round!

Bulma (Youth)

Buh-bye!

Goku (Kid)

Boy! There're lots of nice people out there!

This is gonna be fun!!!

Having said his goodbyes to Bulma and company, Goku hopped on the Flying Nimbus and flew off to see Master Roshi. What sort of training and new adventures await our young hero?
