Tale of Super Warriors [Dragon Ball Edition]

Sparked by a chance meeting, so began the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls... Having journeyed to a village in the west searching for the Dragon Balls, Goku and Bulma promised the villagers to help defeat the nefarious monster Oolong in exchange for the Six-Star Ball.

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

What about you then? Well?!

You think you're strong?!

E-Eek! Time's almost up!

(gulp) Now it is!

Goku and Bulma obtained the Six-Star Ball after fulfilling their promise to the villagers. Turning a new leaf after his defeat, Oolong joined them. And so the journey to gather all the Dragon Balls continued...

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. Goku and Bulma, now joined by Oolong, found themselves in the wastelands. There they encountered Yamcha and Puar, bandits who preyed on lost travelers...

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

Yamcha, just take care of them already!

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

He's here to kill us!

You sure you can handle this?

...

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

O-Okay!

Listen up! We WILL have your capsules!

Wh-What?! What's wrong?!

Yamcha had a weakness. He was awkward around girls! So he got all flustered and ran off when he saw Bulma... After fighting off the formidable Yamcha, Goku and company resumed their quest for the Dragon Balls...

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. Bulma and company's Dragon Balls had been stolen by Pilaf, who was bent on world domination. With all seven Dragon Balls in hand, Pilaf was finally able to summon Shenron...

State your wish. I shall grant any one desire.

The panties off a hot babe!

Oolong thwarted Pilaf's world domination by interrupting him with his own wish! In a fit of rage, Pilaf punished Goku and company by locking them up in his prison. But when the full moon shone on Goku through the prison window, something astonishing happened!

Hey, the cell's been breached! We can escape!

Goku! That's enough! You can change back now! H-Hey!!!

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...

In his quest for the Dragon Balls, Goku had met new friends and discovered just how vast the world was. But Goku's adventures in pursuit of strength and excitement had only just begun!

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. The final match of the 21st World Tournament was between Goku and Jackie Chun, who was actually Master Roshi in disguise, intent on promoting the further growth of his students...

This battle has dragged on far too long, pushing both contestants to the very edge of their limits!

Who will reign supreme?!

No way I'm losing! Bring it!

Alright then. You asked for it!

We have a winner! Jackie Chun is our new champion!

That was definitely a match for the ages!

We were just graced with an epic battle worthy of the World Tournament!

Huh?

I guess I must've lost, huh...

Really? That's too bad.

Hey, will you fight me again after I do some more training?

Master Roshi, in the guise of Jackie Chun, had defeated Goku. The loss taught Goku many things, including that there is always someone stronger out there...

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. Goku had ventured forth to find his Grandpa's keepsake, the Four-Star Ball. However, his quest turned into an epic battle when the evil Red Ribbon Army, who were also after the Dragon Balls, set their sights on him...

General White, stop being bad.

Goku had befriended Android #8 during his battle against the Red Ribbon Army. Together, they pushed on through Muscle Tower, the enemy's base. But in a dastardly move, General White shot Goku from behind when he wasn't looking.

Goku!!!

Goku! Are you all right? You're not dead, are you?

Goku continued his quest for the Four-Star Ball, smacking down the Red Ribbon Army barring his way. But they only ramped up their attacks in a bid to take Goku down...

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. The infamous Red Ribbon Army assassin, Mercenary Tao, had defeated Goku and stolen the Dragon Balls. In a bid to defeat Tao, Goku climbed Korin's Tower in search of the Sacred Water that was said to multiply one's strength...

You really are something else... You only took three days.

What're ya waiting for? Bottoms up!

Why would you?

The Sacred Water is just plain old water.

What?!

Hey, that's not fair! You tricked me!

Nya-ha-ha! It was no trick!

For your power has already multiplied many times over!

Has it finally sunk in?

Reaching the top of my tower and snatching the bottle from my grasp...

...has trained you to become many times more powerful in all different ways!

Now, go back down and test the fruits of your training!

I cut you a break and suddenly you get big-headed!

Die! Dodon Ray!

Bring it! I'll take all ya got!!!

It... It can't be!

How could my Dodon Ray... not have...

Goku repelled Mercenary Tao's Dodon Ray, demonstrating the fruits of Korin's training! Out of options, Tao fought back with weapons but was ultimately defeated when Goku kicked the assassin's bomb back at him...

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. After destroying the Red Ribbon Army, Goku headed to Baba's palace to learn the where- abouts of the last Dragon Ball. Little did he know a fight against a mysterious masked man awaited him...

Heh heh heh...

Nah, I'm not tired, but...

That guy kinda... smells nice...

No, not like that...

I can't explain it, but... It's a happy smell...

In the unlikely event that Goku manages to win, I'll reveal to you the location of the final Dragon Ball.

Let the fight commence!

...

Come at me!

Goku won! ...Or so it seemed, but the next instant, the masked man grabbed hold of Goku's tail, his greatest weakness! The masked man had the weakened Goku on the ropes. However...

O-Oww!

Wh-Whoops! His tail came clean off in my hands!

...

Heh heh heh. I surrender.

The match is yours.

Well, phooey. I guess that's it...

You've gotten quite strong, Goku.

Your training has brought you far.

Unfortunately, you never managed to overcome your weakness.

I always told you to watch out for your tail.

My my... How embarrassing... It took you this long to figure it out?

That's right, lad. It's me.

In a shocking turn of events, the masked man turned out to be the late Gohan, Goku's grandpa! He had enlisted Baba's aid to return to the living for just one day in order to fight Goku...

Likewise!

Well then, until we meet again...

Satisfied with Goku's progress, Gohan returned to the Otherworld. After winning the match, Goku had Baba locate the last Dragon Ball for him, which he was finally able to obtain. So Goku completed his quest for the Dragon Balls and embarked on a new journey to train for the World Tournament...

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. After three years of training, Goku and company entered the World Tournament once more! But in a stunning development, Goku and Krillin ended up facing each other in the semifinals!

Come to think of it, this is the first time we're facing each other in an official fight!

I'm totally pumped!

I'm gonna give it my best shot, you do too, ok, Krillin?

Facing Goku, who had grown unbelievably strong over the past three years, Krillin realized he didn't stand a chance in a straight- forward fight. So, switching tactics, he used his wits instead. Firing off a Kamehameha as a decoy, Krillin managed to grab hold of Goku's tail, his weak spot! However...

Hee hee hee!

Sorry to disappoint you!

I trained my tail as hard as I could for three years!

Now I'm perfectly fine when someone grabs it!

It was some seriously tough training!

Goku overcame his weakness to become even stronger! After winning the match by knocking Krillin out of the ring, he advanced to the finals of the 22nd World Tournament...

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. The finals of the 22nd World Tournament were underway. Through his battles with Master Roshi and Goku, the evil within Tien started to fade. Betraying his master, Shen, Tien faced Goku as a true martial artist...

Hey, you turned into a good guy!

Tien's plan was to destroy the tournament stage with his Tri-Beam and make Goku lose by a ring-out! But Goku instinctively leaped into the air, leading to a match-ending aerial battle in which Tien emerged victorious by the slimmest of margins! And so Tien claimed the title of champion at the 22nd World Tournament.

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. Demon King Piccolo, who once plunged the world into terror long ago, was resurrected! In response to the growing threat of the demon race, Master Roshi risked his life by challenging the Demon King...

H-Huh?!

I-It can't be...

Ah... Ah...!!!

Evil Containment Wave!

Oh no... I really botched that... I missed...

(pant, pant)

But don't think for a moment...that you can...relax now...

Someday, someone somewhere...WILL save the world by defeating you...

The one technique that Demon King Piccolo feared was the Evil Containment Wave. In an attempt to trap him, Master Roshi unleashed the mighty technique but failed, losing his life in the process...

I have claimed all seven Dragon Balls!

At last, the wondrous power of my youth shall be restored!

Using the Dragon Balls, Demon King Piccolo summoned Shenron to restore his youth and power! Now that he gained invincible strength, was there no one left to stop him?

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. After his defeat by Demon King Piccolo, Goku visited Korin and decided to drink the Sacred Water. It was said that those who can withstand the water's toxic effect would unlock hidden power...

Ah!

Just now... I could've sworn I saw the power hidden within you, and it was tremendous.

M-My power...

I'm overflowing with power!

Extraordinary! This is extra- ordinary, Goku!

I feel like a different person. Wh-What a strange feeling...

I feel so powerful, yet for some reason, my mind is really calm...

Th-This is nothing short of...astonishing...

H-He has developed into something I never could have imagined.

...

I'm picking up a really strange aura. Demon King Piccolo must be over that way.

Are you telling me you can sense that?!

I'll go get rid of him!

I have a feeling that I'm gonna win this time!

Indeed. I'd put my money on you.

Good luck!

Thanks!

With his youth restored, Demon King Piccolo seized the king's castle and wreaked havoc across the land. And so began Goku's epic struggle to crush the brutal tyrant's evil ambitions...

In the wasteland that was once the King's castle, Goku and Demon King Piccolo fought a fierce battle to the death. Amid a grueling struggle that sapped their strength and ki, Goku collapsed after suffering devastating blows to his arm and legs. Was this to be the end of our brave hero?

I'll put everything I've got into this punch!

Haaaaaaaah!

At long last, Demon King Piccolo was defeated by a mighty blow from Goku. Goku had emerged victorious after a fierce battle to the death. However...

My son... Avenge your father someday, and destroy my enemies!

The root of evil must not be allowed to wither...

Right before he died, Demon King Piccolo belched forth an egg that would bring forth a son to avenge him. And so it would be another three years before the score between Goku and Piccolo could be finally settled...at the World Tournament!

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. Goku entered the World Tournament to settle the score with the reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo. In his first match, his opponent was a mysterious female martial artist who, for some reason, knew all about Goku...

Hand?! Krillin! What's she mean?!

You idiot! Taking her hand means you're gonna marry her!

Darn it, Goku! When did you promise to marry such a cutie?!

Marriage means living together with that person forever!

You promised without knowing that?

Living together?! Me and you?! I promised that?!

Please tell me! Tell me who you are!

Shoot! I think I might have put too much into it!

Hey! Hang in there! Are you all right?

Chi-Chi! Hey!

I remember now! Back when we were kids, I did say I'd ask for your hand!

We'd better get married!

Okay!

My goodness! Goku has just agreed to marry his opponent!

This is the most exciting occurrence since the World Tournament began!

Fulfilling a promise from their youth, Goku and Chi-Chi announced their marriage. However, the blissful mood was not to last. Goku still had the semifinals and then his match against Piccolo Jr. to contend with!

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. Concealing his true power, the reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr., advanced to the semifinals where his opponent was none other than Kami, who had descended to Earth in human form...

He has grown far more formidable. There is no comparison between us, what with me borrowing this weak human body.

You would kill yourself to defeat me?!

Wh-What...?!

D-Don't tell me...!

Evil Containment Wave!

The technique Kami unleashed in a bid to defeat Piccolo was none other than the legendary Evil Containment Wave! But Piccolo had learned how to counter it. In a shocking twist, Piccolo reflected the wave back at Kami, sealing him inside the small bottle!

Piccolo advanced to the final round boasting a dreadful power that could overwhelm even Kami. His opponent in the finals was none other than his archenemy, Goku! Who would emerge victorious and stand at the pinnacle of the World Tournament?!

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. Goku vs. Piccolo! The two archenemies would clash in the final showdown to settle their three-year battle! Who would claim victory? And what fate awaited the world...?

Goku and Piccolo's battle was one for the ages, pushing them both to their absolute limits. After rescuing Kami, Goku was finally able to focus on fighting with all his might. However, Piccolo launched a surprise attack that immobilized Goku's arms and legs. He then unleashed a merciless finishing blow upon his helpless foe. When the smoke cleared, Goku was nowhere to be seen...

Goku is dead! Victory's mine!

Now I can once again bring about a world of evil and terror!

Damn monster...

How dare you do that to Goku...

Wh-What did he just say?!

Hm?

Is something wrong, Krillin?

Tien, you have sharp eyes.

Is that who I think it is?

I told you... I won't lose!!!

Goku has won! Goku is the winner of this year's World Tournament!

Goku finally achieved his long-held dream of winning the World Tournament! What's more, his victory against the Demon King Piccolo meant that Earth was saved once more! However, Goku did some- thing quite unexpected: he gave the collapsed Piccolo a Senzu Bean.

Of course! How could I forget? Goku's a newlywed, isn't he!

Are you serious?! No way!

I'd die of boredom if I had to stay in a place like that forever!

Huh?!

See ya, everyone! 'Til next time!

Alright!

After securing victory in the World Tournament and peace on Earth, Goku headed off for fresh adventures with his new wife Chi-Chi! What exciting tales awaited the happy couple?

Sparked by a chance meeting, the tale of the seven mystical Dragon Balls continued. After bidding farewell to their friends, Goku and Chi-Chi returned to Fry-Pan Mountain, where the Ox King lived. Upon reuniting with the Ox King, the discussion quickly turned to holding a wedding ceremony for the newly engaged couple...

Chi-Chi, I have some- thing to show you. It's the wedding dress your mama wore...

...when we got married. It's a memento of her.

I wanted you to wear this when you finally got married.

And so, Goku and Chi-Chi's wedding was decided! However, not long after, the castle was engulfed in flames, trapping the Ox King inside!

Goku and Chi-Chi set off on a quest to find something that could extinguish the fire, but they soon discovered the source, the Magical Furnace on Mount Five Element. And so the two rushed to speak with Taijoro, the keeper of the furnace...

Who goes there?!

I don't believe it... Is that you, Goku?!

Wow, you're so big!

Of course I am! I'm dead, after all.

Oh, who is this lovely companion?

And I'm Gohan. I didn't think you'd ever marry, my boy!

Is the Ox King in good health?

It is?! Now this is all very sudden!

Don't spout such nonsense, my boy!

I'm just working here part-time.

Watch your mouth, Goku! Show some respect to Lady Taijoro!

Gohaaaan!

Yes, my grandson is here, you see.

This is the keeper of the Magical Furnace, Lady Annin, also known as Taijoro!

I am employed as her doorkeeper.

I get it now... The Ox King's castle is located right under the furnace...!

Annin, now in her giant form, pushed Goku into a corner! Unsure of what to do, Goku pulled out the Bansho Fan to combat her... However, Annin's response was unexpected.

The various implements Goku and Chi-Chi had acquired on their quest turned out to be just what they needed to fix the Magical Furnace. Working together, Goku and Annin managed to seal the hole in the furnace. At long last, the flames that engulfed the Ox King's castle had been extinguished...

Live a happy life, Goku.

With the fire finally gone, Goku and Chi-Chi returned to Fry-Pan Mountain. The Ox King was safe and sound, as was the wedding dress he'd fought to protect. Soon after...

Chi-Chi... You look beautiful!

Just as beautiful as your mama!

Thank you so much for the wedding dress, Papa! I'll never forget this day!

You don't need to worry about me, okay?
