1. Quest for the Dragon Balls, before the battle
75 linesOn faraway Mount Paozu, thousands of miles from the big city... Our fantastical story begins with a chance encounter between a boy and a girl.
I'll teach you a lesson, monster!
N-No! Wait!
I-I am NOT a monster! I'm a human being!
Huh?! A human?! You are?!
Look! I'm just like you. You see?
Nah. I don't think so.
You look all thin and scrawny.
Well, that's not my fault! You're a boy!
I look delicate 'cause I'm a girl!
A girl?
You're a girl!?
Well, of course I am, dummy!
You've never seen a girl before?
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.
See? You're supposed to be nice to me!
Ha ha! So girls don't have tails then?
W-Waaaagh!
You...You have a tail?!
You really don't have one?!
All boys have them!
They do? Really?!
Come over to my house.
I'll treat you to a feast! Girls like feasts, right?
Grandpa, I'm home!
Grandpa, look! A girl! A girl's here!
Hey! A Dragon Ball!
Just like the radar said! I knew it had to be nearby!
Hands off! That's my grandpa's keepsake!
I don't care if you're a girl, you can't touch it!
I wasn't gonna show you this, but oh well...
Ta-dah! Look!
Woah! No way!
You've got TWO grandpas?!
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.
Grandpa's has four stars!
That means it's the Four-Star Ball.
I've found the Two-Star Ball and the Five-Star Ball already!
Really? But why are you looking for them?
Are you kidding me?!
If you collect all seven, something amazing happens!
If you collect all seven and chant the sacred words... ...Shenron, the dragon god, will appear and grant any wish you want!
Really?! That's amazing!
They say that someone who collected them all in the past became a king.
Being king's not bad, but I already know what I'm wishing for!
What?
Well, at first, I wanted a lifetime supply of strawberries, but...
What I really want is an ideal boyfriend!
What's a "boyfriend"?
...Never mind. Just give me that Four-Star Ball you have there!
No way!
It was my grandpa's! Mitts off!
Tsk! Don't be so stingy!
You don't even have any use for it!
You can't have it!
Fine, then help me find the other Dragon Balls! I mean, it's not like you're busy doing anything, right?
A real man would travel far and wide to train!
Train, huh?
Besides, didn't your grandpa tell you to be nice to girls?
Hmm... Fine!
But I'm not gonna give you this ball!
Suit yourself! I just need to borrow it for a second when we're done.
I guess that'd be all right.
Then let's set off on our delightful adventure!
By the way, I'm Goku!
What's your name?
...
Bulma...
Bulma?!
Ha ha! That's a weird name!
Shut up!!! I'm not that fond of it, either!
Now come on already!
And so Goku and Bulma's quest to find the seven Dragon Balls began. What thrilling adventures lie ahead?
2. Quest for the Dragon Balls, after the battle
21 linesYou know what? I don't think you're as strong as you say you are.
Silence! I'm the strongest fighter on the face of the earth!
Hmm... I doubt that.
Hey!
What about you then? You think you're strong?!
Yeah! My grandpa taught me kung fu!
...
I'm outta here!
What?
Oh no! Has it been five minutes already?!
Another transformation?! Hard to keep track of this guy.
This isn't a transformation! This is the real me, Oolong!
So that's what you look like...
Hold on to your hat! I'll have you know I can transform once every five minutes!
Not impressed. That's just dumb.
To think that monster was actually this pipsqueak all along...
Their quest was just beginning, but Goku had already managed to defeat Oolong, a mutating monster that had attacked them out of nowhere. Meanwhile...
Oh! Look, Yamcha! Easy pickings!
Haven't had any prey in a while, heh heh...
Okay, Puar! Prepare the Jet Squirrel!
With Oolong defeated, Goku and Bulma were enjoying a moment of peace... Until a new threat reared its ugly head! Was a new violent clash inevitable?!
3. Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire, before the battle
18 linesGoku and Bulma's quest for the Dragon Balls had only just begun... But already, they were being attacked by foes left and right. Was this a sign of the tough road ahead?!
W-Waaaagh!
Huh?! Who just did that?!
That would be me!
Not that it's a good look picking on a child...
But if you want to leave this wasteland alive, give me all your money and capsules!
Yeah, hand 'em over!
Huh? Who're you guys?
Ah, Puar!
You're Cry-Baby Puar, right?!
Oolong?!
You know him, Puar?
Yes! Oolong always used to bully me back when I attended the Shapeshifting 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?
But whatever.
Just hurry up and hand over your money and capsules!
No way in hell!
4. Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire, after the battle
17 linesCome on! Is that all you've got?!
Wh- Why you little...
Ouch... Today's just been awful.
A girl?!
Huh?
...!
P-Puar! Enough for now! Let's go!
Right!
Hey! You gonna run away?!
Listen up! We WILL have your capsules!
Hey, hey. Who was that?! He's actually kinda cute.
Hmph! He's the one who fired that missile!
Oh, really?
Yamcha was a formidable foe capable of using the Wolf Fang Fist, but for some reason, he got all flustered and ran off when he saw Bulma...
To think you'd meet a girl you couldn't handle...
My reputation as Great Bandit of the Wasteland will be ruined if I don't do something...
I...I won't forget this!
5. Showdown at Muscle Tower, before the battle
16 linesGoku and Bulma resumed their journey to find the Dragon Balls, this time with their new comrade, Oolong... They had found the One- Star Ball on their travels, bringing their total to four Dragon Balls so far. But where could that fifth ball be?
You really think there's a Dragon Ball here?
I'm positive! It's right here on the Dragon Radar!
Welcome to Muscle Tower!
Now, hand over your Dragon Balls!
We know you have them!
I know you lot! You're the Red Ribbon Army!
R-R...Red Ribbon Army? The group infamous for heinous and inhuman acts?
We've heard all about you guys!
And none of it's any good!
Good! That'll speed things up! I'll have those Dragon Balls now!
No one's handing anything over to you people!
Goku, please! Teach these jerks a lesson!
Okay! You got it!
Come get me, then! That is, if you can defeat my soldiers and make it up here!
All right! Charge!!!
6. Showdown at Muscle Tower, after the battle
57 linesWhat's wrong with you?!
Finish him off, already!
...No.
What?!
We mustn't kill living creatures.
I don't like being evil.
...!
Stop spouting nonsense! Just kill him, now!
Hurry up and fight, you worthless idiot!
No!
Stop saying that!
We, the Red Ribbon Army, created you!
I can't. I'm sorry...
...
If you won't follow my orders...
...I'll blow your body into itty-bitty bits using the bomb planted inside you!
...
Now, do what I say if you want to live!
...No, I can do no more evil.
Ha ha.
What a complete failure! You asked for it! Fire in the hole!
...!
Die!!!
No, don't!!!
General White sought to liquidate Android #8, whom he deemed to be a worthless failure... However, Goku defeated the general and saved the android from being blown to bits! And then...
Thank you for saving me. I'm so happy.
You should've smacked him down yourself!
It's not nice to fight.
And I don't like violence.
Oh!
What's your name?
My name is Goku!
And you are...?
I don't have a name.
But people call me Android #8.
I got the #8 part, but the rest went over my head.
I'll call you Hacchan!
Hacchan?
It's easier for me to say! Hacchan! See?
Hacchan, eh? I like it! A-ha!
Hacchan! How about joining us?
Thank you, but I'm staying here.
Why?
I'm going to turn over General White and the rest of them to the police.
And then I'll destroy Muscle Tower...
If you're sure... See ya around, Hacchan!
Having utterly annihilated the Muscle Tower baddies and obtained the fifth Dragon Ball, Goku and company said goodbye to Hacchan and set off to find the remaining Dragon Balls. Meanwhile, news of Muscle Tower's destruction had just reached Red Ribbon Army HQ...
What?! Muscle Tower was completely destroyed?!
And the Dragon Ball?!
About that... It was taken, sir...
Dammit!
We have to find the thieves and get it back! Black!
Yessir!
What did I tell you about not standing so close to me!
People can't see my enormity with you right there!
My apologies, sir!
Grr...
7. Master Roshi Appears, before the battle
53 linesGoku and company continued their quest to find the Dragon Balls. Along the way, they rescued a turtle and returned him to the ocean. Wishing to thank them, the turtle brought back a certain someone from across the sea...
Sorry I kept you waiting!
Hello there, kids!
What a cool outfit.
I am Master Roshi! But some call me the turtle hermit.
I hear you saved Turtle here. So, I'd like to thank you with a fabulous gift.
Master Roshi?
Huh?!
Boy! Is that a Power Pole I see slung over your back?
You betcha. I got it from my grandpa!
And would this grandpa of yours happen to be Gohan?
That's right. Are you saying you know him?
Know him? Gohan was my number one pupil!
Seriously?!
Umm... You mentioned a gift?
Oh, right! This is for you...
Come to me, Flying Nimbus!
What's with that cloud?!
It's the Flying Nimbus! It's yours if you want it!
How're we supposed to eat it?
You don't EAT this precious cloud!
You're supposed to ride it and soar through the sky.
Really? It'll make us fly?!
Pretty neat, huh?
However, only those who are pure of heart can ride it.
Pure of heart?
In other words, you must be a good boy.
The Flying Nimbus could only be ridden by those pure of heart... Master Roshi tried to show them how it was done but couldn't get on. Neither could Bulma. But there was one whose heart was pure enough...
Whee! I'm flying, I'm flying!
Not bad. The kid's a natural.
Phooey! So only Goku can ride it?! ...Hm?
Hey! Could I see that?
Hm? This? Pretty, isn't it?
I found it on the ocean floor a while back.
I knew it! It's the Three-Star Ball!
I take it it's something quite valuable.
If you collect all seven Dragon Balls, the dragon god Shenron will appear and grant you a wish!
D-Did you hear that?!
Sure did! All that trouble we went through tailing this lot was worth it!
Truth be told, I've always wanted to get married!
If I had all the Dragon Balls, I could make a wish not to get flustered in front of girls!
You always did have a thing for the ladies, Yamcha.
With the Three-Star Ball from Master Roshi in hand, Goku and company now had six of the seven Dragon Balls! But just then, the fleet led by Colonel Blue of the Red Ribbon Army appeared to seize our heroes' hard-won prize!
Master Roshi!
Master Roshi, you were my grandpa's master, weren't you?
Well, yes, but...
Then smack them down for us! You're super strong, right?!
A goofy old man like him couldn't possibly do anything on his own!
Actually... I can!
Huh?
Silly old me. I almost clean forgot!
You "forgot"?!
Well, watch and learn!
8. Master Roshi Appears, after the battle
14 lines
See what I mean?!
What a wicked skill!
You're going to pay for that! Attack! Attack!!!
Aaaaaah!
Master Roshi! What about the power you just showed off?!
I used it all up in that last attack!
...
Goku?!
Ka...me...ha...me... HAAA!!!
Hi-yah!
This is amazing, Master Roshi! I've never done anything like it!
That Goku... It took me 50 years to master that skill, and in an instant, he...
H-How dare you destroy my precious fleet!
Master Roshi and Goku fought back with Kamehameha, but Colonel Blue counterattacked after it failed to finish him off... Stripped of the Dragon Balls, Bulma was taken prisoner along with Yamcha and the rest who had tried to help, and was promptly marched back to Red Ribbon Army HQ.
9. The Final Battle, before the battle
28 linesYaaagh!!!
After escaping Colonel Blue, Goku launched his solo offensive against the Red Ribbon Army HQ to save Bulma and the others who were held there. The army threw all it had at him to seize the Four-Star Ball he held, but soon found themselves on the ropes...
Dammit all! We were so close!
Commander!
I was THIS close to becoming taller!
What are you talking about?
Wait. You wanted the Dragon Balls so you could gain a few inches?
Exactly! And what's wrong with that?!
I've been serving you to help the Red Ribbon Army conquer the world.
If I'd known all you wanted was to be taller...
Silence!!! As supreme commander, I can make any wish I want!
And you lowly worms need only follow my orders without question!
...
I, Black, am now the leader of this world!
And I am establishing the brand-new Black Ribbon Army!
Black had learned Commander Red's true objective... After killing him, Black hopped into a giant robot and set out to conquer the world, challenging Goku to a final showdown...!
Hey, cut it out! That thing looks super dangerous!
It seems even you are no match for this giant robot!
What do you say? Want to join the Black Ribbon Army?
Me, join the bad guys' side?! No chance!
...Then you leave me no choice!
Black attacked Goku from the cockpit of his giant robot! Just when it looked like the robot's overwhelming power had Goku down for the count... ...someone came to the rescue!
Mwa ha ha! Now you're toast!
Don't you bully Goku!
What the?!
Anyone who bullies Goku will feel Hacchan's wrath!
How dare you interfere!
Goku... Goku is... He's my friend!
10. The Final Battle, after the battle
18 linesThe worthless failure of a monster...is you!
Waaaagh!!!
Enraged by Hacchan's death, Goku blasted through the giant robot with an All-Out Kamehameha, thereby crushing the evil ambitions of Black and the Red Ribbon Army. At long last, all seven Dragon Balls were in our heroes' hands...
Come forth, Shenron!
State your wish. I shall grant any one desire.
Wh-Whoa...!
Yamcha! Weren't you going to wish to be able to keep your cool in front of girls?
That's what I had in mind originally...
And I was really hoping for the ideal boyfriend, but...
...
What's the matter? No wishes, anyone?
I have one! Please, Shenron! Make Hacchan as good as new!
Only this time, without a bomb inside him!
Heh heh...
Very well!
Goku...
Hacchan! Ha ha ha!
Thanks to the Dragon Balls, Goku's wish was granted, and Hacchan came back to life! And with that, Goku and company's quest to find the Dragon Balls drew to an end. For now, at least...
