Goku Son, a young boy living alone in the woods, encounters Bulma while she searches for the legendary Dragon Balls, seven mystical orbs that can grant a single wish. Bulma hopes to collect all seven and wish for the perfect boyfriend. Goku already possesses one of the balls, but he refuses to give it up. In exchange for allowing Goku to borrow the ball’s power, Bulma offers him a partnership: he will join her on her quest. Together, they set off on a perilous adventure, meeting the wise old Master Roshi and the eager student Krillin, with whom Goku begins training.
