Long ago, there was a legend that circulated: The gods created seven Dragon Balls, scattered in various corners of the world. It was said that by gathering these Dragon Balls and reciting a spell, one could summon the Dragon God, who would help fulfill a wish.

A fashionable girl named Bulma ventured alone into the deep mountains in search of the Dragon Balls and encountered a young boy named Goku living there. Despite Goku's small stature, he possessed extraordinary abilities. After numerous twists and turns, they embarked on a journey together to find the Dragon Balls. Meanwhile, in a distant land, there was a kingdom called Gurumes, which was rich in precious rubies. Driven by interests, the king's army expelled the local people from their homes and ravaged their fields. The king, consumed by greed, had tasted all the delicacies in the world and now desired to taste the flesh of the Dragon God. Thus began a fantastical adventure centered around the Dragon Balls...

Under the guidance of Master Roshi, Goku and Krillin embarked on grueling training that ordinary people could not imagine, and they were rewarded with rapid progress in martial arts. To test their abilities, Master Roshi decided to take them to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament. The Rice Empire was a powerful nation, but the innocent Emperor Dumpling was under the control of the evil Crane Hermit and his brother, Tao Pai Pai. To fulfill their ambitions, Crane Hermit kidnapped the emperor's beloved wife, falsely claiming that he could summon the Dragon God to grant wishes, but in reality, he sought to fulfill his own ambitions. The Rice Empire mobilized its entire nation to search for the Dragon Balls, causing great suffering to the people. Meanwhile, Bulma and her companions were attacked by the Rice Empire's army while searching for the Dragon Balls. Various forces converged on the capital of the Rice Empire for the Dragon Balls, inevitably leading to a battle between good and evil...

In the remote and uninhabited Baozi Mountain, there lived a carefree and innocent boy named Sun Wukong, who relied on his grandfather, Son Gohan, for survival and learned martial arts from him. One day, he encountered a fashionable girl named Bulma from the big city. Bulma was searching for the Dragon Balls everywhere, believing that gathering the seven Dragon Balls could summon a dragon and fulfill her wishes. Persuaded by Bulma, Goku left the deep mountains and encountered companions such as Oolong, Yamcha, Puar, and Master Roshi along the way. Meanwhile, the powerful Red Ribbon Army was also searching for the Dragon Balls, resorting to burning, killing, and plundering to achieve their goals. Conflict between Goku's party and the Red Ribbon Army was inevitable in their pursuit of the Dragon Balls. A series of fierce battles ensued, marking the beginning of the legendary quest for the Dragon Balls...
