There is more
humour than fighting in Dragonball. Without Dragonball, Dragonball Z would
have never been created. Nonetheless, Dragonball is important to all Dragonball
Z fans. Dragonball tells about the adventures that Gokou has growing up.
Dragonball starts off as Gokou (a kid) meeting Bulma. The series goes on
and they meet Oonlong, Yamcha, Master Roshi, Chi-Chi, and her father the
Ox King. Then, they gather the Dragonballs and battle Pilaf. They were
caught by Pilaf and trapped in a cell while Pilaf made his wish. Luckily,
Oonlong made a wish for a pair of panties before Pilaf made his wish. Then,
they were put into an unbreakable cell with a glass ceiling. Gokou saw
the full moon and changed into a giant ape.
After the Pilaf
Series, Gokou trains martial art under Master Roshi. He meets Klilyn, a
monk. They compete in a martial arts competition known as the Tenkaichi
Boudoukai. In this series, Gokou meets Jacky Chun who is actually Master
Roshi in disguise. Gokou is defeated by Jacky Chun in the final round.
After this series,
Gokou starts his journey again by finding his grandfather's dragonball.
Here, he meets the Red Ribbon Army which is also trying to find the dragon
balls. He meets the famous killer, Tao Pai Pai and defeated him after training
at Karin tower. Then, he attacks the Red Ribbon Army headquaters alone
and destroys it. He collects all the dragon balls to help live back Wuba's
father who was killed by Tao Pai Pai.
After that,
Gokou trains by travelling around the world before meeting back with Master
Roshi, Klilyn and Yamcha at the 22nd Tenkaichi Boudoukai. Here he meets
Tenshin-Han and Chaou-zu, students of Master Crane, Master Roshi's opponent.
Gokou loses to Tenshin-Han in the final round.
Last but not
least, is the Piccolo Series. Klilyn is killed by Piccolo's henchman and
Gokou vows to take revenge. During this time, Piccolo kills Master Roshi
and Chaou-zu. Piccolo collects all the dragon balls and wishes himself
to be young. Gokou climbs the Karin tower with the help of his new friend
Yazirobel. He drinks the Super Kami water which brings out all the power
of a warrior. Then, he battles Piccolo. Piccolo is defeated in the end
by Gokou but before he died, an egg came out of his mouth and fell to the
ground. In it was his son Piccolo-Dameo.
After that,
Gokou climbed Karin Tower and was told by Karin to learn martial arts under
Kami. At Kami's palace, Gokou learnt the art of Bukuujutsu which makes
him able to fly in the sky and also the art of detecting Ki. Then he returns
to earth and competes in the 23rd Tenkaichi Boudoukai. Here, he meets the
young Piccolo-Dameo. After a fierce battle with him, Gokou finally defeats
Piccolo-Dameo and wins the Tenkaichi Boudoukai. Rather than destroying
the demon, Gokou spares his life. (This battle is what led Dragonball to
success. It was in the Piccolo Series that the violence of Dragonball Z
began!) At the end, Gokou marries Chi-Chi...
