Their quest for the next Dragon Ball takes them around the world to a jungle island in the South Seas. Can he defeat General White's squad of ninjas, cyborgs, and worse, and save the peaceful people of Jingle Village from their oppressors?

During Dragon Ball 's initial run in Weekly Shōnen Jump, the manga magazine reached an average circulation of 6. Written and illustrated by Dragongarow Lee, it is about a high school boy who wakes up after an accident in the body of Yamcha in the Dragon Ball manga. To stop its rampage, Piccolo challenges Cell while the Super Saiyans undergo unimaginable training in a room where one year passes for every day outside.

Now in his Perfect Form, Cell is stronger than any creature alive—even the muscled-out new form of the mighty Saiyans.

Trying to convince Gokū not to go through with it, Bulma stresses that they only have 30 days to find the Dragon Balls and can't waste those days escorting sea turtles. The original manga was adapted into two anime series produced by Toei Animation: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, which were broadcast in Japan from 1986 to 1996. Both One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda and Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto have said that Goku inspired their series' main protagonists as well as their structures.He was inspired by Hong Kong martial arts films such as Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon (1973) and Jackie Chan's Drunken Master (1978). Kame Sennin, however, states he didn't say he was going to give Bulma the ball, contemplating whether or not he could actually make some 'real money' off of it. While Bulma believes everyone to be gone, Gokū says that can't be right, as he can sense the presence of somebody.
