Features: Long, long ago, seven magical Dragon Balls scattered across the Earth. Legend has it that if they are gathered, the Dragon God will appear and grant a wish. To search for the Dragon Balls, Goku and others embarked on an incredible journey. After experiencing many dangers, the Dragon Balls they finally gathered were stolen. To prevent the Dragon Balls from being used by villains, Goku and his friends had to make a boring wish first. After the Dragon God grants a wish, it must wait a year before appearing again. During this time, Goku went to Master Roshi to train and then resumed his journey to find the Dragon Balls, eventually winning the World Martial Arts Tournament. Later, the powerful Android 17 (Sharu) held the Cell Games, where Goku and Gohan fought a desperate battle against him. Gohan unleashed his greatest strength, and Goku sacrificed himself in an attack, finally defeating Cell and saving the Earth. Unfortunately, Goku perished in the battle with Cell. The Earth returned to peace.
