Introduction to the Dragon Ball Universe
The Dragon Ball Universe is quite different then ours. In the Dragon Ball universe, dinosaurs still walk the Earth and animals can even talk. Even aliens live on Earth, including Goku. Goku is the main protaganist in the Dragon Ball series. Goku is a Saiyan. Saiyans look very similiar to humans, but are different in many ways. Saiyans crave the taste of battle and can be quite cruel. They also have a tail, but Goku's was removed when he was a kid. Some really powerful Saiyans have the opportunity to power up to the next level, becoming a Super Saiyan. When you become a Super Saiyan your hair will spike up and turn blonde and your eye color will change to green. Goku and both of his kids can become a Super Saiyan. There are different forms of Super Saiyans. Dragon Ball Z ended with Goku being Super Saiyan 3. Goku was sent to Earth originally to eradicate the planet of humans. A man by the name of Son Gohan found him and raised him. Goku was always misbehaving and being mean. One day the two went for a walk near a ravine. Goku fell into it accidently, hitting his head. He should have died but didn't. He only received a concussion. The next day he awoke from his concussion being a happy and gentle-hearted kid.
The show is called Dragon Ball because of the weird and mysterious power of the Dragon Balls. The Dragon Balls have the power to grant you any wish, like immortality or fame. The original show was about Goku and this girl named Bulma going on a quest trying to collect all the Dragon Balls and making a wish. Dragon Ball Z was more about Goku becoming super powerful and saving the Earth from multiple threats. |
