New to the world, our young hero is captivated

by the splendor of the ever- changing landscape around him.

However, he is about to learn an important lesson:

Always watch where you're going.

Y-u-m, y-u-ooh? That's strange...

I wonder if this thing is broken?

Whoa! Got one! Hahaha!

No! Oh, no. No! Please!

Noooo!

Ahhh! Huuuh? Oh.

Emperor Pilaf?

Sire, are you all right?

Help me... Help me!

Hey. You're safe, sire. I'm right here.

Huh?!

Oh, nothing like a good stretch on the floor

to get you really worked up, ya know!

He-he-he-he-he-he-he...

It's okay, sire. Crying is therapeutic.

I've never shed a tear in my life, Shu! Go!

But, sire! I have good news!

We've picked up a Dragon Ball on the radar.

The signal is very strong!

It's about 150 miles away in the Southwest.

Really?!

Uh-huh!

Are you crying again, sire?

Shu, my slipper.

Uh, here you go.

You boob!

I was obviously laughing!

You are my true inspiration.

With you by my side, the whole world will be mine.

Aww, I didn't know you cared...

I was talking to the DRAGON!!!

Impressive.

You dolt.

So, the Dragon Balls have begun

to show up on our radar, eh?

Perfect. They're as good as mine already.

Wake up world, and hail your new ruler!!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Daah! Hold on!

Gotcha!

Why did you go and open the window?!

You know you're not supposed

to do that when we're up in the air!

Just-get-me-back-inside!

Shu...! Help...! Pull...! Pull!

I'm sorry I called you a dolt! Please!!

Shu-u-u-! Wake-up, help me!

I don't wanna die-e-e-e!

Wa-a-a-a-a! Shu-u-u-u-u-u!!!

I wish I had something to eat...

Yeah, well.

Lying here all day isn't gonna make my belly full.

Guess, that means it's time to go to work!

Ha-a-ahh!

Hahahaha! Yeah!

Boy! That was refreshing. Huh? Wh-uh-

Where did all my things go?!

Man, that kid was loaded!

I bet I'll make a fortune on all of this great stuff!

Sure is breezy up here...

I gotta find my clothes.

And my power pole!

That's it!

Power Pole... extend!

Huh?

Ohhh!

Power Pole extend!

Power Pole! Can you hear me?

Yeah! There it is!

Power Pole descend.

I guess whoever took it ran away.

The dragon radar is missing.

That smell!

It's just like what I picked up

on at the pond only much stronger.

Ohh.

E-e-e yuck!

Grandpa, if I don't get the radar back,

there's no way I'll find your Dragon Ball.

That smell might lead me to the thief.

Guess I'll... follow my nose.

Mai, are you sure there

is a Dragon Ball somewhere around here?

Yes, it's here.

But we have yet to pinpoint its exact location.

Our radar confirms it's within a one-mile radius

from the center of this town.

We'll find it, Sire...

It's just a matter of time.

Time is something we don't have.

For all we know, someone else could be

collecting one of the Dragon Balls as we speak.

I won't risk a repeat of last year's disaster!

I want all 7 balls secure and in my possession, understand?

I want nothing less than perfection

from every member of this organization.

Remember, if even one of the balls is missing,

the rest are useless.

As will be my need for you!

Good afternoon.

You'll have to excuse the temper of my men.

We've been traveling all day and it's left them a bit irritable.

Mmm. Something smells good.

But I can't stay for dinner.

Work's got me swamped.

You see I'm searching for something called a Dragon Ball.

Perhaps you good people could tell me where it is.

Before something bad happens.

Please! Leave us alone!

We don't have what you're looking for.

Really?

Pity.

It's a shame to raise children in a broken home.

Destroy...

...everything!!

Please, stop!

Hey, mister!

Hi!

Eh, you again.

Don't come any closer! You smell.

S-o-o-o...

What do ya think'a this baby?

Pricey stuff, huh?

Hmm... Maybe, maybe not...

This gizmo could be worth millions!

Whatever it is.

It must be something important.

How much will ya pay me for it?

Uh– This thing? Hmm...

Ten zeni, and that's just because I like you, kid.

Ten zeni. Ten zeni?! For what, the strap?

Hey, I'm trying be nice here, kid!

You don't even know what this thing is,

so how am I supposed to sell it?

You're lucky I'm paying you that much for it!

Ten zeni. Take it, or leave it.

Some deal.

All right... Ten zeni.

Heh-heh! Smart boy!

Yep...! Enjoy!

Yeah, no more onion sandwiches for this kid!

See ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!

Take a bath!

So, what do you think?

Too much?

Do you think it would clash with my outfit?

No. I think it brings out your color, sir.

Hello. I must say

you're making an excellent choice today.

That crown is over 300 years old.

It was worn by Alexander the Great.

He built a kingdom to the North of us.

And now it looks to have chosen a successor!

According to this label,

his nickname must have been Ralph.

It is the symbol of power worn

by many great historical leaders, your majesty!

Why don't we step into my parlor

where it's cool so we can discuss this matter further?

That would be fine.

Pilaf, may I remind you we don't have time to shop today.

That's Emperor Pilaf and I can't rule the world

without a proper crown!

- Eh, heh. - Right this way.

Peeyuuw!

Hey! You!

Stop! Hey, you! Stop!

I know you stole my Dragon Radar

and I want it back.

I sold your thing to a shop keeper...

He gave me ten zeni.

I'll split it with ya if ya want.

Where is he at...

and how do I get there?

As you can see, we have much more

than crowns to choose from.

Take your time...

We have the finest selection of antiques anywhere.

Guaranteed.

It is an impressive collection.

But what I'm interested in can't be found in any antique shop.

You search for something unique, yes?

Something rare and out of the ordinary?

Extraordinary!

With the power to rule the world!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-!!

Why don't you put it on a billboard?

Ah, I see...

There is one item I have that possesses such potential...

A powerful relic. Inherited by kings.

One after another, for thousands of years.

So, if only kings have claimed this treasure,

then it is my obligation to own it!

He-he-he-he-ha-ha-ha!!

If you were not a king–

I wouldn't have even mentioned it.

We can't let peasants taint what belongs to royalty!

It is said whoever attains it

is master over all creations under the sun

and wields enough power to dominate the world.

Life itself would bow to your will.

Domination. Over the entire world.

No more monkeys!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

It can... control monkey beasts?!

Absolute power.

And it's even gift-wrapped.

A Dragon Ball!

You were right, Mai.

Thanks, I usually am... sir.

Now, let's talk price shall we?

I'm a reasonable man–

Is that enough?

This must be the place.

Found it!

Uh...

It shows the Dragon Ball is right here!

Huu-uuh.

That fool–

He didn't even know what he had!

We're off to a good start, Mai!

At this rate, I'll be ruling...

Ahhhhh!

You again! You're a–

Monster! Don't come any closer!

This Dragon Ball is mine!

You hear me...!

I bought it fair and square, monkey boy!

So step off!

Wait! How many stars does it have?

Get your own.

How many stars are on that BALL?!!

Four.

Huh?

Four beautiful stars on that ball, son.

That's Grandpa's Ball!!

Stop running! Hey, you! Stop, now!

Huh?

Hey!!

What is that thing?

Come to me, Flying Nimbus!

I'm coming! Hang on Grandpa!

Sir, something's wrong with the Dragon Radar.

What?!! I'm over here.

What kind of problem?

The readings we're getting

from the radar system don't make any sense.

Our position is here, but the radar shows

the Dragon Ball signal is occurring outside the ship.

Huh? Ohhh...

It just so happens I have such an artifact.

Wait here. I'll be back in a moment.

This should do the trick.

Just in case.

Here you are.

I trust this is the piece you're looking for? Eh?

Come on, take the bait!

Not quite.

Not good.

It's fake! It's just a glass bead!

You lied.

No, uh... No, wait!

That was the real deal, honest!

These whatchamacallits are fragile antiques: priceless!

Dragon Ball.

Priceless and unbreakable.

But I–

Shhh. It's here, somewhere.

Buried in all this crap. Think very carefully.

The next word you say could determine

the quality of the rest of your life.

I... uh...

Time's up old man.

Do it.

Nooo!

A boring conversation anyway.

Find it.

It looks like the future of this Dragon Ball

is up in the air for now.

The race is on.

But who will win the ultimate prize?

And will Goku be able to defeat the combined threat

of Emperor Pilaf and this sinister military unit?

There's only one way to find out.

Stay tuned for the next unbelievable episode

of Dragon Ball!

Be as brave as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,

The world is a mystery for you and me.

A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,

The beating of your heart will see you through.

When you think you can't go on, give it another try,

The power of your youth is strong, and as big as the sky.

Search all over the valley, the mountains and you'll see...believing in yourself sets you free!

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Liberate the “you” that you keep inside.

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Make your dreams come true; you'll see fantasy...magic can happen to you!

Hey! This is Pilaf!

What? What? An army? And they are searching for the Dragon Balls, like me?

They have no idea who they are messing with...

This time they will be mine and I will wish to rule this world!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

Bastards! Give me back my grandpa's ball!
