Dragon Ball, later expanded as Dragon Ball · Legend of Shenlong, is the first theatrical film of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball. The movie premiered as part of the 1986 "Toei Cartoon Festival" (Toei Manga Matsuri) on 20 December 1986, along with two other films: Gegege no Kitarō: Clash!! The Great Extra-Dimensional Goblin Uprising and Kinnikuman: Justice Supermen vs Warrior Supermen (part of the GeGeGe no Kitarō and Kinnikuman series respectively). It was written by Toshiki Inoue and directed by Daisuke Nishio.

Summary

The great King Gurumes is searching for the Dragon Balls in order to put a stop to his endless hunger. While his two minions are claiming to be loyal in their search for the Dragon Balls, they are actually using much of the power of Gurumes’ army to purge the land of precious “Rich Stones” for their own personal wealth. A young girl named Pansy, who lives in the village surrounding Gurumes’ castle, has had enough of the treachery and decides to seek the Turtle Hermit for assistance.

Elsewhere, a young boy named Goku runs into a girl in search of the Dragon Balls. The girl, Bulma, explains that his grandfather’s keepsake is really the Four-Star Ball. The two head back to his home on Mount Paozu, only to discover that the Four-Star Ball has been stolen by Vongo and Pasta. Goku and Bulma pursue them in a capsule plane, but are shot down. The two start heading back, but run into Pansy, who is being attacked by a red oni. The oni transforms into a robot, but freaks out when Goku knocks down a tree with a single punch. The robot transforms and flees, but Goku soon catches him, discovering his true identity is the pig Oolong.

The desert bandit Yamcha suddenly appears and demands they hand over any money or capsules. Realizing how strong Goku is, Oolong has him fight Yamcha. The two clash, but Goku’s hunger soon sets in, and he is hit by Yamcha’s Wolf Fang Fist. Bulma appears on the scene, and Yamcha flees, as he’s weak against women. Later, Yamcha overhears Pansy mention that Gurumes’ target is the Dragon Balls, and he vows to obtain the Dragon Balls for himself in order to overcome his weakness against women.

Our heroes head to Kame House. There, the Turtle Hermit uses the Kinto-Un to test Goku’s purity and is surprised to find that he is able to ride the cloud. Using Oolong’s transformation abilities, Bulma obtains the Three-Star Ball, but it is soon stolen by Vongo. He further aims for the Two-Star Ball, but the Turtle Hermit repels the army with his special attack, the Kamehameha. Following by example, Goku fires a Kamehameha, and everyone is shocked. Pansy asks the hermit for his help, but he refuses, and our heroes depart without him to Gurumes’ castle.

Goku faces off against Vongo in an aerial battle, while Yamcha and the others infiltrate the castle. Yamcha fights back against the soldiers’ onslaught, but is defeated when he realizes that his opponent is Pasta, a female. As the battle enters Gurumes’ quarters, hunger overtakes the monarch, and he turns into a giant. Bulma realizes that the Dragon Balls are inside his stomach, so she throws the Two-Star Ball into his mouth and calls forth Shenlong. Pansy yells for “the country to be restored to the way it was”, and her wish is granted. Having returned to human size, Gurumes is surprised at how tasty an ordinary apple is. Goku then sets out on a journey to find the Four-Star Ball again.

Main Staff

The following list provides the main staff responsible for the production of this theatrical film as credited in its respective ending credits.

Notes

  • When the movie premiered in December 1986, it was at that point officially titled “Dragon Ball”, and all official promotional items and materials prior to the movie’s premiere utilized this title as well. The sub-title “The Legend of Shenlong” was not included as part of the movie’s official title until it was released on VHS and LaserDisc in 1987, even though it did appear in the movie’s opening animation.

Tidbits

  • This movie premiered between episode 43 and 44 of the original anime. It is a modified retelling of the events of the first thirteen episodes of the series, depicting how Son Goku and his friends came together for the first time.
