Makafushigi Adobenchā! (魔訶不思議アドベンチャー！, "Mystical Adventure!") is the first opening theme song for the Dragon Ball TV anime series, used from episode 1 until episode 153. It was written by Yukinojō Mori with vocals by Hiroki Takahashi. As the major theme used by the program for the entirety of its run, the animation behind the theme was updated several times to reflect the changing plot and antagonists. A widescreen version was also used for the first two Dragon Ball movies, with special animation commissioned for Dragon Ball Movie 3 to reflect the plot of that film. The song was also included in video games and other media.

Opening Animation
First Variation Breakdown
The first variation was used for the first 101 episodes.
| Scene | Notes | Visual Reference |
|---|---|---|
|
Over a star field, the seven Dragon Balls fly into view. They fly past a sun with a solar flare that resembles a dragon. | |
|
|
The DRAGONBALL logo appears with the one-star ball being replaced by a logo featuring a smiling Chinese dragon. The dragon is taken directly from the title page of Dragon Ball Chapter 1. |  |
|
The scene changes to sunrise over mountains, with a Chinese-style shrine in the background. Son Goku (with Nyoi-bō) appears facing the camera. Dragon Balls appear with the 4-star ball pausing by his face before flying off. His design here (and throughout the opening) is the blue gi with red wristbands and white belt as colored by Toriyama in Dragon Ball Chapter 1. |  |
|
Goku jumps down off of a mountain, spinning the Nyoi-bō over his head as if to attack. | |
|
Goku soars on Kintoun over a marshy area with rocky islands jutting out of the water. He then soars into the sky with the camera making a corkscrew behind him. The cloud was first introduced in Dragon Ball Chapter 4 and he flies with a pose first used in that chapter. |  |
