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.
