Toei Animation is bringing the original Dragon Ball story back to the screen with a new anime adaptation. This series will cover the initial 194 chapters of Akira Toriyama's seminal manga, chronicling Goku's early adventures from his childhood through his first World Martial Arts Tournament.

This adaptation effectively serves as a prequel to the events of Dragon Ball Z, focusing on Goku's growth, his encounters with Bulma, Master Roshi, and other iconic characters, and his initial journey to collect the Dragon Balls. Fans will revisit the foundational elements of the beloved franchise that set the stage for Z's galaxy-spanning battles.
