Dragon Ball is one of the most influential anime series ever created. Originally written by Akira Toriyama, the story follows the adventures of Goku and his friends as they protect the Earth from powerful enemies.
The story begins with young Goku meeting Bulma and searching for the legendary Dragon Balls. As the story progresses, Goku grows stronger and faces increasingly powerful opponents such as Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu.
Dragon Ball popularized many elements of modern shonen anime such as power levels, tournament arcs, and dramatic transformations.
