[edit] Plot summary
Another retelling of the Dragon Ball story. This time, young Son Gokū and young Kuririn are training for a Tenka-ichi Budōkai to be held in the country of Mifan. The Emperor of Mifan, Chaozu, is trying to find his lost "Ran Ran." "Minister" Master Shen has Pilaf work on a Dragon Radar, takes it from him, and is using it to locate the Dragon Balls. Minister Master Shen and Taopaipai claim that they'll use the wish from Shenlong to locate Ran Ran, but are actually planning, with Tenshinhan's help, to kill Chaozu and take over the country. Blue announces that Ran Ran is being held in Master Shen's room, and is killed by Taopaipai for it. Bora and Upa have located the final Dragon Ball and they take it to Mifan to use it to demand that Mifan's soldiers be forced to leave the land near Karin Tower.
Bora is tricked into entering the Budōkai (the winner of the Budōkai will be granted one wish by Chaozu), and is then killed by Taopaipai. Bulma, Oolong, Lunch and Pu'er are looking for the other six Dragon Balls, so Bulma can wish for a boyfriend. However, when the DBs are located, they are accidentally dropped to the bottom of the moat surrounding Chaozu castle. Tenshinhan realizes that he likes Chaozu too much, and doesn't kill his friend; instead, he blows away Master Shen. The story of Blue and Gokū entering Penguin village is included, but this time it is Taopaipai and Gokū that meet Arale-chan, and Gokū kills Taopaipai with Arale's help.
Gokū throws the final ball into the moat, and asks Shenlong to resurrect Bora.
