The encyclopedia of theDragon Ball universe

The first complete hunt for the seven balls, from deep in the mountains to Pilaf’s castle. This is the saga that sets the rules of the world: the radar, the single wish, the dragon that does not negotiate, and the full moon that turns a child into a disaster.

Vegeta saga

Goku learns where he comes from at the same moment he learns someone is coming for him. Thirty-five episodes that push Dragon Ball from an Earth-bound martial arts story into a tale of space conquest, and cost the group half its fighters.

Battle of Gods

Fourteen episodes to reinstall the series and raise the ceiling one notch: above the known gods sit a God of Destruction, his angel attendant, and a scale where raw power is no longer enough. The pace is deliberately slow at first, domestic even, before the sky opens up.
