DragonBall Series:
This is the series that begins it all
Pilaf Series:
At the beginning of Dragonball, Goku was wandering around looking for food when all of a sudden a car pulls up and crashes in to him. During this encounter, Goku meets Bulma. Bulma tells Goku about the Dragon balls, and they begin their quest in search of them. On their adventure they meet a Pervert Pig named Oolong, a shape shifting cat called Puar, and a desert bandit named Yamtcha. Both Yamtcha and Puar were trying to steal the Dragon balls, but later on they became friends with Goku and Bulma, After this they meet Muten Roshi, an old martial arts master who invites Gokou to train with him after they are finished looking for the dragonballs. During their search , Goku and Bulma also meet Ox King and his daughter Chi-chi, whom they help put out a fire on their home. During this time Chi-chi proposes marriage to Goku and when they get older they would get married, but Goku didn't understand what she meant, but he said yes anyways. Goku then leaves along with Bulma, Yamtcha, Puar and Oolong in search of the Dragon Balls. Once all seven Dragon Balls are gathered, The Dragon, Shenlong, can be summoned, and he can grant you one wish. He grants many wishes throughout DragonBall. Meanwhile, on our heroes' search for the final DragonBall, they meet Pilaf. Pilaf stole the Dragonballs from our heroes and he trapped them in his castle. For this, Pilaf became Gokou's first real enemy. Meanwhile Pilaf was about to make his wish when Oolong arrives and asks for a pair of women's underwear. This was the first wish made in DragonBall. After that Gokou returns to Muten Roshi to train the martial arts, but right before they began, Krillin arrives, and is first pictured as a bafoon because of his enterance. Krillin, at first was not accepted as Roshi's pupil, but Kuririn Bribes him with a dirty magazine. Krillin will also recieve training from Muten Roshi just like Goku's Grandfather, Son Gohan and Chi-chi's father Ox King. Meaning that Roshi is extremly old but apparently not the oldest, he has an older sister named Urani Baba who later meets Goku in the series. Now Krillin and Goku will train with Roshi for a while until the Tenkaichi Budokai, a martial arts tournament. Roshi enters the tournament disguised as a man named Jackie Chun so his pupils wouldn't recognize him. In the tournament Yamtcha also signs up. After some fights Krillin and Yamtcha lose. And the Finalists turn out to be Goku and Jackie Chun. After a long fight Jackie Chun wins, After that Gokou says that he is going to go find the four star dragon ball, the one with his grandfather's soul in it. (This marks the end of the Pilaf Series.)
