Synopsis: Gokuu Son is a boy who lives in the forest alone - that is, until a girl named Bulma finds him in his search for a set of magical objects called "Dragon Balls". As it is said that the artifacts give a wish to those who collect all seven, Bulma expects to gather them and wishes a perfect boyfriend. Gokuu is in possession of a dragon ball, but unfortunately to Bulma, he refuses to separate from it, so she makes a deal: he can mark his journey if letting her lend the power of Dragon Ball. With that, the two set out on the journey of a lifetime.

They don't make the journey alone. On the way, they know the former disciple of Muten-Rosei and Wannabe Kuririn, with whom Gokuu trains to become a stronger martial artist of the next world martial arts tournament. However, not everything is fun and games; The ability to fulfill any desire is powerful, and there are others that would make much worse than just wishing a boyfriend. To prevent those who would try to abuse legendary power, they train to become stronger fighters, using their newly uncovered strength to help people around them along the way.
