Background
Dragon Ball is an internationally popular media franchise. It consists primarily of a manga series created by Akira Toriyama, five anime series (Dragon Ball, Z, GT, Super and Heroes), twenty anime films, seven anime specials, three live-action films, five anime OVAs, four anime crossovers, two anime PSAs and a high-def remastered recut of Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball has an extensive online fanbase and is consistently one of the most frequently searched-for terms on Google, Yahoo! and Lycos. As of January 2012, generating $5 billion in merchandise, Dragon Ball is one of the most merchandisable anime based media franchises of all time.
The story and characters of Dragon Ball were partly inspired by the Chinese folk novel Journey to the West, though they diverge from the novel very quickly. The plot follows the adventures of lead character Son Goku (just simply known as Goku, originally under his Saiyan name Kakarot, and is based on the Monkey King of the folk legend, Sun Wukong) from his childhood through his adulthood. The story includes elements both of action and comedy, though the series became more action-oriented over time.
Terms
- Dragon Balls: Dragon Balls are the namesake artifact of the Dragon Ball series. They are large, crystalline spheres (of varying sizes and colors) that feature five-pointed stars (ranging from one to seven, and also varying in sizes and colors, along with being either rigid or flat in appearance) inside of themselves (akin to glass art); individually, they have no powers, but united they have the ability to call forth their associated Eternal Dragon who can grant (usually) one wish(s).
- Black Star Dragon Balls: A set of Dragon Balls created by a nameless Namekian, long before Kami's creation of Earth's Dragon Balls. This set of Dragon Balls summon Ultimate Sheron, who can grant wishes far more potent than the original Shenron can; such as being able to kill people with a wish. However, as a wish is made on the Black Star Dragon Balls, they spread out across the entire universe, and if they are not returned to the planet the wish was made on in a years time, it will destroy said planet.
- Super Dragon Balls: This set of Dragon Balls were made by the Dragon God, Zalama, which are each the sizes of entire planets. The Super Dragon Balls summon Super Shenron, who dwarves entire galaxies with his size, and can seemingly grant virtually any wish, no matter the severity.
- Super Saiyan: Super Saiyan is an advanced transformation assumed by members and hybrids of the Saiyan race in the Dragon Ball franchise, which was told in ancient Saiyan legend. Earthlings (of Saiyan heritage) in Dragon Ball Online can also assume the transformation by wishing to have their dormant Saiyan powers unlocked. This transformation grants a significant boost to the user's power, and has many evolved and mutated forms; including directly evolutions like Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, and mutated versions like Super Saiyan 4 (accessed through Blutz Waves) and Super Saiyan God (accessed through God Ki.)
Power of the Verse
Dragon Ball is a physically powerful verse due to its main focus on power and strength. With characters starting off the series at Wall level and reaching all the way to Mountain level and Moon level, it’s continuation series Dragon Ball Z ups the power by bringing in Planet level characters all the way to Solar System level characters, the movies and alternate media bring in Multi Solar System level characters and Galaxy level characters, with Dragon Ball Super bringing in Universe level characters due to the introduction of the Gods of Destruction. The video game media goes even further with the power introducing High Multiverse level characters to the mix. In terms of speed the series starts out with Subsonic speed to Supersonic speed though early on reaches High Hypersonic travel speeds with FTL reaction and combat speeds, reaching Massively FTL travel, combat and reaction speeds by the end of Z, with Massively FTL+ by DBS, with games such as Xenoverse and Heroes reaching Extra-Temporal levels of speed.
In terms of hax the verse has abilities such as Transmutation, Mind Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Sealing, Matter Manipulation, Power Nullification, Wish Granting, etc.
