Its plot describes the adventures of Gokū, a Saiyan warrior, whose aim is to protect the Earth from other beings who want to conquer it and exterminate humanity. As the plot unfolds, he meets other characters who help him in this purpose. The name of the series comes from some magic spheres that when gathered invoke a dragon that grants wishes. On several occasions they are useful both to Gokū and his friends and to humanity, although they are also constantly sought after by some evil beings.
