"A journey that began long ago, in a place neither near nor far... A story of heroes, passed down through the ages... Until now. This is our story. These are our heroes."
"Once there was a brave yet naive boy named Son Gokou who lived far up on a mountain. One day he met Bulma who was on a journey in search of Dragon Balls."
"Tenkaichi-Budoukai is a capital place to exhibit the results of training. Gokou's deathblow art is Kamehame-Ha. Son Gokou', the invincible!!"
"It was five years since severe battles had been fought in the Grand Martial Art Match. The world enjoyed supreme peace. Gokou and his beloved wife Chi-chi were also leading a calm and peaceful life with their son Gohan, who had been born to them 4 years ago."
"Needless to say, Son Gokou is the greatest hero of the 20th century. But, not this time... Gokou lost his life in the effort to rescue his son, who had been taken as a hostage by Gokou's own brother of Saiyan."
"Seeking the Dragon Ball in the planet Namekku, Klilyn and his friends took off the Earth. They arrived on the planet safely, but, alas, Vegeta and Freeza, a new enemy, also arrived there."
"Evil Cell constantly watches you from the land high above. There's absolutely nothing you can do, and there's nowhere you can run away, once you're caught in the hands of evil Cell."
"Three hours after that incident, Gokou came back to earth as predicted by the boy. The boy's name is Trunks and he said that he had come from the future 20 years from present."
