Curse of the Blood Rubies

Episode Summary

Deep within the core of the Earth a fire rages. Within the heart of this fire dwells the Eternal Dragon, a magical beast of limitless power that can be summoned from his fiery lair only when the seven magic Dragon Balls, now scattered over the face of the Earth are found and brought together. When the seven magic Dragon Balls are united, the Eternal Dragon will appear before the adventurer who brought them together and grant that person a single wish. Then, once more the balls will be scattered to the four winds, and the dragon beast will return to his fiery lair until another brave or foolish soul rediscovers the balls and tries to bring them together again. Now meet Goku ... a normal enough little boy (if you count having a tail as normal, that is), and his collection of screwy friends. All of them are looking for the 7 almost mystical Dragon Balls with which one can summon a charmed Dragon and ask a single wish. The question is who gets to make the single wish?moreless

    Want to rid the world of evil? Take away the rudies that the Red Ribbon army wants.

    Wonder if this in relation might the rudy rich country of "Burma" aka. now called "Myanmar" (they got hit by nasty cyclon last week on CNN reported..)

    And have a nastier army (sort of like Red Ribbon)

    But the show was wonder! And it started the whole series for us. Truly a 10! If you have not seen it, your unlucky. Go find it NOW! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !moreless

    This is a great movie. Goku meets Bulma,Oolong,Yamcha,and the rest of his friends and faces the soldiers of a king cursed with a desire to eat too much. He needs the dragonballs to cure his curse,but soon goku ends up defeating all of his soldiers and turns him back to his normal self. The young daughter of one of the villagers gives him an apple and he finds out that even healthy food is good. Also that he was destroying some of the most delicious things his villagers grew and stopped his evil reign.

    This is an awesome movie for any dragonball fan.moreless
