Story
Dragon Ball takes place on Earth where Goku goes on different adventures to find the Dragon Balls. He’s also aspiring to become a great fighter and be able to compete in multiple martial arts tournaments. There are different story lines, eg. when Goku stops the evil Red Ribbon Army, or when, 3 years later, he thwarts the Grand Demon King Piccolo’s plans for world conquest. Another line is where he and his friends protect the Earth from the Saiyan invasion.
The Dragon Ball franchise is set in a multiverse composed of 12 numbered universes, each ruled by a number of benevolent and malevolent deities, respectively called Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction. Almost all of the Dragon Ball series, except for parts of Dragon Ball Super, takes place in Universe 7. Years in the timeline are called “Ages”.
Universe 7 contains several planets, including a fictionalized Earth, where humans reside, and Planet Vegeta, the home world of the Saiyans, a powerful and destructive race. Many other races also inhabit Universe 7, including Angels, Demons, Androids, Tuffles and Namekians. Humans are among the weakest races in the universe. The protagonist Goku is raised as a human on Earth but finds out that he is actually a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta.
