Dragonball Evolution Summary:
Dragonball begins as a tongue-and-cheek outting for kids as Goku and his Grandpa battle atop two ropes. We are introduced to the concept of "key", which rhymes with chi, and it apparently allows one to focus unseen energy into attacks. Shadow crane strike!
From here we see Goku's high school and meet the girl of his dreams. She of course has a muscle bound boy toy that hates Goku. Various high school antics abound until Goku is given a dragonball by his Grandpa.
After Piccolo, an unexplained ultimate evil that has been imprisoned for 2000 years at the Earth's core, begins to gather the dragonballs in hopes of destroying the world it is only a matter of time before Goku, dream girl, a tech-savy and gun yielding girl with a blue hair stripe, a "key" master, and a bizarre man who traps everyone in a large hole join forces to battle him. They battle jelly-like creatures that split into more copies of themselves when killed, hurry to watch dream girl battle in a kung-fu tournament, blue stripe and strange older dude fall in love, and Goku learns he is actually an alien hybrid that is half him and half space monkey. He struggles to control his space monkey side, because evidently nobody can defeat it. Thus Goku spouts off things like "I will be true to myself!" and "Two are one!"
