1. Goku in Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball is the first entry in the Dragon Ball universe and follows the adventures of Goku from his infancy to his pre-teen years. During this time, Goku meets many of the characters that would end up sticking with him for the rest of his life. He encounters his close friends Bulma, Krillin, and Yamcha, and he trains beneath Master Roshi who is an important influence on him and his family for the rest of the series. In Dragon Ball, Goku is young, naïve, energetic, kind, but sometimes headstrong and foolish.
