The Dragon Ball phenomenon originated in 1984 when Akira Toriyama’s popular manga premiered in Shueisha’s “Weekly Shonen Jump,” becoming a top-ranked title during its 10.5-year publication run. The manga’s popularity has since soared, with over 260 million copies sold worldwide. Dragon Ball’s success expanded beyond manga to include TV animation, movies, games, and merchandising. Now, 38 years after the manga’s launch, Dragon Ball continues to evolve and will reach new heights with this highly anticipated large-scale movie.
