Dragon Ball: Shenron no Himitsu:                     (12/20/86)
The Secret of Shenlon, or
Shenron no Densetsu, or
The Legend of Shenlon

   This is a retelling of how Gokou began his adventures; from the first
encounters with Bulma, Oolong, Puuaru, and Yamcha, up to his learning
Kamehameha just by watching Kamesennin using the technique.  This time,
Gokou's origins are tied in with the evil Emperor Gurumesu, who wants the
Dragon Balls to wish for delicious food, and the Emperor's minions, Pasta
and Bongo (these two are using the quest for the Dragon Balls to cover the
fact that they are greedily raping the countryside to gather up valuable
Richi Stones.)  Bulma still wants to wish for a nice boyfriend (Yamcha
wants the Dragon Balls to wish for a woman he can marry), and ends up
summoning Shenlong before Gurumesu can, but the daughter of the local mayor,
Pansy, shouts out her wish first -- for the countryside to be restored to
its original state prior to the discovery of Richi Stones.  Shenlong does
this, and causes the stones to disappear.  Gurumesu becomes a normal
deformed human that likes to eat apples, and Gokou zips off to find the #4
Ball again.
