Dragon Ball: Majinjou no Nemuri Hime:                (07/18/87)
             The Sleeping Princess of Demon Castle
 
   Young Gokou seeks out Kamesennin to ask to be accepted as a student,
while the little runt priest, Krillin, arrives for the same reason (and uses
a nude magazine as a bribe.)  Kamesennin sends them on a quest far to the
east, where "five mountains stand, called the 'Devil's Hand'."  In a castle
there, is the legendary, and pretty, "Sleeping Princess."  Whoever brings
back the Sleeping Princess will become the old pervert's student.  The two
boys set out, and Krillin uses all the standard tricks to trick Gokou.
   A little later, Bulma, Oolong, Yamcha, and Puuaru -- who are on summer
vacation -- arrive at Kame House to find Gokou. Kamesennin says that the
two boys have gone far to the east for training, so the friends fly in
Bulma's Capsule jet to the Devil's Hand.  When they near the castle, the
jet is attacked by demons, and Bulma is taken to the Castle.  The owner of
the castle, Lucifer, pretends to treat her as a guest, until it becomes time
to awake the Sleeping Princess.  In the meantime, Gokou and Krillin are
fighting monsters, and they drop in on Bulma just before Shitsuji can drain
Bulma of her blood through a giant syringe (Bulma's blood is to be used to
toast the awakening of the Sleeping Princess.)  Then, Ranchi arrives to
steal the Sleeping Princess -- which is really a giant jewel.  Everyone is
captured and encased in a wall of rock.
   It is the night of a full moon, and the moonlight is used to power the
jewel.  The moonlight also turns Gokou into a were-ape, and everyone
escapes.  They fight Lucifer, and Gokou uses Kamehameha to destroy Lucifer's
Princess-powered laser cannon (the full-moon-light is to be used to destroy
the sun, and begin the Reign of Darkness), and kills Lucifer. The heroes
escape, and Krillin acts contrite, but doesn't actually apologize to Gokou
for his behavior.  The two boys return to Kame House with Kushami, and
Kamesennin takes them both on as students.  Then, Kushami sneezes, turns
into Ranchi, and shoots Kamesennin full of holes.

             of the Full Moon, and can be used as a power source for a
