Relive the Origins of Dragon Ball: From Manga Volumes to Retro Games

If you're a true Dragon Ball fan, there's nothing quite like going back to where it all began. While the anime brought Son Goku into homes around the world, the original Japanese manga volumes and early video games captured the essence of the Dragon Ball universe in a raw, unforgettable way.

Thanks to specialized import shops like quedejapon.es, it's now easier than ever to collect the first editions of Dragon Ball manga and play Japanese-exclusive Dragon Ball games on authentic retro consoles.

Discover the Original Dragon Ball Manga Collection

Before Super Saiyan transformations and multiverse tournaments, Dragon Ball began as a comedic, adventure-driven story inspired by Journey to the West. The original Dragon Ball manga volumes, from volume 1 to 16, show Son Goku as a child, meeting Bulma, Master Roshi, Yamcha, and many others. It's the foundation of everything that came after.
