The search for the seven magic balls continues!
After meeting his match in the World Martial Arts Tournament,
Goku embarks on a mission to recover the Four Star Dragon Ball
that once belonged to his grandher. His treacherous quest will
take him from the terrifying heights of Muscle Tower to the
darkest depths of the deep blue sea. But with the Flying Nimbus
under his feet and Bulma’s Dragon Radar leading the way – there’s
nothing mighty Goku can’t handle.
With a dangerous new adversary out to get him, this will be
Goku’s most dangerous adventure yet. The sinister Red Ribbon
Army, led by cigar-chomping Commander Red, is determined to seize
the seven Dragon Balls and use them to conquer the world! Watch
as colonels, generals, ninjas, android pirates, and giant pink
monsters use every dirty trick in the book to stop Goku from
getting his hands on the magic Dragon Balls!
Enjoy the next chapter in the saga of this legendary warrior with

----
The second season of the hit fantasy Dragon Ball concludes the
story line involving pint-sized Emperor Pilaf and focuses on
Goku's battles with the nasty officers of the Red Ribbon Army.
The evil General Red wants the magic Dragon Balls to make him
ruler of the world; Goku wants the Four Star Ball as a souvenir
of his adoptive grandher, who owned it. Chuckling merrily as
he goes from battle to battle, the irrepressible Goku dispatches
the minions of General White in Muscle Tower and befriends
android Number Eight (whose appearance and kindly demeanor may
remind American viewers of Milton the Monster). After a visit to
Bulma, Goku tackles effete General Blue and a robot pirate on a
hidden island. Season 2 ends as Goku challenges Korin, the cat
who controls magical, strength-giving water atop a precipitous
tower. Goku needs the water to grow stronger and defeat assassin
Tao Pai Pai, who murdered his friend Oopa's her, Bora.
Although Goku's adventures will delight legions of fans, these
episodes include some of the most egregious stereotypes in the
Dragon Ball franchise: Oopa and Bora are clichéd American Indians
in war paint and feathers, while General Blue minces and swishes
(his dialogue in the subtitles is quite offensive). Parts of the
episodes set at Muscle Tower were recut into the fourth Dragon
Ball movie, The Path to Power (Saikyou e no Michi, 1996), also
known as "The Way to Become the Strongest." Rated TV 14, but
appropriate for ages 12 and up: nudity, risqué and toilet humor,
cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, alcohol and use).
