Synopsis
Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies (1986) is the franchise's first feature film, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Daisuke Nishio directs this 50-minute retelling.
It reworks the saga's opening from scratch. Young Goku, treasure-hunting Bulma, the cowardly shapeshifter Oolong and the bandit Yamcha all chase the seven wish-granting Dragon Balls. Standing in their way is King Gurumes, whose craving for blood rubies has driven him mad — only the Dragon Balls can quiet his endless hunger.
It's a quick, scrappy way into the Dragon Ball universe, packed with Toei Animation's trademark slapstick and martial-arts brawls and no long buildup. Masako Nozawa voices Goku here, exactly as in the series. A fun single-sitting starting point for newcomers. Stream Curse of the Blood Rubies (1986) online on iFILM.
