premiered on Fuji TV on February 7, 1996 and ran until November 19, 1997 for 64 episodes. Unlike the first two anime series, it is not based on Akira Toriyama's original "Dragon Ball" manga, being created by Toei Animation as a sequel to the series or as Toriyama called it, a "grand side story of the original "Dragon Ball.""

In addition to this, Toriyama also oversaw production of the series, just as he had for the "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z" anime. The television special episode, "Goku's Side Story! The Proof of his Courage is the Four-Star Ball", or "" as Funimation titled it for their dub, aired on March 26, 1997, between episodes 41 and 42, serving as a kind of precursor to the epilogue to the series shown at the end of episode 64.
