A new promotional video has been released for Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle, the second film in the iconic franchise. The trailer offers a glimpse into Goku and Kuririn's early adventure as they undertake a perilous mission for Kame-Sen'nin to retrieve a princess from the clutches of Lucifer.
Produced by Toei Animation, the studio behind the vast majority of the Dragon Ball saga, this 1987 film predates the events of the original Dragon Ball Z anime. It explores themes of martial arts and fantasy, fitting squarely within the shonen action genre that made the series a global phenomenon. The film is known for introducing vampire-like characters and a castle setting, adding a unique flavor to Goku's nascent journey.
As a prequel to Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies and a sequel to Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure, this film offers fans a look at Goku's development before he became the universe-saving hero known today. The trailer highlights the comedic and action-packed elements that defined early Dragon Ball, showcasing Goku's signature determination even in his youth.
