The Carddass Visual Adventure Special Dragon Ball Prism set from 2013 represents a later chapter in Japan's long tradition of Dragon Ball trading cards. Carddass cards had been a staple of Japanese collecting since the 1980s, and this prism variant continues that legacy with modern printing techniques. These special releases targeted both longtime collectors and new fans discovering the franchise, keeping Dragon Ball relevant in the trading card market well into the 2010s. Card #1 features Bulma and Son Goku, the two characters who begin the entire Dragon Ball saga together. Their pairing on the opening card makes thematic sense—Bulma's quest to find the Dragon Balls sets the story in motion, and Goku becomes her unlikely companion. The prism effect adds visual depth to their artwork, making this introduction card particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate both the series' foundational moments and the technical appeal of holographic printing.
