“Dragon Ball Z: The Path to Power” (ドラゴンボール 最強への道), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1996, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) E164A
This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed in 1996 for the theatrical release of Dragon Ball Z: The Path to Power (ドラゴンボール 最強への道), produced by Toei Animation as part of the Toei manga/anime cinema programme.
Film background
Released in 1996, The Path to Power is a feature-length reimagining of the early Dragon Ball story, celebrating the franchise’s milestone era with higher production values and big-screen energy. It revisits young Goku’s first great adventure—his friendship with Bulma and the hunt for the Dragon Balls—while folding in fan-favourite elements into a streamlined, cinematic version of the series’ origins.
Poster design
A classic, action-packed Japanese anime one-sheet: young Goku rides a roaring purple dragon straight out of the frame, grinning with pure momentum, while the surrounding vignettes layer in key characters and threats. Shenron coils through the sky, vehicles and flying machines cut across the background, and bright, playful copy sells the adventure tone. The colour palette is punchy and saturated, with the bold DRAGON BALL logotype wrapped by a dragon motif and the title 「最強への道」 (“Path to the Strongest”) locking the design at the base—exactly the kind of high-impact, character-forward artwork that defines 1990s Japanese theatrical anime marketing.
