Senbei Norimaki develops a new invention called the Real Thing Machine. This device has the unique ability to transform any image inserted into it into a physical, real-world object. Excited by this capability, Arale Norimaki decides to test the machine using a comic book featuring Dragon Ball. She places the comic inside the device, anticipating the outcome of turning the fictional content into reality. This action sets off a chain of events as the machine begins its process, potentially creating something far more significant than just a drawing. The episode explores the immediate consequences of this experiment and how the characters react to the sudden manifestation of the comic's contents in their environment.
