How to Create DragonBall Videos with AI in 5 Steps (2026)

Make a narrated DragonBall-style video in five steps: a Goku script, an AI voice, anime visuals and music, then edit and publish from Revid. Includes the settings and credit costs behind the example video.

To create a DragonBall-style video with AI, open Revid's DragonBall video generator, paste a Goku script, pick an AI voice, choose a media type and music, then click Generate video. Revid voices the script, illustrates each scene, adds captions and music, and gives you an editable video to export or publish.

The format already works in your favor, because a DragonBall narration is a faceless video. In Revid's analysis of 176,367 TikToks with 1,000+ likes posted between October 2025 and October 2026, faceless videos had a median of 114K views, and 17.4% passed 1 million. Videos with one person on camera had a median of 67K, and 12.7% passed 1 million. The sample only holds videos that already passed 1,000 likes, so it shows what successful videos share, not a guarantee. The full method is in our study of what makes a TikTok go viral.

Here is the finished example video. The steps below give the settings used to make it.

Step 1: Open the DragonBall generator and paste your script

  1. Open the DragonBall video generator from the link above. Inside the app, you can also click Create at the top of the sidebar (shortcut C) and look for it under All tools.
  2. Paste your script in the narrator script box.
  3. If you don't have a script yet, write one with the free AI script generator, then paste the result.

The example video's script came from the script generator with this prompt:

A dragon-ball themed story about goku

To direct the visuals without the narrator reading the words aloud, put scene notes in square brackets: Revid treats bracketed text as a note for the images, not as narration. For example: "[Goku powering up, golden aura, rocky battlefield]". A new line starts new content, so put each beat of the story on its own line.

Keep bracket notes descriptive (character, action, setting, color). Some newer ElevenLabs voices read short bracketed words such as [whispers] as acting directions, so a one-word emotion in brackets can change the delivery instead of the picture.

Prompt to try

Goku's true power isn't what you think. Write a 30-second vertical DragonBall narration: open with that hook, state the common belief that it's his Saiyan blood, reveal that it's his unbreakable spirit, and end by telling fans what to watch for. Epic, suspenseful tone with [Goku powering up, golden aura, rocky battlefield] style scene notes.

How to write a DragonBall script that holds attention

The example script follows a four-part structure you can reuse for any character:

PartWhat it doesExample from the video
HookChallenges what fans think they know"Goku's true power isn't what you think."
SetupStates the common belief"Everyone assumes it's his Saiyan blood or intense training."
RevealGives the new angle"His unbreakable spirit."
PayoffLeaves the viewer something to watch for"Next time you watch, pay attention to Goku's mindset."

Sample hooks in the same style, ready to adapt:

  • "Vegeta's real rival was never Goku."
  • "The fight that changed Dragon Ball forever lasted less than you remember."
  • "Everyone gets Super Saiyan wrong. Here's why."

Put the hook in the first sentence. If the first line is setup, viewers swipe before the reveal.

Step 2: Choose the narrator voice

Pick a voice in the voice picker and preview it before you commit. Revid has 1,000+ AI voices in 70+ languages.

The example video was narrated by Daniel, a British, authoritative, middle-aged voice. If Daniel isn't in your list, filter for a deep or authoritative male voice, which suits battle narration.

Punctuation shapes the delivery, so end every sentence with a period or a question mark. Use commas where you want the narrator to breathe.

If you would rather narrate it yourself, record your voice and use the From a link or audio option on the Create page. It opens the audio to video tool, which turns an MP3, WAV or M4A recording into a captioned video.

You can change the voice after generating. In the editor, open the Audio panel and click Re-generate next to a voiceover. On paid plans this costs 10 credits per started 500 characters.

Step 3: Pick the visuals

Under "Choose media type", choose how Revid illustrates each scene. Animated AI images is the default, and it is the best fit for most anime-style narrations.

Media typeWhat you getCredit cost
Animated AI images (default)Still AI images brought to life with camera moves (zoom, pan)1 (Low), 4 (Pro) or 16 (Ultra) per image
AI videoGenerated clips with real motion, from Seedance 2.5, MiniMax Hailuo H3, Wan 3.0 or Google Veo 3, choosable per scene (needs a subscription)Per 5 seconds: 15 (Low), 50 (Pro), 100 (Ultra, Veo 3, MiniMax H3), 250 (Seedance 2.5 1080p)
Motion graphicsAnimated text and shapes2 to 5 per second, minimum 15 seconds
Stock videosReal-world footageRarely matches an anime look
Your own mediaYour uploaded images and clipsYour files
Static / GameplayA fixed or gameplay backgroundSimple backgrounds

Keep Animated AI images for fast, stylized scenes. Switch to AI video only when a scene needs real motion, such as a punch or a transformation. Use stock footage only for live-action inserts.

Step 4: Add music, set the ratio and generate

  1. Pick a background track in the music options. The example used Paris - Else for an epic, suspenseful mood, and Elysian Ember is a calmer alternative if your library has it.
  2. Set the ratio: 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 16:9 for a regular YouTube video, or 1:1 or 4:5 for feed posts.
  3. Check "Estimated cost" next to the Generate video button. A 30-second video with Pro AI visuals and a voice-over costs about 40 to 80 credits.
  4. Click Generate video.

If a build fails, Revid refunds the credits automatically.

Step 5: Fine-tune in the editor and publish

Open the finished video from Videos (click its card) to load it in the editor. The left rail has Script, Text, Media, Transitions, Audio, Captions and Settings.

  • Fix a line: in the Script panel, edit the caption text. If the timing changed, regenerate the voice from the Audio panel.
  • Replace a scene: select an image clip and click Replace to pick a new file from your Library. To regenerate it instead, use "Regenerate/Edit image", which offers "Regenerate image" or "Edit existing image". On an AI video clip, "Regenerate from prompt" offers Re-animate, New image + video, and Edit with AI.
  • Trim: drag a clip's edge on the timeline, or press S to split at the playhead. Shift+Del ripple-deletes a section and closes the gap.
  • Export or publish: click Export (Export / Publish on free accounts). You can export in 720p, 1080p or 4K at 30 or 60 fps, and a 4K export costs 10 credits. To post, choose Publish to send it now, or Add to queue to schedule it.

Prompt to try

Vegeta's real rival was never Goku. Make a 40-second vertical DragonBall video about Vegeta's pride, with a deep authoritative narrator, a dramatic pause before the reveal, fast intense music and animated anime-style scenes of Vegeta on a ruined battlefield.

Tips for epic DragonBall-style videos

  • Pause before the power-up: add <break time="1.0s" /> in the script right before a transformation line to build tension. Pauses go up to 10 seconds. ElevenLabs and MiniMax voices honor the tag, but Gemini and Kling voices skip it.
  • Sound effects: add whooshes, punches and explosions from the Sound FX tab in the Audio panel, at 1 credit each.
  • Fast, intense music: match the track to the energy of the fight, then lower its volume under the narration.
  • One idea per video: a single theory or fact per video (Goku's mindset, Vegeta's pride) keeps the narration tight and gives you material for a series.

Make other anime-style videos

The same five steps work for other series. Revid has a Naruto AI video generator and a One Piece video generator. The manga video guide covers the black-and-white manga look. For ideas on what anime fans watch right now, browse viral TikTok videos about anime.

FAQ

Is the DragonBall video generator free?

You can start for free: sign-up is free, and new accounts get free credits to try video creation, with no credit card needed. Regular creation then uses the monthly credits of a paid plan, from $39/month. The Revid pricing page has the current list.

How many credits does a DragonBall video cost?

A 30-second video with Pro AI visuals and a voice-over costs about 40 to 80 credits. AI video scenes cost more, for example 100 credits per 5 seconds with Veo 3. The Estimated cost line shows the exact figure before you generate.

Can I use music from the Dragon Ball anime?

Avoid it: the official soundtrack is copyrighted and can get your video claimed or muted. Use a track from Revid's library or music you have the rights to.

Can I make the video in another language?

Yes. Write the script in your language and pick a matching voice (voices cover 70+ languages). To translate a finished video, use Translate in the project card menu, which keeps the edit, media and captions.
