The World Travelogue series is where we shine the spotlight on some of the most memorable locations in the world of Dragon Ball. The area being featured today is the Central City area—the geographical heart of the series!

The largest city on Earth, Central City is home to the World King and his regal seat of authority, King Castle. A portion of Central City was obliterated by an attack from Great Demon King Piccolo, with the entire city eventually falling under his control as a result. It also served as the stage for his battle against Goku. Cell's terrifying announcement of the Cell Games to the world was also broadcast from a TV station in Central City. And as Central City is the capital of the governmental federation that unites all regions of the world and is home to the planet's leader, the World King, it serves a vital role as the legislative and political heart of the Earth too!
