Many, many years ago, a box containing a world of pure evil was given to Princess Oto of the underwater Ryukujin people. Her task was to defend the box and prevent it from ever being opened. But Princess Oto wasn't immortal, and at the end of her life she would entrust the box to a brave soul while she returned to the surface world and underwent a reincarnation ceremony.
Many generations later, Princess Oto has returned to the surface to prepare for the reincarnation ceremony where she is protected by a forest of woodland animals. The loyal pheasant Ohana has seen Oni in the area, which means the box of evil must have been opened.
Ohana rushes to tell the princess, but the mean baboon Bunkichi declares that he now works for a dragon, and Princess Oto has been taken prisoner.

Tansan's transformation as Princess Oto distracts Bunkichi long enough to allow Ohana and Chebo to sneak in and chew through the real princess's ropes. Outside, Shikakichi awaits, and they escape through the forest with Bunkichi on their tail. They safely get across the bridge and wait for Bunkichi to cross as well, when Kani Hei cuts one of the ropes. Bunkichi grips with all his strength and continues to edge closer, so Ohana directs Mitsubachi to sting the hand. Bunkichi falls into the ravine. The strategy worked!
Princess Oto thanks the woodland creatures and returns to the shrine. She tells that if the box containing the evil world has been opened somehow, then the Dragon Ball that contains the spirit of the Avatar of Darkness will be reviving. The dragon will take several years to fully regain his strength, but the princess knows she won't be able to undergo the usual 50 year reincarnation ceremony. She will have to prepare for an emergency reincarnation.
In her past reincarnations, the box of evil had been entrusted to a dog, a monkey and a pheasant. This time the box was entrusted to a brave young boy named Taro. Somehow, that boy opened the box and the evils from within are spilling out into the world. She has to undergo an emergency reincarnation.
Kintaro arrives at the princess's shrine, hoping to take the necklace in preparation for the reincarnation.

The kappa dives into the fountain and returns the pebble to Ohana, who takes it to the weeping rock. It disappears, revealing the invisibility cloak, which she trades with Tenchan for the necklace.
Ohana arrives at Shiraishi Fountain and returns the necklace to Princess Oto. Both her and Taro, the human who was entrusted with the stone, are ready to begin the reincarnation process. However, because the process is being hurried along, they will be reborn as children and spend 8 years growing up. That will be when Ohana will see them both again.
They enter the mysterious reincarnation craft, and Ohana agrees to remain at Shiraishi Fountain, waiting for the heroes to return.
Many years ago, a young boy named Taro lived in a small village on the beach. One day he rescued a turtle who was being bullied by the local children. The turtle introduced himself as Shinnosuke and thanked him by taking him to visit Princess Oto of the Ryukujin in her underwater Dragon Palace. Taro's bravery was applauded, and he spent several days there, but he came to miss life on the surface and it was agreed he would be sent back.
When he returned to his village, everything and everyone had changed. What had been days for him in the Dragon Palace had been many years on the surface world. Nevertheless, the new villagers took him in and he grew into a strong young man.
The turtle returned to the island looking for Taro one day, but (unluckily) he was set upon by the new village children.

Having answered Shinnosuke's questions correctly, he is entrusted with a box. He is not to open it under any circumstances, and the turtle will return for it in 50 years. This task has been given to him as he has shown utmost bravery and befriended the princess of the Ryukujin.

Taro heads north to hide it, but then he hears a scream from the well. The village children were playing and look like they're about to fall in. Taro spins around and runs through the village without thinking, but trips.
The other villagers reach the well first and help the children when a small box lands next to them. The seal had been unwound by the fall and it opens... Smoke pours out and a horrible sound is heard from within. When the smoke clears the villagers are no more. Stood in their place are soulless Oni. Taro runs down towards them, but he gets no response.

For this, he must atone for his actions by travelling to the Dragon Palace and receiving a special bracelet. With it, he will help the princess seal the dragon once again.
He wakes up, still underwater, when he hears several fish nearby. They have escaped the Dragon Palace as something is very wrong.

Shinnosuke is still at the palace. He was told to wait here for Taro, and he hands over the bracelet. Now they must hurry to the Shiraishi Fountain, where the princess awaits. Taro jumps on Shinnosuke's back and they swim away.
