Shenron is one of the most iconic characters to return to Dragon Ball DimaThe recurring wish-granting dragon born to Earth, but he was historically a capricious dragon quickly falling below Porunga in the pecking order. Still, with a wish-granting dragon capable of returning multiple characters to life, limitations are written into his powers even as they expand to prevent him from being the biggest deus ex machina in the series. However, in Dragon Ball Dima, Shenron refused to grant Goma more than one wish Because the Demon King is not considered a “regular user.”
This implies that Shenrun picks favorites in Dragon Ball DAIMA Version of events in the timeline, an entertaining way to complicate Gomah’s simple plans for ascension and leveling the playing field. Shenron may not realize it, but he may have mitigated a greater threat: Gomah’s desire to obtain the evil third eye to consolidate his power in the demon realm. But this makes for a surprising and interesting development, with the Eternal Dragon of the Demon Realm being all the more compelling and a possible reveal in future episodes of Dragon Ball DAIMA.
Shenron only grants Gomah one wish in Dragon Ball DAIMA
The eternal dragon of the earth is more fickle in the new anime
After Gomah’s bomb development using Shenron to de-age Goku and his friends in dragon ball dima, Episode #2 confirms that Shenron Willy limits the Demon King to only one wish. Shenron’s powers have always had limitations, such as not being able to revive the dead for more than a year. However, the Eternal Dragon has fascinating loopholes, as in Dragon Ball p Episode #240 When only one wish is used, thus reducing his wait time to four months instead of a year. Shenron is still less powerful than Namek’s Porunga Shows more effort for those who challenge him often.

Shenron is so interested in Goma’s plans to remain the most powerful character in Dragon Ball Dima Due to his caprice in episode #2, he is forced to kidnap Dende, Earth’s guardian, to prevent the wish from being reversed. In Gomah’s defense, this is a reasonable tactical choice, even if it effectively means kidnapping Dende who is also converted to his baby form in the process. However, this moment in Dragon Ball Dima Adds depth to Shenron’s pre-existing differences with Namek’s Eternal Dragon, Porunga.

While it’s a stretch to say DAIMA Recommend everything about Shenron Dragon Ball Lore, dismissing based on unfamiliarity with the user, despite Dende giving him the ability to grant two additional wishes, is an amusing twist. In previous cases, vi Dragon Ball p Episode #21, Shenron refuses certain wishes beyond his guardian’s powerSuch as killing Vegeta and Nappa. But an outright refusal, not unusual in the case of Porunga on Goku’s behalf in chapter #329 of the Dragon Ball Manga, is especially unusual in Dragon Ball Dima.
Given Akira Toriyama’s tendency to recon and retool the mechanics of dragon ball, It’s likely not a change that’s meant to be earth-shattering, but merely highlights quirks in Shenron’s power to be a surprising hindrance to Gomah’s path to ascension. It plays into a mentality that the character continues to display, where no one, be it Eternal Dragons or contacts with the Multiverse, seems to show Gomah respect as the Demon Realm’s de facto ruler. But Shenron’s presence reminds fans of an enticing revelation Dragon Ball DAIMA Future.

With Shenron typically seen as weak but still indispensable when compared to Porunga, the latter’s abilities allow him to consistently revive characters en masse on a planetary scale, such as after Moori’s upgrade in Dragon Ball p Episode #283. But even eternal dragons like Porunga are implicitly limited to white wills Dragon Ball DimaWith the demon realm lurks an eternal dragon that implicitly provides their harmful antithesis. The limitation to more of a healing-focused wish system is part of why Gomah, even if he were to use Porunga, would likely only shrink Goku into Dragon Ball Dima.
But the Eternal Dragon of the Demon Realm is an interesting element of Dragon Ball Dima That’s a closely guarded secret, given the Tamagami’s presence to guard their Dragon Balls. The Demon Realm’s Dragon Balls are also much larger than Namek, but still smaller than the Super Dragon Balls, another possible connection from DAIMA to Super. The series is poised to have a very powerful and potentially evil Eternal Dragon. But for now, with Shenron Inaccessible while Dende remains kidnapped, all eyes are turned to the Demon Realm’s Eternal Dragon Inn Dragon Ball Dima.
