As a die-hard Dragon Ball fan with over two decades of dedication under my belt, I must say that the latest addition to the franchise, Dragon Ball Daima, has truly caught my attention. With its unique storyline and intriguing twists on familiar characters, it’s safe to say that Akira Toriyama hasn’t lost his touch one bit.
heads up: What follows reveals key plot points from the second episode of Dragon Ball Daima titled “Glorio,” currently available on Crunchyroll. Enjoy, but be prepared!
Key Takeaways
- Shenron can now grant three wishes, but only to those he considers regulars.
- Becoming a “regular” and receiving three wishes is likely tied to the number of times someone summons Shenron.
- Black wishes, like eliminating someone, may not be granted by Shenron, implying a division between white and black magic.
In the second episode of the series Dragon Ball Daima, titled “Glorio”, the freshly crowned ruler of the Demon Realm, Gomah, employs an ancient Namekian named Neva to perform magic and gather the Earth’s Dragon Balls. His wishes? First, he aims to transform the Z Fighters and their companions into first-graders, while those already children become babies – a plan that successfully comes to fruition. However, his second wish, for a powerful artifact known as the Evil Third Eye, was not fulfilled. It seems that Shenron’s three-wish rule is an extra perk for frequent users, but it’s unclear whether this restriction was put in place by Dende as a safety measure or if it’s simply a limitation of his powers.
In the Cell Saga, Piccolo and Kami merged again, leaving Earth without a protector. To fill this gap, Goku journeyed to New Namek in search of a replacement Guardian, eventually choosing Dende for the job. Not long after taking up his role, Dende renewed the Dragon Balls on Earth and enhanced Shenron’s powers, allowing him to grant three wishes rather than one. Previously, this upgrade came with a stipulation: if one wish was used to resurrect numerous individuals, only two subsequent wishes could be made. However, it appears that a new limitation has since been disclosed.

To be considered a “regular” by Shenron who grants three wishes, someone might need to summon or make wishes to him multiple times. However, King Gomuh didn’t receive an exact number from Shenron, so we can only estimate based on the number of times the Z Fighters summoned and made wishes to Shenron until Dende recreated Earth’s Dragon Balls.
Prior to this, it’s important to note that not necessarily the same individual has to make a wish to Shenron. In other words, being a regular isn’t tied to one specific person. This is because, up until the Cell Saga, no character had made more than one wish to Shenron. Instead, being part of the group that summons him or merely being present at the time seems to be what qualifies someone as a regular. Additionally, since different groups summon Shenron on various occasions, he might have the ability to recognize and remember the individuals in these groups.
In the original Dragon Ball series, Shenron, the dragon, granted five wishes to the Z Fighters, making it six if you consider Demon King Piccolo’s wish for youth. Although Piccolo was not officially a member of the Z Fighters at that time and was more like their adversary, Shenron might still acknowledge him because, in essence, Piccolo is a reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo. Here is a list of all the known wishes made by the Z Fighters or those closely associated with them before Dende took over as Guardian. This list also includes who summoned Shenron for each wish.
- In Dragon Ball, episode 12, “A Wish to the Eternal Dragon”, Emperor Pilaf summons Shenron, then Oolong wishes for the world’s most comfortable pair of underwear.
- In Dragon Ball, episode 78, “The Eternal Dragon Rises”, Goku summons Shenron, then Upa wishes for his father Bora to come back to life.
- In Dragon Ball, episode 112, “King Piccolo’s Wish”, Demon King Piccolo summons Shenron and wishes for his youth to be restored.
- In Dragon Ball, episode 126, “Eternal Dragon Resurrected”, it is unclear who takes the credit for summoning Shenron since multiple people summon him at once. Yamcha then makes a wish to revive everyone killed by Demon King Piccolo and his sons.
- In Dragon Ball Z, episode 15, “Counting Down”, Master Roshi summons Shenron and wishes for Goku to come back to life.
- In Dragon Ball Z, episode 99, “Approaching Destruction”, Mr. Popo summons Shenron and wishes to revive everyone on Namek killed by Frieza and his henchmen.
It seems reasonable to say that regularly summoning Shenron after five or six attempts might be the norm, but it’s quite a demanding task indeed. However, it could also be possible that merely collecting the Dragon Balls twice is considered regular. Given the rarity and difficulty of finding the Dragon Balls, it’s safe to assume that only a select few should manage to do so even once in their lifetime. Not everyone has access to Dragon Ball detectors, ancient Namekians with magical abilities, or friends who can travel faster than light, making the quest for these artifacts a significant challenge.
Another Rule Concerning Shenron’s Wishes Revealed
White and Black Magic and Wishes
In the first episode of “Dragon Ball Daima” titled “Conspiracy”, as per Degesu’s explanation, Shenron, the wish-granting dragon, employs what is known as white magic to fulfill wishes. This means that he cannot grant so-called ‘black wishes’. While the specifics of a black wish aren’t clearly defined, it appears that requests involving harm or elimination of someone could be classified as such. This rule is why King Gomah opted to transform the Z Fighters into children instead of eradicating them altogether. If the Dragon Balls on Earth function with white magic, then perhaps the Dragon Balls in the Demon Realm operate with black magic. In this case, “Dragon Ball Daima” might explore further the regulations that govern the Eternal Dragons in future episodes.
However, what would you desire from the Earth Dragons’ Balls? Given that their power likely stems from positive or “white” magic, it seems unlikely that a malicious wish such as eradicating them would be granted.
In just a few episodes, the new series Dragon Ball Daima has been unveiling significant revelations and expanding the mythology of Dragon Ball. It leaves us wondering what other surprises might be hidden within the last creation by Akira Toriyama for his devoted fans.
Dragon Ball Daima is now available to stream on Crunchyroll and Netflix. The release date for Dragon Ball Daima, episode 6, is set to be November 15, 2024 at 10:00 AM PT.
