Story |
| Wanting
to give the humans something to work towards, the benevolent Kami
bestowed Shenlon upon the people of Earth. Unfortunately, people often
misused the dragon god. After it was killed by Piccolo Diamaiou, Kami
only revives Shenlon for the sake of people like Goku. |
After
becoming god of the Earth, Dende is asked to revive, and add power
to, Shenlon (he was destroyed when Kami merged with Piccolo during
the Cell saga). After the Cell Saga, Dende takes the time to further
power up Earth's Dragonballs. |
Porunga
was originaly formed from the dreams of Guru, the father of
all Nameks. Little else is known about Porunga's origins. |
After
Guru's death, control of Namek's Dragonballs was transferred
to Muri. Once he mastered their power, Muri supercharged the Dragonballs,
making them even more powerful than the Dai-Kaioshin himself. Needless
to say, the Dai-Kaioshin wasn't too pleased to learn this. |

| There is some contraversy
here. In volume 33, Dende states that he must limit Shenlon to two
wishes per summoning or it won't be capable of granting multiple revival
wishes (e.g. "Bring back everyone killed by Cell"). However,
in volume 39, Shenlon asks for three wishes. We find it most
logical that Dende took the time between the Cell and Buu Sagas to
find a workaround for this problem. |

 |

powerful than Earth's Dragonballs, Namek's Dragonballs are four times
larger! |

Size of the Dragons |
 |
 |
| We
can get some sense of the two dragons' great difference in size because
both were summoned in close proximity to Capsule Corp.'s main building. |
