Why did shenron turn evil

Moreover, a seemingly endless succession of powerful villains forced the defenders of Earth to use the Dragon Balls just to repair the damage done to the planet and its people. Consequently, the Balls had less and less time to disperse the negative energy, causing a large amount of it to build up in the Dragon Balls. When the Balls could take no more, they cracked.

Upon attempting to summon the Eternal Dragon, however, Goku and the others unknowingly released the negative energy in the form of a dark Dragon named Black Smoke Shenron , who separated into the seven Shadow Dragons, each taking form around one Ball.

The battle against the evil Dragons can be considered the closing segment of the series finding the Dragon Balls was the beginning that teaches the Earth to stop relying on the Dragon Balls to solve their problems. It can also be seen as the heroes' ultimate challenge: when the Dragon Balls finally turn against the Z Fighters.

Interestingly most of the Shadow Dragons seem to justify and view the mayhem they cause as simply a form of punishment for overusing the Dragon Balls and tend to blame those that created them and the Z Fighters overreliance on the Dragon Balls for the destruction they cause. Although this is the same sort of twisted reasoning that Android 13 used to justify following his programming.

They are eventually all defeated by Goku except Nuova Shenron, who was killed by Omega Shenron for betraying him. Of the seven, only Nuova, Eis and Syn Shenron have martial arts skills which pose a serious challenge to Goku; the other four rely more on trickery and their elemental powers. Nuova Shenron is believed to have the least negative energy of the Shadow Dragons, due to his morals and the wish that created him.

While most of the other dragons were made by very selfless wishes or in the case of Oolong 's underwear wish, which created Oceanus, a wish in the gray area , Nuova is created by a very selfish wish made by King Piccolo , who wishes for his youth and power to be restored.

During the events of the Jaaku Missions Saga , the Shadow Dragons are released once again, and most take possession of a player avatar in the Dragon Ball Heroes dimension. Auto summons him. Nimu is kidnapped and possessed by Oceanus Shenron, gaining her cracked Dragon Ball on his forehead, and fights against Beat. Nimu is freed by Beat, the two of them defeat Oceanus Shenron, who flees. After Fasha is defeated, Haze Shenron gains a "Super" form thanks to Oceanus Shenron who appears but then quickly leaves again after powering him up, Haze Shenron manages to defeat Froze's team but is then obliterated by Froze after the latter used a Super Class-up.

Nico is possessed by Naturon Shenron, gaining a cracked Dragon Ball on her forehead, and fights against Note and Forte. Note and Forte then use their own Super Class-ups and then take on the Super Saiyan 2 form to fight against Nico and her team. The Giraffe and Shadow Dragon have a similar value, with the Giraffe falling off a bit. She is the only female Evil Dragon. She is the third Shadow Dragon to fight Goku. King Piccolo Saga Shenron is killed by King Piccolo after granting him his youth After King Piccolo uses the Dragon Balls to regain his youth, he murders Shenron before he can disperse to prevent anyone else from using the Dragon Balls against him.

That said Sakura is has grown and she has reached a level where she is capable of defending her self so she deserves credit for that too! Skip to content Helpful tips. The dragon balls are a useful tool for the cast to have. If any character perishes, or a major catastrophe happens, they can just use the dragon balls to wish everything back to normal.

If their creator dies, then the dragon balls, and the Eternal Dragon, cease to exist. The same thing when Guru passed during the Namek Saga, the Namekian dragon balls also became stone and no longer work. Ownership of the Namekian dragon balls can, fortunately, be passed down. When Dende came to Earth to replace Kami, he had to create his own dragon using what remained of the original Shenron. The dragon balls have always been an easy out for the characters to use.

Chaos and destruction became nonissues for the protagonists as they can literally wish all their problems away. It is honestly one of the more frustrating aspects of Dragon Ball , as mortality really loses meaning once the dragon balls were able to pretty much make any wish possible. Dende apparently turned off the dragon balls and Shenron. It seems like Dende was just as frustrated with Earthlings overreliance on the dragon balls as the fans were. When Kami and Piccolo became one again, the dragon balls became useless again, as Kami no longer exists.

It was good fortune that Dende was able to reuse the old Shenron to make an upgraded version of the Eternal Dragon. If Dende had to rebuild a new dragon from scratch, he claims that it would take about a hundred days. A hundred days seems like a relatively small amount of time to create something so omnipotent. Shenron and the other Eternal Dragons are not the only dragons within the Dragon Ball universe. Well, at least not in the world of filler in Dragon Ball.

Icarus was kind of a baby dragon, first appearing in the Tree of Might movie. He would disappear around the time Gohan goes to High School. It is never explained how Icarus, who was clearly labeled as a dragon, is related to the Eternal Dragons, the only other known dragons in the world Dragon Ball.

Side note, King Ghidorah, the giant dragon monster from the Godzilla franchise, makes a background cameo in the original Dragon Ball show. It turns out Akira Toriyama, the author of the Dragon Ball manga, likes to make reference to Ghidorah his other work as well. Shenron seems to know everything. How can Shenron have information that not even his creators were aware of? He also somehow knew what the Super Saiyan God was as well, yet, Goku wasted a wish to get that information out of him.

Wishes are illogical in nature, so they can break any rules for all I care. Who told him, or is he just Omni-knowledgeable? Across the four sagas, Shenron has been summoned five times.

He is summoned once in the Saiyan Saga when the cast used their one wish to revive Goku. Popo use their wish to revive all the innocents slain by Frieza and his forces. In the Androids Saga, the new and improved Shenron is summoned to grant two wishes.

The two wishes were to revive everyone Cell eliminated and to remove the bombs in Androids 17 and The new and improved Shenron is summoned to grant two wishes. Shenron is summoned twice in the Buu Saga. He was also summoned four times in the original Dragon Ball series. Recently Toei has announced that there will be a new Dragon Ball movie for December of this year. It would be the twentieth film in the Dragon Ball franchise not including the awful Dragon Ball Evolution.

Shenron, at this point, has already appeared in eleven of the current nineteen movies. He is generally used in these films by the villains to grant their wish. Even though his appearances in all these films are mostly just cameos, he is still one of the most recurring characters in all the films.
