Power Progression
Earth's Dragon Balls; Roland's modification of a parallel world's set is separate.
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Original Earth set | 18 | Seven fist-sized balls with red stars summon Shenron for one wish, subject to Kami's authority 18. |
| Golden-star set | 221 222 | Roland infused the balls with Red Shenron's power and Vital Energy. Their stars turned gold, and the evolved Red Shenron could grant two wishes 221 222. |
| Restored original-power set | 545 550 | Porunga ended their stone-state recovery early, but the balls lost Red Shenron's power and reverted to one-wish capability 545 550. |
| Blue-star set | 550 551 | Roland infused them with both red and blue dragon powers. Their stars turned blue, and Blue Shenron granted three wishes, including a mass resurrection 550 551. |
| Later strengthened set | 918 | As Roland's power grew, the improved balls could affect matters on a cosmic scale; their Shenron had grown several times longer 918. |
Known Sets and Forms
| Set or form | Distinguishing features | Wish capacity and conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Earth's Dragon Balls | Seven fist-sized orange-red balls created by Kami; their stars were originally red 18 550. | Originally one wish per summoning. They can revive multiple people at once, but their original rules permit only one resurrection per person 18 249. |
| Universe 7 Namekian Dragon Balls | Seven balls roughly the size of soccer balls; wishes must be made in Namekian 253 255 544. | Porunga grants three wishes per summoning. The balls recover after 130 Earth days; Porunga can repeatedly revive a person, but only one person per resurrection wish 255 545. |
| Universe 6 Namekian Dragon Balls | Kept by Namekians whose Dragon Ball-making inheritance remained intact 488. | Their dragon, Porunado, grants three wishes and can revive a group at once 488 624. |
| Super Dragon Balls | Seven creations of Zalama, each over 37,000 kilometers across, distributed between Universes 6 and 7 161 623. | Together they summon Super Shenron, whose power extends across the Zeno Multiverse 623. |
| Red and Blue Dragon Balls | Individual treasures associated with the God of Abundance, rather than ordinary seven-ball sets. The Red Dragon Ball is one meter across and contains a complete red Shenron; Roland later uncovers the Blue Dragon Ball within a crystal 137 222 489 491. | Their powers enter Roland and strengthen him; the Red Dragon Ball's power can also enhance other sets 221 491 492. |
| Gabu's Black Star Dragon Balls | Seven small balls with black stars, created by the black dragon Gabu 836 842. | Grant one wish when gathered. Unlike the dangerous black-star balls Roland recalls from another world, Gabu's do not carry negative energy or need to go dormant after a wish 836 842. |
Abilities & Rules
Summoning and recovery
- Gathering all seven balls of a conventional set summons its dragon. After granting wishes, the dragon returns to ball form and the balls scatter 18 77 255.
- Earth's Four-Star Ball became stone after a wish and required a one-year recovery period 77.
- After a Super Shenron wish, the Super Dragon Balls likewise acquired a rock-like surface and dispersed across universes 628.
Limits on wishes
- Earth's original Shenron cannot grant wishes beyond Kami's authority. Shenron refused to bring the powerful Sephiria to Earth, but granted Luo Lan a Metamoran Transfer Technique after declining his request for Instant Transmission 18 23.
- A dragon's power depends in part on its creator. Reincarnation can also prevent resurrection, and Earth's Dragon Balls cannot reverse cause and effect on the scale required to revive all the dead Saiyans of Planet Vegeta 430 451 536.
- Roland's modified Earth set requires his approval before a wish takes effect 289. Piccolo learns that a wish involving him needs his consent 430.
Uses beyond wishes
- Roland uses the one-meter Red Dragon Ball to focus moonlight during Saiyan training. Its released energy helps him control Great Ape power, though he cannot identify the precise mechanism 170.
- The Super Dragon Ball inhabited by the Babu race focuses sunlight, amplifying their sun-dependent abilities 161.
Story Role
- Luo Lan's first search: He obtains Son Gohan's Four-Star Ball and plans with Tights to have Dr. Brief build a Dragon Radar. After assembling the set, he summons Shenron and receives the Transfer Technique 18 23.
- Restoration of Planet Sadala: Roland and Sephiria use Earth's set to restore the distant planet. Roland catches the Four-Star Ball before it scatters so he can return it to Son Gohan 77.
- Roland's modifications: His golden-star set gives Red Shenron two wishes; he later uses those wishes against research into artificial Saiyans and Dr. Ruka 221 222 289. After Porunga restores the Earth set ahead of time at the cost of that enhancement, Roland remakes it as the three-wish blue-star set 545 550 551.
- Super Dragon Balls: Roland gathers the seven across Universes 6 and 7 to change Cell Jr.'s multiversal affiliation. He later summons Super Shenron to give Emma a legal identity in Universe 7; Zalama speaks through the dragon to initiate Roland's Dragon God Trial 623 626 628 688.
- Original Dragon Ball account: Grand Elder Moori recounts a Namekian legend in which one powerful Original Dragon Ball was eventually split into seven, while cautioning that its existence is uncertain. A later multiverse tournament offers Universe 1's Original Dragon Balls and three Namekian Shenron wishes as its prize 703 705.
