Ultimate Shenron

Ultimate Shenron's History

Ultimate Shenron (究極�?龍, Kyūkyoku Shenron, lit. "Ultimate Divine Dragon" or "Ultimate Dragon God") is a character in the Dragon Ball franchise. He is the third eternal dragon introduced in Dragon Ball. Like Shenron and Porunga, Ultimate Shenron can only be summoned by using a particular collection of Dragon Balls, the Black Star Dragon Balls in this case.

Appearance

While Shenron and Porunga are both shown to be comparable in size to a large skyscraper, Ultimate Shenron is shown to be larger than both of these eternal dragons combined. While coiling, Shenron has been shown as being roughly the size of The Lookout. Ultimate Shenron on the other hand is so large that his head alone is roughly the size of the lookout. Also, while Shenron has his "whiskers" on the upper part of his mouth, Ultimate Shenron has them on the lower part of its jaw. Ultimate Shenron's skin color is blood red rather than green and also had gold horns. Interestingly enough, he lacks the red eyes that the other eternal dragons have, and instead has yellow or blue-green ones. Ultimate Shenron's eyes are blue in the opening for Dragon Ball GT, the episode "The Game After Life", and the Hero Mode of Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi.

Dragon Ball GT

Black Star Dragon Ball Saga

In Dragon Ball GT, Ultimate Shenron is used to cause Goku to turn back into a child, in a wish accidentally made by Emperor Pilaf (though Pilaf was originally going to wish to take over the world).

Baby Saga

He is later summoned by Baby, and instructed to restore Planet Vegeta (which Baby renamed to New Planet Plant) and relocate it to Earth's solar system. Due to Baby using the Dragon Balls to make the wish, the one-year countdown from Pilaf's wish did not stop.

After Piccolo sacrificed his own life by remaining behind on the dying Earth, the Black Star Dragon Balls turned to stone permanently and Ultimate Shenron was never shown again.
