There's no lesson to be learned from that, except to try and minimize damage in the first place. This should not constitute misuse of the Dragon Balls. If they were to decide not to revive the innocent victims of Cell's rampage because "oh it's not natural" they would be assholes.
The main purpose of the Dragon Balls was to either to enable them to defeat current threats, or to restore the Earth and its population after a villain laid waste to it. In fact, to act in any other way than what they did would be irresponsible. Goku and the gang didn't even mis-use the Dragon Balls. GT's idea was "The misuse of the Dragon Balls lead to this enemy, and the group will have to learn from their errors for the ending of the series". But absolutely not in the way GT chose to do it (and I'm not talking about execution, this is still in the idea phase). The Dragon Ball's improved revival capabilities for necessary for Dragon Ball to be able to keep its tone.īut even without that, I do believe there is some merit to the idea of the Dragon Balls backfiring or giving birth to new enemies. Hell, Piccolo's instruction to Evil Boo would way too fucking dark if those people couldn't be brought back. It would also make the heroes much more irresponsible "Gohan, don't hold back for the Earth's sake" / "We need to train for fusion while Boo is wiping out cities". These are people who died due to the villains' actions, and it'd be a bit too dark for Dragon Ball to keep them dead because of wish limitations. The main effect of the limitless and mass revivals to avoid the nasty implications of what would happen to the innocent people killed in these attacks. However the second revival is only really used for Chaozu, until the Boo arc's mass revival of everyone. With the advent of the Namekian Dragon Balls, the removal of the one-death limit, and mass resurrection a lot of people feel it takes all the tension out of the series. None of it feels like a natural extension of Dragon Ball, and it's just appealing to some fan wish/belief that the Dragon Balls needed to have more consequences, because they were over used. I've heard this argument many many times before, and I feel it's the exact opposite of that. That said though, I'm a big proponent of the 'great ideas, horrid execution' idea - though some ideas are better than others - so we're probably set to disagree on this regardless. The Old Kai warned them about misusing the Dragon Balls, and not only that, but an arc bringing the Dragon Balls back into focus only this time as a problem themselves, is pretty much the perfect way to end the series, IMO.at least, if it'd been handled better.
How exactly are they nonsensical? To me, they're the only thing in GT that feel like a natural extension of where Z left us. Saiga wrote:No, I don't want the nonsensical as fuck Shadow Dragons to be a thing.
