Legitimate aspirations include eternal youth , immortality , bringing back a burnt forest or even a destroyed planet.

The Dragon Balls have been rendered inert three times : the first time was after King Piccolo killed Shenron after the last granted him his wish, and was later revived by Kami after Goku proved to him that there were still some good people in the world ( originally , Kami had no intention of reviving them due to the purpose for creating them being corrupted by the greed of man ) . The second time was just after Kami indirectly killed by Nappa , when it ended up killing that took Piccolo Nappa attack meant for Gohan , despite having been restored in the revitalization Kami . They were then rendered inert for a final time when Piccolo and Kami decided to gather due to Cell serious threat to the world . Goku and the other Z fighters did not initially consider restoring the Dragon Balls , but after cell eliminated all of the Royal Armed Forces , when they tried to attack cell while waiting ten days before the Cell Games , Goku decided to find a way to restore the Dragon Balls , even if it could not neutralize with Kami Piccolo .

Unlike the Dragon Balls on Earth, the Dragon Balls , about the size of basketball on the planet Namek to summon a different dragon, Porunga and can grant three wishes , due to its creation by Grand Elder Guru . From the years of Namek are shorter ( 127 Earth days ) , they can also be used more often . However , Porunga is initially only able to rebirth of an individual by desire , while the Eternal Earth Dragon may want many, even an entire planet 's population ( if you can state your will, a desire ) . Moreover, the Namek Dragon Balls require the summoner to say a password before the dragon can be summoned , and the desire to be spoken in the Namekian language ( the Z Fighters Dende used to translate your wishes ) . A notable advantage that the Namekian Dragon Balls has more than Earth can they revive a person so many times as desired ( something that even the upgraded Shenron Dende could not do ) . The Namekian Dragon Balls are one exception to the connection between its creator and its existence, since Guru, at the end of the Frieza Saga was able to appoint as the new Moori Elder Law before he died, after which the existence of Dragon Balls' rested on the destination, the new Old. It is not known if the Earth Dragon Balls can be transmitted in such manner. Some time after settling in New Namek, the Namekians decided to modify its existing Dragon Balls, giving Porunga the ability to grant the desire to resurrect an entire population not just individually.
