If you have real life Dragon Balls....

Post by SilverPlaqueVII » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:26 pm

Like Shenlong in the series, my three wishes are getting me immortal, giving me muscle mass without the use of steroids, and of course, be the richest man in the world. If you want, if you have Polunga or Shenlong with your real life Dragon Balls, three wishes are welcomed.

Note: It's my opinion piece so I would understand magical wishes similar to a genie in a bottle. :lol:

Transform the world in some Shonen manga with magical powers.

That's one...

Inb4 "herp derp! more wishes!"

Probably to restore most of the worlds natural resources to last us another 200 years or more, rid the world of ignorance/intolerance and maybe be able to get with this one particular chick in my school. (hey I had to be a little selfish right? :wink: )

That would completely destroy the balance of nature, making it impossible to sustain life in the planet. Which sort of makes a paradox, since that is also sort of a bad condition.

In a way it's so hard to sit down and think of 3 wishes :P I guess my first wish would be ''to have great lungs'' because I've always had bad lungs my whole life that has limited me in a-lot of stuff. My second wish would be ''to start my own martial arts school in the Dragonball world'' Man this is hard :lol: and I guess my third wish would be.....? Thanks Shenron! I'll call you again sometime LOL :lol:
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Yeah now that I think of it, that would fuck shit up wouldn't it? :lol: Ok maybe just for most types of cancers like Pancreatic or Lung. But then again, I would feel bad that I would neglect someone with a different disease.... This is harder than I thought. lol

Ok I made a better one. :P

To have superpowers.

But without supervillains it probably would be super boring, and would only serve to some sort of egomaniacal attitude over regular people. And asking for supervillains would not be a good idea, since it would bring disasters to the world for a selfish reason, not to mention that in real-life the good guys not always win.

But from a omnipotent point of view, perhaps curing all diseases (or only the worst diseases) and ceasing all hunger problems may not be a good idea. Who knows what kind of global disaster would come from an almost indestructible global population, if our real-life fragile human life-forms already cause so much trouble? Not to mention that animal suffering shouldn't be ignored.

And of course there is also the question of immortality itself. If we are supposed to cure diseases to prevent all forms of suffering, shouldn't be prevent death itself? Which is the most obvious troublemaking wish.

Another example is restore Japan to its former glory before the earthquake and bring the gun victims in my city back to life (that includes hit and run pedestrians, drivers or passengers on car accidents, and others).

My wish could be bring a dismembered guy killed by Magnotta last week back to life (Sorry to go OT. In reality, he was arrested in Germany yesterday awaiting extradition..)

I'm too embarrassed to admit what I would really wish for...so for the sake of being unselfish and righteous, here's what I would wish for:

1. Have the world function according to John Lennon's song "Imagine". 8)
2. Have a safe, unlimited supply of some super fuel that provides energy to everything that needs it. :)
3. Clone millions of Natalie Portmans. :D

Wishing specific people in the news back to life seems unfair.

Riches, Immortality, and I'd wish for 10 more wishes as the last wish... and then just keep them on reserve.

That's easy.

1. Immortality - No death from age, disease etc.
2. Matter Materialization - Similar to what Piccolo and Kaioshin do.
3. Wish that I could enter any TV show, Game or Movie by going through the TV screen and any changes I make to the story I have a reset button on hands so I ca do an infinite number of things without consequence.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I would probably first wish to be rich enough that my family and I would never have to work again. After paying off any debts my family and I owe, I'd put that money in a high-interest bank account that would pretty much give me more money than I actually spend in a regular day. I'd use it to go do all the stuff I'm normally too busy to do because I'm at work making next to nothing. Sure, I'd probably buy a few extravagant things, but for the most part I'd try and live normally after the first year or so; just without having to go to work ever again.

Since my first wish pretty well takes care of any material possessions I might ever want that already exist in reality, I'd probably wish for something situational like someone I know being cured of a terminal illness or permanent disability or something that qould require that sort of magic to fix.

The third wish would be for a Dragon Radar, because it was probably stupid luck that made me come across the Dragon Balls the first time and, if I ever needed them again, I could use my new money and resources to gather them quickly for whatever charitable wish I needed them for.

If I had the Dragon Balls the Universe is mine. I'd wish for me to be a Saiyan, one. Wish for immortality, two. Last wish, more wishes....the Universe is at its knees.

I would wish to re-create the universe in my own image. Allowing my life and other people that I know to be a lot happier.

1st wish: Mind control powers. I would use these powers to mind control criminals by making them surrender (and dance like chickens to my amusement), have mob bosses and evil rich people give me money that I can keep for myself and give to the poor/charity, and umm.... other things... *pafu* *pafu* 8)

2nd wish: Shunkan Idou powers like Goku. However, I would make it fair so I would have to visit the place first so I can set the coordinates in my head. For example, I need to fly to Japan by plane first and then I can Shunkan Idou there. This will prevent me from teleporting to Mars and volcanoes by accident.

3rd wish: I want the power to turn food into any other food I wish while maintaining it's original nutritional value. For example, I can turn brussel sprouts into pizza and my body would get the nutritional value of the brussel sprouts.

Runner up: Morphing powers. I always wanted to be able to morph into someone else or an object. I'd really abuse this. :roll:

Runner up: Immortality

Runner up: Being able to cure every disease

Runner up: Being able to fly

1. Have all the powers of Buuhan. Pretty much covers every power I'd ever want. Ludicrous amount of power, liquid regeneration, flight, ability to heal people etc.

2. Infinite money (since I'd still rather do things the nice and moral way)

3. This vvvv

My first wish would have Goku like powers and everything! Second wish would be the ability to stop time. And third make everyone get along with each other and rid the world of truly evil people.
