The Three-Star Ball is one of the seven Dragon Balls. There are several distinct Three-Star Balls: from Earth's Dragon Balls, the Namekian Dragon Balls, the Ultimate Dragon Balls, and the Super Dragon Balls.
Earth's Dragon Balls
The Turtle Hermit claims to have found the Three-Star Ball on the bottom of the ocean about 100 years before the story began.[1][2] Bulma obtains this ball from him in the story's first arc, and she keeps it until it is stolen by the Pilaf Gang.[3][4] After Oolong steals Pilaf's wish, the balls scatter.[5][6]
After the 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai, Goku sets out to find his lost Four-Star Ball and runs into the Red Ribbon Army who are also searching for the Dragon Balls. The Three-Star Ball is the third ball Goku finds, in a pool underneath a Pirate Cave. To obtain the ball, Goku travels under the sea with Bulma and Kuririn, and Goku defeats the pirates' robot Security Guard, a talking Octopus (which Goku eats), and General Blue, though he is saved from Blue's telekinesis by a rat in this first encounter.[7][8]
