The Three-Star Dragon 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] Bulma obtains this ball from him in the story's first arc, and she keeps it until it is stolen by the Pilaf Gang.[2] After Oolong steals Pilaf's wish, the balls scatter.[3]
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.[4] Blue steals the ball briefly,[5] but Goku regains it when Blue is defeated by Arale.[6] Then Tao Pai-Pai also briefly steals the ball,[7] but Goku defeats him and regains it.[8] After Goku wins a divination from the Fortuneteller Crone, he leaves the balls with Upa while he goes to fetch the last ball from the Pilaf Gang.[9] Then the wish is made, and Bora is restored to life,[10] and the balls scatter.[11]
Just after Goku is defeated in his first confrontation with Demon King Piccolo, Chiaotzu discovers the Three-Star Ball in the mountains with Tenshinhan and the Turtle Hermit, the last of the five balls they gather.[12] When Muten Rōshi fails to capture Piccolo with his Mafūba technique, he dies, and Piccolo takes possession of the Three-Star Ball along with all the others.[13] He makes his wish, and then he kills Shenlong, causing all of the Dragon Balls to turn to stone.[14] Piccolo leaves the stones with the bodies of Muten Rōshi and Chiaotzu, and after he is defeated, God revives Shenlong. At Kame House, Bulma notices the stones are glowing again. Shenlong is called, and he revives those who were killed by Piccolo. The balls scatter again.[15]
Some time after Goku defeats Piccolo Jr. at the 23rd Tenkai'chi Budōkai, he gathers the Three-Star Ball at his house on Mount Paozu along with the Six-Star Ball and the Four-Star Ball, which is used as an accessory on Gohan's hat.[16] Then Goku is killed, and the balls are gathered at Kame House until Goku can be revived. The wish is granted, and the balls scatter again.[17] When Piccolo dies, God also dies.[18] Thus when Piccolo and God are restored by the Namekian Dragon Balls, Earth's Dragon Balls become active again even though it has not been a year since they were used to revive Goku. Mister Popo gathers the balls and makes the wish to restore everyone killed by Freeza and his men, and the balls scatter.[19]
