Piccolo: *upon the Black Star Dragon Balls being discovered* "Oh, those things. You see, God was sort of high off his ass when he first tried to make the Dragon Balls and that's what he got. He put them away so he could destroy them later but sort of completely forgot about the whole thing once he came down."
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I feel like it's skipping a very important step, you know?
Skipping that step is the whole point. Writing can be hard, especially without ongoing motivation. Documenting your ideas, much easier.
And a lot of people think doing so will get people interested in the work before it is released. It's why he have Unpublished Works on the Darth Wiki, to keep it off the main website.
I did it when I was much younger. I still like the wiki layout for putting thoughts together, so I've been trying to make an offline, personal wiki for my projects. Hasn't worked because I suck at computers.
It's pretty obvious that the Black Star balls were probably corrupted by the Nameless Namekian's hidden evil. It could have easily played a role in his decision to separate said evil from himself.
Funny, as much as we hate the BS Dragonballs, they are one of the few things about GT that could actually happen since they don't contradict anything from the series.
There's nothing saying Kami got it right the first time, and of course he'd never talk about the existence of such balls, knowing what the cost of using them would be. It's kinda like Bojack. Not canon, but easily could be since they don't actually harm the plot.
One Strip! One Strip!By original series metaphysics, the Black Star Dragon Balls would have ceased to exist when God and Piccolo fused and then never returned after Dende didn't make a new set.
There's nothing saying they couldn't have existed, but there is reason why they can't still exist.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Do the balls totally cease to exist, or do they just become inert (
) when the person who makes them disappears?
I mean, the main balls only became dormant when Kami and Piccolo fused, and Dended had to remake them.
So if Nameless separating made them dormant, then Kami and Piccolo refusing again would activate them again wouldn't it?
Of course it doesn't explain how Pilaf learned of them, unless King Piccolo casually mentioned their existence during the time the little troll worked for him, but there's little reason for that.

We have no particular reason to believe the Dragon Balls can't grant immortality. That was a driving force in the series for awhile and never once is it ever implied by people in the know that that isn't something that can be given. And eternal youth can be given and those two things are in the same ball park.
Really, if "granting immortality" is supposed to be a selling point on the Super Balls it doesn't even make sense because if Toei is following their own chain of events Garlic Jr. already shows that can be done with earths.
Leaving it to the dragon having absolutely no limits sounds better.

I still want to know what happens if you make a single-resurrection wish for someone who's already reincarnated.
- BABIDI: At last, I've gathered the Dragon Balls! Shenron! Resurrect my father/original version, Bibidi!
- SHENRON: Bibidi? He's been dead for thousands of years. This isn't going to be as simple as just putting a soul back in a body.
- BABIDI: So, what, it can't be done?
- SHENRON: No, it can, I just need to figure out where his soul went. Mmmmmmmmmm...there! It's done.
- BABIDI: So where is he?
- SHENRON: In space where his last mortal incarnation died.
- BABIDI: Shit! Second wish, bring him here!
- SHENRON: Your wish has been granted!
- RECOOME: HAI GUYZ RECOOME IS HERE!!!
- BABIDI: ...in retrospect, I should have just wished for Majin Buu to awaken.
