[up][up]More than that, he was dead for millions of years. And wouldn't his soul just be in Babidi? Or was that not how that works?

[up]He probably still does have limits, Moori was apparently just better than Dende.

I'm not sure. Babidi's a clone but I'm not clear on whether he's a reincarnation like Piccolo or just a clone.

[up][up] He probably does but that's why I added "At least as far as the heroes are concerned." They only use the Dragon Balls for resurrection and Progunga seems to have no limitation that they'd run in to.

More importantly, I wonder if they're ever going to address the fact that Shenron is going to be useless for resurrection at this rate. He still has the same "Only once per person" limit and he's resurrected nearly everyone on Earth at this point.

Bibidi and Babidi have a father-son relationship much like Jango and Boba Fett.

Someone should just wish for Resurrection powers.

The ability to resurrect people is more costly than the ability to resurrect a planet and the six billion puny humans + animals and wildlife on it.

Just wish for immortality and the Rinnegan.

So does resurrecting people. Yeah, I know they say Shenron can't grant wishes beyond the power of his creator, but you never see Kami or Dende doing that. Heck, even Elder Kaioshin needed to sacrifice his life to resurrect Goku.

On another note, it's funny how Dragon Balls couldn't stop the climate changes on Old Namek, when they can recreate a planet, which seems a lot more impressive.

"Beyond the power of his creator" basically just means they can't manipulate a person more powerful than their creator without that person's consent. Shenron needs Goku's permission to teleport him but can teleport Bulma wherever he wants.

Maybe the climate changes were being done by someone stronger than Guru.....LIKE BEERUS!

Beerus sent that Climate Change guy to destroy Namek after he visited it and they only gave him water. He would have done it himself, but he was too hungry and wanted to go home quickly.

Perhaps Guru was not the Grand Elder at the time when the climate change hit. The Grand Elder may have been killed in the first wave of disasters, rendering the Dragon Balls inert.

Then, as the sole survivor of his people, Guru became Grand Elder by default. He began repopulating the planet by spawning over 108 Namekians, and also had to create his own Dragon Balls from there.

The first wish on Guru's Dragon Balls might even have been to end the climate shift and restore balance to the ecosystem.

So what are the more popular recurring fanfiction ideas from DBZ (other than redoing GT)?
