Editing Shenron (section)

== Trivia ==

* '''Dragon Ball Logo:''' The original ''Dragon Ball'' logo featured a green "Chinese" dragon similar to Shenron, wrapped around the letters and eating the "o."
* '''Eternal Dragon:''' Although Shenron is referred to as the "Eternal" Dragon, he was killed by King Piccolo after granting him eternal youth. This implies that "Eternal" might refer to his immunity to aging rather than being invincible.
* '''Deaths by Villains:''' Shenron has been killed twice by villains: once by King Piccolo and once by Towa in the altered timeline of Age 850.
* '''Frieza's Story:''' During the Namek Saga, when Frieza recounts the story of the Dragon Balls, the dragon depicted is Shenron, even though Frieza had never seen him before.
* '''Dr. Slump Cameo:''' In an artwork by Akira Toriyama, Arale from ''Dr. Slump'' is shown holding and tying up Shenron.
* '''Design Changes:''' Shenron's design evolved throughout the ''Dragon Ball'' series, with his underside color changing from green to yellow or manila.
* '''Wish Count Inconsistency:''' There is a discrepancy in ''Dragon Ball Z'' regarding the number of wishes Shenron can grant. In ''Fusion Reborn'', he grants three wishes (which was a dub error; the Japanese version mentioned two wishes), while in ''Wrath of the Dragon'', he grants only one wish.
* '''Porunga vs. Shenron:''' By the time of the Majin Buu Saga, Porunga, the Namekian dragon, surpassed Shenron in power, able to resurrect any number of people at once without using additional energy, while still granting three wishes per summoning.
* '''Cameos in Other Games:''' Shenron makes cameo appearances in various ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' games.
* '''Dimensional Limits:''' In ''Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai'', it is shown that Shenron's power cannot cross dimensions or timelines. This contradicts the Fusion Saga's portrayal of Shenron's capabilities regarding the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
* '''Wishes in Dragon Ball Fusions:''' In ''Dragon Ball Fusions'', Shenron can grant a wish to change Tekka's appearance, voice, race, or gender, unlike in the ''Xenoverse'' series where Time Patrollers can only change their appearance and voice.
* '''Chinese Mythology Inspiration:''' Shenron is modeled after the spiritual dragon from Chinese mythology, known as Shenlong. In the Japanese manga, Shenron initially had no name, and the naming was a liberty taken in English localizations.
* '''Pronunciation Notes:''' The correct pronunciation of Shenron's name in Japanese transliteration is "Sheh-n-roh-n," while the Japanese on'yomi reading would be "Shinryuu." The Funimation dub often mispronounces it as "Sheh-n-rah-n."
* '''Finger Count:''' Unlike the Shenlong of Chinese mythology, which is said to have five fingers on each hand (a trait of higher-ranking dragons), Shenron in ''Dragon Ball'' has only four fingers on each hand.
