Editing Nuova Shenron (section)

== Trivia ==

* Nuova Shenron's name contains the kanji for "four" (四), "star" (星), and "dragon" (龍).
* Nuova's name refers to a nova, an exploding sun, referencing his incredible fire powers.
* Nuova Shenron's personality resembles Piccolo's in the Piccolo Jr. Saga and at the start of ''Dragon Ball Z''; both are nominally enemies of Goku who nonetheless have a strong sense of honor and who aid their foe against a greater threat. His creation through the wish of King Piccolo, a villain who eventually turned to the side of good when reincarnated, serves as foreshadowing to Nuova's own defection.
* Both Goku and Nuova Shenron have teamed up with an enemy to defeat their dishonorable sibling. Each of them also perished upon doing so, only to be revived and perish again.
** Fittingly both can fuse in ''Dragon Ball Fusions''.
* Nuova was born from King Piccolo's wish to restore his youth. Coincidentally, he bares a resemblance to King Piccolo's son Tambourine.
* In ''Xenoverse'' series, he has special dialog when fighting Kid Gohan, where he will mention the time he (as the 4-Star Dragon Ball) rode around on Gohan's head (during the time when the 4-Star Ball was attached to Gohan's hat). He also has special dialog when fighting Piccolo, where he will remind Piccolo that it was his father King Piccolo's wish to be young again that created him.
** Due to being King Piccolo's reincarnation, Piccolo inherited his father's eternal youth as he stopped aging upon reaching his physical prime (as he is shown to remain in his physical prime in Age 1000 in ''Dragon Ball Online'' when other Namekians like Dende and Moori show visible signs of age). Its possible that Nuova Shenron is referencing King Piccolo's wish as said wish also benefits Piccolo as he will never age beyond his physical prime (as King Piccolo effectively wished to be restored to his physical prime which is likely why Piccolo matured into his physical prime in only three years after he was born).
* Nuova Shenron is the only Shadow Dragon who got reformed.
