Different wish granting entities different rules
A Djinn’s wishes are meant to serve as a lesson about understanding what you actually want while Shenron’s limitations are more about keeping any mortal who can summon him from stepping beyond their bounds, especially since we now have the super dragonballs implying significant limitations on what regular dragonballs are capable of in comparison.
Honestly it’d be interesting to see a comparison of wish granting powers to understand what their limitations imply about their roll in the story.
Aladdin should have wished for the Star Rod from Paper Mario. Instant story breakage achieved.
Only 7 dragon balls, eh?
One of those dragons was unlucky.
Or 3 were unlucky, and the 4th is lucky to have only lost 1 ball.
I stand by what Game Theory said and say Aladdin should have wished for Jasmine to become Sultan.
When though?
He thought she wouldn’t like him unless he was a prince. Which isn’t unreasonable
I am assuming altruism and insight into the bigger picture on Aladdin’s part, which admittedly is a big reach.
Aladdin could just wish to be the most powerful sorcerer of the world, turn into a giant snake and fight Jaffar. No way that would backfire
Could get more work done if he requested a Death Note.
Pretty sure he’s illiterate, being an orphan in medieval times and whatnot
Shenlong>Jinn/Div
If only Jafar had trained a bit more. He may have been to strong for the dragon to kill him.
Also, depending on the era. Shen-long will grant 1, 2 or 3 wishes.
transport jafar to the center of the sun.
Probably considered “killing”, though one may wonder where the limit is.
If someone is alone in a row boat in the middle of the ocean and I wish away their boat, did I wish for their death?
Who gets to decide that? Is there a court of genie law? In that case is it the genie or the master who’s being sued?
for insurance purposes it was the sun that killed him.

Why is this comic being presented on an original game boy?
The genie is pretty ancient, my head canon is that it’s just the genie’s personal rules over the millennia
In that case one wonders what would happen if Aladdin just wished for the means to kill Jafar himself.
I don’t get it.
In Dragon Ball Z, collecting all 7 dragon balls allows you to summon an all powerful dragon that will grant you one wish, for anything you desire. Wishing for someone’s death or resurrection are not limitations
I don’t know that anyone’s ever wished to have anyone else croaked with the dragon balls. But people have definitely been resurrected. A lot.
Also, Oolong got a pair of panties with them.
It sure would speed up the plot if they just wished for Frieza to die
The dragon (at least Earth’s dragon, Shenron) has been asked for feats that were too great for him to perform, though, and had to refuse the wish stating they were “beyond his power.”
We don’t know the limits of his power re: ass kicking. But it’s probably unlikely that Shenron could delete Frieza. Possibly Porunga (Namek’s dragon) could have. Who knows.
He might not be able to delete Frieza while Frieza was on Namek but if Freiza was on earth, he’s in Shenrons playhouse.
No he couldn’t kill King Piccolo because he cant kill those that are more powerful then his creator. Location doesn’t matter. And i think Goku once refused to be wished back to earth because he was training somewhere in space, meaning shenron couldn’t overpower him
I’m gonna have to do some rewatching on the king piccolo thing, but I always took that as Shenron just respecting goku’s wishes, because they have known each other for a long time.
Good points though, great discussion lol
I like the color scheme. :ر
I wanted to blurt out that it reminds me of the original Gameboy, but the url pretty much said it already. Xط
