They are eventually all defeated by Goku except Nuova Shenron, who was killed by Omega Shenron for betraying him. The Shadow Dragons are (in order of appearance): Black Smoke Shenron (the dark Dragon summoned from the corrupted Balls, who consumes them and separates into the other seven), Haze Shenron, Rage Shenron, Oceanus Shenron, Naturon Shenron, Nuova Shenron, Eis Shenron and Syn Shenron, who becomes Omega Shenron after absorbing the other 6 Shadow Dragons' Dragon Balls. (Although this is the same sort of twisted reasoning that Android 13 used to justify following his programming.) Interestingly most of the Shadow Dragons seem to justify and view the mayhem they cause as simply a form of punishment for overusing the Dragon Balls and tend to blame those that created them and the Z Fighters overreliance on the Dragon Balls for the destruction they cause. It can also be seen as the heroes' ultimate challenge: when the Dragon Balls finally turn against the Z Fighters. The battle against the evil Dragons can be considered the closing segment of the series (finding the Dragon Balls was the beginning) that teaches the Earth to stop relying on the Dragon Balls to solve their problems. The fight against the Shadow Dragons makes up the events of the Shadow Dragon Saga. Upon attempting to summon the Eternal Dragon, however, Goku and the others unknowingly released the negative energy in the form of a dark Dragon named Black Smoke Shenron, who separated into the seven Shadow Dragons, each taking form around one Ball.
When the Balls could take no more, they cracked. Consequently, the Balls had less and less time to disperse the negative energy, causing a large amount of it to build up in the Dragon Balls. Moreover, a seemingly endless succession of powerful villains forced the defenders of Earth to use the Dragon Balls just to repair the damage done to the planet and its people. Originally, the difficulty of finding and assembling all seven Dragon Balls meant that they had plenty of time to disperse the negative power accumulated from each wish, but increasingly advanced technology (such as the Dragon Radar) made finding the artifacts a simple task. In response, the Dragon Balls would absorb the negative energy and disperse it harmlessly over many years.
Every time a wish was made with the Balls, negative energy was released along with the positive energy. The Shadow Dragons are a direct consequence of the numerous uses of the Dragon Balls over the course of the Dragon Ball series. The Shadow Dragons were all part of one original Dragon.īiography Dragon Ball GT Shadow Dragon Saga
