    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.

          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.

        I think I remember the human chaff (Krilin, Yamcha) asking if Shenron could destroy Vegeta and Nappa’s ships while they were still en route to Earth.

        I also remember that, after beating up Cell, Krilin wanted 18 to become human, but that was “beyond” what Shenron could do.

        Watch DragonBall Z abridged if you’re interested. It’s short relative to the series, is hilarious, and keeps the story more or less intact.
