Origin of dragon ball
Dragon Ball is a wish ball that has appeared since the early days of this manga, but the origin of this dragon ball is first told in episode 69.
According to the Elder who lives on Planet Namek, Dragon Ball was originally “a nature of giving a wish as a reward to a brave man who overcame difficulties and found out.”
Similarly, Monite, who lives on the planet cereal, said in episode 69 that “it is used for ceremonies to praise the heroes of the Namek people” and “it is not for fulfilling his own desires”. Opinions about the origin seem to be in agreement.
(See Planet Namek Origins for why Planet Namek lives on other stars)
Also, depending on the person who created the dragon ball, it seems that the size and the number of dragon balls to be prepared to fulfill the wishes vary.
By the way, it seems that the dragon ball on the cereal star does not become a stone for a year even if the wish is granted, so it seems that that area also changes depending on the creator of the dragon ball.
