The Four-Star Dragon, Nuova Shenron

With four Dragon Balls safely in their possession, Goku and Pan set off in search of the fifth. After Giru locates the next Ball in a nearby city the trio land. Standing in their way is the incredible Nuova Shenron, the Shadow Dragon of Fire. Pan who has grown too confident for her good, having already defeated four previous Shadow Dragons goes in to attack alone, but Nuova Shenron knocks her out with ease. Goku demanded the dragon to put Pan down, but much to his surprise, Nuova quietly throws her out of harm's way and spares her life. He reveals that the wish that created him was when the evil King Piccolo wished for his youth back.

Goku and Nuova start to fight. Goku quickly learns due to the scorching heat that his opponent is letting off that his hand will burn off if he punches him and that he will lose his toes if he kicks him because of Nuova Shenron's ability to make his body reach temperatures higher than even the Sun. Goku attempts to take cover inside a building to wait for the right time to counter attack but is unable to shake him off.

  • Eis is briefly shown in his shelled form when looming over Pan, but he is already transformed by the time he enters the fray in "The Three-Star Dragon".
