 This month's featured article
The Power Pole (如意棒, Nyoibō) is a magical staff that is used as a weapon by Goku for most of Dragon Ball. The pole was originally owned by Korin, who later gave it to Master Roshi. Roshi presumably gave it to Gohan, who evidently gave the magic staff to Goku prior to the beginning of Dragon Ball. Goku uses the pole through out Dragon Ball, before finally using it to reach Kami's Lookout, where the staff remains until finally being seen in the final episode of Dragon Ball GT. The staff is capable of extending at least 363,300 km (225,744 miles), or roughly 28 times the diameter of the Earth. It is a very powerful weapon, and can never break. Goku's power pole is based of the staff used by Sun WuKong (In this case, Wukong's magic staff, the Jing Gu Bang) in the Chinese novel Journey to the West.
