"Your bark's bigger than your bite."
— "The Five-Star Dragon"


Rage Shenron (ウーシンロン Ūshinron) is the Five-Star Dragon that represents the element of electricity.

Appearance[]

Rage Shenron is incredibly tiny in height, not even reaching up to Goku or Pan's knees. He has the Five-Star Dragon Ball on his belly. He also has a slightly chubby frame. He resembles a pterosaur, being red, having a beak-like face, and having a single horn on the back of his head. His Electric Slime Body Build Up state is a giant replica of himself with pink skin made from Electric Slime. Rage himself controls it from inside the middle of the construct's chest (where his Dragon Ball is).

Personality[]

Rage Shenron can be described as arrogant and power-hungry. Under the delusion of being the most powerful of the Shadow Dragons, he believes himself invincible. These traits prove to be his greatest weakness, as his obsession with power and desire to be the best lead to both his defeat in battle as well as his death. Like Eis Shenron, Rage is willing to use dirty tactics to achieve his ways and harm others. This is observed when he makes a desperate attempt to kill Pan with his Electric Slime after tricking her and Goku to let their guard down by pretending to surrender. This is very similar to what Eis did to Goku.

Biography[]

Background[]

Just like the other Shadow Dragons, Rage Shenron is born from the negative energy that resulted from the overuse of the Dragon Balls. He was specifically born from the wish used by Master Roshi to resurrect Goku so that Goku could fight against the invading Saiyans Nappa and Vegeta (both Goku and Rage acknowledged that they are kind of like brothers).

Rage Shenron appears

After defeating the bumbling and grotesque Haze Shenron, Goku and Pan continue their search across the devastated Earth for the remaining six Shadow Dragons. They do not encounter Rage straight away, instead observing his gelatinous Electric Slime, which had scattered itself all across the destroyed city they were in. When they meet Rage himself, Goku and Pan are confused by the fact that the terrible monster barely reaches Pan's waist, despite Rage's claims to be the most powerful of the Shadow Dragons. When they mention the death of Haze Shenron, Rage merely scoffs and states that Haze was the weakest of the Shadow Dragons.

Despite his size, Rage Shenron's ability to harness electricity through his electric slime proves troublesome for Goku and Pan, as their energy attacks are nullified by its electric blasts. Their energy is also sapped after they are mauled by Rage Shenron's electric slime. Rage then demonstrates his ability to turn himself into a titan by absorbing his energized electric slime. Goku transforms into his Super Saiyan 4 state, which angers Rage Shenron. Rage's electric attacks prove to be insufficient against the Super Saiyan 4 as Goku is not affected at all. Goku attempts to finish the fight by destroying Rage and his electric slime with a 10x Kamehameha, but surprisingly, much to Rage's credit, had not only survive the attack, but his electric slime is able to conceal the energy from Goku's attack before sending it back toward Goku. Goku shields Pan from this counter move thus taking the brunt of his own attack. Goku takes a tremendous amount of damage and is forced to revert to his childlike normal state. Rage Shenron proceeds with his assault by draining the remaining amount of electricity in the city, making his electric slime grow to a massive size, making him very difficult for Pan and Goku to escape from. Rage uses his slime to capture Pan and Goku and attempts to kill them both.

Unfortunately for Rage Shenron, it begins to rain, inducing an explosive short circuit throughout his entire slime body. Withdrawing to a safe distance, Goku and Pan watch as the Shadow Dragon tries in vain to scatter his electric slime again; this, however, proves impossible due to the slime's enormous surface area, which prevents Rage from taking shelter. Following the explosion of his slime body, Rage returns to his original size.

Goku and Pan find the badly injured Rage amid rubble and ask that he give up. Rage Shenron consented, stating that Pan can take his Dragon Ball, that she and Goku had earned it. However, as Pan reaches out her hand to take the Dragon Ball, Rage makes one last attempt to kill the young girl; Goku promptly destroys the weakened Shadow Dragon with a close-range Kamehameha.

Rage Shenron is defeated by Broly

During the events of the Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission manga, Rage Shenron is released by Black Smoke Shenron once again when Dr. Auto summons him. Unlike most of the other Shadow Dragons (other than Syn Shenron and Rage Shenron himself) who possess players of the game and confront the Dragon Ball Heroes, Rage Shenron stays at the Shadow Dragons headquarters alongside Syn Shenron (who is located inside a tank).

Once Oceanus Shenron returns to the Shadow Dragon headquarters, Genome suddenly appears and has Super Saiyan 4 Broly attack Rage Shenron, Rage Shenron tries to fight back by using his Electric Slime Body Build, but Broly easily breaks through using a Penetrate! like attack to destroy his Giant Form, he then grabs the small Shadow Dragon and smashes him into the ground, destroying him.

Power[]

Anime

Rage's powers and skills are solely based on electricity. As such, the only way for him to defeat his opponents is to deliver a strong enough electrical discharge so that his victims are shocked to death. As a result, the effectiveness of his abilities is limited and strong beings such as Goku and Pan are able to withstand the hits without feeling more than a slight numb on their whole body.

When using his Electric Slime Body Build to become Super Rage Shenron his electricity becomes strong enough that at 50% voltage he is able to make Pan fall unconscious, and then base form Goku as well using 100% voltage. The slime is also strong enough to withstand Super Saiyan 4 Goku's X10 Kamehameha and multiple Masenkos and Ki Blasts from Pan. Super Rage Shenron is able to defeat Goku and Pan while taking no damage. He only loses because it happens to rain, after which Goku finishes him off.

Omega Shenron most strongly uses Rage Shenron's powers of any of the other Shadow Dragons and would have been defeated quickly without the ability of the Electric Slime to regenerate his body.

Manga

Super Saiyan 4 Broly is able to easily pierce through Super Rage Shenron's body and destroy him.

Trivia[]

  • Rage Shenron's name contains the kanji for "five" (), "star" (), and "dragon" ().
  • Rage Shenron's overconfidence and delusion that he is the most powerful Shadow Dragon may come from the fact that he was created by a wish to revive Goku (considered the strongest fighter in the universe) and the fact that the wish that created him enabled Goku to save the earth from Vegeta and Nappa (which ultimately led to Goku's battle with Frieza and transformation into a Super Saiyan). Goku is also known to be good of heart (while Rage is pure evil). Rage's desire to be the best and arrogance may relate to Goku's Saiyan drive to fight strong opponents and push himself to new limits.
    • Ironically, his personality matches that of Vegeta when he faced Semi-Perfect Cell. The wish from which Rage was born was to protect the world from Vegeta and Nappa.
AfraidPtero(Ep288)

A pterosaur in "He's Always Late"

  • Goku considers Rage Shenron and himself to be like brothers because he was revived by the wish that created him. This is ironic, as Goku originally died sacrificing himself to defeat his actual brother, Raditz. Also, Rage Shenron shares some aspects of Raditz's personality (in that they are both overly confident, arrogant, and deceitful when backed into a corner).
  • Rage looks like a pterosaur, notably the ones who appear in the Dragon Ball Z episode "He's Always Late".
