Would you rather have the 7 Dragonballs or the Death Note?

What does the death note do?

makes you as cool as Light Yagami

Who is light yagami?

The top student nationwide in Japan.

Can't you only use the dragon balls once?

The nice thing about the dragonballs is you can't say any BS like "I'll just wish for more wishes" because Shenron won't allow that

Once you use them they turn to stone and can't be used again for a year I think

Nice. He does sound pretty cool

but really though what does the death note do?

But you could just wish for godlike power and then you wouldn't really need more wishes.

You write a person's name in it, and they die.

The death note takes your soul if you use it.

but weaker than the dbz crew at the start of the series

and I don't think anyone's ever actually wished for power, so he might be able to give less power than Kami has.

If I get at least two wishes, Dragon Balls. Wish for a crap ton of money and a working Dragon Radar, because the only way I'd get to use them again is if I had both the ability to track them down across the world after they scatter, and the money to actually do it.

How specific do you have to be with your Dragonball wishes? Can they be corrupted like an asshole genie?

Anyone who says they want a death note instead of magic orbs that can grant any (reasonable) wish should be on a list. Normal people have basically 0 use for something that can only kill people and isn't fun to use like a gun.

he doesn't corrupt wishes on purpose but you do have to be specific, pilaf and his gang were going for eternal youth but got turned into children instead

i feel like Goku ended up being the reason they got turned to kids though

You can't wish for things beyond Shenrons power, so magicking in a death note is gone.

the only limitation shenron has for killing is that it cannot kill something more powerful than itself

so a death note would work just fine since it can only kill people and nothing else

"guy dies on live tv execution style during his interview"

you think that wouldn't be fun

with a death note, you can wield much more than a gun y'know

Yes this is exactly the psychotic sort of answer that makes it clear that anyone who would ask for a death note should be in a CIA black site with a bag on their head 24 hours a day.

Which is an arbitrary limit. The example is killing the Saiyans. But they could have wished an asteroid hit their pod and it flies into the sun. Problem solved. Shenron isn't weak, the characters are just stupid.

Weird youre talking about how its wrong to kill but youre okay with somebody being in a cia black site with a bag on their head 24 hours a day

what if they used the death note to only kill rapists and murderers

Oh yeah, my bad. Clearly indiscriminate murder and imprisoning (aspiring) psychotic indiscriminate murderers are exactly the same thing and equally bad.

And like, did you ever read or watch Death Note? The life path of that Yagami Light fellow is probably relevant to this discussion.

No I already said I dont know what it is

I do think there are a lot of people that if they died the world would be a much better place though, and I am not a psychopath

or it's a fantastical scenario that literally will never happen because it physically can never happen so you can just have fun with it
