Super Dragon Radar
ItemAn enhanced version of the Dragon Radar designed by Bulma to detect the planet-sized Super Dragon Balls across the vast distances of the universe.
Development and Use
Bulma developed the Super Dragon Radar after learning about the Super Dragon Balls during the lead-up to the Tournament of Destroyers. The standard Dragon Radar lacked the range and sensitivity needed to locate planet-sized orbs scattered across two entire universes, so Bulma engineered this upgraded version to operate on a cosmic scale.
However, the device had a practical limitation: Earth sits at the edge of the universe, making it too far from the center of the search area for the radar to function effectively. To overcome this, Bulma enlisted Jaco's help to travel closer to the center of the universe where the radar could achieve better results.
The Super Dragon Radar proved its worth at the Nameless Planet during the Tournament of Destroyers. After the tournament concluded, the device detected seven Super Dragon Balls rather than the six that Champa had collected. This discrepancy led to the discovery that the Nameless Planet itself was the Four-Star Super Dragon Ball, hidden beneath layers of accumulated rock and debris. Whis destroyed the planet's outer shell to reveal the massive orb within.
