Dragon Ball has created some of the most interesting characters in the series. One of the core components of the show is the Dragon Balls, which people attempt to collect. Once these balls are collected, Shenron appears and grants the person a wish.

Plenty of characters lusted after power and attempted to obtain these balls to dominate the world and receive immense power. Much like these characters, Pilaf also attempted to rule over the world.

However, there was one particular embarrassing wish that saved the world. These events took place in the GT version of the animanga series. Let’s find out what the embarrassing wish was as well as the aftermath of this wish.

As stated earlier, it was Pilaf who was about to ask Shenron for a wish, which according to Pilaf, would allow him to rule the world. He wanted Shenron to restore his and his gang's youth. This was because Pilaf assumed that it was a necessary step to rule the world. However, a bizarre turn of events led to him not realizing his goal. Just when he was about to make his wish to Shenron, Oolong interrupted.

Oolong isn't particularly regarded as the smartest person in the animanga series. It was his wish that caused a chain of events and it is also one of the most underutilized wishes in the series. Oolong decided to ask Shenron for a pair of the world's most comfortable underwear. This was the most embarrassing wish in the Dragon Ball series and it became the one that saved the world.

However, the aftermath was rather hilarious. Those who have watched the series will be aware of Shadow Dragons. These entities are the result of the balls being overused in the series. Shadow Dragons are quite negative and have malicious intent. Most Shadow Dragons in the series are born from wishes that are quite grand. However, Oceanus Shenron was born from Oolong's wish.

She is one of the most popular Shadow Dragons because she was born from a wish that requested Shenron for the most comfortable pair of underwear. She also had an interaction with Gohan in the GT series. Goku even instigated her and asked her about her creation. He was laughing as Oceanus Shenron was created because someone asked for a pair of underwear.

These are some of the events that were triggered simply because Oolong interfered with the process. Otherwise, Pilaf and his gang would have gotten younger in the series. While we don't know the effect that would have had, it certainly stopped him from dominating the world. This is how the most embarrassing wish in the animanga series saved the world.
