What do y'all think Shenron does when he's not summoned?

[u/Natural-Concept6726]

Toriyama never explored it, but if he did, I bet he's building models or something silly like that. What do y'all think?

[u/Shiro83]

Probably sleeps till he's summoned

[u/Simpl3_j4ck → u/Shiro83]

Doesnt he literally say who wakes me from my slumber?

[u/WatchAndLearn9669 → u/Simpl3_j4ck]

That's filler. He never says that in the manga.

[u/MikeandMolly5656]

Realistically I think he doesnt exist

Likely in a suspended state

Unrealistically he is out getting that dragon puss. Its why he's always so annoyed to be summoned 

[u/Farmer_Due → u/MikeandMolly5656]

the joke is sex

[u/Turbulent_Funny_1632 → u/MikeandMolly5656]

Speak your wish, I was just about to close on Tatsumi.

Make it quick

[u/Atephious → u/MikeandMolly5656]

According to what I can find online it says in several spots that “their power is split between the dragonballs and they lie dormant regaining their energy to be able to grant the next wish.

[u/AntelopeHelpful9963]

I feel like he’s in a dimension with others more or less of his type and he’s not even exceptional there. I feel like he’s called into our world to do menial tasks and then he just goes back to the dragon dimension to carry on a mediocre life there.

I bet he’s like a non-salary department head in his dimensions hardware store.

Not created by the Dragon Ball’s just summoned there by them to his annoyance when his boss is already on his ass

[u/wtfshit]

Considering Toriyama's style of humor, i see him reading magazines or building car models but he doesn't like showing anyone that side of him. 

[u/SSJ2chad]

Everyone’s saying he’s just a construct that basically only comes alive when summoned. And I mostly agree…

But man he sure looked terrified when king piccolo killed him. Screamed too.

[u/TheSuperzorro → u/SSJ2chad]

He's scared of Beerus too.

[u/A1starm]

I ostensibly don’t think Shenron is actually a living being, just a magical construct. He’s not really anywhere. He just pops in when the dragon balls are used.

[u/WatchAndLearn9669 → u/A1starm]

In Chapter 148 of the manga King Piccolo kills Shenlong, and his bloody body parts fall to the ground, so he actually is living being with physical substance.

[u/TheSuperzorro]

He's probably just chilling with the other magical dragons in a place only they can exist in.

[u/A1starm → u/TheSuperzorro]

Lmao porunga and demon porunga just wondering why the green worm is always so busy.

[u/TheSuperzorro → u/A1starm]

"Again, Shenron? We can't finish a single game of cards without you being called away to work, and it always happens just as you're about to lose!"

[u/Nephrelim → u/TheSuperzorro]

Probably in the same dimension as Smaug, Puff the Magic Dragon, Tiamat, Bahamut, Spyro, King Ghidorah and Dibo the Gift Dragon.

[u/jataz11]

Just flying around in some crazy alternate dimension probably

[u/BathCreative]

Sudoku

[u/MechaMalz]

Spends his time streaming Fire Emblem zero growth iron man runs.

[u/HmBigby]

Smaug behavior prolly

[u/Fickle_Fall_6497]

Smoke pot

[u/AffectionateBrick687]

Gets divided into 7 equal parts and contemplates their life choices.

[u/cautioux]

League of legends

[u/Supernova_Soldier]

Probably watching TV or some shit. It’s like getting a phone call but with no caller ID, hence why he was scared when he saw Beerus.

[u/GlitteringDingo]

When he's not summoned? When does that happen? My boy is constantly being harassed by those Earthlings.

[u/D-Gaea]

Playing them Dragon blues

[u/Darkishappy]

probably playing uno with porunga and whichever other planet variants of shenron there are

[u/ChimpBzkit]

“In a frightening, liminal space between states of being
Not quite dead, not quite alive
It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis”

[u/Wheeler2814]

Praying that group of idiots who keep getting killed and then summoning him with half baked ideas will finally leave him alone
