Canon suggests it's possible to summon a Dragon with a single Dragon Ball. Perhaps it requires only a single ball to summon, but all 7 to actually grant a wish? Did Shenron (or any Dragon) provide any explicit details related to this at any anime / manga at the DBZ universe? And, if so, do they contradict the canon showcased at this snippet?

No, Shenron cannot be summoned with a single Dragon Ball. In the Dragon Ball series, summoning Shenron requires collecting all seven Dragon Balls and bringing them together. Only when all seven are gathered can the magical dragon be summoned to grant a wish.

Maybe if the single Dragon Ball is cracked, but the shenron would most likely give you pain and dislocated bones instead

Shenron? No.
But the number of dragon balls needed to summon a dragon is decided by the Namekian at the time he made them. We have seen a two ball summon, so theoretically yes.

to put it simply no

Shenron requires all 7 to be summoned. this has been a consistent thing throughout the whole series. while each set of dragon balls have different rules, these rules have also remained consistent throughout the series.

also there’s the the narrative implication of something being possible. it wouldn’t make sense from a narrative perspective. Because firstly why do they constantly keep finding all 7 if only 1 is needed. and secondly it wouldn’t make sense narratively to reveal something like that but not have it pay off later on


any mention of an alternative way to summon Shenron is either a mistake in translation or a dropped/forgotten idea and therefore shouldn’t be considered as actually canon

from all the dragons we have met it hasn't happened and like someone already said its based on the creators will at the time of making the dragon ball or balls they always make it 2 or more from what we have seen in story.

like when it was mentioned that Cell's nucleus is in his head and he dies when it gets damaged, but Goku blew his upper half with kamehameha and he regenerated...
