** It is stated several times that the Dragonballs are unable to grant any wish that is beyond the power of the creator of the Dragonballs. This means that said creator would have to be able to defeat the villain my normal means in order to harm them in any way with the Dragonballs.
** This needs an edit. Krillin HAS tried to wish the villain of the month defeated, and was informed by the Dragon that it was not powerful enough to do so. How powerful are the dragons? Well, the first one we see in the series is One-Shotted by Evil Picollo back when Goku was still a kid. So, overall, very weak compared to ANY enemy by the time Goku's grown up, due to power inflation. Kuririn also failed to wish the Androids into humans for the same reason, the dragon was too weak.
*** Really, any questions about "Why don't they just wish for ______?" are answered by [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|actually watching any of the episodes where they summon the dragon]]. The characters ''try'' most of the "hurr durr it's so simple" wishes, only for Shenlong to say that it's beyond his power. Basically he can only do so much and is not as omnipotent as people assume of your typical genie.
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'': {{spoiler|Why doesn't Madoka or any of the other girls just wish for something like a universe where everyone is happy and magical girls are unnecessary? It would totally negate all the bad stuff that happends to the girls. Madoka herself tries something like this at the end of the series, but her version has a pointless sacrifice tacked on for some reason.}}
** {{spoiler|The reason why no one else did is fairly simple: Most girls come in ignorant of what's going on, and none of them would have the power to make the wish if they did (Madoka having phenomenal cosmic power thanks to Homura messing with the time-space continuum). Madoka's wish was as limited as it was because incubators are necessary for human civilization. The sacrifice... she probably didn't want to leave something like that to an impersonal cosmic force, and may not have been able to create one.}}
