Korin's staff[4] is a staff that Korin is almost always seen with, even when he is sleeping.[5]
Overview[]
In Dragon Ball, it is revealed that Korin's staff has magical properties, as Korin is shown to use it to pulverize a column of sacred stone in Korin Tower without direct contact, a feat which not even Mercenary Tao's Dodon Ray could accomplish.[6] However, it may have only been Korin using his own powers and transferring it through the staff, although the staff is shown to glow yellow as he does it. Its exact purpose is unknown, as Korin is rarely shown to use it. He primarily uses it as a walking stick and is generally just holding it above his shoulder. Korin uses his staff to hold the Sacred Water while Goku trains with him.[5]
Uses[]
- Walking Stick
- Ki Control[6] (it is unknown if it is the staff or Korin himself controlling the ki)
- Refilling Ki[4]

- It is currently unknown as to how Korin obtained the staff, as he debuted with it.[8]
- Korin's staff looks exactly the same as the staff that Kami carries, although Korin's staff is much smaller. It is possible that they have the same manufacturer or origin but were made for people of different heights.
