Hi,
I recently ran into a problem with something. My opponent was using gohan mysic empowered 
and he had three cards left. Two of them were dragon balls. Is he allowed to use gohans 
power and dicard the top three without losing? Wouldnt he lose because he has only had 
dragon balls left? I lost because he reached his level five. Was this a legal move?

He would still win.

Whenever a Dragon Ball is DISCARDED, it is put at the bottom of the deck, and a discard is 
counted.

Whenever a Dragon Ball is REVEALED as LIFE CARDS of damage, then it is placed at the bottom 
of the deck and the life card is NOT counted.

Hence, your friend would discard a life card. Say it wasn't the Dragon Ball. Then he would 
discard another. It was a Dragon Ball, and placed at the bottom of his deck. Then he would 
discard again, and that would be a Dragon Ball. That is also placed at the bottom of his 
deck. He would be alive with two Dragon Balls, and would only need to be dealt one life
 card of damage for him to lose. Why? Because if a life card of damage would be dealt, a 
 Dragon Ball would be revealed, placed at the bottom. Then the other one would be revealed, 
 placed at the bottom. Then it would happen again, and once it occurs in a full circle, you 
 know that he has only Dragon Balls left. Once he has to take damage and only has Dragon Balls, 
 then he loses.

Hope that helps.
