Ruyi Jingu Bang (Chinese: 如意金箍棒; Pinyin: Rúyì Jīngū Bàng, ""As-you-wish Gold-Banded Cudgel":[https://journeytothewestresearch.com/2014/12/29/deciphering-the-inscription-on-monkeys-staff/]"), or simply as 如意棒 (Ruyi Bang), is the poetic name of a magical [[staff]] of legend that can change its size and length as its user desires, made from "bin steel":[https://journeytothewestresearch.com/2019/04/24/bin-iron-the-magic-metal-of-journey-to-the-west/]. Originally appearing in [[Journey to the West]], its appearance can vary across the various properties it has appeared in. 

It is also well known due to its appearance in the [[Dragon Ball]] franchise, where it was called the 如意棒 (にょいぼう, [i]Nyoi Bou/Nyoibo[/i]) or "Power Pole" in the English dub, where it shares the same power of length-changing, but whose true purpose is to use said ability to travel from [[Karin Tower]] to [[Kami's Lookout]]. The Nyoibo is consistently depicted as a red staff in Dragon Ball.
