So sa ima koso adobenchaa!

You will fight Mr. Popo!

If you can beat Mr. Popo, then you can see God!

You have incredible power, but you are not making use of it at all.

That is no good. There is no point in taking the test.

Go home!

In order to bring Kuririn and the others who were slain by Piccolo back to life,

Goku made his way to the temple to have Shen Long revived.

But waiting for him there

was the extraordinarily powerful guardian of the temple– Mr. Popo!

"Enter God!!"

Assisting God keeps Mr. Popo incredibly busy. Leave at once.

Wait!

I can't give up my quest to see God, no matter what!

So give me another chance...!

Did you hear me?!

Dammit!

The birds are still gone?

I believe I said it was pointless.

You are weak. Both your mind and skill are inferior.

You are not worthy of meeting God. Leave.

I can't believe it!

This guy's super strong!

You assumed you were the strongest person in the world

when you defeated Piccolo Daimao.

But you forgot that no matter how high you are,

there is always a higher level above you.

You cannot beat Mr. Popo with strength alone.

I see... How dishonorable of me...

If you understand me, then leave now.

I can't! I want to bring everyone back to life right away!

Which means I'm not leaving till I get to see God!

You will only injure yourself by fighting Mr. Popo.

Hey, is it okay if I use this place?

What do you intend to do?

I'm gonna do some intensive training here!

Intensive training?

I believe it will be pointless.

But do as you wish.

Thank you!

His personality is not bad at all!

He's incredible! I've never met anyone as strong as him before!

Where do you suppose Son-kun could have gone?

He said something about meeting God, but...

He also said he might be able to bring Roshi-sama, Kuririn,

and the others back to life...

If it really were possible,

God probably would be the only one who could do it...

But do you suppose God is real?

If he is, I'd sure like to meet him for myself...

I dunno.

There was a Daimao, so it wouldn't be strange for there to be a God, too.

That's right! I believe Son-kun!

There's no doubt in my mind that if anyone can do it, Son-kun can!

Yeah.

God, eh? Sure. And what does he look like, hmm?

If yer tryin' to say somethin' bad, then out with it already!

Goku won't meet him.

Son Goku. I'm going to train even more seriously now!

I can't stand the idea of you being so much stronger than me!

I'll win the Tenkaichi Budokai again next time!

I won't let you!

Come back without fail! Son Goku!

This place is weird...

I'm already out of breath...

We are exceptionally high up in the sky.

The air is thin. It is harsh on you humans.

That is why it is hopeless for people like you who make many unnecessary movements.

Even on the ground, this is a very important point.

Oh, yeah!

Stand quietly like the sky...

...and move faster than lightning.

Quietly like the sky...

Move faster than lightning!

It's not as easy as I thought!

It is done like this.

Emptying the mind.

Amazing! It really is quiet!

I almost can't sense it!

Okay! I'll try it, too!

Like this?

That is simply a state of thinking nothing.

It is not the same as emptying your mind.

This is hard!

Moving faster than lightning.

Awesome!

How did you get behind me?! I couldn't see a thing!

You're really incredible!

You are currently touching your face with your right hand.

How could you tell that?! Do you have eyes in the back of your head?!

–No. –No?! Then how...?

You try to see everything with your eyes alone.

That is why you could not see Popo's movements just now.

Energy disturbances, slight movements in the air, and intuition.

With these, you can sense without relying on vision.

This is an important point.

Sensing without relying on vision?

Whoa! You're so awesome, Mr. Popo!

There's no way I can beat you!

Popo was taught much by God!

He is remarkable!

So God's even better than you, Popo?!

But of course! God is much, much better!

Do you feel out of your league?

I do! But boy, am I happy!

I found out that there are guys as awesome as you!

I'm so excited now!

Yahoo! Yay!

You are a cheerful fellow.

But if you're so strong, why didn't you beat up Piccolo for us?

God has his own affairs to deal with.

I've decided I'm not going to leave, no matter what!

Okay! I'm gonna try my hardest!

This is Patrol Center.

An intruder has been detected at point XOT inside the animal reserve!

Investigate immediately!

It doesn't look like it was attacked with a gun...

What on earth could have...?

It would seem it was the target of a single, enormously powerful attack...

Hey!

What is it?!

Footprints.

A poacher!

Alright!

Stop!

Oh, it's just a kid.

Hey, wait!

I haven't seen you before; where are you from?

What's your name?

Where are your parents?

Listen, it's really dangerous to play all alone in a forest like this.

In fact, just a little while ago, there was a...

Hey! What are you doing?! That's dangerous!

Stay back!

Stay away from me!

Get any closer and I'll shoot!

He's a monster!

My father Piccolo left me an enormous power.

Quiet like the sky...

And then...!

Faster than lightning!

You are not just cheerful! You have determination as well!

I have high regard for you.

Eh? So you'll finally teach me, Popo?!

No teaching. You will learn on your own.

Only hints.

Aw, man! Cheapskate!

You have the bell, yes?

Bell?

Oh, the thingy Karin-sama gave me?

Here it is.

Now what?

You will fight with Popo again.

A training bout, eh?

Okay!

Here I come!

I guess I'm still no match for you...

Is that all?

What do you mean?

Have you realized anything else?

Not really...

Oh, yeah!

You did all those moves, but the bell didn't make a single sound!

But how...?

Think about it on your own.

Okay, then...

Huh?

That's weird... It rings if I move even the tiniest bit.

I got it! It's some sort of magic trick!

You should go home after all.

I was just kidding!

Come on, it was a joke!

Mr. Popo is God's guard. He does not like jokes.

But I just remembered something.

It was back when I trained together with Kuririn.

Now you try.

But the old-timer could do it like it was nothing...

Do you suppose that water and this bell were for the same reason?

When the water spilt, it was because...

Oh yeah, you said it was because I make unnecessary movements, didn't you, Popo?

So if I don't make unnecessary movements, this bell won't jingle!

There is some hope for you yet.

Really?

Merely understanding it is not enough.

Yeah, I guess not, huh?

But I might be able to beat you if I can get good enough to make this bell not ring!

You still need much training before that is a possibility.

I do not know how many years it will take.

I do not know if you will be able to win even after many years.

What will you do?

Will you work hard until you can beat Mr. Popo?

You bet I will!

I have to! So I want to!

I've taken a liking to you.

Who's there?!

Are you God?!

–It is. –Eh?! For real?!

I will see you now.

Really?!

Yay! Woohoo!

You are certainly lucky!

Follow me!

Thanks, God!

How do you suppose Goku's doin'?

This is Goku we're talking about. I'm sure he's doing just fine.

What did you mean earlier when you said Goku's seen God's face before?

Were you being serious?

Of course. He knows that face all too well.

Goku's going to be petrified with fright when he gets a look at God...

We wait here.

Okay!

My heart's racing all of a sudden!

I wonder when he'll come out?

I see him!

Piccolo!

You bastard! Still alive, huh?!

No, stop!

Take this!

Damn it!

Let go!

I have to kill Piccolo! Let me go!

Calm down. He is not Piccolo.

They resemble one another, but that is not him.

Did Karin not explain anything to you?

Karin-sama?

That mischievous scoundrel.

Long ago, Piccolo and I were one.

We were a single martial artist.

One day, I learned of the existence of God and made my way here.

Just as you have.

Unfortunately, even Gods die.

I longed to be God's successor.

However, no matter how hard I tried, God would not approve of me.

Yet I believed there was none better suited to be his successor than I.

It was only a speck, but hidden within the recesses of my heart there lurked an evil.

God was well aware of this fact.

Upon completing even more agonizing training,

I was finally able to drive the evil out.

That speck of evil was Piccolo Daimao.

I became the new God, while he made the people on the earth suffer.

I regret that even to this day.

You defeated that Piccolo for me.

As a token of my appreciation, I will listen to your request.

Alright!

However, only on the condition that you remain here for a while to train even more.

Of course! I'd be more than happy to train here!

In fact, I practically insist on it!

Very well.

I know what your request is.

Yet, not even God can bring people back to life.

However, Shen Long is my own creation.

I can bring Shen Long back to life.

You can take your request to him afterward.

Oh, wow! Thanks!

However, this is all you can request of me.

Your people's world must be shaped by your people's own accord.

Right! I understand!

Well then, now I shall bring Shen Long back to life!

The Dragon Balls will be once more!

Yay! Woohoo!

The revival of Shen Long!

Will the Turtle Hermit, Kuririn, and the others really come back to life?!

Come on, fantasy,

But will it really work?

Believe in God.

Those who believe will be saved.

And you, you should keep quiet and continue your training.
