God, who appeared before Goku, looked exactly the same as Piccolo Daimao!

You bastard! Still alive, huh?!

Calm down. He is not Piccolo.

They resemble one another, but that is not him.

It isn't?

Piccolo and I were once one.

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

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

God promised to listen to Goku's request,

on the condition that Goku remain in the Upper World and continue his training.

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!

"Shen Long, Revived!!"

No way!

A person all the way out here?!

What's the matter?

I will now revive Shen Long for you.

Popo. Bring Shen Long here.

Yes!

Do you understand, Son Goku?

This is all you can request of me, nothing more.

I do!

Here it is.

Huh?

He has been broken into quite a lot of pieces.

Will you be able to fix him, Popo?

Yes. Easily.

This is Shen Long?

Popo makes things for God.

God breathes life into things Popo makes.

To tell the truth, I considered leaving Shen Long broken.

I created the Dragon Balls for the earthbound humans' courage and hope,

but none used them for the sake of good.

They would steal the balls and shed one another's blood for no other reason

than to satisfy their own greed.

However...

...you were different.

I had a great deal of difficulty deciding what to do,

but if people such as yourself exist, no matter how few their number may be,

I have no qualms with reviving the Dragon Balls once more.

Boo!

What the hell are you doin'?!

What have you been looking at?

Are you that worried about Goku?

No, not really...

I just got the feeling he might fall down from the Upper World at any moment...

Maybe you think of him as a friend and don't even realize it?

Shut yer trap! It ain't nothin' like that!

Yajirobe. What's with your stomach?

Uh, errr... I drank a whole lot of water earlier, you see...

Is that so?

Knock it off! Hey!

You wouldn't be hiding anything tasty now, would you?!

Senzu.

Weren't you the one who said you hated the things?

So what?! You've practically got a whole boatload of 'em anyway!

You're never going to be able to ride a Kinto'un...

Shut up! You sure are cheeky for a stupid cat!

I'm a Cat-Man! A Cat-Man!

You're a cat and you know it!

You're right.

All fixed!

Stand away from it.

Yes.

You stand back too.

Okay.

He's going somewhere!

He is returning to the Dragon Balls.

Normally, they transform into stone balls for one full year,

but this time I will make an exception and allow a wish to be granted right away.

Really?

Can I go see everyone come back to life?

You made a promise that you would remain here and train.

Oh, yeah...

You will endure for three years,

after which you can see your friends again at the next Tenkaichi Budokai.

The Tenkaichi Budokai?! You know about that too?!

There is no doubt at all– Piccolo will be at the next Tenkaichi Budokai.

To kill you.

Piccolo?!

What are you talking about?! I killed him...!

Unfortunate as it may be, he still lives.

Immediately prior to his explosion, he left behind a double of himself.

That double has been endowed with even greater strength than before,

so that he may eliminate you and rule the world once more.

No way...

As long as you are here, he will be unable to come after you.

You will train for three years in secrecy and destroy Piccolo once and for all next time.

There is a reason why neither Mr. Popo nor I can fight him.

The only one who can defeat him and bring about true peace is you.

Do you understand?

I understand!

Defeat him without fail!

I'll do it! Just you wait and see!

In that case, I better start training right away!

But first I need to take a leak– do you guys have a bathroom?

Go inside and turn left.

God. You and Piccolo are one.

If he defeats Piccolo, you too will die...

That is not good at all.

No, he is the seed that I originally sowed.

I've long wanted to take responsibility for it.

But a God cannot simply commit suicide...

I have been waiting for someone such as him to appear.

I am certain that this young lad known as Son Goku will accomplish this.

Mr. Popo is full of conflicting emotions.

You're workin' pretty hard out there.

Don't overdo it!

There's still three years until the tournament.

I know.

Only three years.

That a Dragon Ball?

Yeah. Used to be, anyway.

Which should I choose...?

You'll come back to life, I'm sure of it!

Did you say something?

No, not really.

What is it?

The Dragon Ball...!

Yamcha! What the hell's goin' on?

Yamcha...

Could it be?

Shen Long, please come out...

Come out, Shen Long!

Please.

Please, Shen Long!

We're counting on you, Shen Long!

What's goin' on?!

He came out! Shen Long really came out!

It can't be...!

Shen Long! You didn't die!

Son-kun made a request to God.

And thus I was given life anew.

Goku... asked God...?!

What do you mean?!

Son-kun is training in the Upper World in preparation

for the next Tenkaichi Budokai.

You can ask him the details when you see him at the tournament.

Training in the Upper World?!

I shall now grant you one wish.

State your wish!

We want you to bring back our friends that Piccolo killed!

Kuririn and the Turtle Hermit and Chiaotzu, too!

A simple task.

No, wait!

Bring back all the innocent people that Piccolo killed, too!

Can you do that many?

Very well.

I will bring back to life all who have been killed by Piccolo Daimao.

–Chiaotzu! –Ten-san!

Your wish has been granted.

Fare thee well!

Welcome back!

I was dead until just now?

It's so great having you back with us!

That's for sure!

It's true!

I bet people everywhere are in a big clamor right about now!

Daddy!

Honey!

–Chapa-o! –Chapa-o!

A miracle! It's a miracle!

My wounds are healed!

Oh, yeah? So Goku did it?!

He's totally awesome!

That he would defeat Piccolo...!

So where is Goku now?

We're not really sure, but according to Shen Long,

he's in the Upper World, training or something...

The Upper World, you say?!

Do you know what he's talking about?

It can't be! Unbelievable!

But this is Goku we're talking about...

For him, it's entirely possible...

What do you mean? Explain it to us.

I don't know the details myself, but if he truly is training in the Upper World,

the one teaching him...

...is God.

God?!

Now that you mention it,

he did say something about God doing something.

Goku's training under God?!

You're kidding, right? That can't be for real!

Goku... what an incredible boy...

I don't even begin to compare to him at his current strength!

Just how strong is he going to get?

I get the feeling the gap between his strength and ours is steadily growing...

God, huh? Interesting.

I will undergo training even more intense than God's

and win again at the next tournament!

Me too! Count me in!

Same here!

That's the spirit!

Try your best, you guys!

By the way, Bulma-san...

What?

In celebration of coming back to life, do you think...

It's been so long–do you think you could let me have a little feel?

Sorry!

Hey, do I just sit here really quiet like this?

No moving.

You must first temper your spirit.

But, you know...

No opening your eyes.

Thanks, Goku!

I can't wait until the next Tenkaichi Budokai!

Kuririn and the others have just started their training

in anticipation of what is to come in three years.

And...

Bathroom break?

No.

...exactly what sort of training is Goku about to undergo?!

Come on, fantasy,

Oide fantajii

love, and mystery

sukisa misuterii

Don't you hide your youth

Kimi no wakasa kakusanai de

Wanting to have a mystery,

Fushigi shitakute

and wanting to have an adventure

Bouken shitakute

Everyone's raring to go

Dare mo min'na uzu-uzu shite 'ru

If you act like an adult and give up

Otona no furi shite akiramecha

The miraculous riddle will never be solved

Kiseki no nazo nado tokenai yo

Try to live more wildly and bravely

Motto wairudo ni

motto takumashiku ikite goran

I’ll give you romance! I’ll give you romance!

Romantikku ageru yo

Romantikku ageru yo

If you show me true courage

Honto no yuki misete kuretara

Romantikku ageru yo

Romantikku ageru yo

I’ll give you a bright shining dream for your beating heart!

Tokimeku mune ni

kira-kira hikatta yume o ageru yo

Heya! I'm Goku!

I did it, I really did it!

Now Kuririn, the Turtle Hermit and everybody else can be brought back.

But to hear Piccolo is still alive...

You make too many useless movements.

Shut up and concentrate on your training.

Alright! I'll keep this up for sure!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"Faster than Lightning!!"

Next Time

"Faster than Lightning!!"

Be sure to watch!
