Last time on Dragon Ball,

Goku flew into a blind rage upon meeting the mystical Kami,

mistaking him for the villianous Piccolo.

I should've known that you were still alive,

you big monster!

It is you who fails to understand.

–This is not Piccolo. –Let go of me!

What do you mean?

There's a good reason you mistook me for Piccolo.

My name is Kami, and I am indeed the guardian of this planet,

but it wasn't always that way.

I remained at the Lookout and became the next Guardian.

Piccolo went down to Earth to incite disorder...

Goku's fears were put to rest.

Kami agreed to grant Goku's wish,

on the condition that he train at the Lookout for three years.

Unfortunately, my powers will not bring them back.

Uh... Uhh...

The one being that has that ability is Shenron, the Dragon.

I guess I'll just have to recreate him,

and let Earthlings use the Dragon Balls again.

You can really do that, Kami?

Shen Long is Revived ! !

Shen Long is Revived ! !

"Eternal Dragon Resurrected"

You gonna hog the bathroom all morning, Ahab?

Well, at least the sun's out.

What is that thing?!

Well, Goku, it's time for me to make good on my promise.

Mr. Popo, please fetch the Eternal Dragon.

Right away.

Listen, Goku, you must understand.

Once the dragon's alive, this is out of my hands.

Mm-hmm!

Here it is.

Wha...?

Ah. I didn't realize he was this badly damaged, Mr. Popo.

Is it possible to fix him?

Yes, it's easy.

Is that really the Eternal Dragon?

Not exactly. No, not yet.

You see, Mr. Goku, Kami must first breathe life into it.

It's my job. But when he was destroyed,

I had decided not to bring the dragon back.

When I first created the Dragon Balls,

I did so in order to encourage acts of bravery

and give the people of Earth a sense of hope.

But I soon learned that the hearts of man

are easily corrupted.

People began killing one another

in order to attain the Dragon Balls.

Their greed and lust for power turned my noble, pure endeavor

into one of evil.

However...

You've changed my mind, Goku.

I was beginning to believe that all people

were greedy and dishonorable, but,

you've shown me that there are people

that have kind and untainted minds and hearts.

Hello up there!

What are you doing?!

I was about to ask you the same thing.

You seem a little jumpy. You worried about Goku?

Don't be ridiculous.

I just thought I'd keep an eye out for him

in case he fell down from that Guardian Lookout, okay?

Right...

You can't fool me. I know you're a just big softy underneath.

Go away! You're makin' my head hurt!

Hmm?

Yajirobe, what is wrong with your stomach?

Uh, I... I think I over did it at lunch today.

Oh, you did, huh? For some reason I don't believe you.

–S-Stop it! –Come here!

What are you hiding under there, huh?

Ah-ha!

Senzus?

Didn't you learn your lesson the last time this happened?

Bite me, fur-ball! You're just being stingy.

You'll never get on the Nimbus behaving that way.

You don't know that! I might!

I'll ride it someday! You just wait!

Don't hold your breath, okay?!

I'll hold it if I want to!

Hmph!

Done.

Stand back, please.

All right.

You, too, Goku.

Wait! Where is he going?!

He is searching for the Dragon Balls.

Typically, they must remain in their stone form

for a full year before the dragon can be summoned

to grant a wish, but this time I've decided to

make an exception for you and your friends, Goku.

Really?

Do you think I could go and watch my friends

come back to life?

Don't tell me you've already forgotten your promise

to remain here at the Lookout and train?

Oh, that's right.

You'll stay for three years.

Then you'll be able to see your friends again

at the next tournament.

You know about the tournament? Are you a psychic or something?

There's something you should know, Goku.

Piccolo will be coming to the tournament to challenge you.

So you must be prepared.

Piccolo? I thought I killed him! Are you sure he's alive?!

Unfortunately, I am.

Moments before Piccolo died,

he created an egg that contained a child,

a virtually identical replica of Piccolo,

possessing his powers, his brain,

and his tendencies for evil.

The child is growing as we speak.

In three years time, he'll be strong enough to face you again.

I don't believe it!

As long as you are here, Piccolo won't be able to attack you.

That way you can train for the next three years

without any disturbances.

Then, you'll be strong enough to defeat him, perhaps.

I am prevented from destroying Piccolo myself

in light of a minor technicality.

The fate of the Earth rests in your hands

because you are the only person capable of defeating him.

Understand?

I... I understand.

Can you promise me that, Goku?

I won't let you down, Kami!

Let's get started! I'm totally focused now!

Haah!

Um, but first, I have to pee. Where's the bathroom?

Down the hall, first door on your left.

Gotta go, gotta go! I-I don't know if I can hold it!

Uh, Kami? You and Piccolo are one entity, right?

So if Goku kills him, he will, um, I guess, kill you as well?

That is correct.

I have brought all of this on myself.

I must now answer for it.

No entity can strangle himself with his own hand,

but I have finally found a way to rid the world

of the horrors I have caused.

I know this won't be easy, Mr. Popo,

but you must carry on without me

until another guardian can be found.

I'm feeling very... perplexed.

Rough workout? Well, don't work too hard.

We still have three years before the next tournament, you know.

Yes, I know.

But I'm afraid three years won't be enough time.

Huh?!

That's a Dragon Ball, right?

Um, yeah. Well, used to be.

Now, what does today feel like?

It'll work, guys. You'll see.

Huh? What did you say?

Oh, nothing.

Hey, what's wrong?

Did you see that?

What's going on? Why'd it glow?

Yamcha...

Do you think...?

Mm-hm!

Oh, please let this work.

Come on! Come on!

Please, Shenron!

Help us, Shenron!

Come on! Help us!

What's happening?!

He's really here!

I can't believe it! He actually came!

S-Say something.

We thought you'd been destroyed, Mr. Dragon.

Kami saw that Goku's purpose was noble.

And so, he chose to resurrect me.

If I faint, catch me.

Where is Goku?

Kami has chosen Goku for an important task,

and he is now training at the Lookout.

You will see him again at the next tournament.

Who is Goku training with?

Wait. You'll know soon enough.

Now, your wish.

We wish for you to bring back to life

all of our friends who were killed by Piccolo

and his monsters!

Krillin, Master Roshi, and Chiaotzu!

It will be so.

W-Wait a minute.

W-What about all the other innocent people

that Piccolo killed?

You should help them, too!

Oh, that's a lot of people!

Very well, all of the people who were killed by Piccolo

shall be brought back to life.

Your wish has been granted.

Now I must go.

Welcome back, guys!

Was I dead the whole time?

Pretty hard to believe, isn't it?

Yeah it is!

Hooray!

Right now, I bet there are some really happy people, somewhere.

King Chapa! King Chapa!

You're alive! It's a miracle!

Wow! All of my wounds are healed!

I can't believe Goku did this for us!

I could marry that guy!

I can sense he defeated Piccolo.

What I don't know is where he's at right now.

We're not positive,

but the Eternal Dragon said he was training at Kami's Lookout.

Uh, yeah.

At Kami's Lookout?!

What's the matter? Is that a bad thing?

No, not at all. It's amazing!

It's just so hard to believe it's even possible.

What? You know something? Spill the beans.

I don't like going off of hearsay,

but if this dragon is correct,

and Goku's training at the Lookout with Kami–

Well, I guess it would help if you knew Kami's other name.

Guardian of the Earth.

Well, I sort of remember something like that being said.

That-That's impossible, Master Roshi!

You're joking with us, right?

It can't really be the truth!

Mm-hm.

It's true. Goku is something very different from you and I,

and Kami's obviously recognized it.

To be honest, I'm chopped liver

in comparison to that monkey-tailed boy.

He's a kid and he's already surpassing us in strength.

Now that he's training with Kami,

we'll never catch up with him.

Well then, I'll just have to train twice as hard,

twice as fast, and twice as long

for the next three years, that's all.

Yeah, me too!

Me three!

Well said!

That's the spirit, guys! Chins up!

That reminds me, Bulma. I have a question.

What?

I was wondering if you...

If you would, uh, give me a welcome-back smoochie-kissy.

How about a handshake?

Is it okay if I move now?

Stay still, please.

Goku, you must now focus your mental energy.

I'm bored.

Don't talk. Eyes shut.

Thank you, Goku. I'll see you at the next tournament.

Goku's wish has been granted,

and everyone has begun their training

for the next tournament.

I have to pee.

Hold it!

But will three years be enough time to train Goku?

Be as brave as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,

The world is a mystery for you and me.

A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,

The beating of your heart will see you through.

When you think you can't go on, give it another try,

The power of your youth is strong, and as big as the sky.

Search all over the valley, the mountains and you'll see...believing in yourself sets you free!

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Liberate the “you” that you keep inside.

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Make your dreams come true; you'll see fantasy...magic can happen to you!

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!!"

Faster than Lightning ! !

"Quicker Than Lightning"

Be sure to watch!
