Dragon Ball Manga Vol.39 Chapter 469 : A Faint Hope
Summary:
Goku finally wakes up to see that Vegeta has taken the last senzu. He realizes that he was knocked out so Vegeta could fight Majin Boo alone. He can sense Boo's ki but not Vegeta. He can't even feel Gohan's ki and wonders what happened. But they can sense Piccolo and Kuririn, which means they're not stone anymore, and they probably know what's going on. So Goku teleports away. Up in the God Temple, Piccolo says it will probably be about an hour before the boys wake up. Kuririn feels bad that Vegeta and Gohan are dead and who knows what happened to Goku. He then asks Dende if it would be okay to bring his family here because he knows it's probably wrong to only want to save his friends. Dende questions Piccolo, but Piccolo tells him to make up his own mind. Dende doesn't mind because Earth is still around because of them.
Kuririn prepares to leave, but he and Piccolo feel a familiar ki suddenly appear. Kuririn is thrilled that Goku is alive (even though he technically isn't). Goku wants to know what happened, but Dende says he'll heal him first. Some time has passed and Goku can't believe that Gohan, Kaiōshin and even Vegeta have been killed. Piccolo says that Kaiōshin was right to be afraid of Boo, and now the entire universe will be in danger. Kuririn thinks that the fact that Goku is alive is their happiness in the midst of their sadness. He says that Goku is the only one who can beat Boo and asks if he has any more time left in this world.
"To put it bluntly, it's impossible. i can't beat him The difference in actual strength between me and Vegeta was almost zero. Vegeta even gave up his life but Majin Boo was barely affected right? Sorry, but there's no way I can win." Goku says he could do something if at least Gohan or Vegeta were alive, though Piccolo says the number of people there doesn't make much of a difference against Boo. Goku he didn't think, he wanted to use Fusion. Dende also heard about it, it's a special technique of Metamorians. Goku says he learned it from Metamorian in the Celestial Realm. It's a unification technique that can only be used by two people of similar strength and body size. Two people fuse into one and can become an incredibly powerful human Metamorians are weak on their own, but with Fusion they become half-decent warriors.
Piccolo realizes that Goku could have fused with Gohan or Vegeta if they were alive. Goku says he learned the technique, but he never actually did it because there was no one like him. But it still took him a week to learn the technique. Piccolo thinks it's futile either way, but Kuririn thinks Goku can come back from the dead and fuse with Gohan or Vegeta. However, Piccolo bursts his bubble by saying that even if Goku fused with one of them, he wouldn't be able to return to this world, and besides, Vegeta isn't in the Celestial Realm. Mr. Popo then suggests that the two sleeping inside, Goten and Trunks, are almost equal in strength and size. Goku thinks this is great and says he will teach them Fusion until he has to leave and then Piccolo can train them. Piccolo agrees and Kuririn perks up with that faint glimmer of hope.
Piccolo thinks it will take a long time for the boys to master Fusion and Majin Boo will lose many lives in the meantime. Perhaps they will all be wiped out, or even the Earth itself will be destroyed. Goku says that as long as they are alive and have the dragon balls, they can fix things. Kuririn prepares to leave to fetch everyone when the sky suddenly turns black. It is Shenlong. Determining that it must be Bulma who summoned him, Kuririn wonders why she is collecting the Dragon Balls without knowing the circumstances yet. Goku realizes that he must intend to bring back life to the people Vegeta killed at Budōkai. Dende says that it will be a year before they can use the dragon balls again if they make three wishes, so Goku concentrates on their ki and teleports away.
Outside the Capsule Corporation, everyone else gathered as Shenlong told them to make their wish. Yamcha knows what to say, “Please bring the people who died today back to life! Ah! Except for the bad people!" Shenlong says it's granted and wants to know their second wish. Goku arrives just then and realizes it's too late while the others are shocked to see him. He telepathically contacts Dende and explains, that one wish has already been used up. Dende says that if they only use one wish, it will only take four months. Goku understands and tells Dende to tell Kuririn that he will bring everyone there since they are all gathered at his place now. Goku then He tells Shenlong that they've made enough wishes, so Shenlong says goodbye to them. Yamcha asks Goku what's going on. Meanwhile, Bobbidi is still flying on Boo's back, and he wonders why it suddenly got dark and then light again. And he's elsewhere Kibito alive again and can't believe it.
