What well-worded wish could resurrected everyone (including #16) that Cell/#20/#19 killed, and restore islands?

Careful with the wordings. #19 and #20's massacre at South City was left as is

And of course all those people that were killed by Cell by blowing up those islands (in search for #18) would be resurrected in the middle of the ocean and a good number will die from drowning.

So yeah, 1 wish. To do all that. How would you word it? You can't use 2 because the 2nd wish goes for 17 and 18's bombs

But then #16 arguable wouldn't be restored... and neither would those destroyed islands that the resurrected people would just drown in because the islands aren't there. Plus South City would still be on fire and destroyed

The wish would have to be a paragraph long in length

What about:

"Undo all the destruction that Future Cell, and present Dr. Gero, and his present creations, have caused since the beginning of May 12th Age 767 up to this moment"


But the "destruction" part needs to be more specific still because it implies it will restore destruction of life and of inanimate objects... but then #16 isn't inanimate. So what now? XD

Huh, that would actually work, and it doesn't even affect anything else

"Shen Long, please restore the negative actions caused by Gero & his creations."

He's a swell guy so I doubt you need to be more specific than that. As requested, it's a simple, single wish that fits into Dragon World's logic.

Another good wish, honestly I thought you would have to go and write a paragraph. But nope I was proved wrong, not once, but two times. Eh keep on proving me wrong guys :D

How about instead of using the word "people" you say "entities", #16 is not a person but he is an entity in his own right even if he is a robot.

But if you worded it that way, an island or a building isn't an entity. Those won't get restored

Negative seems like an objective term. Negative according to whom? Besides, worded that way, it might end up with Android #8 disappearing from existence and then Muscle Tower being rebuilt (although it would just end up being an empty tower). Also, saying to "restore" the negative actions might actually mean the Cell Jr's being brought back. Cell hatching to Cell Jr's was a negative action, and that action is going to get restored. XD

I see, ok then just say "Great Dragon I wish for everyone and everything destroyed by Dr. Gero and his creations to be restored except foe Gero himself".

That should cover all your bases.

Got another one:

"Undo everything that present Dr. Gero, and his creations, and Future Cell has done since the beginning of May 12th Age 767 up to this moment"

Although I'm not sure if "caused" would be a better word instead of "done"

This will inevitably bring back Dr. Gero too though, since he was killed by his creations. This may also restore but deactivate Android 16. It was 17 and 18 that activated him. Any other better wordings?

We have precedence with Polunga (Namek arc) & Shen Long (Boo arc) that their judgment of "bad guys" is sound. The same would extend to determining detrimental acts from Gero & his creations. You're either overthinking the subject or accounting different wishing entities from sources outside of Dragon Ball. When it comes to Dragon World, there's no need to be overly specific with wishes as the dragons know exactly what you meant & will sometimes take an extra step for your benefit. There's nothing wrong with my wish as it effectively subscribes to Dragon World's logic. It's not going to destroy No. 8, revive Cell Juniors, or anything like that. The wisher is favorably considered in-universe.
