Never revived?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

Did anyone SEE sumo die? I can't remember.

Cipher wrote:I forget. Did the wish to revive all those killed by Freeza's men specify "on Namek"? If not, it's very possible the city Nappa destroyed could have been restored, along with lots of off-screen aliens on other planets.

But the people killed by Androids 19 and 20 on Amembo Island are unequivocally never revived. Which kind of sucks because, you know, they could have stopped it from happening. (Of course without the power-ups gained during the course of that arc, either Cell or Buu would have destroyed the world, and ... logic and Dragon Ball and etc.)

Also, they probably didn't revive the sumo wrestler in Movie 9 because it's not their damn fault. They sometimes revive people killed en masse by a particular villain, or when it's their fault, but um, people get killed. They stopped the threat. The Red Ribbon Army no doubt killed plenty of people other than Bora, but Goku's not morally obligated to revive them just because he tangled with the Red Ribbons.
If Nappa did count as one of Freeza's men and the people in the city were revived (or any other time a wish like that is used), would the people be revived in the exact spot that they died? Wouldn't that cause some of them to just fall to their death again because they were in a tall building at the time? Kind of a comedic tragedy there.

He was choked to death in a desert setting..And then everyone watching screamed, "AHH!".

Not really, the "leftovers" would fall with the gravity to the ground.

I thought he was wish back since I remember him having a cameo in the Buu saga (Or was that just a filler)?

That was a filler, and likely a recycled character design rather than a cameo.

Agreed, Commander Red and Assistant Black look-alikes were also present in a Great Saiyaman filler episode and there was also a Nappa look-alike in another Great Saiyaman filler.

If any super powered villain blows up your city you better hope one of the Z senshi specifically yamcha or chautzu died in the city too otherwise pray you get revived lol
