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.

They brought the Earth back and everything on it, so I don't see why not. There is a question of whether he would be brought back to life by a wish to restore people who died, I suppose, since you could wonder whether #16 was ever "alive" and if a machine can "die". I think that depends entirely on how Shenlong thinks about it.

The problem could be that he's "alive" enough that a wish to restore non-living matter (such as the Earth) couldn't bring him back, but not present in heaven or hell so a wish to restore "souls" couldn't bring him back either. I don't think Shenlong can actually create life. He can just bring back souls from the afterlife, and if #16 didn't go to the afterlife...
