"Son Goku Heads Back" is the four hundred and seventy-seventh chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1994 #31 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Goku says Goten and Trunks will have to practice making their ki identical later, and Piccolo asks Goku if he is all right. Goku insists he is okay, while Piccolo contemplates how much energy Super Saiyan 3 uses in the living world. Goku says for now, they will work on mastering Fusion. Once they have their ki identical, they have to both do the Fusion pose exactly the same. He will teach them the pose now, so pay close attention. First, stand a distance away from each other. Then, throw your arms to the side like this, keeping them straight. "Fu..." Next, throw your arms to the opposite side and approach each other by making three steps like this, knees bent outward. "sion..." Then, throw your arms out to the other side again, making hands into fists, and kicking your outer leg up with the knee bent. "Ha!!!" Throw your hands over your head, and make sure your fingers are pointing like this. Inner leg must be bent, and outer leg must be straight.

Everyone is speechless, until Trunks says he thinks that is really lame. Goku says they will both have to do it with "left and right symmetry", but the boys do not know what that means. So, Goku wants Piccolo to try it with him, but Piccolo is quite reluctant... Goku says they will have to move in reverse, like a mirror's reflection. So, Goku and Piccolo mirror each other's movements, moving toward each other and ending up with their fingers touching. Now it is the boys' turn. Piccolo says that even if Vegeta were alive, he would never have done this, and Goku is not sure why...

Boo is flying along, and he yawns, saying he is getting sleepy. So, he lands in a village and decides to make a house so he can nap. But, it is too noisy (people are screaming at his presence), so he will make it quiet. Boo gathers all of the living things, lifting them into the air and turning them all into clay. Next, he "cleans" up, by destroying the surrounding landscape. Boo takes his big mound of clay, and molds it into a very weird house, shaped like a beehive. He climbs inside through a hole in the side and shows everyone around. This is where he eats his food (he is sitting at a table). This is his bathtub (he is taking a bath). This is the toilet (he is sitting on it). This is where he brushes his teeth (he is at the sink brushing). And this is the bed (he is sleeping). Boo wakes up and says, "Mmmmm, I guess I've slept for about five seconds. Now then, I'll go kill, kill!"

Goku and Piccolo are training the boys, nitpicking at their movements, and Kuririn, one of the spectators, wonders about the dance training. The Fortuneteller Crone comes in, saying it is time to go back now. Goku tells Piccolo it is all up to him now, but the boys should have Fusion mastered by tomorrow. Everyone gathers around to say their goodbyes, and Goku tells Chi-Chi not to feel bad, she still has Goten. Chi-Chi thinks he might be killed by Majin Boo, but Goku insists he will not if he masters this technique. Goku says he will try to give his regards Gohan in the afterlife, but Videl still insists she thinks Gohan is alive, somehow. Kuririn doubts it, since they do not feel his ki, but Goku thinks it would be great if he was still alive. The Crone says they really must get going, but Goten seems to want something. Chi-Chi realizes he wants a hug from his daddy, but Goten just puts his head down. Goku then picks him up and hugs him, and tells Goten to look out for his mother. Flying off with the Crone, Goku yells back at everyone. "Later, guys!! Let's meet up again when you're dead!!" Goku poofs away, and Kuririn smiles, thinking of what a jerk he is.

 ==Summary==
-Uranai Baba drops Goku off in the afterlife, and Goku runs into Enma-''daiō''’s office to ask him a question. But first Enma-''daiō'' asks Goku what’s happening on Earth, as there are quite a few dead people to deal with. Goku says everyone on Earth will probably be coming here, but he wants to know if someone named Son Gohan came here shortly before the large amounts of Earthlings started coming in. That guy’s his son. Enma-''daiō'' says he hasn’t, and he would’ve known right away if he saw Goku’s son. Goku is glad Gohan’s not dead. Enma-''daiō'' says someone even more amazing did come here, though. The king of the Evil Demon Realm, Dabra. Since he probably would’ve liked Hell, Enma-''daiō'' sent him to Heaven. Goku thanks him, and flies off.
+[[Goku]] says [[Goten]] and [[Trunks]] will have to practice making their ''[[Ki|ki]]'' identical later, and [[Piccolo]] asks Goku if he is all right. Goku insists he is okay, while Piccolo contemplates how much energy [[Super Saiyan 3]] uses in the living world. Goku says for now, they will work on mastering [[Fusion]]. Once they have their ''ki'' identical, they have to both do the Fusion pose exactly the same. He will teach them the pose now, so pay close attention. First, stand a distance away from each other. Then, throw your arms to the side like this, keeping them straight. "Fu..." Next, throw your arms to the opposite side and approach each other by making three steps like this, knees bent outward. "sion..." Then, throw your arms out to the other side again, making hands into fists, and kicking your outer leg up with the knee bent. "Ha!!!" Throw your hands over your head, and make sure your fingers are pointing like this. Inner leg must be bent, and outer leg must be straight.
-Goku realizes that Videl girl was right, but wonders why they never felt Gohan’s ''ki''. Suddenly, he does feel Gohan’s ''ki'', but it’s not here or in the Kaiō Realm. Goku teleports toward it and arrives in the Kaiōshin Realm to find Gohan practicing with the Z Sword. Everyone is shocked to see him. Goku wonders about Gohan’s clothes, and then notices Kaiōshin and that other guy who died. Kibito freaks out that there’s yet another mortal on this holy ground. Gohan asks why he’s here, and so Goku explains. Some time passes, and Gohan contemplates everything Majin Buu has done to the Earth. Goku wants to hold the sword for a bit, and says it really is very heavy, swinging it around a bit. Goku asks Kaiōshin if he can stay here until Gohan goes to fight Buu, and also asks if he can have some food. Kaiōshin asks Gohan if he also wants to rest, and so they all head off. Gohan wants to see Super Saiyan 3 after they eat.
+Everyone is speechless, until Trunks says he thinks that is really lame. Goku says they will both have to do it with "left and right symmetry", but the boys do not know what that means. So, Goku wants Piccolo to try it with him, but Piccolo is quite reluctant... Goku says they will have to move in reverse, like a mirror's reflection. So, Goku and Piccolo mirror each other's movements, moving toward each other and ending up with their fingers touching. Now it is the boys' turn. Piccolo says that even if [[Vegeta]] were alive, he would never have done this, and Goku is not sure why...
-Back on Earth, a whole day has gone by... Piccolo wakes up the boys. He tells them to wash up and get some food so they can resume training. They must completely master Fusion in one day. On the Earth’s surface, Majin Buu has already destroyed two-thirds of the people and cities. Buu flies along, spotting a boy walking down a road, and thinks he won’t let anyone get away. Buu lands in front of him, but the boy just happily says hello and asks who it is. Buu thinks he should recognize him. The boy says his eyes can’t see, and wonders if Buu is supposed to be someone famous. Buu thinks he’s dumb and just has his eyes closed. The boy says even opening them he can’t see, he’s been blind since birth.
+[[Boo]] is flying along, and he yawns, saying he is getting sleepy. So, he lands in a village and decides to make a house so he can nap. But, it is too noisy (people are screaming at his presence), so he will make it quiet. Boo gathers all of the living things, lifting them into the air and turning them all into clay. Next, he "cleans" up, by destroying the surrounding landscape. Boo takes his big mound of clay, and molds it into a very weird house, shaped like a beehive. He climbs inside through a hole in the side and shows everyone around. This is where he eats his food (he is sitting at a table). This is his bathtub (he is taking a bath). This is the toilet (he is sitting on it). This is where he brushes his teeth (he is at the sink brushing). And this is the bed (he is sleeping). Boo wakes up and says, "Mmmmm, I guess I've slept for about five seconds. Now then, I'll go kill, kill!"
-Buu realizes he isn’t scared because he can’t see him, and so he magically restores the boy’s sight. The boy opens his eyes, and now he can see! He looks at Buu, but he’s still not scared, just grateful. Buu is confused, and sits down with the boy for a bit. The boy figures Buu must be a foreigner for having that thing on his head. Buu asks the boy if he thinks he’s cool, and the boy supposes he is fairly cool, which makes Buu happy. The boy decides to give him some money as thanks. He was supposed to use this money to buy milk, but all the stores are closed. Buu tries to eat the money, but it’s yucky, so he flies off. The boy is surprised that foreigners can fly. Buu finds a guy loading his car, and turns him into milk and brings it back to the boy. He tells him milk is yummier than money and flies off. Buu then comes across another town, and blows it up, creating a huge smoke cloud as he looks on in enjoyment.
+Goku and Piccolo are training the boys, nitpicking at their movements, and [[Kuririn]], one of the spectators, wonders about the dance training. The [[Fortuneteller Crone]] comes in, saying it is time to go back now. Goku tells Piccolo it is all up to him now, but the boys should have Fusion mastered by tomorrow. Everyone gathers around to say their goodbyes, and Goku tells [[Chi-Chi]] not to feel bad, she still has [[Goten]]. Chi-Chi thinks he might be killed by Majin Boo, but Goku insists he will not if he masters this technique. Goku says he will try to give his regards [[Gohan]] in the [[Afterlife|afterlife]], but [[Videl]] still insists she thinks Gohan is alive, somehow. Kuririn doubts it, since they do not feel his ''ki'', but Goku thinks it would be great if he was still alive. The Crone says they really must get going, but Goten seems to want something. Chi-Chi realizes he wants a hug from his daddy, but Goten just puts his head down. Goku then picks him up and hugs him, and tells Goten to look out for his mother. Flying off with the Crone, Goku yells back at everyone. "Later, guys!! Let's meet up again when you're dead!!" Goku poofs away, and Kuririn smiles, thinking of what a jerk he is.
-Meanwhile, Gohan is easily swinging the Z Sword around, and Goku compliments how well he’s able to wield it after only one day. Goku bets the sword can cut really well, and wants to test it. He picks up a big boulder, and prepares to throw it at Gohan.
