Synopsis

As Popo tells him to go home, Goku declares that he wants to train at the temple. Seeing Goku's earnestness, God reveals himself. Goku is startled when he sees God. It turns out that he looks just like Piccolo Daimaō, of all things. God says that Daimaō's true identity is the portion of evil that he expelled from his own heart long ago.
