Dragon Ball Chapter 469 »

"The Nightmare Returns" is the four hundred and sixty-eighth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1994 #21/22 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

In the capsule plane, Bulma is wondering why Vegeta killed all those people at the Tenka'ichi Budōkai. Yamcha tells her not to think like that, for now they will just use the Dragon Balls to revive all of the dead spectators. The Turtle Hermit thinks Vegeta seemed odd, with lots of evil flowing within him. The plane suddenly hits a lot of turbulence. The Turtle Hermit says there was a great explosion far away, and Bulma feels like it could be related to Vegeta. Back at the battlefield, an intact ash figure of Vegeta is all that remains floating above a very large crater. The ash remains of Vegeta then fall to the earth and break apart. Meanwhile, Piccolo tells Kuririn to take Goten and Trunks home while he checks on things. He tells him they will inform their families later, as he does not know about Goku, but Vegeta said Gohan was killed by Majin Boo. Kuririn cannot believe even Gohan is gone.

Piccolo flies over and lands in the crater, walking around for a bit. He realizes what Vegeta's plan was, to keep Boo from regenerating. Then Piccolo notices Bobbidi's upper body, still just barely alive. It looks like Bobbidi had a barrier up during the explosion, so Piccolo decides to finish him off for good. But then, tiny pieces of Boo begin moving, each turning into a miniature Boo, and they all fly together to form one big mass. Realizing what is going on, Piccolo takes this opportunity to fly away. Majin Boo is now whole again, and he starts giggling, until Bobbidi calls him over. Bobbidi tells him to heal him, but Boo is hesitant. Bobbidi asks if he wants to be sealed up, and so Boo heals him. Bobbidi is glad, until he gets angry at the ones who did this to him. The green guy and the two little runts. Instead of destroying this planet, he wants to make those three suffer.

Kuririn cannot believe Majin Boo is not dead, and that Vegeta died for nothing. Piccolo says it is dangerous on the Earth, and takes the boys from Kuririn so he can bring them to God's Temple. These two are their only star of hope, albeit a faint hope. Boo is now flying through the air, and Bobbidi is riding on his back, saying they will turn this planet into a living hell. Bobbidi's plan is kill lots of people until those three show themselves. Elsewhere, Kaiōshin is alive, weakly walking around, and begging Gohan to still be alive...

 ==Summary==
-Goku finally wakes up, and sees that Vegeta took the last senzu. He realizes he was knocked out so Vegeta could fight Majin Buu alone. He feels Buu’s ''ki'', but not Vegeta’s. He doesn’t feel Gohan’s ''ki'', either, and wonders what happened. But he does feel Piccolo and Kuririn, meaning they’re no longer stone, and they probably know what’s going on. So, Goku teleports away. Up at God’s Temple, Piccolo says it will probably be about an hour before the boys wake up. Kuririn feels bad that Vegeta and Gohan are dead, and who knows what happened to Goku. Then he asks Dende if it would be okay to bring his family up here, knowing it’s probably wrong to want to save just his friends. Dende asks Piccolo, but Piccolo says to decide for himself. Dende doesn’t mind, since the Earth is still around because of them.
+In the [[Capsule No. 576 Airplane|capsule plane]], [[Bulma]] is wondering why [[Vegeta]] killed all those people at the [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai]]. [[Yamcha]] tells her not to think like that, for now they will just use the [[Dragon Balls]] to revive all of the dead spectators. The [[Turtle Hermit]] thinks Vegeta seemed odd, with lots of evil flowing within him. The plane suddenly hits a lot of turbulence. The Turtle Hermit says there was a great explosion far away, and Bulma feels like it could be related to Vegeta. Back at the battlefield, an intact ash figure of Vegeta is all that remains floating above a very large crater. The ash remains of Vegeta then fall to the earth and break apart. Meanwhile, [[Piccolo]] tells [[Kuririn]] to take [[Goten]] and [[Trunks]] home while he checks on things. He tells him they will inform their families later, as he does not know about [[Goku]], but Vegeta said [[Gohan]] was killed by [[Majin Boo]]. Kuririn cannot believe even Gohan is gone.
-Kuririn prepares to leave, but he and Piccolo feel a familiar ''ki'' suddenly appear. Kuririn is excited that Goku’s alive (although technically he’s not). Goku wants to know what happened, but Dende says he will heal him first. Some time passes, and Goku can’t believe that Gohan, Kaiōshin, and even Vegeta have been killed. Piccolo says Kaiōshin was right to fear Buu, and now the whole universe will be in danger. Kuririn thinks that the fact that Goku is alive is their happiness amidst the sorrow. He says Goku is the only one who can defeat Buu, and asks if he still has more time remaining in This World.
+Piccolo flies over and lands in the crater, walking around for a bit. He realizes what Vegeta's plan was, to keep Boo from [[Regeneration|regenerating]]. Then Piccolo notices [[Bobbidi|Bobbidi's]] upper body, still just barely alive. It looks like Bobbidi had a [[Barrier|barrier]] up during the explosion, so Piccolo decides to finish him off for good. But then, tiny pieces of Boo begin moving, each turning into a miniature Boo, and they all fly together to form one big mass. Realizing what is going on, Piccolo takes this opportunity to fly away. Majin Boo is now whole again, and he starts giggling, until Bobbidi calls him over. Bobbidi tells him to heal him, but Boo is hesitant. Bobbidi asks if he wants to be sealed up, and so Boo heals him. Bobbidi is glad, until he gets angry at the ones who did this to him. The green guy and the two little runts. Instead of destroying this planet, he wants to make those three suffer.
-"To put it bluntly, it’s impossible. I can’t defeat him. The difference in true strength between me and Vegeta was almost nil. Vegeta even gave up his life, but Majin Buu was barely affected, right? Sorry, but, there’s no way I could win." Goku says he could’ve done something if at least Gohan or Vegeta were alive, though Piccolo says the amount of people there are doesn’t make much difference against Buu. Goku didn’t mean that, he wanted to use Fusion. Dende’s heard of this as well, it’s the special technique of the Metamorians. Goku says he learned it from a Metamorian in the Heavenly Realm. It’s a union technique that only two people of similar power and body size can use. Two people fuse into one, and they can become an incredibly powerful person. Metamorians are weak on their own, but with Fusion, they become halfway decent warriors.
+Kuririn cannot believe Majin Boo is not dead, and that Vegeta died for nothing. Piccolo says it is dangerous on the [[Earth]], and takes the boys from Kuririn so he can bring them to [[God's Temple]]. These two are their only star of hope, albeit a faint hope. Boo is now flying through the air, and Bobbidi is riding on his back, saying they will turn this planet into a living hell. Bobbidi's plan is kill lots of people until those three show themselves. Elsewhere, [[Shin|Kaiōshin]] is alive, weakly walking around, and begging Gohan to still be alive...
-Piccolo realizes Goku could have fused with Gohan or Vegeta if they were alive. Goku says he was taught the technique, but he’s never actually done it, since there was no one like him there. But even so, it took him a week to learn the technique. Piccolo thinks it’s futile either way, but Kuririn thinks Goku can go back to the dead and fuse with Gohan or Vegeta. Piccolo bursts his bubble though by saying that even if Goku fused with either one, he couldn’t return to This World, and besides, Vegeta isn’t in the Heavenly Realm. Mister Popo then suggests that the two sleeping inside, Goten and Trunks, have near equal power and size. Goku thinks that’s great, and says he’ll teach them Fusion until he has to leave, and then Piccolo can train them afterwards. Piccolo agrees, and Kuririn gets excited at this faint glimmer of hope.
+==Cast==
+*[[Bulma]]
-Piccolo thinks that it will take a long time for the boys to master Fusion, and many lives will be lost to Majin Buu in the meantime. Perhaps everyone will be annihilated, or even the Earth itself will be destroyed. Goku says as long as they’re alive and they have the Dragon Balls, they can fix things. Kuririn prepares to leave to fetch everyone, when the sky suddenly turns black. It’s Shenlong. Kuririn figures it must be Bulma who summoned him, and wonders why she’d gather the Dragon Balls without knowing the circumstances yet. Goku realizes they must mean to return to life the people Vegeta killed at the Budōkai. Dende says it’ll be a year before they can use the Dragon Balls again if they make three wishes, and so Goku focuses on their ''ki'' and teleport away.
+*[[Yamcha]]
+*[[Pu'er]]
-Outside of Capsule Corporation, everyone else has gathered, as Shenlong tells them to speak their wish. Yamcha knows what to say: "Please return to life the people who died today! Oh! Except for the bad people!" Shenlong says it is granted, and wants to know their second wish. Goku arrives just then, and realizes he’s too late, while everyone else he shocked to see him. He telepathically contacts Dende, explaining that one wish has already been used up. Dende says if they only used one wish, then it will only be a four month wait. Goku understands, and tells Dende to tell Kuririn that he’ll bring everyone there, since they’re all gathered with him now. Goku then tells Shenlong they’ve made enough wishes, and so Shenlong bids them farewell. Yamcha asks Goku what’s going on. Meanwhile, Babidi is still flying on Buu’s back, and he wonders why it suddenly got dark and then bright again. And elsewhere, Kibito is alive again, and can’t believe it.
