Synopsis
With the help of Kaiō, Goku gets ahold of the Namekians' ki, and teleports to New Planet Namek. Explaining things to the Eldest, he takes Dende and returns to Earth. On Earth, the world martial arts champion Mister Satan announces that he will enter the tournament. But indifferent to this commotion, in the Heavenly Realm Dende reunites with Gohan and Kuririn. Dende then uses the dragon model that Mister Popo made, and revives the Dragon Balls, which had been turned to stone in their respective locations.
Summary
Part A
At Kame House, Son Gohan, Kuririn, and Chi-Chi arrive for a visit. Chi-Chi is still upset at Goku for leaving the family in the middle of their drive. On the television, the King of Earth announces of destruction of the world's military by Cell. He urges the world not to panic, reminding them of the young boy who saved the world from Piccolo Daimao so many years ago. Either he, or another savior, may appear again. He urges the world to pray to God, but Kuririn bemoans that there is no God.
On Kaiō's Planet, Goku finishes telling Kaiō about Cell. Goku tells him of his plan to appoint another Namekian as God so that they can restore the dragon balls. Kaiō agrees to help Goku locate their new planet. Goku won't stop talking about how glad Mr. Popo will be to have company at God's Temple and Kaiō has to tell him to be quiet and let him concentrate. Moments later, he locates their planet! As Goku searches for their ki, Kaiō gets even by refusing to stop talking about how Goku's new instantaneous movement technique. Goku eventually asks him to shut up as well, proving his old master's point. Goku eventually located a Namekian ki and teleports to their location on New Namek. He lands in a village near the new Grand Elder, Mori. The Elder is excited to meet Son Goku and thanks him for saving their lives, although Goku reminds him that he was unable to save Planet Namek itself. They say that they can feel Cell's evil ki all the way there. Goku explains his plan and Mori suggests Dende for the role. Dende agrees and Goku promises to take care of him. They teleport back to Kaiō to tell him the news, then back to God's Temple on Earth. There, Goku quickly tells the news to Piccolo, Future Trunks, and Mr. Popo before teleporting off to pick up Gohan and Kuririn.
In Kame House, Kuririn watches a news report that the world's champion will be joining the Cell Games: Mr. Satan. While the heroes look on dismissively, Satan tells the world that Cell only defeated the army due to tricks and explosives planted ahead of time. Goku arrives and picks up Gohan and Kuririn, narrowly avoiding an extended argument with Chi-Cho about abandoning them.
