"Come Back, Son Goku!" is the one hundred and thirty-seventh chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1987 #37 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

The Demon King Piccolo looks forward to his youth being restored, and then calls on the demon, addressing him as Tambourine. He tells Tambourine to go obliterate the expert martial artists, and the pterodactyl-looking guy asks who will gather the Dragon Balls. Piccolo says he will increase the number of warriors, and Pilaf thinks he will lose his lunch if he does that again. The pterodactyl-looking guy advises against producing an egg again in his state, but Piccolo insists it will be all right, his youth will soon be restored by the Dragon Balls. So, Piccolo tries to think of a name for a Dragon-Type warrior to gather the Dragon Balls. Then, Piccolo starts some chanting, and he... coughs up a huge egg.

Piccolo tells this one his name is Cymbal, and tells him to wake up. A fat dragon pops out, with wings just like Tambourine, and Piccolo tells Cymbal he needs to gather the six remaining Dragon Balls. Piccolo asks Pilaf where the next Dragon Ball is, so Pilaf points it out on the giant radar globe. Cymbal notes the spot on the globe, as Tambourine decides on his next kill — Namu. Then both Cymbal and Tambourine fly off. Shuu is worried that they will not be able to trust the Demon King Piccolo, but Pilaf assures him and Mai that he will be getting half the world.

At Kame House, the concept of the Dragon Balls has apparently been explained to Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu. Bulma says the wish they need to make is to return Kuririn to life. Yamcha thinks maybe they should wish for the Demon King's destruction instead, but Pu'er says the Dragon Balls would turn to stone then and they would not be able to revive Kuririn for a year. Oolong brings up that if they brought Kuririn back after that long, his corpse would have rotted by then and he would be some kind of zombie. Which is why Bulma is going to make a refrigeration capsule. She asks Oolong if he wants to get in one, too, and Oolong just says he is alive.

The Turtle Hermit starts mumbling to himself. "Hmm... Light gray..." Yamcha asks him what sort of plan that is supposed to be. "No, Bulma's panties." (Bulma's wearing a skirt and sitting on the couch in a position that could reveal such a thing.) Bulma gets pissed, yells at the Turtle Hermit, and beats him up. Then Lunch points out something on the TV: a news report about the death of Namu. There was a "demon" paper left behind again. So, they all realize the other participants are in danger as well, not just them. Tenshinhan is pissed that there will be a worldwide panic.

The Turtle Hermit says it will be too dangerous to stay at Kame House, so they will evacuate. He asks Bulma how long it would take to make a new Dragon Radar, and she says it will take half a day if she hurries. They fly off in a plane. Meanwhile, off in the jungle, Goku slowly wakes up! He smells some food, and quickly runs over to find a huge fish roasting over a fire.
