Summary
Up atop Karin Tower, Goku is celebrating his recovery. Karin congratulates Goku about defeating Piccolo, saying he was mostly sure that Goku would win. But not completely sure, and if Goku had died, he would have gathered the Dragon Balls himself and returned all the killed people to life. Goku is surprised to hear that Karin knows about the Dragon Balls. "Hmph. Of course I do. There is nothing I do not know!"
Yajirobe asks Karin just how he plans on reviving anyone with Shenlong killed, and Karin seems surprised to hear that. Goku gets pissed about this, and Yajirobe tells him it is fate. Karin says the souls of those killed by the Demon Clan will not pass on to the other world, as they will just float around in space, and Yajirobe is glad he did not die. Goku thinks there has to be something they can do, and Karin tells him it is hopeless without Shenlong.
But then Karin gets an idea, and cannot believe he forgot something so important. Goku asks what it is, and Karin tells him he should ask the person who created the Dragon Balls to revive Shenlong. Goku wants to know who that is, and Karin tells him it is... God. "God...?" Yajirobe scoffs, saying there is no such thing, but Karin tells Goku he will permit him to meet with God. Goku has the qualifications to meet with him, although Yajirobe does not.
Goku asks where this person is, and Karin tells him he is at God's Temple, up above Karin Tower. Yajirobe thinks he is kidding, this is supposed to be the top. Karin tells him to hush, and explains that it is floating high in the air above Karin Tower. It is too high for them to even see it from here. Goku says he will just use Kinto'un, but Karin says Kinto'un cannot go up there. Yajirobe suggests using rockets, and Karin says there is only one way to get up there. Goku is worried he will have to jump or something.
Karin says the way to get up there is pretty simple — the Nyoi-Bō. Karin explains that the Nyoi-Bō was once what linked this world to God's Temple, until he lent it to Muten Rōshi. Goku realizes the Turtle Hermit must have passed it on to Grandpa, and then Grandpa it to him, as he reaches for the Nyoi-Bō. But, it is not strapped to his back, and Goku freaks out. Goku realizes he left it behind after fighting Piccolo, and calls Kinto'un and goes after it.
Goku looks all over the battlefield, but he cannot find it, and he is really worried, until he remembers, "When worried, see the Fortuneteller Crone..." So, Goku hops back on Kinto'un and zooms over to her place. Goku explains to the Crone that he wants to know where his Nyoi-Bō is, and tells her to hurry up and bring out the five people so he can beat them. The Crone says she will give him a free fortunetelling, though, because of the great things he has done.
The Crone hops off of her crystal ball and looks into it, and says it is in this house here. Goku wonders why it would be at Kame House, then zooms off again. The Crone says he really did rescue the world, and he will also be the first human to be able to meet God. The ghost next to her says one would not guess Goku was all that remarkable just by looking at him...
Goku bursts in the door at Kame House asking where the Nyoi-Bō is, and everyone is happy and surprised to see him. Then Goku spots it, and rushes over and grabs it, saying how he is going to return everyone to life by visiting God as he rushes out the door. Then he zooms off again, leaving everyone wondering what the hell he was talking about...
Goku returns to Karin Tower, and takes a second to catch his breath. Now that he has the Nyoi-Bō, they can move on. So, the three of them climb out onto the roof of Karin Tower, and there is a big connector in the center that has a little hole in the tip. Karin says to put the Nyoi-Bō in the hole, and then he can make it grow to reach God's Temple. He gives Goku a little bell, and says it will prove his worth. Yajirobe thinks it would be impolite for Goku to meet God looking all tattered like that, but Karin says it will not matter, since he will just get messed up again...
