"God Appears" is the one hundred and sixty-fourth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1988 #14 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Summary
Goku cannot believe this, as Popo tells him that while he might have been strong down there, up here, things are different. "Now, go home, go home." Goku insists he cannot leave, he has to meet with God to return everyone to life. Then Goku asks if he can use this place for some special training, and Popo says to do as he likes, though it is futile. So, Goku tries to run some laps around the place, but then he gets dizzy and has to stop. "This is incredibly high in the sky. The air is thin," says Popo.
Popo says something about moving faster than lightning when you are calm, and Goku thinks it is a bit difficult. Popo says it is like this; your mind has to be empty. Blank expression. Goku says that is real calm, he cannot feel his ki at all. Goku gets a blank expression on his face, too, but Popo says that is just not thinking, it is not emptiness. Goku thinks this is hard.
Popo then demonstrates the moving faster than lightning by instantly moving behind Goku, and Goku says he could not see anything. Popo has his back to Goku, and says he even knows that Goku is touching his face with his right hand right now. "How did you know that!? Do you have eyes in the back of your head?!" Popo explains that he does not rely on his eyes to see, he feels the movements in the air.
Goku says there is no way he could win against Mister Popo, and Popo says he has learned a lot from God. Goku asks if God is even more amazing than Popo, and Popo says he is much more amazing. Goku is happy to be around such strong people, but then asks Popo why God did not beat up Piccolo if he is so strong. Popo says God has his reasons. Then Popo tells Goku he can keep going until he can beat him, but Popo does not know how many years it will take. Goku does not mind that.
A voice calls out, and Goku asks Popo if it is God, and it is. God says he will meet with him, and Goku gets excited. Popo leads Goku over to the temple, and they wait outside the grand entrance. God slowly walks out, and he looks just like... "Piccolo!!!! You bastard, so you're still alive!!!" Goku flies over at God, but he just flicks him away, with Popo catching Goku. God is also a wrinkly old green guy with pointy ears and antennae, but he has the kanji for "God" (神 kami) on his outfit instead, and he has a staff.
God cannot believe that mischievous punk Karin did not tell Goku anything, and so he decides to explain things. Long ago, he and Piccolo were once one genius martial artist. He had come here to learn from the previous God. Unfortunately, Gods also die. He wanted to become God's successor, but could not, because he had this evil dwelling in the bottom of his heart. So, he trained fiercely until he could drive out that evil. The evil was the Demon King Piccolo. Piccolo fled from here to terrorize the people below, until Goku defeated him.
God says he will give Goku something as thanks, so long as Goku will stay here and train. Goku is more than happy to do that, and then God says he also knows why he has come here. As God, he cannot personally return people to life. But, Shenlong is his creation, and so he can return him to life. Now he will do so, and revive the Dragon Balls!
