Summary
Bulma asks about God taking Son-kun's body, and the Turtle Hermit thinks it's a relief that it was God. Kuririn looks at Gohan's Four-Star Ball hat, and says they must gather the other six to return Goku to life. Then Bulma gets pissed and wonders where Yamcha and everyone else are, and then wonders how Goku's older brother knew their location. Piccolo tells them about the strange device he wears on his face that seems to detect an enemy's strength and location. Bulma creeps over to Raditz and tells Kuririn to get it. Bulma then puts it on, and thinks it is broken or something. She thinks if she takes it home and fools around with it, they can use it to find Yamcha and Tenshinhan. The Turtle Hermit says they should first go back to Kame House, and Kuririn says he will go search for the Dragon Balls right afterwards.
The Turtle Hermit asks Piccolo what he plans to do, and Piccolo answers him by re-growing his missing arm, and everyone freaks out. Piccolo tells them to search for the Dragon Balls while God does whatever with Goku. And he will take in Son Goku's son. Kuririn thinks he plans to eat the kid, and Piccolo freaks out. He explains that this Gohan brat has a lot of fighting potential, and he wants to bring it out before the other two Saiyans get here. The Turtle Hermit is worried about his parents not knowing, but Piccolo insists there is no time for that, and threatens to kill them. He will bring the brat back to their house after a year. He thinks it will be fun for Son Goku to hear about this and have to wait for his kid after they revive him. Kuririn is scared of how mad Goku and Chi-Chi will be.
Meanwhile, in the afterlife... There is a grand station with a bunch of houses sitting in the clouds, and a long, thin path leading into the first building with a "WELL COME" sign on it. A bunch of souls are going down the path into the first building, and a little oni with a megaphone is directing them. Inside, God is at the front desk with Goku (whose clothes are no longer tattered, and he has a halo over his head). The desk is huge, with a bearded giant with a horned hat sitting at it.
The giant is King Enma, and God is explaining to him that he wishes for Goku to receive training from someone named Kaiō. King Enma looks through his record book, and says that Goku has accomplished quite a lot. Then he asks if he really wants to brave the perils of the Serpent Road to meet up with Kaiō instead of just going to heaven, and God affirms it. Goku asks if everyone comes here when they die, even aliens, and God explains that everyone in the universe comes here to be judged.
Goku asks if someone named Raditz came by before him, and God yells at him for not speaking politely. King Enma says he sent him to hell. Raditz struggled, but he took him down. Goku is impressed, and tells God he wants to receive training from this guy instead. God says not to be so loud, and then whispers that Kaiō is actually stronger than King Enma. King Enma hears this, and wonders if he should send God to hell when his time comes. God tries to cover his tracks with some joke about hell ears, and then King Enma finally gives Goku the okay to go train with Kaiō.
King Enma points Goku in the right direction, and so he heads out to the Serpent Road, and says thanks. Then God begins solemnly thinking about the approaching danger, until King Enma yells at him to shut up and hurry and go home. Meanwhile, an oni drives Goku out of the big checkout station, until they come to a serpent's head. The oni asks Goku if he is healthy, and Goku says he is not because he is dead. Goku asks about this Kaiō, and the oni explains that he is a god who stands atop the whole universe. But now they have arrived at the serpent's head, and Goku needs to climb up and walk all the way down the serpent's back, Serpent Road, to reach Kaiō. Goku thinks it looks really long, and the oni tells him it is a million kilometers.
Goku cannot believe this, and the oni warns him not to fall through the clouds surrounding the road — below them is hell. Goku wishes he had brought a bentō, and the oni explains that he does not need food, since he is dead. Goku then asks the oni if he knows the Fortuneteller Crone, and he does. So, Goku says to tell her next time she comes by to tell the Turtle Hermit not to wish him back until a year from now. The oni makes a note of this, and then Goku takes off with Bukūjutsu. Elsewhere, in a capsule plane, the Turtle Hermit says they cannot keep this quiet from Chi-Chi, and tells Kuririn to go tell her. Bulma says that she seems like an educational mama, so she will probably kill him. Meanwhile, Goku has decided that Bukūjutsu takes too much energy and is now running along Serpent Road.
